Summary: King Rhaegar invited Jon to the capital. Rhaegar is excited to see him, but his son does not share the same sentiment, but Sansa and Arya talked him out of it.
Jon
When the king’s invitation reached Winterfell, Jon declared that he doesn’t want to go. Aunt Catelyn agreed, but Uncle Eddard tells them otherwise.
“Is it really wise to send him there?”
“We have no choice but to obey, he is the king,” he told Jon, the day when they received the letter. “And King Rhaegar is your father.”
“He’s not my father!” Jon yelled, startling the two adults. When realized what he had done, he mutter a quick apology before fleeing to the armory.
He spent his whole afternoon beating a straw dummy with his blunted sword, venting his own anger upon it.
He hated that man.
That man is not his father.
From what history will ever know, that man... his sire, kidnapped and raped his mother. There’s no love between them, and he’s a child born from rape.
Sometimes, Jon hated himself, too.
Lord Eddard, or Uncle Eddard will always be his father, second is his Uncle Benjen, who returned to the Wall a few days ago.
He is already content with his life in Winterfell, yet that man is persistent to interfere in his life.
He vehemently refused the king’s invitation until Arya and Sansa talked him out of it.
Arya treats him as an older brother, like how she would treat Robb and Theon. But Sansa on the other hand, treated him differently. They were close, but there’s still some distance between them.
Jon finally agreed to go south, because how could he refuse?
They both wanted to know more about King’s Landing and Queen Elia and her children, Princess Rhaenys and Prince Aegon. When it come to those three, Jon couldn’t help but to feel pity... and anger, not for them, but for the humiliation they were put through.
I guess it’s not so bad. Jon thought. The people loved the queen, her children, and the king’s siblings, but not the king himself.
Jon also thought of not just regaling them with stories, he also thought of bringing them souvenirs, on the way back home. Perhaps a dagger or an expensive silk.
ASOIAF AU ficlet: The sun will not set on me
Elia Martell gets her happy ending. Jaime does too. Elia x Jaime
Unbowed, unbent, unbroken, those were her family's words.
Those were the words her ancestors gave Aerys' when they thought a dragon could tame the sun. No fire burns hotter than the sun, not even dragonflame. The Targaryens learned that the hard way. It was time for their descendants to be reminded that Dorne was not like the other Kingdoms.
Our knees do not bend so easily.
"Was the letter sent?"
"It was."
"Thank you," She was embracing him. "Thank you," her voice was thick with relief. Elia looked up into the green eyes of Jaime Lannister and his warm smile made her heart flutter in a way that Rhaegar's never could.
Theirs was a chaste courtship. Unlike her husband, she had not strayed from their marriage bed despite the temptations that Jaime stirred within her these past few months. Or her own yearning to numb that cold ache of loneliness that nestled itself deep inside her.
She was not sure she could pick the exact moment when it happened.
Was it when Rhaenys cried out for Jaime instead of her father after a nightmare?
Or how he never hesitated to pick up a crying Aegon to soothe him back to sleep.
Or how he would chase a giggling Rhaenys in the godswood where he always looked to be having as much fun as her.
The young man whose head was filled with dreams of glory had been left behind in the war to become more nursemaid than knight. It would make most men bitter, but not him.
He had never complained. He had never withdrawn from them. Jaime Lannister was there whenever he could be. His presence was part pillar and part shield for her.
I would not be here without him.
Elia and Jaime had been abandoned together. They were trapped together. They were tormented by the Mad King together.
But soon we will triumph together.
*******
She had seen Lord Tywin sit upon the very seat she found herself in more times then she could count. Now, it was her who was siting on the Iron Throne with him standing below her.
"Your son has come to me and has asked to be removed from the kingsguard," It was a memory she found herself drawing strength from while she was perched atop this monstrous throne of melted swords. “He had one condition."
"Which is?"
"He will only resign from the kingsguard if he can take me as his wife," Elia delivered the news with a neutral look despite the warmth and happiness that bubbled up within. A font that had been overflowing in her chest these past few days.
It was true she was still a widow, who was expected to grieve for Rhaegar. Elia wore black out of duty not devotion. In her heart and mind she had buried Rhaegar long ago.
"It would be an honor to join our houses, Princess," He delicately observed. "However, it was said you were infertile. My apologies, Princess I mean no disrespect or insult."
"I am pleased to say that has been proven to be an unfound rumor, my lord." She allowed herself a polite smile when she added, "It has been confirmed by several maesters who serve some of the greatest lords in the realm that I am once more able to bear children."
She did not like the man below her, but Tywin Lannister would not rule the Westerlands forever. A son between Jaime and I will be the future Lord of the Rock as well as Aegon's half brother.
"I accept, princess."
You had no choice, but she smiled all the same.
Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire Queen Elia AU
Picture is made with Game of Thrones Scene Maker
Rhaegar dies at the Battle of the Trident, Lyanna at the Tower of Joy in Dorne, and everything follows the original storyline up until the Sack of King’s Landing, which doesn’t happen.
Elia musters up the courage to take control of the Red Keep. She has a guard delay Aerys’ message to let Tywin and his forces in and she protects everyone. With the help of the Sept, the remaining knights, and Jaime, she keeps Aerys locked in his room until he dies and Elia becomes Queen Regent. She calls back Rhaella, Viserys, and the newborn Daenerys to King’s Landing and helps to bring a golden age to Westeros, which historians call the Age of the Sun. She doesn’t take another king and forgives the North and the Starks, since it was just Rhaegar and Lyanna acting out. Robert, Tywin, and the other rebel forces are forced to bend the knee to the newly crowned Queen Elia, the Queen of the Sun (or the Sun Queen Elia for short).
(Her full title is Queen Elia, First of her Name, Queen of the Andals, the First Men, and Dorne, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.)
The storyline is the same afterwards, with Dany and Viserys going to Essos and finding the dragon eggs and renewing the Targaryen legacy. Elia retires the throne to Aegon when he is 18 and spends her time traveling between King’s Landing and her beloved Dorne, and Aegon becomes the King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm and a proud knight of Westeros. The people call him the Good King Aegon and the King of Dragons, with Dany known as the Queen and Mother of Dragons. Rhaenys spends her time traveling the land and meeting with the people, becoming known as the Beautiful Princess (later Queen) of the Sun, like her mother.
Ned’s nephew Jon/Jaehaerys (not Aegon) and his daughter Sansa are sent to King’s Landing as a resurrence that the North won’t rebel and are treated like family by the royal family. Rhaella dies peacefully with her family lovingly around her. Rhaegar is called the Foolish Prince and Lyanna the Love-Struck Maiden by following generations. Elia dies peacefully in Sunspear with her family around her.
Aegon, Rhaenys, and the other Targaryen children marry for love, but also choose their partners carefully so that the won’t be a repeat of Rhaegar’s actions. The siblings still respect their father, but believe he was foolish to chase after “salt and smoke.” Historians find a series of diaries and letters that were sent between Elia and her children, including Jon, Rhaella, Viserys, Dany, and even Sansa, which tells them of their personal lives and what transpired afterwards.
Elia was never mean to Jon and treated him like a son, letting him and Sansa go to Winterfell to spend time with their family and to keep the North happy. To keep the Lannisters sedated, Elia has Cersei marry her brother Oberyn, since her marrying Robert could lead to another rebellion. Cersei is married in the Sept in King’s Landing and moves to Sunspear with Oberyn, Ellaria, and the Sand Sisters. She gives Oberyn three children, Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen. Jaime is returned to his father at Casterly Rock, and Tyrion becomes Elia’s Right Hand and later Aegon’s, becoming known as Tyrion the Clever.
I had this idea since I made the picture above (and because I was reading GoT fanfiction where Elia lives). That’s all I got for now. Hope you enjoyed!
Elia & Lyanna survive the Rebellion AU
After Rhaenys birth, Elia can’t bear another child, so when Rhaegar falls for Lyanna, Elia encourages him to take her as a second wife. After Rhaegar is killed, Elia convinces Ser Barristan and Jamie to help her smuggle Rhaenys to Dragonstone. During the sack of the city, Elia manages to flee under disguise and goes to the Tower of joy where she knows Lyanna is pregnant and hidden. Elia arrives before the birth and due to her assistance, both Lyanna and Jon live. They all leave the tower to seek refuge under Elia’s brothers before Ned’s party arrives.
When Elia, Lyanna, Jon and the kingsguards arrive at Sunspear, they find out about the Targaryen navy and the death of Queen Rhaella, so Elia fears for Rhaenys, who hasn’t been found yet. Ser Arthur and Prince Oberyn sail to Dragonstone and after it to Essos, trying to find out Rhaenys and Viserys. Elia, Lyanna and Jon are hidden somewhere in Dorne to protect them, overseen by the remaining kingsguards.
Time begins to stretch on without Arthur and Oberyn finding out Rhaenys, so Elia tries to accept the loss by devoting herself to Lyanna and Jon. Elia falls for Lyanna, but even Lyanna does love her, she isn’t in love with her.
Since Ned didn’t reach the tower of Joy in time, he didn’t know what happened to Lyanna and he keeps looking for her through Westeros, while Robert refuses to marry anyone else before they find out what happened to her. Ned gave up after a few years, trying to accept she is dead.
It isn’t after Willem Darry’s death that Arthur and Oberyn found Rhaenys, Viserys and Daenerys and they smuggled them to Elia and Lyanna’s hideout in Dorne. But by then, Rhaenys is about 8 years old and doesn’t remember too much from before Essos, including her own mother.
A few years after, Varys gets a mysterious tip-off warning him that the Martells may be harbouring the remaining Targaryens somewhere in Dorne. He decides to send Jorah Mormont -his spy- to investigate the matter. But when Jorah finally finds out the truth in Dorne, his loyalties are tested and the game for the Iron throne starts once again.
elia headcanon for prompt 3. aegon and rhaenys were taken to dorne where they would be raised as loyal subjects. elia was 27 years old when she was crowned queen. she didn't care that robert was mourning lyanna by drinking and sleeping around because she felt lucky she wasn't murdered. the first child they had a son two years later. two years after that elia gave birth to another son. her final child was a girl. the pregnancy was unexpected. she looked just like rhaenys

Summary: King Rhaegar invited his son, Jon, to celebrate Prince Aegon's nameday.
Daeron
A letter arrived this morning that Prince Jon left Winterfell for King’s Landing to celebrate his half-brother’s, Prince Aegon’s 13th nameday.
His father called him prince and gave him the name “Wolffyre”, despite the Septon’s protest, but the boy vehemently denied his supposed title and birthright and named himself “Snow”, much to the king’s chagrin.
The king’s siblings, however, take pleasure in his sour mood.
Rhaegar’s younger siblings, and even Queen Elia did not blame the boy. According to the rumors, Jonnel already had a bad impression on the Targaryens and he did not want to be involved with the Southern court, or even attend to their celebrations, but he knows the king shouldn’t be denied. The king’s words are absolute.
The carriage with a flapping banner of a grey wolf racing across a field of white, arrived at the capital before noon. Inside the carriage is Lord Eddard, his son and heir Robb, and Jonnel.
Upon seeing Jonnel Snow, Daeron and his siblings straightened suddenly, with a look of shock crossing their features. Indeed, the rumors are true.
Jonnel, or Jon, does not have any “fire and blood” on him, he’s all “winter is coming”.
Much better.
Rhaegar, who’s at loss for words, muttered “Lyanna”, much to the boy’s displeasure.
After a brief moment, Jonnel bowed and finally speak, in his cold, monotonous voice. “Greetings, Your Grace.”
He called King Rhaegar, Your Grace not father. The boy clearly didn’t want to acknowledge the king as his father.
King Rhaegar is startled of his son’s cold and cautious demeanor, but Daeron and Shaena, could see right through him. He considers himself a wolf trapped in a dragon’s den. And to him, the dragon is a symbol of evil.
Daeron cannot blame the boy. After all, it was his family who started this damned rebellion which claimed thousands of lives, including the boy’s mother.
Despite the uneasy atmosphere between the dragons and the wolves, Queen Elia smiled warmly and greeted the boy. And upon meeting the Dornish queen, some tension faded from the boy’s frame.
Later, Daeron and Shaena planned to buy Elia a puppy or an expensive silk as a thank you gift.
If anyone’s interested I posted ‘The Sun will not set on me’ on AO3.
It is the complete version since what I posted on here a few months ago was trimmed down some to make it a ficlet under 1,000 words while what I put up on Archive is just under 3,000 words.
