No Rain Without Thunder - Hotd OC Insert
There is a Lhazareen saying, ‘No rain without thunder, no child without pangs.’ One week before Queen Aemma’s due date, a slave who speaks the bastard tongue of old Valyria is brought to King’s Landing with a prophecy and a wish. One that foretells the Queen's death in childbirth, and a wish to deliver her child safely. This is the story of a modern midwife in Westeros.

Chapter 1 is live! If you're interested in reading an atypical Oc fic, featuring a midwife from Essos who's frankly already done with noble drama before she even arrives in the west, this fic may be for you. Expect a super long slowburn, worldbuilding from a smallfolk POV, and a heavy focus on Rhaenyra, Alicent, and oc friendship themes as she works as both women's trusted Midwife over the years. This will turn very AU - Canon Divergent as the story progresses 👍
