Their relationship makes me sick. I'll never get over the fact that Alicent agreed to give up Aegon's life.

the moth and the dragon

Turning, Rhaenyra caught sight of a head of straight, smoky brown hair, too ashen to be black, and worn in two braids that looped around her ears to be tucked into a longer plait down her back. The woman who spoke was clearly young, and she was diminutive; shorter than Rhaenyra by a fair bit—shorter than Alicent and even Laena. There was a soft regalness to her profile, though her darting eyes belied her nervousness. The guards glanced at one another, straightening as they did, their voices coming out at once, stuttering and stupid as they spoke.  “My lady.” “Lady Evaine.” Evaine. Rhaenyra found she liked the sound of it.

personally i'm hoping rhaenyra's collar makes a comeback but i'm not holding my breath

i don’t really because i think the relationship has changed - a lot of people are attached to the daemyra relationship from the first half of s1 and although it is special to me the real appeal of the ship and why i am obsessed with it is the fact it is lifelong and it does shift and grow from the starting dynamic of much older man and younger woman (her being an adult and more politically powerful than him when they marry, and then becoming queen, DOES alter their dynamic). rhaenyra is no longer as entirely subject to the power that part of daemon wished to impose by this feminizing, flirtatious gift, the ways in which she remains so have been internalized by both of them (uncle’s gift of a necklace -> husband choking her -> jaehaerys’ decapitation and its connection to rhaenyra’s youth in his harrenhal visions -> daemon’s hallucination of decapitating her), the fact that the necklace was a substitute for his sword and masculine power which she could not possess/only access in the attenuated form of a necklace made from the same material as said sword is being worked out in rhaenyra’s s2 plotline, daemon has accepted in 2.08 that another and stronger part of him wishes to submit to rhaenyra and be bound by her, etc. it would not really make any sense for her to wear it and both shippers and ship dislikers’ insistence that the relationship is frozen in amber when she was a teenager or it would be better if it was is frustrating to me.

…however if it showed up to be explicitly like a bdsm thing/for sex roleplay purposes i wouldn’t say no. they could have fun playing with the anxieties here…i am attached to the idea of rhaenyra being attached to the necklace and what it represents about daemon’s emotional power over her and the ways she both needs it and struggles with it etc. but i just would not want to see her wearing it without commentary, and don’t think she will, because the show does depict the relationship transforming.

Uh-oh… The kids have finally figured out why Rhaenyra’s been pregnant practically her entire marriage to Daemon

His sun-warmed skin, now grey and waxen, remained still and lifeless. Not even the gargoyles perched with the ravens along the roof of the Hall of a Hundred Hearths were so still and lifeless.

Sobs caught in her throat like moths in a spiderweb and she shut her eyes against the vision, tears breaking from her and spattering upon his face like spring storms. Abby cupped his face in her hands and lowered herself, breathing in the meager whisper of his soul.

“Mo réalta geal,” she whispered, breath puffing against his pale, plush mouth like she could breath his soul back into him, the precious thing he’d given her to keep her warm. Or, more than like, her own spirit, snaking through herself to fill his gaps and spaces where he had grown hollow. “My bright star… please don’t leave me. I cannot live without you. I love you too much to let you go.”

She sealed her vow with a kiss, mouth fitting against his perfectly, the gods making them to fit in each other’s gaps and spaces. She kissed him as deeply as she wished she could have in front of the realm, but nerves and shyness had drawn her back. Abby kissed him with all the breath in her body, all the warmth she held, with all the longing and ache.
