Rhaenyra/Harwin Fic Recs
I have been down bad for this two over the week, and I've scoured all of Ao3 for quality Rhaewin fics. These are a few I've read so far and loved, and I think they deserve the willing readers looking for more content:
Cavalier (by greenleigh)
"Harwin knew that, whatever Rhaenyra Targaryen demanded of him—his loyalty, his obedience, his affections—it would be done. Because Harwin wanted her: the Realm’s Delight, and his too."
Rating: Mature | One-Shot
Breakbones and Dragonrider (by beneathawesternsky)
Author's Note: In the years between Rhaenyra's marriage to Laenor Velaryon and Daemon Targaryen, Ser Harwin Strong, aka Breakbones, became Rhaenyra's guard and confidant. I have suspicions that the show runners of House of the Dragon will rob us of the slow burn romance we deserve between Rhaenyra and Harwin, and this fic is meant to explore that.
Rating: Explicit for Later Chapters | Ongoing
between the hunger and the heart (by anonymous)
"It is an odd thing, to know you are thought of as lesser.
Odd, she thinks, if oddness were a pain, a constant companion like a small bit of glass stuck in the bottom of your foot. A cut on the tip of your tongue. A coppery taste in every swallow.
And that, she thinks, is more fitting, the coppery tang of it all. Metallic, sharp-edged, a knife of a feeling, a blade that sings as silent as a blade through skin.
Women and blood, from first to last; everything they swallow down in between.
In it, she thinks, a language. One every woman knows, one conveyed in silence, in straight backs or hunched shoulders, beneath lashes and out of the corner of their eyes.
Rhaenrya learns this language before any other."

[ COMMISSION • DO NOT REPOST] A few weeks ago the talented @beneathawesternsky reached out to me to commission me a scene from her amazing Rhaewin fanfic “Breakbones and the Dragonrider” (on AO3). As a fan of her work and a passionate Rhaewin shipper I was honoured of her trusting me on it and I went to work on it right after. We were both very happy with the final result and looking forward to share it with all her fans. Hope you all will love it too 🥰

some recs of my favorite fics
book canon fics
Goodbye Means Going Away (And Going Away Means Forgetting) by vixleonard
the original jonsa fic, if you haven’t read it yet you should. it’s from rickon’s pov, where his memories of ned and cat bleed into his memories of jon and sansa, who care for him now.
i’m the dog that ate your birthday cake by dwellingondreams
au where tyrion is the first born so joanna lives for a while. it’s a really interesting exploration of who joanna might have been, as well as what her impact could have been on tyrion.
you're my king and i'm your lionheart by plantagenet
jeyne & robb’s relationship from jeyne’s pov. it’s a great take on jeyne bc it gives her a spine without leaning too hard into the “quirky nurse” route that the show took. heartbreaking of course.
Four Women Who Were Jon Snow's Mother by Baamon5evr
bunch of short drabbles on "what if" situations where various women wind up mothering jon snow - lyanna, cat, elia, ashara. they're interesting character studies & tbh “what if jon snow was raised slightly differently” aus are my weakness
Agony by bubblewrapstargirl
au where theon is brought back to life with all his memories, right when he’s taken away from pike as a hostage. i fucking love this fic because it has so much throbb, theonsa, and theonjon and those are my weaknesesssas but it was abandoned so beware. it's worth the heart break though!!
game of thrones/house of the dragon canon fics
The King's Desire by exax3
the series but throbb are fucking. mostly show canon bc of the ages. made me want to kms but in a good way.
The Black Widow by Its_Rhaenin_Time
ongoing. kind of a tragicomic take on the dance, an au where alicent convinces the small council to put aegon aside as heir, wed aemond to rhaenyra, and install aemond as king as a way of protecting rhaenyra from being killed. it’s excellent and hilarious. technically more pro blacks, but it's not really anti anyone on team green except criston and the lannisters (the rhaenyra/aegon dynamic is sublime). focuses a lot on gender, sex, and cultural dynamics. currently my favorite fic actually, i'm obsessed with it.
The fire of our blood by katbux
ongoing. au where aegon ii reincarnates just as he’s crowned to try to redo the dance. surprised me by going the aegon/aemond/helaena route romance wise (which is the best route), and i like all the politicking in it. less “pro green” than it is “pro aegon, helaena, aemond, and daeron getting extensive therapy” & it’s kind of a mix between show & book canon. really delves into the "can they actually avoid the dance" question.
Breakbones and the Dragonrider by beneathawesternsky
romantic fic that started as an exploration of the rhaenyra/harwin relationship and morphed into an au where they wind up married. very cute, very romantic, love the supporting characters in it, and the way house strong is characterized as a northern house pre-harrenhal and all the “aegon’s vision” stuff in it.

HotD Ep 3 thoughts (not spoiler free)
Caraxes just squishing that fanboi guy. I cackled.
Mention of Johanna Swann! That made me squeep a little. *Neverending Story voice* "But that's another story, to be told another time".
Breakbones giving Rhaenyra a "hey baby" look when she returns from her sleepover with Criston.
Triarchy tactics like the Japanese in WWII - hide in the coral caves to avoid air attacks.
Watching Daemon be like "I am totally surrendering guys!" and just waiting for Seasmoke to appear out of the overcast. And then he DOES and YESSSS.
In the books Laenor never seemed in the forefront to me. But in the show I love him already, he's a badass dragonrider AND tactician.
And I can see where they might be going now, instead of Rhaenyra being forced to marry Laenor, she'll be like "Oh this guy rescued Daemon and rides a dragon and it's handy to have the Velaryons on my side." and then later it will be, "Oh, he's gay. Oh hi Harwin."
Meanwhile Daemon will come back and see Laena with Vhagar and go "HOLY SHIT Imma marry her for a while."

Heir to the Iron Throne (Princess / Queen) 𝐑𝐇𝐀𝐄𝐍𝐘𝐑𝐀 𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐘𝐄𝐍; the sole child born of King Viserys I's first marriage to Queen Aemma Arryn; she had two brothers, both of whom died in the cradle. Rhaenyra became a dragonrider at the age of seven, when she flew into the sky on the back of a young dragon, whom she named Syrax.  She was later appointed cupbearer for her father, serving him at the table, at tourneys, and at court. From that point onward... King Viserys was seldom seen without Rhaenyra, and after the death of her mother from complications of birth, King Viserys then proclaimed Rhaenyra his heir, having all the lords of the Seven Kingdoms swear fealty to her, promising to honor and defend her rights of succession.. in addition, Rhaenyra was named Princess of Dragonstone. At a young age, Princess Rhaenyra became enamored with her uncle,  Prince Daemon Targaryen, and she maintained this affection for many, many years. Rhaenyra also became smitten with Ser Criston Cole when he joined the Kingsguard; she called him her 'white knight', and Viserys allowed the charming knight to become Rhaenyra's personal shield and protector. Come the age of sixteen she took possession of her seat at Dragonstone, and was courted by many lords and nobles.  Ser Hawin 'Breakbones' Strong was amongst them; the two subsequently developed a relationship that would endure secretly for many years, though she did not accept his hand and later wed Laenor Velaryon.  She and Laenor would have three sons together, Princes Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey Velaryon, though it was rumored that those sons of Rhaenyra's were actually fathered by her lover, Harwin Strong. After the death of Laenor, Rhaenyra would marry again, in secret; to her uncle Daemon Targaryen, and with him, she would have three further children: two future Kings in Aegon III Targaryen and Viserys II Targaryen, and her late daughter Visenya, who died in childbirth when Rhaenyra learned of the death of her father. This set into proper motion the civil war in which her half-brother, Aegon, contested her right as heir and was crowned king by Lord Commander Criston Cole, Rhaenyra's former personal shield, and rumoured lover. Upon Dragonstone, however, Daemon crowned her with her late father's crown and declared her Rhaenyra of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men.

@fullrigor / harwin — I TRUSTED YOU AND ALL YOU DID WAS LIE.
HE IS AN EMBER. on the cusp of fire and ash, half a man and half a boy. it’s the boy who comes out now, all clenched fists and flaming cheeks, resentment shining pink in his eyes. DRAGONRIDER /HATCHLING: ‘no, never!’ a prince he might be, but princes’ bones can very well be broken, and a half a fire-breathing dragon he might be, but he stands in the shadow of the commander of the watch: aegon has not yet learned the art of war, not the art of a lie. AEMOND LEARNED TO BREATHE FIRE EVEN BEFORE AEGON LEARNED TO FLY, AND NOW THE ELDER BACKS UP AND SPITS WHATEVER FLAME HE CAN WITHOUT DRAWING THE IRE OF BREAKBONES. ‘it was jace’s fault — and his brother!’ the protest turns his cheeks pinks, turns his eyes to the floor. his voice is less dragonroar than guilty mumble: ‘they’re always getting me in trouble.’

The response to my fix-it Harwin Strong fanfic has been incredible. I’m not sure how and where everyone is coming from, but I’m just so floored that you all love it. (I hear some folks came from Reddit? I haven’t seen the thread yet.)
In any case, we are 14 chapters in on AO3 and Wattpad.
Thank you guys so much, it means a lot💜

Found your fic via tiktok of all places and fell in love!
I've loved using TikTok for engaging with people. I think it's a great tool, and you just have to get a little creative with how you use it! Thanks so much for reading!

Episode 6 of House of the Dragon got ya down? Is the lack of Rhaewin content in the show going to plague you for life?
Tumblr media
You can always count on fic writers.
I’ve got 5 chapters of Rhaewin content written because I knew this would happen. (Chapter 6 coming soon! This fic is my baby, and I will not abandon it.)

Breakbones and the Dragonrider
I don't trust that the show runners of House of the Dragon are going to give us the Harwin x Rhaenyra storyline arc we deserve, so I’m taking matters into my own hands.
Breakbones and the Dragonrider Chapter 1/?
Rating: E for later chapters
