Is there a snippet for time travel lucemond causing unimaginable chaos ??
For you, darling? Of course. This isn't necessarily connected to the original time travel one I was talking about, but we get a good dose of Lucerys and Aemond's sheer belligerent attitude towards time travel.
The throne room reflected differently, the refurbishments made by his brother's second wife warping how the sun trickled into the vast hall; meaning that when he saw the strange glint appear just beyond where Vaemond fucking Velaryon stood tarnishing Daemon's wife and sons, he'd ignored it.
But the glimmer grew, brightening, forming sigils he half-recognised from the books on Old Valyria he used to ravenously consume, and Daemon heard the gasps and shocked whispering break out, he realised it was much more than a simple trick of the light.
Rhaenyra took a quick step back from the strange phenomenon, ushering the children with her so that they were pinned protectively between Daemon and her. She appeared pale-faced, a furrow slipping through her ironclad control, but all eyes were focussed on the glowing white circle that was blazing before the throne.
More people scrambled back, Vaemond practically tripping over his own feet to put more distance between himself and whatever the fuck was happening in front of them. Daemon spared a moment to be concerned for Viserys, but through the brilliant light he caught sight of the kingsguard rapidly approaching his brother.
There was a sharp whistling now, and a strong gust of wind started to tug them towards the glowing circle hovering two metres above the ground. Daemon tightened his grip around Dark Sister, his boots slipping against the stone, and he thrust his other arm out to barricade his family from whatever force was at work.
And then, just as the screams began to spill out of people, everything came to an end. The wind stopped, the sigils flashed, and something dropped out from the white circle just before it vanished completely.
The silence was loud in the aftermath and Daemon, his mind already sharpening at this new threat, stepped forward, slipping just in front of Rhaenyra so that anything that tried to reach her would meet his blade first.
He stared down at the two figures, eyes jumping between them, cataloguing everything he could see - and his fingers twitched around his pommel, something close to confusion darting through him.
One figure - young, dark haired and pale - let out a truly impressive groan and rolled onto his front. He haphazardly flapped an arm out, ripping his tangled cloak free from where it was trapped, and slowly pushed himself up.
The moment his head lifted, Daemon sucked in a startled breath because -
Because that was Lucerys.
A hand gripped his arm, fingers digging into the thick doublet. Daemon didn't even have to look to know it was Rhaenyra.
She, too, was staring at this other Lucerys.
He was...older, Daemon noted almost immediately. His features harder, the last traces of innocence and boyhood striped back, and there was a thin scar along the hinge of his jaw that stretched up to the arch of his cheek.
His eyes were different as well - a soldier's gaze, harsh and calculating for all that he seemed dazed.
But when those brown eyes fell on Daemon and Rhaenyra, a fierce joy flooded them. A rush of affection that was all too familiar - and Daemon knew in that moment that no matter how impossible it was, this was their son.
"Muña," the young man said, his eyes on Rhaenyra, before they drifted to Daemon. "Kepa." Even with a deeper voice, the way Valyrian rolled off his tongue was the same.
"Luke?" Rhaenyra whispered out, her tone wonderous and confused as it carried out across the spellbound throne room.
A full, delighted grin overtook Lucerys. "It worked," he laughed breathlessly. "Fuck me, it actually worked." And then, before any of them could more than blink at that crude statement, he turned his gaze to his companion who was still laying pitifully on the ground.
"Oi," he called, frowning, his foot shooting out to lightly kick the other in the leg. "Get up."
His companion slowly pushed himself up, and Daemon forced his eyes to move from this older version of his son to finally register the presence of the second person.
He knew this one too, he realised.
Aemond - aged as well, and looking particularly dishevelled - shot a sour look at Lucerys, but it was oddly tame for what Daemon had come to expect from his unstable nephew.
"This is, without a doubt, the most foolish idea you've ever had," Aemond snapped, stumbling to his feet. Lucerys stood as well, brushing himself off and casting a swift, assessing look at his uncle. It was a practiced glance that spoke of intimate knowledge of another’s mannerism enough to know when something was wrong, and an inkling prickled at the back of Daemon’s thoughts.
“Maybe I am a fool,” Lucerys replied easily, giving his uncle a coy smile. “But what does that make you, then?”
"Mentally deficient," Aemond muttered, and then, to the muted surprise of everyone who knew of Viserys' second son, he stepped close to Lucerys. The move was easy, almost unconscious, but Aemond inserted himself into his nephew's space like he belonged there. As if he had the right to take such liberties - and Lucerys didn't protest.
Daemon didn't like that at all.
"What is this?" It was Vaemond who demanded an answer, speaking out of turn once more and that merely reminded Daemon that he had blood to spill.
But before he could draw Dark Sister, this older Lucerys and Aemond turned as one to look at the blustering Lord. Lucerys squinted, as if he didn't recognise the man, and Aemond cocked his head like a hunting dog scenting a rabbit.
Or a dragon about to bare its teeth.
"Well, we know when we are," Aemond remarked, his one eye dragging over Vaemond critically as he shifted slightly forward, shielding Lucerys partially from view.
A mean smirk flitted across his face. "Lord Vaemond," he greeted with a lick of dark amusement in his voice, "I'd almost forgotten what you looked like with your head in one piece."
Behind him, Lucerys snickered.
