DRAGONS OF SUBTLE RUIN   / HOTD
-FAIRYSZN, 2024
beautiful. Crushingly so.
you look like the rest of my life

SALAENYA was a child born of rock and blood, magical fire rotting in her veins as she walks the earth in a time she was not born into. Cursed with dreams of both the future and times past, she must walk a fine line between knowing too much and knowing nothing at all. The song of Ice and Fire engraved in her brain, without knowing how to prevent the greatest doom of the time she had been thrust into.

Nightmares plagued her from her childhood, haunting scenes of uncle killing nephew, brother killing brother, son battling son. She grew into a woman knowing someday the House of the Dragon would collapse into itself as it cannibalized its own nature. She had begun to hope she was locked in rock and blood to save the Targaryens. Though eventually... she began to wonder if they deserved to be saved.

But as dragon calls to dragon and brings a wolf to companion, Salaenya decides that it was not for her to decide. The world would suffer for the absence of Targaryens. She gripped the threads of fate in her hands and began to weave her own tapestry of Ice and Fire. Fire and Blood. She rewrites the tragedy of the Targaryens, into the tragedy of Selaenya the sacrifice.

SALAENYA      I love the very bones of you,
down to the marrow, to the point that I weep.

     JACAERYS        what a terrible choice of
devotion, what are bones when you
have a soul of bleeding stars?

SALAENYA  shaking her head, smiling      I bleed
black but you bleed red,  your bones are tangible,
you love me to madness

JACAERYS smiling whistfully       
I love you to life, my sweet

18+ ( I am sorry to my friends who are not 18 and up! I know ya'll are gonna read it anyways lol.) N e ways, Salaenya my girl is going to be so fun to write. So just incase ya'll didn't see, she is not directly related to any Targaryen or Velaryon, just adopted into the houses. It'll be better explained in the prologue. N e ways, just about everyone is going to be aged up. Rhaenyra will be about twenty one when jacaerys is born. And it will also only be two years after Aemma's death for plot purposes. Jace is born in 110 AC instead of 114! (the devider above is made by zaldrizosrose on tumblr.)

THIS IS A JACE X OC X CREGAN!! THERE WILL BE POLY!!

There are so many warnings for this book. All canon typical violence and Targcests will be included in them. Also sexual encounters and smut will be written into this!

Please dont judge if I don't get some stuff right. I have the physical book and love the show, but its still so difficult to write lmao. Please enjoy my girl Salaenya the sacrifice and her two yearning men. (Men who yearn are men who earn, right -lostgardens ??)

DO NOT STEAL!! I worked hard on this plot and figuring out how to work it into Fire & Blood, please don't take credit or use that!

published 7.26.24 finished TBD
