Duncan stood before the table still very much confused as to what a Trial of Seven was when a an anger voice reached all within the hall, “Where the fuck are they?”
He watched as all three Targaryen men's shoulders tensed at the voice, suddenly you appeared in the doorway, little Egg and Ser Roland following behind you. The anger was evident on your face, clear as days, your eyes wide jaw clenched as you moved forward.
“You cannot handle them on your own for a few days!” you exclaimed angrily.
Dunk’s eyes flickered down to the boy beside him, “Who is that?” he whispered
“That’s my mum.”
You pushed the anger from your face turning to the two Lords of the Reach, “If you would excuse me I wish to talk to my family alone.”
The two men nodded and hurried out of the room as you turned to Ser Roland, “Fetch me Daeron and Valarr,” you commanded as the two eldest Targaryen’s shared a glance before standing making their way to you.
“Why Valarr, my love?” Baelor asked gently, reaching a hand out to you.
You swatted his hand away glaring at both the men. Dunk was now even more confused than before. If you were Egg’s mother then you must be Maekar’s wife…then why was Baelor referring to you as “my love.”
“He is the one who wrote about this shit show.”
“Of course he is,” Aerion muttered from the table.
Your burning gaze turned from them “If I hear one more snide remark from you it will be the last one we all hear because you'll be going to the wall, understood?”
He huffed out a breath before slumping in his chair crossing his arms over his chest as he nodded. He no longer resembled the vicious prince from earlier, but instead a child who had been reprimanded.
The hedge knight now wished you had been here this whole time. You finally set your sights on him and he flinched slightly, “What is your name?” you questioned.
“Dunk… Ser Duncan,” he stuttered out.
Maekar finally called out your name, and the knight instantly noticed how soft it sounded even coming from the man’s mouth. You ignored him, your eyes squinting as you stared at the large man, “Well, please take a seat, Ser,” you said kindly.
Valarr and Daeron had now arrived to join you all.
“Mum!” Valarr exclaimed happily, voice cheerful as he was the only one not bound to feel your wrath to tonight.
Duncan who now sat next to Egg looked to him in confusion, “How is she your mom and Valarr’s?” he whispered, but it wasn't very quiet as Maekar had heard him.
The man scoffed, but his youngest son got a reply out before he could, "She's married to both of them, Ser,” he said, hoping the man would drop the conversation there.
He didn't.
“To both the princes!?” he exclaimed. The young boy only nodded, shooting him a look urging him to be silent so that he could keep his head.
He had heard of Aegon the Conqueror having two wives,but had no idea that the brothers shared a wife. That seemed like something Ser Arlan should have mentioned or even Raymun on his rant about the Taragyen family earlier. He now looked at the children and could see small pieces of you in each of them, everything piecing together slowly.
He watched as kissed Valarr’s cheek slightly, and even cast Daeron a small smile as they also took a seat now the only one standing was you, and with one look alone the room became quiet. Duncan felt as if he was intruding on a family affair, but didn't dare argue with you.
“How did you manage to get here so fast?” Maekar asked, causing you to roll your eyes.
You took a deep breath, “The three of us will talk afterwards for now were going to go in order,” you turned your sights on Daeron who seemed to sober up immensely upon your gaze.
“Why is your brother bald?”
He scratched the back of his neck, then you turned to Aerion, “Do not get me fucking started on your behavior. When is that acceptable?” you asked, raising a brow. Now you turned to the youngest, “Must I tie you to your fucking bed post to prevent you from running off again?” Finally you now looked at your two husbands, “And you two! You cannot manage to keep your sons in line for a few days without me? Youre just as fucking bad as the rest of them.”
The silence was suffocating as everyone watched the wheels turning in your head. You turned to the hedge knight, “You struck Aerion because he broke a woman’s finger?”
“They were–” Aerion started, but didn't get very far as your head turned back silencing him once more.
“But!”
“Listen to your mother!” Maekar and Baeleor both commanded sternly, causing him to sulk back into his seat.
“Yes that is my recall, my lady.”
“Withdraw your accusation, Aerion,” you now commanded.
His eyes widened, “But he hit me!” he whined.
“Did you lose any teeth?”
“No.”
“Are you gravely injured?”
“No.”
‘Did you perhaps deserve a good knock upside the head?”
“Yes,” he whispered, crossing his arms.
You smiled nodding your head toward the Hedgeknight, ‘I withdraw my accusation,” he said, begrudgingly causing you to nod. “Great, we will discuss your punishment for the horse later, go clean the damn blood off yourself.”
He sighed standing to his feet, but before he could leave you moved forward cupping his face gently in your hand whispering something to him which caused him to frown slightly, but nod. You pressed a kiss to his temple and then he was gone.
“What else was there?” you now asked, turning toward Baelor and Maekar once more.
“Daeron accused Ser Duncan of stealing Aegon,” the elder reminded you, causing you to hum.
“Aegon, did you willingly go with this man?” you asked.
“Yes, mum,” he told you.
“Apolgize to your father for running off.”
He turned toward Maekar, “I am sorry for running off father,” he told him.
The man only grunted until his eyes met yours, “Do not do it again,” he told him.
“Now hug him.”
Egg stood hugging him, and Dunk couldn't help, but notice how awkward it looked especially in comparison to the gentleness you just used with Aerion. The boy then moved, hugging your legs tightly as you pressed a kiss to his bald head, “Go prepare for bed and I will come discuss your punishment with you.”
He nodded, moving out of the room. You now pinched the bridge of your nose slightly before setting your sights on Daeron. “Where is your brother’s hair?”
“I shaved it off. We were going to hide out at an inn until the tourney was over.”
“And your brother ran off and you just stayed there?”
“He told me he was leaving. I lied to father, because I didn't want him to gwt angrier at me.”
“Apolgize to your father.”
“I am sorry for lying and worrying you father,” he told him, his voice filled with genuine honesty.
Maekar nodded slightly, looking at you. “Go to your chambers and if I find you drinking tonight I will pour water over your head.”
He nodded standing to his feet, you moved to him hugging him gently like you did the other two before sending him on your way. Then you looked to your eldest, “Have you done anything?” you now asked, a slight smile playing on your lips.
“No, but I would like to point out I was right,” he declared standing to his feet moving next to you.
“That you two would perish without her,” he kissed the side of your head before moving out.
Duncan was now terrified as your eyes turned to him, along with your husbands. “I do hope you do not make it a habit of striking royalty, Ser Duncan. It is a fast way to lose your head,” you started with.
He swallowed harshly, eyes widending, “Of course, Your Grace. I mean–” he continued to splutter over his words.
“Seven hells she knows what you mean shes not a fucking idiot,” Maekar hissed.
“Maekar,” you chided, causing him to grunt leaning back in his chair.
You stared at the hedge knight, your eyes scanning him causing him to squirm, “I would like you to swear your sword to Baelor. It will show your loyalty to House Targaryen and can be seen as a punishment,” you decided. Ducan took it gratefully doing as he was told before leaving, a servant be instructed to find the man a chamber and draw him a proper bath for the night.
Now it only left the three of you, “Honestly what the fuck would you two do without me? You’d probably both have let that foolhardy play out on your own.”
Both men stood making their way to you, as they trapped you between them, “There is a reason we both married you,” Baelor teased, moving to lean in, but you wormed way out of your hold.
“Not tonight. You two will be left to your hands for release, that is your punishment,” you called out before leaving the room, going to visit each of your children like you had stated earlier.
Maekar sighed leaning moving to his chair letting out a groan, “We are never traveling anywhere without her again,” he said, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“We are in agreement on that. Can you imagine what would have happened if she hadn't arrived?”
Maekar chuckled slightly, “I do not wish to find out.”
In the modern au, I imagine people went wild when ls was introduced to the public as being engaged to baelor.
Now...yk how people go wild on the Internet and love making edits of famous people???
How do you think modern akotsk would react to finding out people make thirstrap edits of ls? 🤣 or even just fan pages of her?
Oh, bet people went feral when you were introduced publicly as Baelor's fiancée.
Think about it: You're gorgeous, mysterious, from this powerful Northern family that's usually very private, significantly younger than Baelor (which of course sparked ENDLESS discourse). Within 24 hours of the engagement announcement there are already fan accounts, TikTok edits set to Beyoncé songs, Twitter threads analysing your fashion choices, Reddit forums debating whether this is a "gold digger situation" (it's not, you're wealthy as hell in your own right, but misogyny gonna misogyny ykyk?).
Baelor: Deeply conflicted. On one hand, he's possessive in his own controlled, mature way and does not love that thousands of strangers are making thirst trap edits of his fiancée. There's one particular edit set to "Partition" that makes him physically uncomfortable. On the other hand, he's a PR professional who understands this is actually good for the family image. You're liked, people are obsessed, it humanises the Targaryens in a completely new way, to a completely new gen. He tries to be mature about it. He really does, but then he sees another edit where someone slow-mo'd footage of you at a gala and added some absolutely unhinged caption and he's just... "Can people please stop objectifying my fiancée on the internet." Ultimately accepts this is the price of being public but definitely has your Instagram comments turned off.
Aerion: He's already obsessed with you, already systematically trying to break you and Baelor up, and now there are THOUSANDS of people online also obsessed with you? He's in a perpetual state of "that's MY thing to be weird about." He 100% has burner accounts. Multiple. He has a whole hidden folder of the edits saved but only really good ones. The ones that capture something about you that he recognises—the steel beneath the beauty, the way you look when you're annoyed, that particular smile that's more feral threat than warmth. But he's also violently jealous that other people get to openly thirst over you while he has to hide how he feels. These random people on the internet can post "i would let her ruin my life" with zero consequences, meanwhile he has to pretend he's just politely tolerating his uncle's fiancée at family dinners. He definitely makes comments to you. "Saw your little fan club is growing. There's one with 2 million views, very flattering." In that tone that's half-mocking, half-possessive, designed to get under your skin.
Maekar: Deeply uncomfortable with the whole thing and refuses to engage. Makes one gruff comment about "the dignity of the family name being reduced to internet spectacle" and then never discusses it again. If someone tries to show him an edit at a family dinner he just gets up and leaves the room 😭
Daeron: Finds the whole thing HILARIOUS and will drunkenly show you the edits at family events just to watch everyone squirm. "Have you seen this one? It's very well done actually. Excellent song choice. Really captures your whole 'terrifying but make it hot' energy." Baelor wants to murder him. Aerion is vibrating at speed that could shatter glass (he def breaks at least one glass so you can clean up his hand). You're contemplating faking your own death.
Valarr and Matarys: Valarr is deeply embarrassed that his dad's fiancée has become internet famous for being hot when he's already trying to make sense of the change in family dynamic. Tries very hard not to see any of the edits. Matarys accidentally stumbled upon one once and now avoids that entire side of the internet.
THE INTERNET ITSELF:
The discourse goes INSANE:
"She's a gold digger" (disproven when someone digs up that you're heir to a massive fortune)
"He's a creep for the age gap" (valid concerns tbh but also parasocial)
"They're actually perfect together look at how he looks at her" (accompanied by 50 photo compilations)
"I'm a simple lesbian I just think she's neat" (most valid take honestly)
The absolutely unhinged fans who have written RPF and made ship names and treat this like it's a TV show
Someone definitely made a "Get you a girl who can do both" meme with a photo of you leaving a corporate meeting looking terrifying and a photo of you at a gala looking ethereal. There's a viral TikTok of just you walking (how do you walk that intimidatingly?) that has 10 million views. Twitter has multiple accounts dedicated to tracking your fashion choices. One account just posts "Lady Stark wore [designer] today and looked stunning as always" with photo evidence.
THE DRAMA:
Someone makes a compilation of every time Aerion appears with you and/or beside you and Baelor with the caption "he always looks at her" and it gets 8 million views. Because he does always look like at you—intense, focused, hungry. And now thousands of people are picking up on the dynamic and making conspiracy theories about it.
"Anyone else think Baelor's nephew is lowkey obsessed with her or is it just me"
"The way he watches her is CONCERNING"
"Okay but the TENSION in that video someone explain"
Baelor's PR team is working overtime. Aerion is reading every single comment and having the time of his life for once because it's in the open now.
You were a baseline human of little renown compared to the others but adequately capable of defending yourself if need be.
And yet these skills, while nothing particularly noteworthy, were enough, you were enough; you were necessary, one cog of many all in the name of the Emperor. He protected and you served Him and the Imperium faithfully to the best of your ability.
Was it the Emperor's Will, then, that you were to be with the Blood Angels, the devoted sons of the Great Angel himself?
Was it the Emperor's Will, then, that despite your little renown, you enjoyed some proximity to the winged Primarch himself?
You saw it as an honor to be close to greatness for it was an honor... until it no longer was. Until you unknowingly became so much more.
You didn't see it then, did you? No, you didn't. You were too engrossed in your work, too busy being human to notice how everything around you had nearly stopped because he did. Because he, the Great Angel himself, took notice of you and hadn't stopped. His stare, always penetrating and paternal, was now inscrutable to his sons. It wasn't long before they picked up that this occurred around you. And only you. What was happening to their gene-sire?
Of course, Sanguinius made himself known to you (as if you weren't painfully aware of his presence already). He was genial (but he's like this to people most of the time, yes?) but you knew your role and tried not to let the attention get to your head. The conversations on your part were... pitifully awkward. You meant well. You really truly did but you kept your distance out of courtesy (and fear). That was a mistake.
You didn't see it then, did you? No, you didn't. You didn't see the face of an angel fallen, the dark shadow of his gaze, a look so... predatory and possessive it might have impressed the likes of even Kurze. You didn't see it but his sons did. And all became aware of your significance.
You didn't put two and two together when you noticed his sons kept a wide berth but were around always. Were they... were they watching you? They observed but they didn't. They loomed but were ghosts. They were present and not present all the same. Of course they were. Of course. They knew not to question their loving sire. They knew not to linger too long for fear of incurring the wrath of the Great Angel (he's glared stared at people for even mentioning you) and to keep tabs on you at all times. And it was all according to plan.
Said plans were made without your knowledge. Said plans were made to sequester you, to protect you from harm at least for Sanguinius' sake. And his sanity. His face became harsh with each passing day and the mask of the Great Angel became harder to wear.
You didn't put two and two together until it was too late, until at last, alone in your thoughts, did heaven descend unsuspectingly and embrace you tightly with beautiful wings and bright gold.
He wouldn't hurt you, he promised. He wouldn't hurt you, he'd keep you safe, away from harm. He'd keep you safe and you would be happy and content. With him. Sanguinius. The Emperor’s son.
You didn't see it then, did you? No, you didn't, not until you saw the earnest devotion... and the dark obsession that lay beneath, the mask of an angel fallen. And you knew then not to question nor reject the Great Angel.
Was it the Emperor's Will, then, that you of little renown had become one of the crown jewels of the Blood Angels and its Primarch? You didn't know and perhaps you were too scared to ponder it but it was enough. It had to be. Because just as the Emperor protected, you served and served you did diligently.
