mind the tags/warnings, please! this is arguably the darkest thing in my drafts
Aerion x afab!Reader x Daeron, + Daerion, dead dove, modern au fic idea dump
c/w: serial killer(s?), murder, kidnapping, captivity, noncon, dubcon, implied torture, sibling incest, drugging, emotional/psychological torture, aerion and daeron getting psychosexual about their mummy issues, victim!reader, complicit!daeron, aerion is a sadistic rapist and serial killer in this so. himself I guess?
aerion who kidnaps pretty things and keeps them captive to play with until he gets bored and kills them. it starts out smaller than that, of course, in high school -- girlfriends he abuses, drugs, rapes, shuts up with threats or money or by targaryen reputation alone. it doesn't go as far as murder until later.
he uses a little cabin on the grounds of summerhall, deep into the woodlands, that used to be dyanna's haven. nobody but he and daeron have visited it in more than a decade, and it used to be the place she went when six kids and a husband who was obsessed with her became too much.
daeron who knows about it because aerion drugged and raped his first college gf when they visited after first year of uni/college. daeron passes out drunk, wakes up to aerion fucking her while she whimpers and cries. vomits, demands to know what the fuck aerion is doing, realises that aerion is staring him in the eye when he finishes, feral and grinning
the morning after she'd been confused, couldn't really remember much, did they drink that much? daeron let her believe they had, because in the moment it had been easier than telling her that she had been drugged. it was kinder that she believed they'd had sex while blackout drunk (wouldn't be the first time) than to tell her that she'd been raped by his little brother. aerion was a monster, but he was right about that much.
daeron who aerion continually manipulates into playing caretaker because he enjoys watching daeron get attached and wracked with guilt and grief but ultimately being unable to betray him.
he thinks it's amusing how pathetic and cliche it is that daeron keeps trying to protect/help/save them (he knows daeron sees their mother in them, that he's subconsciously trying to heal the wound of her suffering and death). he's pretty blind to how it's equally cliche that he's recreating dyanna's death* with a version of their mother that doesn't die until he decides they do, who can't leave without his permission, who he can vent all his anger and hurt at the abandonment onto.
he tells himself he chooses people that resemble her -- not always the look, but the mannerisms, the pattern of speech, the personality -- because it makes it impossible for daeron to resist, but... well. he lost her too.
daeron who tries to tend the wounds, bring food, and not get attached because he knows what the outcome is going to be. but he can't help himself. can't help himself because he is genuinely appalled by aerion's sadism, but also because it feels so good to be the brightest thing in someone's world. the softest, kindest, best thing. the thing that they cling to and crave.
aerion offering daeron a choice, sometimes, on days where his toys are a little too broken for rough handling -- on days where daeron tries to push back. you or them. you can get on your knees for me, you can bend over for me, you can take the pain instead. which will it be? well, beg for it, if you really mean it. beg to suck my cock, daeron. beg for me to fuck you. beg for me to hurt you. do you think they'll still see a saviour when they've seen you cum on my cock? or will they see you for what you are.
daeron knows how fucked up it is when they start to want him to touch them, to fuck them, just so they feel like they have a choice, have control of something in aerion's tiny, suffocating nightmare world. It always starts out as their attempt to win him over, to convince him to help them, but eventually that hope gutters out and they just want something that doesn't (only) hurt.
reader who's the latest victim. who might have a chance to survive because daeron's been circling the drain and aerion is worried he'll break if he doesn't give him something to hold on for. you shouldn't get your hopes up, though.
death would be kinder.
(* dyanna's death was due to illness, but aerion is creating a prolonged death scenario that he can control)
Aerion calling Daeron "Mama" when they fuck. It's both because he wants Daeron to be his mama and because he likes how Daeron blushes and gets embarrassed by it
Artist Daeron has a secret sketch book full of drawings of Aerion, some innocent, some very not. Hes ashamed of it but his brother is his muse, too beautiful for him to stop himself from capturing. He’s terrified when Aerion finds it, but gets a very different reaction than he expected
"Daenys I Targaryen" by @wweskywalker for my fanfiction "Truly the Mother of Dragons" 🔥 Thank you again for your amazing work on these commissions!

The youngest of the triplets and second born daughter of Daenerys I Targaryen was the dark haired Daenys. Save a single lock of silver, her hair was that of her father - a dark and curly mane that grew longer as she grew older. But her resemblance to her mother was undeniably apparent to all who saw her - a dark haired Daenerys born again, the same violet eyes, the same shaped face, even her voice sounded like that of the Dragon Queen.
Daenys was named for Daenys the Dreamer, of House Targaryen of Valyria of Old, and like her name sake, was a Dreamer - she was said to live halfway between this world and the that of the Gods, and walk amongst visions like like a shepherd does their flock. She was bound to the she-dragon, Dreamflame - a stunning violet and shining copper beast that had been Daenys' companion since her own birth. Daenys, while bound to Dreamflame, was also unusually close with all the hatchlings - even Daenyxes and Nightweaver, who were to be bound to Rhaenyra and Aemon, would respond to her calls and commands. She would speak and sing to the dragons, and it was said hers was the fairest voice in an age or more - but whether this was due to her vocal ability, or the way her ethereal tones themselves that calmed the dragons and men alike, was unclear to those who heard tell of it elsewhere. She would come to hatch more than a score of dragon eggs in her lifetime, and would be credited with more discoveries of secrets lost from House Targaryen than any has or likely will be again - whether due to long lost discoveries on Dragonstone, her dragon dreams, or possibly, as some small folk guessed, told to her by the dragons themselves.
Daenys was usually adorned in intricately stitched violet gowns, or sometimes white ones, and wore jewelry of bright silver with amethysts, sapphires, and pearls. She had several rings she always wore, including the silver and pearl ring of her late mother, and another with stones matching the Valyrian hatchlings eggs that was gifted to her by the Red Priestess, Mekarie.
Daenys would only train with a bow, seeking the truest aim she could muster, and while avoiding violence at the same time. She openly detested hand-to-hand combat and training, but she would eventually carry a hidden dagger to quell the concerns of her siblings, who worried about her peaceful nature making her a target for their foes. A bejeweled and newly forged Valyrian steel blade designed by Rhaenyra and Aemon, it was crafted by one of two living smiths in the world still able to forge it. They gifted it to her on her 12th name day, and she named it "Dragon's Claw".
