In a future horny hours we need to discuss the merits of of an AU where aemond and Valaena get cast in a bridgerton style show as love interests and they have to say it was a little weird to kiss your family but they’re professionals.
But they also act like this while doing press

my mind also acts like that when i see nicola coughlan
but let’s be so for real because,,,
their family history is not common knowledge, they were cast without everybody knowing, but they resolve to be professional because this is valaena’s big break and aemond wouldn’t jeopardize her happiness at the opportunity
besides,,; they’re not playing love interest right??
they both took the job without knowing for sure they’d even play romantic leads, but their chemistry is undeniable from the start
they’re not leads initially, they’re side characters who start as enemies but slowly begin to rely on each other, chemistry out of this world from the first season as they banter and he pins her to a wall and she holds a knife to his throat
and while aemond has always known that he is attracted to valaena and wants her, she realizes it while they’re filming a scene where their characters are hiding in a tight closet together and she realizes that the heat in her stomach isn’t from nerves or the temperature of the set,,, it’s aemond pressed up against her, hard and unyielding to her softness
it doesn’t help that in interviews aemond can’t stop staring at her lips and catching glimpses of the generous décolletage, getting caught in 4k and being put in fan cams
when the show decides to ride that chemistry and makes them season 2 leads, valaena is panicking about how she’ll lose her job when they find out they’re related, how her mother will ever be able to look at her again
aemond watches her panic, pacing around her hotel room after they’re told the news at the end of the season airing at the final press tour
he wants her so bad and this is finally the perfect excuse to have her
all he needs to do is to get her to understand their chemistry
“if you’re so worried about it, why don’t we try it?”
“try it??” valaena’s voice breaks, going high at the end at the thought of his lips on hers.
“you’re an actress, i’m an actor. come over here and rest the waters. if it’s too weird, i’ll quit, they can recast me. but if we have the chemistry everyone says we do, we can be professionals about it. it doesn’t have to be a problem if we can be professional about it” aemond says like it’s perfectly reasonable and not the most important moment of his life.
“Professionals,” Valaena echos, stopping her pacing right in front of him, right between his sprawled legs. Silently, aemond sends a prayer of gratitude to her stylist for the tour. with her standing right there between his legs in those lethal and spindly heels, she’s at the perfect height for him to appreciate the way her breast are pushed high, dusted with freckles he wants to taste. Her hands settle on his shoulders for balance in those near six inch heels.
“Professionals. think of it as an audition. we’re testing the waters of our chemistry,” Aemond says slyly. He shifts forward, her lovely eyes tracking his every move, anxiety still written across her posture.
That’s fine. he can fix that and convince her in one go. he knows what she needs.
“How would we even begin to test the waters??”
Aemond sees the opportunity. “Like this.”
Seizing the opportunity, he grabs her waist and pulls her in close enough that she has to straddle him for balance.
Whatever she was going to say is cut off as he seals his mouth over hers, kissing her like he’s trying to taste her very soul. she gasps into his kiss, relaxing in his arms, molding her lips under his.
