I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss, I knew you'd haunt all of my what ifs.

Young Lady Genna Lannister, sister of Tywin Lannister, 265 AC.

Lady Genna claimed her stool with a look that dared any man there to question her presence. None did. (AFFC, Jaime VI)

This secret... it's been passed down from king to heir since Aegon's time.

That night she went to sleep thinking of her mother, and wondering if she should kill the Hound in his sleep and rescue Lady Catelyn herself. When she closed her eyes she saw her mother's face against the back of her eyelids. She's so close I could almost smell her . . .

. . . and then she could smell her. The scent was faint beneath the other smells, beneath moss and mud and water, and the stench of rotting reeds and rotting men.

He loved her, this bastard Alys Rivers. A witch, a wetnurse, whatever she was, Aemond Targaryen adored her. And she loved her silver-sapphire prince until the end of her days.

Every Queen of the Seven Kingdoms : Tyanna of the Tower.

Queen Tyanna of the Tower, also known as Tyanna of Pentos, was a Pentoshi woman who eventually married King Maegor I Targaryen, becoming his third (of many) wives. Tyanna was rumored to be the natural daughter of a Pentoshi magister who began as a tavern dancer and rose to become a courtesan. She was also said to dabble in sorcery and alchemy.

Elaena lived a much longer life than her sister Daena, and a much more tumultuous one than her sister Rhaena. Although Elaena had three husbands during her lifetime, the great love of her life was her cousin, Lord Alyn Velaryon. She gave birth to two bastard children by him, the twins Jon and Jeyne Waters. Elaena had hoped to marry Alyn, but he was lost at sea.

She would go on to marry three times, first to Lord Ossifer Plumm who died on their wedding night, then Lord Ronnel Penrose. He sat on the king's small council as master of coin; but it was widely known that Elaena was the one performing the duties, as she was shrewd and intelligent with money. King Daeron trusted her with many important matters of state, and she grew influential. Elaena birthed Ronnel four children: Robin, Laena, Jocelyn, and Joy Penrose. After the birth of her seventh child, Elaena declared that if seven was sufficient for the gods, it would do for her as well.

Not long after Ronnel's death, Elaena married once more, for love and by her own choosing. With King Daeron II's blessing, Elaena was married to Ser Michael Manwoody, a Dornishman who had attended the court of Mariah Martell. While her husband was a cultured man of great wit and learning, Elaena said it was not those traits that had caused her to fall in love with him, but his love of music, and he was known to play the harp for her. When Michael died, Elaena commanded his effigy to be carved with him holding a harp, instead of the sword and spurs of knighthood.

Her brother was in a high mood tonight. “The color will bring out the violet in your eyes. And you shall have gold as well, and jewels of all sorts. Illyrio has promised. Tonight you must look like a princess.” 

A princess, Dany thought. She had forgotten what that was like. Perhaps she had never really known

Queen Betha Blackwood, of Raventree Hall, consort to Aegon V Targaryen.

Betha was known as Black Betha because of her dark eyes and hair. She was a spirited woman, stubborn and willful. (TWOIAF, Targaryen Kings)

request by @bessofyork : AU + SANSA AS THE LADY OF HORN HILL

au - instead of burning him, Dany takes Dickon prisoner. Then when Jorah arrives and reveals the connection between his savior Sam and Dickon, she places him in Jorah’s custody as mercy. Dickon goes north with them to fight the wights. He fights valiantly and lives, and ends up in Winterfell once they retreat where he and Sansa meet. He’s loyal, brave and nice. Out of political alliance, a marriage to unite the North & the South is decided between Sansa & Dickon. A pragmatical union, between two nice -and ridiculously handsome- people, with a tepid but yet respectful start. After the War, they move to Horn Hill to start their new life as Lord & Lady Tarly... [insp.]

Catelyn+ her fanon and canon titles.

The Snow Queen

-“I can give her no greater power than she has already,” said the woman; "don't you see how strong that is? How men and animals are obliged to serve her, and how well she has got through the world, barefooted as she is. She cannot receive any power from me greater than she now has, which consists in her own purity and innocence of heart.
