𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍 — a House of the Dragon fic.

The Bounty was a place of promise and healing, and as Viserys Targaryen’s health began to well and truly decline, his Queen decided that a visit to the seat of House Barren might prove beneficial to her husband. Rather than travel all that way for no more than a dip in a pool, it was decided that they would host a tourney there, as a celebration of both their twentieth wedding anniversary and the twentieth nameday of their son, Aegon. There, they were introduced to the Lord and Lady Barren, as well as their four children — the cautious Ser Quintyn, the rebellious Alyse, the calculating Cyrus, and touchy Trysta — unaware that one of them would be following them to King’s Landing at the tourney’s end. Out of them all, the one most unaware of Alyse Barren’s pending impact upon their family was Aegon himself.

— The house is burning, and you are burning inside of it. I wish I’d been there when the trees were felled to build its walls.

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 —                  Men with minds turned towards history have long belittled the influence that these four women had upon the Dance of the Dragons. Many claim they had no influence at all and were merely pawns, moved casually across the board and sacrificed without care by the powerful men that they loved.                 I have found that maesters are often as least half-correct.
