my last post flopped so i feel like a lonely ugly chud, so if nobody sees this i'm going to contemplate offing myself.

TWs for this chapter: gratuitous descriptions of violence, gore

aegara is seriously going through some stuff, someone send her a hug (or a nuclear weapon, preferably) she really needs it. this chapter makes it so, so much worse.

"Witchfire" - Chapter Twelve: "The Seven Flames of Tyrosh"

[socialist-aemond]

officially out of retirement, so here's chapter 11 of witchfire since i've been mercifully blessed with graduation (until september :-()

it's killing me not to write anything spoiler-ish but there's some super fragile relationship building happening between dunk and aegara. that moment when ur vicariously falling in love am i right (or terror, whatever fits best)

"Witchfire" - Chapter Eleven: "Nature's First Green is Gold"

[socialist-aemond]

Are you alive

hello! no

i am like a month away from graduating which means my exams legit just started and i am one hair follicle away from showing signs of female pattern baldness

if this is in regards to my fic or tumblr, the former will be updated as soon as i can (next few chapters planned out fully, just not written unfortunately)

but in the meanwhile take my tumblr page as my 'in memoriam' please

[socialist-aemond]

maekar after the trial of seven furiously googling post-birth abortions every time he sees his bitchass son (he was meant to be the normal one)

[socialist-aemond]

i wouldn't be able to draw a circle if hitler held me at gunpoint so i had to improvise with this fanart

maekar and his freaky cannibal (technically) daughter against the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️ let's behead people with papa ❤️❤️❤️❤️

(ignore how many tags there are, i'm an attention whore)

"witchfire" on ao3 - ser duncan the tall x targ!oc

[socialist-aemond]

generational trauma of clouts on the ear are really hitting their mark .. lil baby dunk returning to the scene makes me feel so maternal over him actually kill me

half of this chapter was written in a daze of sleep poisoning, but it is my finest work i would say - also a special thank you to the comments left on this fic, seriously this fandom is so supportive it brings me to tears :,)

(also peep dany making a surprise appearance at the beginning of the chapter)

"Witchfire" - Chapter Ten: "Red Scales, Land and Sky"

[socialist-aemond]

wait if the east is full of blackfyre sympathisers why did they send aeg there?? maekar definitely didn’t want to and is scared for her so why did he send her there?? sorry

hi, thanks for asking !!

i mentioned this issue in an earlier chapter, when aegara first arrived in tyrosh. since kiera is in westeros until the time she's of age to wed valarr, aegara is staying with the archon as a sort of 'peace deal' - as in, if anything happens with the blackfyres or the tyroshi and the targaryens decide to use kiera as leverage, aegara is there to ensure this can't happen

kind of a tit for tat thing

additionally, having good relations with the archon by 'fostering' a daughter is more beneficial to the targaryens since bittersteel is less likely to make an alliance with him (which would be really bad for them, since tyrosh is so close to westeros) rendering him unable to use their force against daeron, etc. etc.

also, this isn't explicit in the fic yet, but aegara is an unreliable narrator, as much as she is a teenage girl who tends to exaggerate things. it isn't as "full" with blackfyre supporters as she believes it to be, but they're definitely enough of an issue to make her worried. other things will be addressed in later chapters, i just don't want to write spoilers!!

[socialist-aemond]

holy dunk foreshadowing

i wish tumblr had an audio feature because that one tiktok audio is honestly the only thought i had writing this scene. like yes, aegara, you ARE yo daddy's son

i write chapters like some people sniff coke, i can't help myself. please offer a poor fic writer some comments, i genuinely weep every time i read them :,) every inch of support has given me life. the power of ao3 comments is unfounded

... THE MAESTERS DID IT !!!! THEY DID IT ALL !!!!! (that's all i'm saying about this chapter)

"Witchfire" - Chapter Nine: "Shade of the Evening"

[socialist-aemond]

i have no social skills excuse my awkwardness when posting on tumblr plsplsplspls :,( aegara is my baby and she is one step away from wearing her own skin as a cloak the longer she's kept in the east

.. FINALLY got this chapter out because this last week has been so sucky

the maesters sent the men after her trust me, it was the maesters all along (and bloodraven, but he's always there when nobody wants him to be)

"Witchfire" - Chapter Eight: "Spring Come Again"

[socialist-aemond]

everyone's fave ragebaiter bloodraven has returned to make poor maekar's hair even whiter than before, that creepy little dude who shows up to the function even though nobody invited him

and, let's be real, maekar targaryen suffers from chronic migraines because of his children are so intent on killing one another for some reason. get this man an ibuprofen, please

"Witchfire" - Chapter Seven: "Bitter Steel"

[socialist-aemond]

chapter six is out ! long wait, but i loved writing this chapter more than i thought i would -- can't stress how much fun angsty 15 year old dunk is to write. rhaenyra (again) haunting the narrative, and her fuckass ugly brother but we all gotta have that One Guy

"Witchfire" - Chapter Six: "The Honour of a Knight"

[socialist-aemond]

blackfyre supporters and magic prophecies and super duper frustrated angry princesses return !!! 6k word chapter today, so glad to have my weekends back :,)

or: the chapter where aegara meets preachers and maegi and finds out the extent of blackfyre support in tyrosh. she is not happy. at all.

"Witchfire" - Chapter Five: "Blisters of Soul and Hand"

[socialist-aemond]

new chapter out - it holds a special place in my heart i can't describe the importance of :,) thank you for the comments left - i love reading them!

aegara contesting aerion for the most unhinged of the maekarlings is possibly my favourite feature of this fic

"Witchfire": Chapter Four, "One for Sorrow"

[socialist-aemond]

excerpts from chapter 4 - for some reason the motif of light has to be one of my favourites of all time (this is my english lit revision for tomorrow's exam lol)

"Witchfire" - Chapter Four: "On Further Horizons, The Sea"

i'd like to thank the few comments left on here, they encourage me on every fic i write whenever i see them. ao3 commenters are the best people ever, and i hope they know how amazing they are <3

[socialist-aemond]

lil excerpt from chapter two - lil moody 14 year old dunk who dreams of being in the kingsguard is so dear to me

"Witchfire" - Chapter Two: "The Rising Sun"

thank you so much to those who commented and left kudos, you're my life and the reason i punched out this chapter midway through exam revision <3

[socialist-aemond]

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

The rites of Old Valyria are scripture in her blood: House Targaryen endure as the legacy of the dragonlords of old, and ‘tis not the right of a princess to refuse better word.

Aegara Targaryen has grown fond of the blistering heat of the east, content in the peace that finds her not at Summerhall with the burden of the world on her shoulders. Following several attempts to her life, a hail for her return to her family weighs largely unwanted.

The presence of a particularly persistent hedge knight wasn’t at all expected, either.

-

getting back into the asoiaf scene after too long spent in a slump. skipped revision to write this, a whole 11k words for the prologue </3

dunk is my lil baby though and i weep to write this

edit 21/02/26: since tumblr won't let me post links properly, prologue & chapter one are now out <3
