Love the idea of Daeron, Ormund's four children and his second wife being besties and bonding over their shared dislike/hatred towards Ormund, and because all of them are around the same age. And they all knew Lyonel and Samantha were having an affair. Everyone but Ormund

Bethany Hightower from Fire and Blood

WHERE is Ormund's Baddie Teenage Wife who is going to marry his son after he dies?!

In fact, where are ANY of his children? WHERE IS RHAENA'S FUTURE HUSBAND??

VISERYS I TARGARYEN AND HIS SIX WIVES

Based on the fic "Torment" by ciemai in Ao3, with an unhinged Dark Rhaenyra, and Viserys following Henry VIII's path by marrying different women.

Something I like about this story is the sense of poetic justice, and how every wife parallels the Queens of England married to Henry. Everyone in the art had a clue about their fate, what makes a difference, and how the People would see each one in the future. And clearly, Viserys being in the Middle, with his actions being around as his consequences.

The Queens in order (Spoiler)

Queen Aemma Arryn

Alicent Hightower

Laena Velaryon

Sabitha Vypren

will we see Bethany again in story?

Yes, but not for a while. Luce doesn’t really interact with Bethany during The Golds, so if Bethany appears in Compromise, it won’t be until Arc 3.

I have thought about how I want Bethany’s story to continue. She’s not going to be a main or POV character, but it would be interesting to see how her traumatic experience shapes her and affects her dealings with the Targs.

Perhaps the boldest letter [suggesting Aegon's new wife] came from the irrepressible Lady Samantha of Oldtown, who declared that her sister Sansara (of House Tarly) “is spirited and strong, and has read more books than half the maesters in the Citadel” whilst her good-sister Bethany (of House Hightower) was “very beautiful, with smooth soft skin and lustrous hair and the sweetest manner”, though also “lazy and somewhat stupid, truth be told, though some men seem to like that in a wife”. She concluded by suggesting that perhaps King Aegon should marry both of them, “one to rule beside him, as Queen Alysanne did King Jaehaerys, and one to bed and breed”. And in the event that both of them were “found wanting, for whatever obscure reason”, Lady Sam helpfully appended the names of thirty-one other nubile maidens from Houses Hightower, Redwyne, Tarly, Ambrose, Florent, Cobb, Costayne, Beesbury, Varner, and Grimm who might be suitable as queens. (Mushroom adds that her ladyship ended with a cheeky postscript that said, “I know some pretty boys as well, should His Grace be so inclined, but I fear they could not give him heirs”, but none of the other chronicles mention this affrontry, and her ladyship’s letter has been lost.)
