Idk if this counts as crack fic or not but basically bc I’m pretty sure Summerhall has loads of cats due to rats, what if every time wife!reader took in another stray - Aerion would name it a dragon from history! So there’s just a whole bunch of cats in Summerhall named as dragons, granted he can’t ride them, but Aerion got his wish of having dragons (cats) in the end!! (Wife!reader loves this)
Cats
This is short but full of crack! I love the idea I did take some inspo from my own cats. Love you and thanks for the request 🥰
Ft a pic of one of my cats from 2020 at the bottom (you’ll see why) obviously out of character Aerion!
“What the fuck is that?” Maekar asks looking at the little beast sat on his chair in the dining hall. You and the children already sat waiting for him and Aerion. Daeron out at a tavern.
“A cat.” Egg answers helpfully, a smile on the boys face. Knowing what his father was actually asking but deciding to be difficult.
“I know it’s a cat what the fuck is it wearing?” Maekar demands, not paying attention to his second son as your husband enters.
“Caraxes there you are.” Aerion say walking over to the cat to pick it up. The cat purring the whole time, rubbing its face up against him. “You weren’t in your usual spot I was worried.”
“What the fuck.”
“Oh father, meet my dragon Caraxes.” Aerion say turning so his father can see that cat in all its glory. Fabric wings included. Maekar having been away for a few weeks visiting Baelor.
“Why is the cat wearing wings?” Maekar asks exasperatedly, just wanting one normal dinner for once. Baelor getting to have normal meals all the time, his children never dressing animals up in costumes or making potions.
“My wife made them.” Aerion reply’s with a smile, loving that you made them for him.
“Again, why is the cat wearing wings.”
“Well I tried them on Meleys and Vhagar but they just kept scratching me so I put them on Caraxes and she loves them.” He explains, knowing he probably should have tried Caraxes first as she’ll put up with anything. Daella once putting one of her doll’s dresses on the cat.
“You’ve broken my son.” Your father by law says looking at you. “He used to be normal.”
“Did he?” You and egg respond back both of you giving Maekar a look. You all knowing Aerion has always been odd.
“Well he used to be less obviously weird.”

“Do you know where Vermithor’s gone?” Aerion asks entering the solar, Caraxes following him. Still wearing her wings.
“He’s cuddling Rhae.” You respond knitting a new dragon snug as egg would like one, after finding Aerion’s. Noticing your husband turn around to leave. “Where are you going?”
“To collect my dragon.”
“Aerion no, he’s claimed her. Leave them be.” You say knowing the girl loves that cat, him loving her back as he’s been sneaking into her chambers every night to cuddle her.
“But he’s mine.” Aerion whines still not liking to share every though he’s a grown man.
“You have plenty of dragons she’s allowed one.” You say giving him a look.
“Fine.” He say admitting defeat as he sits next to you. Caraxes jumping into his lap wanting cuddles.
“What the fuck is wrong with my son.” Maekar mumbles to himself as he walks past the solar just having heard your conversation.
-
“Night my love.” Aerion says to you softly while you fall asleep in his arms.
“Night.” You mumble into his chest, seconds away from sleep when he continues talking.
“Night Caraxes, night Silverwing, night Vhagar, night Syrax, night Meleys, night Tessarion, night moondancer, night Sunfrye, night Morning.” He says saying goodnight to all the cats in your chambers, Vermithor with Rhae while seasmoke is sleeping in with Egg. Balarion sleeping beside Maekar’s head, the man denying it if it’s even brought up.
i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.
shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3
