I keep thinking about what if Adrian from your modern HotD story was somehow transported into AKOFTSK timeline instead. I’d be curious to see how she’d interact with the characters, especially with Duncan and Egg the rest of the Targaryens.
I’ve been thinking that too!
In my head I imagine Adrian being transported to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Era after she spent time in the House of the Dragon era. This would be after Aemond forced her to marry him (but in this scenario she wouldn’t get pregnant by him), and having met Alys she was supposed to cast a spell to send Adrian back home to the modern world but accidentally sent her forward in time instead while still in Westeros.
So then she meets all these new people, some of which she’s related to because she’s a Targaryen through her grandfather Maegor, and since she still existed during the HotD era there would be evidence of that, mainly the stories of how obsessed Aemond Targaryen had been with her and how he acted after her disappearance.
Now as for how she’d interact with everyone, I think it’s a given Adrian and Dunk would get along well. I could even see Dunk developing feelings for her. Adrian would be so protective over Egg, like come on it would be impossible for her not to go all mother hen on him 🥹
As for the rest of the Targaryens, Adrian would admire and respect Baelor, and given that Adrian is a Martell (who looks like Aurelia Martell-the Princess of Dorne who disappeared years ago), and Baelor's father, Daeron The Good, married a Martell, he would be fond of her.
Maekar would remind Adrian of her grandfather Adriano because of his sternness, but would understand why he’s so grumpy with the sons he has, especially after learning he had to raise them by himself once his wife died.
I think Daeron and Adrian would have some kind of friendship, somewhat similar to the friendship she had with Aegon II. There’d a lightness there because of Adrian that Daeron didn’t get as much because of his dreams before her arrival. He still drinks but her presence does help a lot.
As for Aerion, well Adrian would hate him. As for how Aerion would treat her, since she is still technically a Targaryen on her grandfather’s side (Maegor) I could see him becoming obsessed with her as Aemond was. So she’d have another Targaryen after her 😩
