The Sea Dragon’s Kraken

kind of daemyra dynamic with dalcerys:)

a/n: lmao I really had to strain my brain for this

anywho, enjoy luke having an existential crisis over a rehappening of what started the dance of dragons in the first place: the second son being in danger, and either killed or taken hostage:)

(very hard decision over whether I should kill little vivi off storm’s end style, or keep him alive but at the cost of ruby’s life - one of luke’s dragons, and whom vivi feels connected to the most out of the three dragons. SO I COMPROMISED AND DECIDED TO MAKE TWO SEPARATE FICS OF BOTH INSTANCES - IDK WHICH ONE WILL BE CANON, SO PICK WHICHEVER CANON AU YOU WANT TO BELIEVE:D)

a/n 2: this is the lead up fic to Vivi’s fate of arriving back to Luke safe, the other fic that ends with Vivi’s death will be Dalton not going with Little Vis to the Stepstones, and while he gets them to join his brother turned mother for the upcoming war, he gets killed on route back to the Isles by either Maelor or Jaehaerys or a son sired by Aemond I haven’t decided yet - this basically kickstarts the second civil war the same way as the first dance of dragons

@rowletlittenpopplioteam this is for you, thanks for reminding me I had too many drafts in my notes for lucerys and his harem:)

•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

“Love, Viserys will be alright. He will have Ruby with him, after all.” The words were whispered, though in the room devoid of anyone except for two, it echoed and bounced from the walls as Lucerys stared out into the sea, hands clasped tightly on the windowsill.

“I know he will have Ruby with him, I know Ruby is protective of our little Vis, but still… I can’t help this immense dread within my stomach,” clutching his abdomen swollen with babe, he turns to face his husband.

“Dalton, I fear a repeat of Storm’s End, I fear our little Viserys will be another instance of the wretched Greens taking everything from me. They already took mother, my fathers, my grandmother, Jace, Joffrey and Visenya - you know how much they wanted to rid my mother’s blood from this world, and if news of our heart being out there - all alone - spreads, he might-“ his words were choked back, as small sobs racked throughout his body.

His husband stood silent, arms crossed at his back, and eyes down to bring a sense of privacy to his grieving and distressed husband. As the Greyjoy hears the sobs die down, he slowly walks in front of his beloved, and brings his hands to clutch his sea dragon’s trembling palms. “I know it’s cold comfort, but our heart will be safe, whatever happened to you in the past will not be repeated today, and certainly never in the foreseeable future. He’s a stubborn boy who loves his brother turned mother, he’s determined to prove himself to you, he wants nothing more than for you to be proud of him.”

Luke lets out a shuddered breath, “that is precisely why I am afraid. He is exactly as I was with my mother, and I fear that sameness will be what breaks me apart again, and will be what kills him as it did my family.”

Dalton sighs defeatedly, he knew his husband was concerned, very much and understandably so. As such, he offers a bargain.

“If it makes your worry lessen, I will set sail with Viserys to the Stepstones, and I will accompany him in making a deal with the leaders of the Stepstones to your cause,” Dalton proclaims, in a near yelling tone of anger, though not directed to his dear Pearl of the Seas.

“You are no Targaryen nor Velaryon in the eyes of Westeros, the Greens made sure to publicize and spread that, and your humiliation and suffering will be what draws the Stepstones to you. They will see you as no Targaryen or Velaryon, but as Lucerys Greyjoy of House Dragonborne. And with some threats from my fleet, and from a dragon, I do believe it’ll make them more willing to fight for you - they want to stick whatever ironic victories they require with dragons in the arse of those Westerosi bitches and bastards.”

His soft consort was silent, staring at the wall behind the Greyjoy’s shoulder. After a few moments, Luke turns his dark eyes to his husband’s, and tilts his head. “…I trust you to bring our Viserys back safely - alive and well. The same with our dearest red princess, Ruby. The Stepstones will be under my command, but are free to raid and kill anything and anyone from and within Westeros.”

The Greyjoy smirks, leaning his forehead against Lucerys’, “and what else, my Lord of Dragonborne, eldest surviving son of the true Black Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, and rightful King of Westeros?”

“…Show no mercy. I grant you, your fleet, and our Viserys and Ruby my permission, to show no mercy.”

Loud laughs of excitement, pent up rage and bloodlust erupt from the older man, as he clamps his rough hands upon his lord’s cheeks, and brings him into a kiss.

Separating, Dalton whispers into Luke’s ears, “If I see that One-Eye in the skies, on the ground or at sea, I will shoot him and his dragon down, and bring to you their heads.”

“I will hold you to that promise, my husband.”

Our fam arriving in Westeros in chapter 5 of A Dragonborn's Song of Ice and Fire. Arriving in style, of course.

So I currently have plans to write a story where I isekai Rhaenyra Targaryen into Skyrim…my question is what side of the civil war do you think she’d be on 🤔

More importantly do you think she’d spare Paarthurnax or not?

This sounds like a really awesome story idea! One that I’d read rather obsessively😉

In regards to the civil war. I believe the Rhaenyra would ultimately side with the empire of Tamriel. Putting aside the obvious equivocations between between Targaryen and Imperial dragon motifs, I think Rhaenyra would support the empire for several main reasons.

Rhaenyra comes from the Targaryen dynasty. She is the heir (though disputed) to everything they are in Westeros. The Targaryen’s were Valyrian conquerors who took over Westeros (sans Dorne) via “Fire and blood”. And while their were no large secession movements from any of the kingdoms in Rhaenyra’s time she would be unlikely to be sympathetic to break away provinces of a greater polity.

Another reason could be ambition. If Rhaeneys is the dragon born on your story or Isekaid into her, she would have a claim on the Septim empire. After all the current dynasty of the Meads have no dragon blood to speak of. They were Colovian warlords that were eventually chosen to replace the defunct Septims by the Elder Council. While the amulet of kings is no longer in play, Rhaenyra technically has a greater claim on the imperial throne (by right of being dragon born). But due to Rhaenyra experience with wars over succession disputes I don’t know if she would want go down this route. But maybe she would.

Perhaps the racial prejudices of the Stormcloaks may also come into play. Rhaenyra in the show is shown to have a good relationship (at least at the moment of this post) with the Velaryon’s. Who probably have darker skins tones. Perhaps due to Summer Islander blood? Suffice it say, she would not be best pleased with the prejudices of Ulfric and his government. That said, I have no idea what Rhaenyra’s opinions on non-humans like Mer or the beats folk would be at the start.

And lastly sympathy for Elisif the fair. While their situations are not exactly the same, they are similar enough for Rhaenyra to perhaps sympathize with Elisif. Being passed over by large section of the nobility in favor of a male claimant. Denied what they view to be their rightful title because of people favoring her husbands killer (Elisif) or more blatant misogeny/westerosi traditions (Rhaenyra). And since Elisif supports the empire, Rhaeneya may do likewise. Solidarity and all. Rhaenyra also might see Elsie’s naivety and might want to help her out of it. So she’s not just a puppet to Tullius or anyone else.

But I can also see areas were she would be sympathetic to the Stormcloaks. The first being personal, depending on exactly when Rhaenyra is sent to Nirn and is she is the Dragonborn one not, the first experience she has with the empire is not…pleasant. What with her being almost executed without trial and all.

I can also see her supporting the Stormcloaks about religious freedom. Maybe. Rhaenyra is not as religious as say Alicent Hightower, but in the show Rhaenyra did undergo certain Valyrian rites. Now whether that would be enough for Rhaenyra to sympathize with Talos worship being outlawed I am uncertain.

At the end of the day though, I feel Rhaenyra potential reasons for supporting the empire would be greater than the Stormcloaks. But the prerogative of which side she joins is of course yours @itspronouncedjulia

Rhaenyra was a dragon rider in her first life. She would definitely spare Paarthunax. I think so at least. Rhaenyra would likely be happy to finally encounter a dragon that isn’t trying to kill her like every other one she encounters in Skyrim. In regards to crimes in war, I can also see Rhaenyra forgiving Paarthunax on account of his being remorseful and actively attempting to “make up for them”. Such as helping Kynareth, teaching Nords to shout, and teaching the last dragon born.

This a great idea idea @itspronouncedjulia , and I look forward to reading the story! I hope this helped in at least little ways.

In HOTD high valyarian is how the Targaryens speak to their dragons. In Skyrim thuum is a power used by the dragonborn, dragons, and The Graybeards. For those who don't know thuum is the power used to control dragons. Originally it was used by dragons to enslave humanity until a dragon named Paarthanuax betrayed his kind and taught man thuum. Soon the humans were able to overthrow their dragon overlords and banish their leader, Aludin.

Only a few humans can actually use thuum such as the Greybeards, Last Dragonborn, and Ulfric Stormcloak. On Valyria the Targaryens weren't the only dragon lords. So what if High Valyarian was a lesser form of thuum? Since the dragonlords were able to control their dragons. Maybe Aegon the Conquer was able to harness a form of this power and use it to conquer Westeros?

In the game the third era was ruled by the Septim Dynasty , a line of dragonborn emperors. The emperor's job to maintain a portal between the mortal realm and prevent Menehus Dagon from entering. Unfortunately Dagon managed to come into the world and cause the oblivion crisis. After Martin Septim died there was no heirs to the Septim Dynasty and there would be no more dragons until the fourth era 201.

Perhaps after the death of the last dragonborn(or not)

Aegon tried to wear the amulet of kings but couldn't as only blood relatives of Alessia could wear it. So imagine if (immortal) dragonborn reader could keep it on her neck and it was discovered she was heir to the Empire of Tamriel.

Maybe she puts herself to sleep so that she raise up again if need be...

My idea is that the dragons fled Skyrim after the death of Aludin and one of those places were Valyria. And perhaps in an attempt to protect themselves from potential attacks the peoples of

Or the last dragonborn could be one of those peoples who taught magic to the shepherds of Valyria in an effort to protect the people from any draconic uprising

after the doom of Valyria only the Targaryens had the spells and magic once used in Old Valyria and leaving them as the only dragonlords.

What if due the destruction of Old valayria it was like the Oblivion crisis all over again? All the magic and spells used to protect Valyria was destroyed. Now it's a matter of time before the portals of Oblivion open up again this time releasing Aegon conquers Skyrim

Or...

Ageon's prophecy was a lie and an attempt to legimatize his own reign and hide the history of the dragonborn?

the prophecy does sound similar to the prophecies of Skyrim with Alessia and the Septim bloodline.

What's your thoughts? Leave them down below

My dragonborn taking a field trip in Westeros during HOTD, Along with Alduin.

LDB casually sips new foreign wine while dragons flies over her head, trying to tear each other throats off

"Alduin, my sweet lord~ i know you want to whack those unruly lovely beasts to submission. But please don't do that, they might suspicious of us.

We are just 'a couple' who wear weird garments and accessories here, and definitely has no magic. Remember?"

Alduin in his humanoid form grumbling a little, at least he has the dragonborn to lessen his ill temper. he acknowledged her words. But he will decide later whether he should follow or not.

"Those children are no match for me, they do not even know Thu'um. let this be a fair fight and let them sort this out by themselves in a Dov way"

"yes...after all, Sahrot Los Vahzah. Those who still stands in the end shall rule"

And so they sit, and watch aerial combat above without a care for the world. What a spectacle indeed.

_____________________________________________

*Sahrot Los Vahzah = might is right.

Listen, dragon and Dovah are whole different thing. I will try not to be a racist(?) Against dragon in a song of ice and fire. But Dovah of Tamriel is not a small ass thing you people saw in Skyrim game, their size were only limited by game engine. I have always believed that they are much more bigger than that. But there are so little evidence about TES dragon size.

Have y'all seen Odahviing card in TES: legend? He is so...huge!!!

Imagine how big Alduin is when he is on full power (World-eater mode on, and papa Akatosh approved)

I believe normal Alduin would be...well, mountain size in his low power, given that he abandoned his duty and enslave mortals instead of destroying them (I imagine his size to be Kralkatorrik from GW2) i mean, there was no dragon dared to faced against him, oldest, biggest, and the most bad mood(whoops!) Child of papa Akatosh.

TES dragon have Thu'um and intellect, they are like actual people.

And people in ASOIAF view their dragon a little more than a huge beast. Yes, some of them are real cuties and show emotional intelligent. But to be able to communicate or use thu'um...it is beyond them.

Do you know any good Vic-centered stories/fics? I’ve been reading a really well-written one only to get to a part where the author’s started introducing bits of aura-truthing and taken me waaay out of it, so I’m on the lookout for a replacement to get into lol

Ugh, I hate the Aura Theory truthers so much. Victim blaming and rape apologists are so rampant in the Parahumans fandom.

I've written a few Victoria centric stories!

Point Me At The Skyrim: Antares from arc 18 of Ward wakes up in Skyrim as the Dragonborn. Explores the political and moral questions of the setting through a superhero perspective.

Hers Is The Fury: Victoria Baratheon, firstborn of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Baratheon, has strange memories of a different world and even stranger magical powers!

Janus: End of Ward Victoria falls into a coma, waking up in the mind of Taylor at the start of Worm! Now they have to work together to save this timeline from Scion.

These are my most popular and ones I update the most!

Special mention to For Honour and Glory: Glory Girl ends up in Westeros and massively derails canon when she intervenes in the Lannister plot.

If you have read other Wildbow stories, I'd recommend: Tres: Fusion of all of Wildbow's settings, a short story where the Lambs are sent to Brockton Bay to get rid of the Undersiders and Glory Girl, while Blake and Rose seek shelter from their enemies.

Abyssal Plain: Breakthrough and the Undersiders end up in the Abyss from Pact/Pale, needing to work together to survive its madness.

Peer: All the WB protags wake up as spirits summoned by Blake... or do they? All of them must work together to figure out what is going on and how they can help fix each other's problems using their unique skillsets.

Hope this tides you over for a bit!

Ok this is what I got so far for self inserts.

My S/I is a potentially immortal dragonborn whose upset because the Targaryens is using the same dragons that once terrorized Skyrim. Now she learning that Aegon the Conqueror(or his family)stole a daedric artifact leading to the resurrection of dragons using blood magic. In an effort to control the dragons and become the most powerful family but instead he looked towards Westeros. And he destroyed the (most) of the books speaking on truth about how dragons came to Valyria and changed history. But whose gonna disagree with him...? A few unfortunate septums who now lie 6 ft under.

When she meets Jace she's upset at him for want to preserve the traditions of 'his' forefathers even though they all have kept up the lie for centuries even Jaeharyes. The Targaryens discover her though her abilities (her thuum) to control dragons even tho she's not a Targaryen. She likes to lay low and not attract a lot of attention. She doesn't like court and she ain't about to dance to these nobles' music. At one point in her life she enjoyed the thought of becoming a princess.

Any thoughts?

Ahhh my dear this is absolutely amazing !! 💕💕

While I personally don't know much about Skyrim, only very little, I believe the crossover you did between Skyrim and HOTD is absolutely AMAZING and well fitting !!

If you do write about this, then please, tag me once it's posted! I'd be absolutely thrilled to read more of it, because now you got my full attention haha 💕💕🥰

Ok but, this totally looks like they are about to drop Westeros's next hit album, Dragonborn: Heirs of the Dragon.

               QUIET  MOMENTS  LIVED  ONLY  IN  fleeting seclusion since her arrival in Westeros.  But Daenerys treasured the time she found to herself behind the chamber door,  permitting only those she felt closest to into such peace amongst the war.  The dragonborn girl,  the protector of all  ––  Daenerys was drawn to her for reasons she could not explain,  but often,  she asked for her company in the evenings when the sunlight shone as red as blood.  Some nights they read,  side by side,  the turning of pages and light breath the only sounds.  Others Daenerys asked Remilia about the ancient dragons,  the language she used with them  ––  a foreign tongue,  what she thought of her own three  . . .  but this night,  Remilia came with leather bound books,  and they read.

"i never noticed your eyes were this pretty."   /   @timewound​​

Glancing up,  she met Remilia’s eyes  ––  emerald green like the Dothraki sea before the grasses turned vibrantly golden.  A smile grew across closed lips as Dany dropped lilac eyes to the page of the ancient histories in her lap,  closing it against her fingers.  “You are most kind,  my lady.  It is a color not common to Westeros,  it is true,  but is a sign of Valyrian blood.”  She paused, swallowing.  Her reflection,  the color of her eyes  served as a reminder of her lineage  ––  the  good  and the bad,  alike.  “As I understand it,  all of the great families of Valyria had eyes in shades of purple.  After the Doom,  it became known as a unique feature of my house,  but it was never ours exclusively.”

@emptysculs | Requested starter. | Rheagar & Sienna

Our Hero, our Hero, claims a warrior's heart

    The song was a chant to her head. An echo that made it seem to hard to beat. But she was no hero she was nothing more but a woman wanting more power and more pain. High Queen, she became in the name of taking Ulfric Stormcloak. She was Sienna Stormcloak. A Nord who came from the north and had an ability that no one could ever see coming.

However, she worked for someone that gave her more power. Sienna was the listener of the dark brotherhood and the dragon born. Songs chanted for her and people wanted her. She was the one who brought balance to her home. But She also was the law. 

I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn comes  

    She had sailed the seas as she was gifted the news about some contracts that were about KINGS LANDING. She wasn’t fond of leaving Skyrim it was her home and she ruled it. it was claimed that there were dragon riders here and the dragons were gifted by the high arches of this place called Westeros. Arriving at the port of kings landing. Babette scoff as she turned her head looking at Sienna. ❛---- At least Yuna could of darken out the sun.❜ She told the listener.

❛Indeed but we do not need Yuna yet. She will know when we need her and Nazir.❜ As soon as they were at the docks. The Targaryen soldiers came about to greet them as she looked around. ❛Behave, Babette, Not eating the soldiers.❜ She told the vampire.
