This is Menelaus. And Helen.

SUMMARY:
“Don’t sell yourself short. The next time a man kidnaps me, foreigner, I’ll be counting on you to fight for me.”
“I’ll gather up the troupes then. I’ll be on the front lines.”
Or; In a chance encounter, the newly exiled Menelaus and Princess Helen meet for the first time.
(My first work for the Homeric / Epic Cycle. A big thank you again to @katerinaaqu for beta reading! Go follow them for quality content!)
Would anyone want a series of novels surrounding pre trojan lives of Helen, Penelope, and Clytemnestra?
I have at least one trilogy (each book focusing on one of them probably, might do multi pov if that doesn't flow right) outlined surrounding their ten years through the first year or so of their marriages.
Anyone interested?
@helenaus : you're not hurt, are you?
"No. No, I'm not hurt." Shireen shakes her head, gaze turning from the queen to the dragons. She had not expected them to land so closely to where she had been sitting, but she can feel Viserion's hot breath as he observes her, and Drogon behind Daenerys. Rhaegal still circles above them, not ready to touch the ground again. Shireen picks at the greyscale on her wrist, lost for a moment in thought before her gaze returns to the queen.
"This was my favorite spot to go to think, when I lived here," she admits. "Far away from the castle and whatever prying eyes my mother was afraid of spotting me. I did not realize the dragons rested out here, or I would've moved earlier." She brushes some of the dirt off of her dress, watching the dragons out of her peripheral. "They're very dedicated to remaining by your side. Do they not care for the dragon pit? I always found it a bit.... grim, but I'll admit I've spent plenty of time exploring down there."

How physically attracted they are to your muse
∞ / 10 - If he can't have Helaena, he doesn't want anyone.

∞ / 10 - Same thing. She's the only person he thinks of forming a family with.
How often they would like to have sex with yours.
Every day, all the time. But only if she wants to.
Where they would most likely have sex with yours
On his room, in a meadow if they went out flying and stopped to rest.

My princess, my queen, my love. Things like that.
Up to 3 kinks they would like to explore with yours ( with consent of course )
He's not much of a kinky guy and he thinks she not into it either. But he'd do anything she asks.
What sort of sex they’d prefer to have with yours ( slow & sensual, quickie, etc. )
Slow, passionate sex.
What type of relationship my muse would like to form with yours. ( typical couple, friends with benefits, etc. )
Long term, "lets get married and have 20 kids" kind of relationship.
@helenaus asked ❝ i can’t stop thinking about what we did ❞
He let a smile cross his face as he looked at at the twins playing, his attention focused solely on her beside him. "Neither can I," he admitted, fingers ghosting over her wrist, careful not to disrupt her embroidery. "It's been distracting, how often I think about it." It was just fortunate that he had spent nearly his whole life training and reflexes could carry him through the sparring for the most part.
@helenaus requested an audience with the prince !
" you are far more quiet than usual, " the young prince muses softly, the tip of his finger gently turning the worn page of an old book. lavender hue reads over the same sentence one, two, three times. it is in that moment that aemond breathes harshly through his nose before deciding that his attention would be better spent on helaena. though he takes it upon himself to speak once more before she has the chance to do so herself. " and yet it is as if i can hear the thoughts in your mind louder than my own. what is it that you're ruminating on today ? "
The Iron Throne cut into the palm of Rhaenyra's hand when she gripped one of its blackened swords. She scarcely felt it anymore. Blood had stained the steel often enough these past days. King's Landing was hers at last, yet victory sat uneasily upon her shoulders. The city had opened its gates, but not its heart. From where she sat, she could hear distant shouting from beyond the Red Keep's walls, the restless murmur of a people who had cheered one ruler yesterday and would cheer another tomorrow. @helenaus ft. alicent.
Her gaze settled upon Alicent. The queen dowager stood before the throne she had helped deny her for so many years. Rhaenyra studied her in silence for a moment. Age, grief, and fear had left their marks, though pride still held Alicent upright. It would have been easier if she looked broken. Easier if Rhaenyra could see only an enemy. "You promised Aegon would be here." Rhaenyra said at last. Her voice was steady, carrying through the hall without effort. "Yet here I sit, and your son has fled before me." She leaned back against the jagged throne. "Tell me, Alicent. Was it worth it? The years of plotting, the blood already spilled, the blood yet to come. Was any of it worth the crown you placed upon his head?"
