I’m so invested in the apocalypse au rn you have no idea ITS SO GOODDD!!
THANK YOU, ANON!! i feel like i rambled a bit at the beginning, but i felt like i had to explain that part of the reader’s life before they meet her.
i studied each character a lot to know how to write their reactions and how they interact with reader, which is why the second part is taking a little longer, but it’ll be out soon!
task force 141 finding a pregnant and scared reader in a zombie apocalypse… 💭
(mature content, pregnancy and dead people!)
⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꫂ ၴႅၴ ₊ ⊹
in the quiet hush of what used to be a world full of noise and life, you had somehow managed to carve out a fragile, solitary existence in your isolated cabin. it was nestled deep in the dense woods of what had once been rural georgia, a place far removed from the crumbling cities and highways where the dead now roamed in endless, groaning hordes…
the apocalypse had erupted like a nightmare you couldn’t wake from, a virus that spread through bites and scratches, turning people into mindless shamblers. their skin would gray and flake away over time, their eyes turning a milky white, empty and eternally hungry.
not all of them were the slow, dragging types you’d seen in old zombie movies, some of the freshly turned ones moved with a frantic, almost desperate speed, lunging with agility that could catch you off guard before their bodies fully decayed and stiffened.
but most, after a day or two, devolved into that familiar shuffle, drawn relentlessly by any sound, any scent of the living, or the slightest movement in their blurred vision.

you’d been surviving here for months now, exactly five months into this hellish new reality, and every day felt like a battle won against impossible odds. the cabin itself had been yours long before the world ended, a cozy weekend getaway you’d inherited from your grandparents after they passed away peacefully in their old age. it wasn’t anything fancy, just a single story wooden structure with weathered logs that creaked in the wind, a wraparound porch that overlooked a small, overgrown clearing encircled by towering pines and oaks that whispered secrets in the breeze.
you’d managed to rig up a couple of solar panels on the slanted roof, salvaged from a nearby abandoned farm, providing just enough intermittent power to run a single lamp in the evenings or charge the old radio that mostly spat out static and the occasional garbled emergency broadcast that hadn’t updated in years. water came from a rusty hand pumped well out back, and you’d learned the hard way to boil every drop over a small fire pit to kill off whatever contaminants might lurk in it.
inside the cabin, it felt like a stubborn holdout of normalcy against the encroaching decay of the world outside. the walls were painted a soft, faded blue, the color reminiscent of clear summer skies you’d almost forgotten, and they were adorned with framed photographs of your family from better times, smiles captured at birthdays, holidays, and lazy sunday picnics.
some of the frames were dusty now, but you wiped them clean every few weeks, a ritual that kept the memories alive. scattered among them were wildflowers you’d picked from the woods in the early days, pressed flat under glass and hung as simple decorations, their petals still holding hints of purple and yellow even as they dried. one shelf in the living room held your collection of books, escapes that had become lifelines in the silence. classics like jane austen’s pride and prejudice, where you could lose yourself in witty banter and romantic entanglements that felt worlds away from your reality, or stephen king’s the stand, which now read like a chilling prophecy with its tales of a post apocalyptic plague.
the spines were worn thin from rereads, pages yellowed and dog eared where you’d paused to savor a line or let tears fall unchecked.
your bedroom was the most intimate space, simple and unadorned. a double bed with crisp white sheets that you’d washed by hand in a basin outside, hanging them to dry on lines strung between trees. in one corner, you’d improvised a crib from an old dresser drawer, lining it with the softest blankets you could find, stuffing pillows around the edges for cushioning. it stood empty for now, a silent promise or perhaps a looming worry, waiting for the baby that was growing steadily inside you.
surviving alone in this setup hadn’t been easy, especially not with the pregnancy that had complicated everything. it stemmed from an encounter you tried hard not to dwell on, a night in the chaotic early days of the outbreak when you’d been part of a loose group of survivors scavenging for supplies in the ruins of a small town. the man had been one of them, tall and rough edged with a jagged scar across his cheek and eyes shadowed by too much loss and desperation.
it happened in the dim back room of an abandoned convenience store, a moment born out of fear and the raw need for human connection amid the horror. it wasn’t violent, but it wasn’t right either, consent blurred by the adrenaline and the unspoken understanding that tomorrow might not come.
he’d vanished with the rest of the group the next morning, leaving you alone with the dawning realization weeks later when the nausea struck like a wave, morning sickness that had you vomiting into the underbrush as you fled to the cabin. your body changed gradually, breasts tender, belly swelling under your loose fitting shirts, and the first flutters of movement confirmed what you already knew deep down. no pregnancy tests survived the looting, but the signs were undeniable, a life forming amid death.

adapting had been your only option. you’d turned foraging into a meticulous routine, venturing out at dawn when the shamblers were often less active, gathering blackberries and wild strawberries from thorny bushes in the summer months, their tart sweetness a rare treat. roots like dandelions and cattails were dug up with a small trowel, boiled into nutritious if bland soups. you’d studied a survival guide from the cabin’s attic, learning to set snares for rabbits and squirrels, skinning them with your knife on a flat rock outside, cooking the meat slowly over the fire pit to preserve every bit of protein.
water was pumped daily, boiled in a large cast iron pot, then cooled and stored in glass jugs lined up on the kitchen counter. to avoid the dead, you’d reinforced the doors with heavy wooden bars each night, sleeping fitfully with your knife clutched under the pillow and a pistol, its magazine holding only six bullets now, resting on the nightstand within easy reach.
mornings were dedicated to the tiny garden you’d scratched out behind the cabin, a patch of fertile soil where you’d planted potatoes and carrots from seeds scavenged from an old hardware store. you’d weed it carefully, hands sinking into the cool earth, feeling the sun warm your back as you whispered encouragements to the sprouting greens, as if your words could coax them to grow faster.
it was therapeutic, that connection to the soil, a reminder that not everything was lost. afternoons passed in quieter pursuits, mending clothes with a needle and thread from your grandmother’s sewing kit, patching holes in jeans or darning socks that had worn thin from constant use. or you’d read, curling up on the couch with a book, your free hand resting on your belly, feeling the baby’s kicks that started as gentle flutters and grew into insistent nudges, each one a spark of hope and terror.
“you’re strong, little one.” you’d murmur, imagining a future where you could teach her to read these same books, where the world might heal enough for laughter and play.
but the isolation gnawed at you, especially as the months stretched on. at three months, the bump was barely noticeable, but by four, it was undeniable, and now at five, it protruded enough to make bending over a chore.
the baby kicked more vigorously, a fighter’s spirit that made you smile through the ache. you’d talk to her in the quiet hours, spinning stories of fairy tales and adventures, promising a world better than this one, even as doubts whispered in your mind.
how would you deliver alone? what if complications arose? the cabin was safe for now, its location remote enough to avoid most herds, but it felt like a fragile bubble, one loud noise or bad luck away from bursting.

that sense of unease had been building for days, but today, it peaked. it was late afternoon, the sun hanging low in the sky, painting the woods in golden hues and casting long, eerie shadows across the clearing. you were in the kitchen, standing over the wood stove, stirring a pot of vegetable stew made from your garden’s harvest, carrots and potatoes simmered with a handful of wild onions you’d foraged. the aroma filled the small space, comforting in its simplicity, and you hummed a half remembered tune under your breath, one hand on your belly as the baby shifted lazily. a kick landed squarely against your palm, and you chuckled softly. “easy there, kiddo. dinner’s almost ready.”
then, the sound cut through the peace, a distant crunch of leaves under boots, not the mindless drag of shambler feet, but purposeful steps, multiple pairs, at least four. your spoon clattered against the pot’s edge as your heart leaped into your throat. straining to listen, you heard low voices carried on the wind, accents that sounded british, clipped and military like. survivors. your mind raced with possibilities, raiders? scouts? in this world, the living could be far more dangerous than the dead. you’d encountered groups before, shadowy figures testing your defenses from afar, but you’d always hidden or fired warning shots to drive them off.
panic flooded your veins like cold water.
you snatched your knife from the counter, its handle familiar and reassuring in your grip, and quickly extinguished the stove’s flame with a puff of breath, snuffing out any telltale smoke. moving as silently as your pregnant body allowed, you slipped into the bedroom, heart pounding so loudly you feared they’d hear it. the closet was your go to hiding spot, a narrow alcove behind hanging coats and stacked boxes of canned goods.
you pulled the door almost shut, leaving just a thin slit to peer through, knife raised in one hand while the other cradled your belly protectively. “shh, baby, stay still…” you whispered silently, the baby obliging with a gentle roll that felt like reassurance. sweat beaded on your forehead as the front door creaked open slowly, the lock you’d never bothered to fix giving way easily.
“entry clear.” came a voice with a thick scottish accent, rough but alert. “no walkers inside. but this place is lived in, lads. look at the setup, fresh herbs drying, books arranged neat like. someone’s turned this into a proper home.”
a deeper, gruffer voice replied, laced with caution. “stay sharp, soap. could be a trap or ambush. fan out and check the rooms.”

their footsteps echoed through the cabin, deliberate and trained, not the clumsy stomps of desperate looters. you heard the kitchen drawers being opened carefully, the quilt in the living room being lifted and set back down. then, the bedroom door swung inward, and your breath caught. through the slit, you saw him, a man with a distinctive mohawk, stubble shadowing his jaw, blue eyes sharp as they scanned the room.
he was dressed in tactical gear, a vest bulging with ammo and tools, a rifle slung across his back. his gaze landed on the closet, and he approached slowly, hand on the door knob.
the door flew open, light spilling in, and his eyes widened as they met yours, taking in your curled position, the knife brandished defensively, your swollen belly obvious even in the shadows.
“whoa, easy there, lass!” he said, hands raising slowly in a gesture of peace, his rifle remaining shouldered to show no threat. “i’m not here to hurt you. name’s johnny mactavish, but they call me soap. you the one living here?”
you froze, adrenaline surging, eyes flicking over his face for signs of deceit. he looked hardened by the world, scars on his knuckles and a faint one above his eyebrow, but his expression was one of genuine surprise, not malice. trust was a rare commodity, but something in his open palms kept you from lunging.
“get out.” you hissed, voice low and trembling with fear and defiance. “this is my house. leave.”
flames of the north: a conqueror’s forbidden claim.
aegon the conqueror x female stark! reader.
ꫂ ၴႅၴ summary: in the frozen halls of winterfell, you, the eldest daughter of king torrhen stark, live a life bound by duty and the harsh winds of the north. but when aegon targaryen and his dragons descend upon your world, a forbidden spark ignites, one that echoes through centuries, blending fire and ice in a passion that could reshape kingdoms.
as negotiations teeter on the edge of war, secret meetings and stolen touches draw you into the dragonlord’s embrace, where desire overrides caution and love defies conquest. will you kneel to the flames, or will the wolf tame the dragon?
(explicit content, reader insert, themes of forbidden romance and power)
the chill of the north seeps into your bones like an old friend, a constant companion in the vast halls of winterfell. you are the daughter of torrhen stark, the king in the north, and your life is a tapestry woven from the harsh threads of duty, family, and the unyielding wilds beyond the castle walls. born under the shadow of the weirwood trees, with their blood-red leaves whispering secrets to the old gods, you grow up knowing the weight of your lineage.
the starks rule the north for thousands of years, and as the eldest daughter, your brothers still young and wild, you embody the strength of the wolf pack.
your days begin before dawn, wrapped in furs against the biting frost. you rise to the sound of the castle stirring: servants haul wood for the hearths, guards change shifts on the battlements, and the distant howl of direwolves echoes from the godswood.
your father, torrhen, is a stern man, broad-shouldered and battle-hardened, with a beard streaked in gray from years defending the realm against wildlings and southern skirmishes. he rules with an iron fist tempered by quiet wisdom, and your interactions with him blend reverence and subtle rebellion.
“father…” you say over breakfast in the great hall, where the long tables groan under platters of black bread, salted fish, and steaming venison stew. the air thickens with the scent of pine smoke from the massive fireplace. torrhen looks up from his maps, his blue eyes, mirrors of your own, piercing through you. “the scouts report unrest in the neck. the crannogmen whisper of omens in the swamps.”
he nods, his voice a low rumble like thunder over the mountains. “and what do you make of it? you’re not just my daughter; you’re a stark. speak your mind.”
“i think it’s more than omens,” you reply, buttering a hunk of bread with deliberate strokes. “the swamps hide dangers, perhaps wildlings probing our borders again. we should send more men to reed’s keep.”
torrhen grunts in approval, leaning back in his high-backed chair carved with direwolf motifs. “sharp as ever. but remember, the north is vast. we can’t chase every shadow.” he pauses, his gaze softening just a fraction. “you’ve your mother’s fire in you. she’d be proud.”
you smile faintly, but inside, a spark of defiance flickers. your mother passed years ago, leaving you to navigate this world of men. torrhen treats you as an advisor, not a fragile flower to wed off for alliances, but the undercurrent of expectation lingers.
“marry well.” he reminds you during quieter moments in his solar, where tapestries of ancient battles hang on the stone walls, flickering in the candlelight. “the north needs strong bloodlines. but choose with your head, not your heart. hearts lead to folly.”
“i know, father.” you say, tracing the grain of the wooden table. “but what if the heart and head align? singers tell of loves that forge empires.”
he chuckles dryly, shaking his head. “singers spin tales to warm beds, not thrones. stick to steel and strategy, girl.”
you nod, hiding the restlessness that stirs within. your heart yearns for more than a political match; stories from traveling bards speak of passion and fire, of loves that burn brighter than the northern lights. but in winterfell, life is practical. you train with the sword in secret, your lithe frame moving with the grace of a shadowcat under the watchful eye of your sworn shield, a grizzled warrior named harlan.
“keep your guard up, my lady...” harlan grunts as you spar in a secluded courtyard, snow crunching underfoot. your blade clashes against his, the ring of steel echoing off the walls.
“you’re quick, but speed won’t save you from a wildling’s axe.”
you pivot, sweeping low. “then teach me strength, harlan. i won’t be helpless.”
he parries with a laugh. “helpless? you’re a wolf, not a lamb.”
⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꫂ ၴႅၴ ₊ ⊹
afternoons see you riding through the wolfswood, your direwolf pup, snowfang, loping at your side, her white fur blending with the snowdrifts. the forest whispers around you: branches creak in the wind, ravens caw from skeletal trees, and the scent of pine and earth fills your lungs. you push your gray mare harder, the thrill of freedom chasing away the castle’s confines, the wind tangling your braids and stinging your cheeks as snowfang’s playful barks echo through the trees, her paws kicking up flurries of snow that sparkle in the pale sunlight.
evenings bring feasts or councils, where you sit at your father’s right hand, listening to lords bicker over land disputes or the ever-present threat from the ironborn. the great hall buzzes with voices, tankards clinking, and the roar of laughter. lord karstark argues with umber about border patrols, their beards flecked with ale foam.
“the ironborn raid our coasts like rats!” umber bellows, slamming his fist. “we need ships, not words!”
you lean in, voice cutting through the din. “ships take time, my lords. fortify the harbors first, towers with ballistae. make them pay in blood before they touch shore.”
torrhen nods. “my daughter speaks true. action over bluster.”
the north is your world: endless forests, frozen rivers, and a people as resilient as the weirwoods. you wear gowns of wool and fur, embroidered with the direwolf sigil, your dark hair braided in the northern style. but beneath it all, restlessness stirs. whispers from the south speak of dragons, myths come alive, and a conqueror named aegon targaryen, who claims the seven kingdoms as his own.
“father, have you heard the latest ravens?” you ask one evening in the solar, poring over scrolls by firelight. “this aegon, he burns castles like kindling.”
torrhen dismisses it with a wave. “tales to frighten children. dragons? bah. the south can keep its fires; we have ice.”
but you feel a pull, like the tide drawing you toward an unknown sea. dreams haunt you, flames dancing with wolves, a silver-haired man calling your name, his voice echoing through misty halls where fire meets frost in a clash of desire and destiny.
then, the dragons come. it starts with ravens, black wings cutting through gray skies, bearing messages of fire and submission. aegon targaryen, with his sisters-wives visenya and rhaenys, lands on westeros with three dragons: balerion the black dread, vhagar, and meraxes. they burn harrenhal to slag, subdue the stormlands, and now turn their gaze north.
your father calls a war council, the great hall packed with bannermen, karstarks, umbers, boltons, their faces grim under torchlight. smoke curls from the hearth, casting long shadows.
“we fight.” lord umber bellows, slamming his fist on the table.
“the north remembers!
no southern lizard will make us kneel.”
lord bolton sneers, his pale eyes cold. “fight with what? spears against fire? we’d be ash before dawn.”
torrhen’s expression is thoughtful, his fingers drumming on the arm of his throne. “fight dragons with steel? we’d melt like snow in summer.” he glances at you, and in that moment, you see the burden of kingship etch deeper lines on his face.
you speak up, your voice steady amid the chaos. “father, perhaps negotiation. send envoys. learn their terms. burning our lands benefits no one.”
murmurs ripple through the hall. lord karstark nods slowly. “the lass has sense. better to parley than perish.”
torrhen meets your eyes, pride flickering. “wise words, daughter. envoys it is. but if they come, we prepare for the worst. double the watches, stock the granaries.”
the council disperses in a clamor of boots and muttered oaths. as you leave, harlan falls in step beside you. “brave words, my lady. but dragons… gods help us.”
you square your shoulders. “the old gods watch over us, harlan. and we have wolves.”
they come sooner than expected. scouts report shadows in the sky, massive, winged beasts circling the moat cailin. the air hums with tension as alarms ring through winterfell. you stand on the battlements, wind whipping your cloak, watching the horizon. then, the army appears: thousands of men marching under the three-headed dragon banner, led by the targaryens themselves.
aegon, astride balerion, lands in a field outside winterfell, the ground trembling as the black dragon folds its wings. the beast’s scales gleam like obsidian, eyes like molten gold. smoke curls from its nostrils, melting the snow around it. visenya and rhaenys flank him, their mounts no less terrifying, vhagar’s green hide rippling, meraxes’ silver form graceful yet deadly.
your heart pounds as the gates of winterfell open for parley. your father rides out with a host of lords, you at his side on your gray mare. snow flurries like ash from a forge, sticking to your lashes. the cold bites, but adrenaline warms you.
torrhen halts the party a stone’s throw away, his hand on ice’s hilt, the ancestral valyrian steel greatsword. his voice booms. “aegon targaryen! you bring fire to the north. state your purpose.”
aegon dismounts with fluid grace, his black armor scaled like his dragon. silver-gold hair whips in the wind, violet eyes sharp as dragonglass. he’s tall, commanding, a vision of valyrian beauty that steals your breath. his sisters follow: visenya fierce in plate armor, her braid coiled like a serpent, dark sister at her hip; rhaenys radiant, a crown of winter roses woven into her hair despite the chill, her smile warm as southern sun.
aegon’s gaze sweeps the group, lingering on you for a heartbeat longer than necessary. those violet eyes seem to burn through your furs, igniting something deep within, a spark, forbidden and fierce.
“king torrhen stark,” he says, voice smooth and resonant, carrying over the wind. “i am aegon, of house targaryen. i come not as destroyer, but unifier. kneel, and the north remains yours under my banner. refuse, and join harren the black in ashes.”
torrhen stiffens. “the north kneels to no man. we’ve held these lands since the first men. what makes you think fire will break us?”
aegon steps closer, unflinching. “fire forges as well as burns. i’ve seen the realms divided, weak, prey to greater threats. united, we stand eternal.” his eyes flick to you again. “and you, lady? what say the wolves to the dragon’s call?”
you meet his stare, chin lifted. “wolves endure where flames flicker out. but wisdom sees alliance over annihilation. what terms, exactly?”
a faint smile tugs at his lips, intrigue flashing. “bold. i like that. terms: fealty, taxes, men for my armies. in return, protection, trade, peace.”
visenya snorts softly. “peace? if they bend.”
rhaenys lays a hand on her sister’s arm. “easy, visenya. let words fly before fire.”
torrhen grunts. “we’ll discuss in my hall. hospitality demands it.”
aegon nods. “lead on, king in the north.”
as you ride back, you feel his eyes on your back, a heat that defies the snow.
negotiations stretch into days. aegon’s host camps outside the walls, their fires dotting the landscape like fallen stars. tents of crimson and black silk billow in the wind, dragons roaring in the distance. your father hosts them in the great hall for feasts, a show of northern hospitality masking the tension. the air fills with the sizzle of roasting meat, the strum of lutes, and cautious laughter.
visenya is aloof, her sword dark sister at her side, speaking little but observing everything with hawk-like eyes. she spars with your guards one afternoon, her blade a blur, disarming harlan in seconds.
“impressive,” you say, approaching her after. “valyrian steel?”
she sheathes it with a nod. “forged in dragonfire. yours is ice, yes? a worthy blade.”
rhaenys is charm incarnate, regaling the lords with stories of valyria’s fall over mulled wine. “imagine cities of dragonglass, skies filled with our kin,” she says, her voice melodic. “lost now, but we carry the legacy.”
you sit beside her one night, curious. “and your dragons? do they heed only targaryens?”
she smiles, violet eyes twinkling. “blood calls to blood. meraxes knows my heart as i know hers.” she leans in. “but tell me of the north. these weirwoods, do they truly speak?”
“in whispers,” you reply. “the old gods see all.”
but aegon… aegon seeks you out. it begins subtly. during a hunt in the wolfswood, organized to ease the strain, you ride ahead, snowfang bounding through the underbrush. the forest is alive: leaves rustle, deer tracks mark the snow, the scent of damp earth heavy.
a stag crashes through the trees, antlers like branched lightning. you nock an arrow to your bow, drawing back with steady breath. the string sings as you loose, it flies true, embedding in the beast’s flank. it staggers and falls.
“well shot.” a voice says from behind.
you turn, heart skipping. aegon emerges on foot, his own bow slung over his shoulder. up close, he’s even more striking, high cheekbones, full lips, a scent of smoke and leather clinging to him.
“the north teaches precision” you say, dismounting to approach the kill. snowfang growls low but stays at your heel. “waste an arrow, and you starve.”
he smiles faintly, a rare crack in his stoic facade. violet eyes trace your form. “and what else does the north teach, daughter of torrhen?”
“endurance...” you reply, kneeling to check the stag. blood steams in the cold air. “loyalty. to kin, to land. and you? what lessons from dragonstone?”
“ambition.” he says, stepping closer. “vision. dreams of a realm unbroken.” his hand brushes yours as he helps lift the carcass onto your horse, accidental, or not? heat blooms at the touch.
“dreams can deceive.” you murmur, meeting his gaze. “like mirages in the desert.”
“or guide.” he counters softly.
the moment stretches, charged. snowfang whines, breaking it. you mount up.
“come. the others wait.”
but as you ride back, side by side, conversation flows. he asks of the wall, you of valyria. a fascination ignites.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꫂ ၴႅၴ ₊ ⊹
that evening, in the godswood, you seek solitude under the heart tree. red leaves fall like blood drops, the carved face weeping sap. you kneel, praying for guidance.
footsteps crunch snow. aegon appears, cloaked in black. “am i intruding?”
you rise, brushing off your knees. “the godswood is for all who respect the old gods.”
he approaches the tree, hand hovering over the bark. “strange, these faces. in valyria, we had fourteen flames, gods of fire.”
“fire consumes,” you say. “wood endures.”
he turns to you, eyes intense. “yet fire warms. tell me, why do you advise your father so boldly? most ladies hide behind septas and embroidery.”
you laugh softly. “i’m no southern flower. starks lead, man or woman. and you? why seek me out?”
a pause. “you intrigue me. fierce as visenya, warm as rhaenys, but with a wildness all your own. like a wolf in dragon’s shadow.”
heat rises in your cheeks. “flattery from a conqueror?”
“truth.” he says, stepping closer. the air between you crackles.
from that moment, the fascination grows. aegon finds reasons to speak with you, discussing strategy in the godswood, or walking the battlements at dusk, the aurora dancing overhead like green flames.
“the lights...” he says one evening, leaning against the stone parapet beside you. wind tugs at your cloak, his hair. “we have nothing like them in the south.”
“they’re the old gods’ veil.” you explain, breath fogging. “hiding secrets from the stars.”
he turns, hand brushing yours, deliberate this time. “and what secrets do you hide?”
your pulse quickens. “why conquer?” you deflect. “the north stands alone for millennia.”
“because division breeds weakness,” he replies, fingers lingering. “i’ve seen it in dreams, flames consuming all if we fracture. but with you… i see alliance. fire and ice.”
his touch sends sparks through you, a heat foreign to your icy world. and in his eyes, you see echoes of forbidden tales: a conqueror ensnared by northern spirit, a union that could reshape realms.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꫂ ၴႅၴ ₊ ⊹
visenya notices, her disapproval sharp. “brother,” she says one day in the hall, voice low as you pass. “the wolf pup distracts you. remember our purpose.”
rhaenys is amused, whispering to you during a feast. “my brother sees fire in you, wolf-girl. beware, it consumes. but oh, the warmth…”
your father notices too. in his solar, maps of the trident spread before him, he corners you. “the dragon’s eyes follow you. tread carefully, daughter. his interest could be a ploy to weaken us.”
“it’s no ploy,” you insist, though doubt nips. “he’s… different. visionary.”
torrhen sighs. “visionaries build on ashes. guard your heart.”
but caution fades as tension builds, electric as a storm. nights blur into secret meetings. aegon slips into winterfell under cover of darkness, cloaked like a commoner, meeting you in hidden alcoves or the crypts below, where stark kings slumber in stone silence.
in the crypts one night, torchlight flickers on ancient statues. “tell me of your dreams.” you whisper, backs against a tomb.
he pulls you close, hands on your waist. “i dream of thrones, of peace. and lately… of you.” his lips brush your ear. “defiant, beautiful. a queen for a new age.”
you shiver. “i’m no queen. just a stark.”
“more,” he murmurs. “like a song from the bards, a northern beauty captivating a dragon lord.”
“and your wives?” you ask, though your body presses against his.
“duty, desire.” he says, fingers tilting your chin. “you are love.”
then he kisses you, fierce and claiming. his lips taste of smoke and spice, tongue delving deep as his hands roam over your curves with a possessiveness that sends shivers racing down your spine, your body awakening in ways you’ve only dreamed of in the quiet nights of winterfell. you melt against him, your fingers fisting in his tunic, pulling him closer as the cool stone of the tomb presses into your back, a stark contrast to the heat building between you;
your nipples harden beneath the layers of wool and fur, aching for his touch, while a warm flush spreads across your chest and a slick wetness gathers between your thighs, your pulse thundering in your ears like the distant roar of dragons. the crypts, with their ancient silence broken only by your shared breaths and soft moans, feel like a sacred forbidden chamber where the old gods themselves might be watching, judging, or perhaps blessing this union of fire and ice that defies the boundaries of duty and conquest.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꫂ ၴႅၴ ₊ ⊹
the relationship deepens swiftly, passion overriding caution. aegon summons you to his tent outside the walls, guards turned away. there, amid silks and dragon banners, you talk until dawn, but soon words give way to touches, his fingers tracing your collarbone, your hands exploring the hard planes of his chest under his tunic.
“tell me of the wall.” he says one night, lounging on furs, you beside him with wine.
“it’s endless ice...” you describe, tracing patterns on his chest. “guarded by black brothers against what lies beyond, wildlings, worse.”
he captures your hand, kissing knuckles. “and you’d face it?”
“with you?” you tease. “perhaps.”
laughter turns to heat. his kisses trail down your neck, nipping at the sensitive skin, making you gasp as goosebumps rise along your arms. he unlaces your gown slowly, exposing your breasts to the cool air, nipples pebbling instantly. aegon groans appreciatively, cupping them in his warm hands, thumbs circling the peaks until you arch into him, a soft moan escaping. “so responsive...” he murmurs, lowering his head to take one nipple into his mouth, sucking gently at first, then harder, his tongue flicking and swirling. the sensation shoots straight to your core, your thighs clenching as wetness slicks your folds.
you thread fingers through his silver hair, pulling him closer, your body trembling with need.
not content with one, he switches to the other breast, lavishing it with the same attention, teeth grazing lightly to draw out whimpers from you. his free hand slides down, bunching your skirts, fingers finding your slick heat. he teases your clit with feather-light strokes, making your hips buck involuntarily, a flush spreading across your chest and neck.
your father grows suspicious, but negotiations drag, buying time. envoys go back and forth, terms haggled: fealty for autonomy, dragons for defense.
“they’re stalling.” torrhen mutters in council. “but why?”
oh but you know why, aegon delays for you. and the passion escalates. you steal moments in varied places... once in the stables during a late-night check on the horses, the scent of hay and leather thick around you. aegon presses you against a stall wall, his mouth on yours, hands roaming freely. he lifts your skirts, fingers delving inside you, pumping slowly as you bite his shoulder to muffle cries. your body clenches around him, walls fluttering, a small orgasm rippling through you from his skilled touch alone.
another time, in the godswood under cover of night, snow falling softly. he spreads his cloak on the ground before the heart tree, pulling you down. “let the old gods witness.” he whispers, undressing you layer by layer. his mouth travels lower, kissing down your stomach, parting your thighs. his tongue laps at your folds, tasting you with hungry groans, circling your clit until your legs shake, back arching off the cloak as pleasure builds and crashes, your cries echoing faintly in the sacred grove.
finally, the full heat ignites one stormy night in his pavilion. thunder rolls as you sneak in, rain lashing the canvas. aegon waits, shirtless by the brazier, his sculpted torso glowing in the firelight, broad shoulders, defined abs, scars mapping his conquests.
“you came...” he says, voice rough with desire, pulling you close.
“how could i not?” you breathe, your wet gown clinging, nipples visible through the fabric.
he kisses you deeply, tongue tangling with yours, hands roaming your back. the kiss is messy, urgent, teeth clashing, breaths heaving. he peels off your gown, exposing your flushed skin, goosebumps rising from the contrast of cold rain and his hot touch. your breasts heave with each pant, and he captures them again, sucking one nipple while rolling the other between fingers, making them ache deliciously. your body reacts viscerally: pulse racing, core throbbing, wetness dripping down your thighs.
“i’ve dreamed of this.” he growls, nipping your collarbone. “you, writhing under me.”
“show me.” you challenge, hands freeing his cock, thick, veined, tip glistening. you stroke him root to tip, feeling him twitch in your grasp, a bead of pre-cum smearing your palm. he hisses, hips thrusting into your hand, muscles tensing along his abdomen.
emboldened, you drop to your knees on the rugs, taking him into your mouth. his length fills you, salty and hot; you suck, tongue swirling the underside, cheeks hollowing. aegon’s fingers tangle in your hair, guiding you deeper, his breaths ragged, thighs quivering as he fights control. “seven hells… your mouth…”
he pulls you up before he finishes, laying you on the bed. parting your legs, he settles between, fingers tracing your slick folds. “so ready...” he murmurs, sliding two in, scissoring to stretch you. your walls clench, hips rocking, a flush creeping up your body.
he adds his mouth, tongue lapping at your clit while fingers curl inside, hitting that spot repeatedly. pleasure coils tight, your toes curl, breaths come in gasps, muscles tightening until you shatter, back arching, a gush of wetness coating his hand as you cry out.
still trembling, you pull him up. “inside me. now.”
he positions himself, thrusting in slowly, your body yields, stretching around his girth, a delicious burn. he fills you completely, pausing as you both groan, your nails digging into his back, drawing red lines. his cock throbs inside you, your walls pulsing in response.
he starts with deep, slow thrusts, grinding against your clit each time, making sparks fly. your legs wrap around him, heels urging deeper. “harder!” you beg, and he complies, pace quickening, skin slapping, sweat slicking your bodies. he switches positions, rolling you atop him. you straddle, sinking down, controlling the rhythm: rolling your hips, grinding down as he thrusts up. his hands grip your breasts, pinching nipples, sending jolts through you.
“gods, you feel incredible,” he pants, sitting up to suck your breasts again, teeth grazing as you ride him faster. your body reacts wildly, clit rubbing against his pelvis, pleasure building anew.
you push him back, turning to face away, his cock hits new angles, brushing your depths. he slaps your ass lightly, the sting heightening sensation, your skin flushing red. finally, he flips you to all fours, entering from behind, deep and animalistic. one hand reaches around to rub your clit, the other pulling your hair gently.
thrusts turn erratic, your walls fluttering, orgasm crashing, vision whites out, body convulsing, milking him.
he follows, spilling deep inside with a guttural roar, cock pulsing, hot seed filling you. you collapse together, bodies heaving, sweat cooling.
this becomes routine: trysts in tents, crypts, even once atop balerion’s saddle in a secluded clearing, the dragon’s heat mirroring yours as aegon takes you against the scales, your cries lost in the wind.
weeks turn to tense standoffs. negotiations falter, armies muster at the trident, northern banners facing dragonfire. scouts return pale, describing balerion’s shadow blotting the sun, fields scorched in demonstrations. torrhen paces his tent, maps strewn, lords arguing late into night.
“fight and die heroes!” lord umber urges.
“or kneel and live.” you counter softly, voice steady. torrhen meets your eyes, weighing the cost, thousands of lives, the north’s ancient pride.

dawn breaks clear. armies arrayed across the river, the trident’s waters rushing between. aegon waits on the southern bank, dragons coiled like storms ready to unleash. torrhen rides forward alone, ice sheathed, his face etched with resolve born of wisdom, not defeat.
he dismounts before aegon, the silence heavy as winter’s first snow. slowly, he kneels, laying ice at the conqueror’s feet. “the north yields.” he declares, voice carrying over the ranks. banners dip in submission, a ripple of bows from his men. no cheers rise, only the river’s murmur and distant dragon rumbles.
aegon nods solemnly, raising torrhen. “rise, warden of the north. your lands endure under my crown, your people protected.” relief washes through the hosts; weapons lower, blood averted. lords murmur in mixed awe and resentment, but the realm bends without breaking.
back in camp, torrhen pulls you aside, his grip firm on your shoulder. “this secures our future, daughter. pride feeds no one; peace does.” his eyes search yours, sensing the undercurrents. “and the dragon… he asks for you, to seal the bond.”
you nod, heart soaring amid the bittersweet. “it feels right, father. fire and ice, united.”
aegon approaches later in a riverside tent, away from prying eyes, his armor shed for simpler garb. “your father’s kneel honors us both,” he says softly, taking your hands. “but you, will you join me? as wife, as queen, binding north and south in blood and heart?”
the question hangs, laden with promise and peril. visenya objects in hurried council, her voice sharp: “valyrian blood runs pure; a third wife dilutes it.” rhaenys counters with a knowing smile: “it strengthens us, sister. a northern bride roots our throne deep.”
torrhen, resigned but proud, consents if you will it. “i do.” you declare, the words sealing fates. the union shocks the realms, a stark as targaryen consort, wolf amid dragons. whispers spread: ploy or passion? but in aegon’s violet gaze, you see truth.

the wedding unfolds swiftly at the trident’s banks, a blend of traditions under weirwood and septon. the heart tree’s red leaves fall like blessings as vows echo: “with this kiss, i pledge my love.” aegon murmurs, slipping a ring of dragonglass banded in iron onto your finger. a feast unites the hosts, northern ale flows with southern wines, songs mingle old gods’ chants with valyrian hymns. laughter rings tentative at first, then genuine, as former foes toast the new era.
that night, in aegon’s grand tent overlooking the river, passion reignites gently. he undresses you by candlelight, kisses tracing battle scars and soft curves alike, his touch reverent. “my queen.” he breathes, laying you on silks. bodies join in slow, deep rhythm, your gasps mingling with the trident’s flow, climaxes soft waves under the stars.
months blur into southward travel, from winterfell’s farewell, snowfang howling as you depart, to building king’s landing from aegonfort’s humble stones. masons raise walls, dragons circle protectively overhead. you adapt to the warmer climes: silk gowns edged in fur, councils where your northern pragmatism tempers southern ambition. aegon’s sisters warm gradually, visenya teaches you swordplay in the yard, her strikes testing but fair; rhaenys invites dragon flights on meraxes, wind whipping as you soar over budding city spires.
in private chambers one evening, amid half-built halls scented with fresh mortar and sea air, you place aegon’s hand on your swelling belly. “a child grows...” you whisper, the words heavy with joy.
his violet eyes light with fierce delight, kneeling to press lips to the curve. “our child, blood of dragon and wolf, forged in conquest’s fire.” he whispers promises to the unborn: realms to rule, skies to claim, a legacy unbreakable.
that night, on jasmine-scented sheets in the royal bedchamber, he worships your changing form. lips trail over fuller breasts, sucking tenderly until beads of early milk tease his tongue, drawing moans as your body arches, sensitive peaks sending jolts to your core. he enters you sideways, thrusts measured and deep, mindful of the babe, his hand splayed protectively over your belly.
pleasure builds gradually, your breaths syncing. positions shift carefully, you straddle him, grinding slowly as he guides your hips, violet eyes locked on yours; then spooned close, his fingers circling your clit with expert pressure. climaxes crest in soft, intense waves, your walls fluttering around him, his seed spilling warm and claiming. holding you through the aftershocks, bodies entwined as the future pulses within.
years weave intricate legacies: children born with silver-streaked hair and stark-blue resolve, riding dragons while honoring weirwoods; a throne forged from swords, ruling a united westeros where north and south blend in uneasy harmony. songs echo your tale, wolf maiden and dragon king, passion that bent knees without blood.
[ . . . ]
centuries hence, at harrenhal’s grand tourney under banners fluttering like ghosts of old conquests, a young targaryen prince with melancholic violet eyes glimpses a northern maiden amid the cheering crowds, her dark hair flowing wild, spirit fierce as winter’s bite, laughter ringing clear over jousts and revels.
as he crowns her queen of love and beauty with a garland of blue winter roses, petals falling like forgotten snow, whispers stir through the stands: an ancient flame rekindled, the eternal dance of wolf and dragon swirling once more in destiny’s shadowed waltz, where forbidden glances ignite wars yet unborn, begging the saga to unfold anew under watchful stars…
