House of dragon x reader (Idea)
Hello, I must say that I am a fanfic reader on Tumblr because there is a lot of activity. Anyway, I thought of this concept for a story but I know I won't develop it. However, I like it, so I want to share it for anyone who might want to use it. I didn't make it as a direct request to a specific writer because if someone is going to develop it, I would like it to be because they liked it and not because it was requested. So here is the plot. If you decide to develop it, please tag me—I would love to read it. (You can also take just parts you like to create short scenarios or whatever.)
My idea is about a female OC or reader in House of the Dragons (I will use Y/n for convenience). Y/n would be the cousin of Viserys and Daemon (2 years younger than Rhaenyra), the daughter of Princess Gael Targaryen (the youngest daughter of Jaehaerys I Targaryen). Her mother would take her own life shortly after giving birth to her but not before sending her with a septa to King's Landing. The kings spent time with her until they died. Viserys was crowned king when she was 4 years old and claimed her as his daughter since he didn’t think there was anyone suitable to send her to.
Y/n grew up to be a great dragon rider and fighter, loyal to her family. Her dragon would be the fastest known. To compare, a normal dragon would be like a thrown stone, and Y/n’s dragon would be like an arrow shot by the best archer. She would be known as the “Ice Dragon” due to her cold demeanor, being Gael’s daughter (“daughter of winter”), and her resistance to heat being below average, which was ironic to many (I would like to pair Cregan Stark with Y/n).
Rhaenyra, Alicent, and Y/n would have been equally good friends. When Alicent began to resent Rhaenyra, Y/n would side with her niece (although she was 2 years older, she couldn’t see Rhaenyra as her sister). Y/n would be a magnificent aunt, admired by the children of Viserys, Daemon, and Rhaenyra, especially Aemond, who would fall in love with her in his childhood for being strong, intelligent, elegant, and kind. She would defend him from teasing about not having a dragon, reprimanding the others but not too harshly, saying things like, “Please, Aegon, you wet your bed today. You have no right to laugh.” She would also encourage Aemond by telling him that she knew he could one day claim a powerful dragon, which would motivate Aemond to claim Vhagar after learning that he mocked Rhaenyra’s children and called them bastards (which she also was) and everything that happens when he loses his eye. Y/n takes Rhaenyra and her children’s side when Alicent tries to attack Lucerys, she takes him in her arms, willing to defend him from her, whom Y/n has since called “Alicent the Mad” and “the green madwoman.”
She was present at Rhaenyra and Daemon’s wedding. She decides to leave with Daemon and Rhaenyra. When Aemond finds out that Y/n decided to “leave,” he becomes angry and also starts to resent all “the Blacks.” Y/n was walking with Lucerys and Jacaerys when they see Aemond again. He is paralyzed when he sees her; she acts as if nothing happened, not harboring any particular resentment towards him. But with just a look, she can tell he has changed a lot… for the worse. He no longer looks like the lovely nephew who needed her affection; he seems like a madman ready to attack at any moment. Nevertheless, she doesn’t let herself be intimidated.
Aemond greets her, “Y/n… it’s good to see you again.” Y/n feels displeasure at his lack of manners, “Aren’t you going to greet Lucerys and Jacaerys? It’s not very polite of you… although it doesn’t surprise me; after all, your mother didn’t bother to receive us properly. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, I suppose.”
When the audience takes place to discuss Lucerys’ right to succeed, Y/n doesn’t even blink when she sees Daemon cut a man’s head in two. Something Aemond notices is that Y/n looks at Daemon with pride. During dinner, Viserys asks Y/n to show an ancient Valyrian dance. She is embarrassed but can’t say no, so she lifts almost all the young people (except Aegon and Aemond), takes Daemon’s hand, and gets him to stand to teach them the dance. When they seem to understand, she lets Daemon dance with one of her daughters, forming complete pairs. Aemond would stare at her, thinking of asking her to dance, but Aegon, who was closer, would do it first. She would give him a quick, not very happy look (as he was looking at her very morbidly) and decline, “Actually, I’d like to talk with my father a bit if you don’t mind, brother Aegon.” (She didn’t like calling him her “brother” but it was what she gained by being claimed as Viserys’ daughter.)
In the conversation, Viserys would ask if she’s still not engaged, saying he sometimes doesn’t remember many things. Y/n would smile and say, “I’m still young.” He would respond, “It would have been ideal to get engaged when Rhaenyra did.” She would watch her nephews dance intently, “Maybe it’s not my destiny to marry or have children…. Although my mother was born when her mother was 44, I’m still 28, so… who knows.”
Aemond’s wordplay about his nephews being “strong” didn’t amuse her at all. Before leaving with Daemon, he would comment, “I thought you would grow up to be better than this, a cowardly wordplay is not worthy of a prince.” Lucerys’ death would devastate her. She would go from feeling displeasure towards the Hightowers to feeling true hatred towards them. She wouldn’t agree with Jaehaerys’ death but wouldn’t hate him either. Part of her would feel that “they” deserved that suffering and would feel like a monster for feeling that way, but she no longer saw those people as her family.
In the Battle of the Pool of Swords, Y/n would accompany Rhaenys. Seeing Vhagar, Y/n would tell her they need to leave, initiating a swift flight without noticing that Rhaenys was heading straight to confront the great dragon. Y/n would fly back, shouting for her to stop while being close enough to hear Aemond giving the order “Dracarys,” she would shout desperately but notice that Fire Sun was in the way. “Aegon was the usurper, the culprit of this,” without thinking much, she approached the scene shouting her own “Dracarys.” She couldn’t stay long enough to ensure Aegon’s death but knew something: if she hadn’t killed that boy, he wouldn’t experience living without pain again. She took flight towards the clouds to hide from Aemond… Oh Aemond, if she detested Aegon, what she felt for Aemond was indescribable. She took the bow and arrow tied to her dragon’s saddle, binding one of her feet. When Aemond came to look for her, she would be standing on her dragon pointing directly at Aemond’s head. He would feel the piercing gaze, look at her pointing with such seriousness, giving Vhagar the order to ascend. Y/n would release the arrow upon noticing, but it would end up in one of Vhagar’s eyes. She would let out an angry “tss” before sitting back on her dragon, ordering it to fly as fast as possible. Aemond would shout her name while trying to calm his dragon, but it clearly wouldn’t stop for him. When Vhagar managed to calm down, Aemond would continue searching for Y/n among the clouds but there would be no sign of her, making him feel frustrated and… sad. His brother might be dead, but he didn’t care. It bothered him that Y/n was there and saw him kill Rhaenys. Every time he tried to be worthy, gaining her favor became more difficult. The only good thing is that without Aegon, he would have to be the King.
The second season of the series is a bit weak, so I don’t have anything specific from the episodes, but according to the book, I imagine during the confrontation at the Eye of the Gods, Daemon would try to distract Aemond. He would start mocking Aemond’s relationship with Alys, as Aemond kept bringing up that Lucerys and Jacaerys were Strong bastards and that he himself ended up involved with a Strong bastard. Knowing Aemond’s weakness for Y/n, Daemon would say, “If Y/n were here, she’d say you’re pathetic.” Aemond would practically growl in response, making Daemon smile and say things like Y/n would be his next wife, that he was so worried about her since he hadn’t had children, that he would always keep her pregnant, “I’ll fuck her every day. As soon as I have one of my children, I’ll put the next one inside her. She’ll stop being known as the Ice Dragon and will start being known as the eternally pregnant Y/n Targaryen.” (It sounds crude and disgusting, but the intention was to anger Aemond.)
Aemond would be enraged; in the end, this would make him more impulsive and less calculative, leading to his death. Y/n arrives at the Eye of the Gods to see Caraxes agonizing on the shore. There were also many remains of Vhagar. She would call Daemon several times, but not seeing any signs of life, she would sit beside Caraxes, crying silently and petting him until he died. After this, she would take care of Aegon the Third (he wouldn’t have been taken as a hostage here). Once Aegon the Second was poisoned, she went to claim the throne for her nephew. She was reluctantly received, and since they were the last Targaryens, they were treated rudely. Y/n endured the mistreatment, thinking her priority was to take care of Aegon and that she couldn’t get rid of everyone with her dragon since she would need allies and wasn’t sure who they were. This continued until Cregan Stark arrived. It was the first time Y/n saw him, but it was the first time in a long while that she felt she could trust an adult. She suggested to little Aegon to appoint him as Hand of the King. Cregan arrested anyone he found untrustworthy or suspicious left and right. He was a tough man, and his words could be even harsher, but he was honorable and reliable. Having Cregan at the King’s Landing made Y/n feel safe in a way she hadn’t since Viserys’ first wife was still alive. She really admired Cregan, who didn’t even dare to sit on the Iron Throne.
Y/n would convince Cregan not to sentence the sea serpent. She understood why Cregan felt it deserved a sentence, but she saw him only as a poor cowardly man. Besides, Aegon saw him as family, and certainly, there wasn’t much family left for little Aegon (this would be very similar to what Champiñón says in the book):
“Why should I ignore his faults?” (faults of Corlys)
“The best for Aegon and the realm is that he has a good relationship with his stepsisters.”
“The best for the realm is that the traitors die.”
“He’s a cowardly snake, acted in a moment of uncertainty for the realm. When Aegon III is on the throne, he won’t dare to do the same to Aegon II. The prince needs to preserve what little family he has left. He’s just a child.”
“An the sea serpent dishonored his ascension to the throne.”
“If you kill him, Aegon’s stepsisters will rebel against him. He doesn’t need to go through that. Innocent people shouldn’t die anymore.”
“There are worse ways to die princess.”
At this point, Y/n would feel desperate, and frustrated with the man’s level of honorability towards her, so her last argument would be more of a desperate attempt, hoping Cregan could take pity on her nephew:
“Then do it for me, for being the queen’s sister to whom you swore loyalty, for being the one who saved and took care of the prince you serve, do this for me, and never, ever, will I ask you for anything else. Just show me that you can be as kind as you are fierce, and I will grant you anything you ask for and is within my power to give you.”
Cregan would remain silent for a moment, making Y/n’s hope grow.
“What if I ask for your purity?” Y/n would open her eyes in surprise, feeling a bit embarrassed (since she didn’t actually dislike his request). She would smile with amusement, “I can’t give you what I don’t possess, my lord. I lost it the first time I rode my dragon at 11 years old. As you know, it’s a fast dragon, and it's size. I think those were the reasons I lost what many men yearn to take from ladies.” She said with a slight smile, although she had shared a bed with some men, she wasn’t lying. Her hymen had broken accidentally the first time she rode her dragon. Cregan would find her statement funny, “Some would say you wasted what rightfully belonged to your future husband,” he would say with a smile, to which Y/n would openly laugh, “Some are idiots, and [dragon’s name] is a good dragon, much better than many husbands.” Cregan would laugh openly, “I’ll try not to forget it. Alright, I’ll grant your request.”
Y/n would be surprised, even having forgotten she was asking for something. “I appreciate it, my lord. What would you like in return?” she asked, hoping she’d ask for the most logical thing for her: resources for Winterfell in the winter season. “All I want is you, all of you, forever. I want your hand in marriage.”
Y/n would feel her body freeze and then warm up in a way that seemed absurd to her, yet she would manage to respond, “A hand for a head?” she would ask with amusement, hiding her nervousness. “Alright,” she would answer without further ado, hoping that in the end, Lord Stark would back out because how would he expect a dragon (both his dragon and herself) to survive in the cold Winterfell?
On the day of the executions, Y/n watched as her fiance’ (she did not yet believe in the validity of such a commitment) honored the wishes of the accused to join the Night's Watch. He watched as, with a single precise movement, he cut off Gyles Belgrave's head, noting the ease with which he did so, which only proved his strength. However, Y/n would not stand still when it came to Larys Strong, whom she saw as one of the main instigators of the Greens. When Larys demanded that his crippled foot be cut off so that he would not continue to drag it after he was dead, Y/n spoke loudly, clearly and without hesitation:
“You have quite the gall to dare request any kind of favor, Larys. You were one of the main instigators in this war, conspired to murder your own father and brother, and dedicated yourself to manipulating the kings you supposedly served for your convenience. You deserve no compassion, nor do you deserve to die in such an honorable manner as Lord Cregan could give you. You condemned your father and brother to the flames, and now that same will be your condemnation.”
Y/n would call her dragon, who was watching everything from atop a tower. Everyone would know what she planned to do next. Larys would beg for mercy, but Y/n wouldn’t listen. Now she was the firm and unyielding hand. She would order to remove Larys from the accused who had joined the Night’s Watch, making her dragon understand the rider’s objective.
“Dracarys,” she would order firmly, watching without any kind of pity as the last member of House Strong burned to death.
Y/n would confess to Cregan that she had already shared a bed with a couple of men in her past during a walk around the castle. She would do this after Cregan started talking about their marriage and how they needed to prepare to go north. Y/n would say she hoped not to offend him but hoped he would retract his proposal since she wasn’t pure not only because of her dragon but also because of the men she had been with. Additionally, she would remind him that she couldn’t leave her dragon to go to Winterfell and that maintaining the dragon required many resources that Winterfell couldn’t afford to waste. Cregan would tell her that he didn’t care if she had been with men before. He would say it would be hypocritical to demand purity when he had a son waiting for his return. Y/n would be surprised by how easily he accepted it, “I’m surprised by how easily you accept my past, my lord, and I’m flattered that you don’t retract after knowing it. But still, my nephew needs me, and I can’t separate from my dragon. Dragons aren’t made to live in Winterfell.”
“Then we will create a place where he can rest. the basement will be warm enough for him to feel comfortable. he will be able to come and go as he pleases. If necessary, I will make an agreement with the king to obtain the necessary resources for your dragon. If you really want to accept my proposal, I will make the necessary changes for our marriage'.”
Y/n would be left speechless, thinking that she still had to take care of Aegon and how difficult it would be to adapt to the cold. After all, although she wasn’t very tolerant of heat, she couldn’t easily withstand Winterfell’s harsh winters. But despite all the doubts, she accepted. She couldn’t refuse a marriage proposal from a man like Cregan Stark just because of a few doubts.
After the wedding between Cregan and Y/n, many lords began to make agreements and do business with Winterfell since they had the most powerful asset to offer: an alliance with a house owning one of the last dragons.
Over time, Y/n’s dragon would be the last dragon in Westeros. Her children didn’t try to hatch dragons for Cregan asked them not to because having more than one dragon could be problematic for their feeding. Y/n’s dragon was passed down to her children and their children until it died of old age. Not only was it the last dragon, but it was also the only dragon that belonged to the North. The dragon’s skull would rest in the catacombs right behind Y/n’s tomb and statue, which was located beside Cregan’s tomb. Y/n’s children, as well as their descendants who could claim their dragon, learned High Valyrian but stopped being educated in the language after the last dragon died. Y/n was responsible for teaching them, but after her death, her eldest descendants took over. Y/n’s children would have Cregan’s hair and Y/n’s violet eyes, but their grandchildren were not born with visible Valyrian traits. The time when Winterfell had a dragon was the most prosperous in its history. Even when the dragon could no longer fly well due to old age, it remained imposing, and no one dared to challenge the Starks.
I hope you liked this plot/summary I must say that I'm also a writer, but only on quotev, I'm new to writing on Tumblr in fact this is my first post hehe. Actually, I don't know if I'll post my stories here because I don't know how to organize Tumblr master list and all that but I wanted to share this idea. I apologize if some parts are not understandable; my first language is not English.
