I will entertain any AU idea. I do not watch a lot of TV so some shows I might just not know enough about, but I’m willing to consider it.
Show Canon: Please note - Lastxdragon is an ASoIaF book-based Daenerys Stormborn portrayal. The books are the only Canon material source I acknowledge for Daenerys. As such, there are some deviations from the show material that come into play in my “CANON verse” for her.
*I’ll work with you on some things, but this list is non-negotiable.*
1. Viserion, Rhaegal and Drogon are all still alive. Viserion was almost fatally injured by the NK, but survived and has been on Dragonstone recovering.
2. Only half her armies were lost in the NK Battle. She continues to have a combined army of 50,000. Of that number, 5,000 took serious injury and were sent ahead by ship to Dragonstone to recover.
3. Post NK Battle, experiencing the betrayals and gaslighting in Winterfell after sacrificing everything for them, Daenerys has an epiphany. Her ‘destiny’ had been to save Westeros and she had, not in the way she’d thought, but by stopping the Night King. She dismisses Tyrion and Varys.
4. Her fleet takes her armies to Dragonstone, bypassing King’s Landing, to collect the rest of her people, then they set off for Meereen where Daenerys armies free the remaining slaves in Essos and new trades/councils are set up. Above all, Daenerys is a rescuer. Volantis is taken over and Daenerys recreates Valyria (minus the slavery), finding new dragon eggs and hatching them.
5. Retiring - Dany takes her closest people and dragons to an island off YiTi.
If your character died in that joke of a TV show, they aren’t dead in Daenerys’ canon verse.
Jon Snow - Daenerys was only ever friendly. Any potential romance has to come from chemistry.
Canon Future: Dany wants to make changes to Westeros and Essos, primarily ending all slavery, making women equal to men (much like Dorne), etc. Will default to starting after the battle for the dawn (i.e., Night King is dead) and she has taken the Iron Throne/or newly arrived to Dragonstone unless otherwise plotted.
Westeros +10,000 years: Society is beyond modern life. Flying cars, high tech, very peaceful, war is unknown. They’ve forgotten the myths so when the dead begin rising in the far North (a nuclear wasteland since the last NK was only destroyed after nearly losing everyone), the scientists believe the only way to combat the NK is to clone someone from legend with Valyrian blood/magic. Daenerys (and Drogon) is ‘resurrected’ into this world to save them.
Immortal: After killing the Night King, his immortality magic was absorbed by her blood and Daenerys doesn’t age or die. The Dothraki remain with her, as do her dragons, but she takes the Unsullied and Missandei back to Essos where they continue to free slaves, finally taking over Volantis and recreating Valyria. More dragon eggs are found and hatched.
There must always be a Night King: After killing the Night King, the Children’s curse transfers to Daenerys and she must control the dead so they do not hurt anyone. The Dothraki remain with her, as do her dragons, but she sends the Unsullied and Missandei back to Essos where they continue to free slaves.
Unless otherwise noted, Daenerys is CEO of Targaryen Enterprises, a very successful, high-tech industry leader. Her family died in a plane crash that was sabotage orchestrated by her cousin, Robert Baratheon.
Modern: Her bodyguards are Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal - elite security. Daenerys has a gift for tech, programming and design. She’s very dedicated to protecting the company, while doing a lot of outreach.This verse is best suited for superhero, bodyguard, or guardian angel scenarios.
Rockstar: After losing her family, she took Rhaegar’s place in the mega rock band, the Red Dragons, as their bassist and backup singer. Missandei runs the company while Dany writes music and tours with the band. She’s VERY wild in this verse, drinks too much, drives fast cars, skydives - Dany’s on a path of self-destruction and hard to get emotionally close to.
MARVEL: Daenerys is an Inhuman (fire-based powers) from a reality where she’s been host to the Aether for 5 years. In her reality, the Aether chose her, Dark World never happened, Thanos never got the Aether - he was stopped by the Avengers + Dr. Strange/Dany. When Thanos wins in our reality, the effect on other realities rippleds and Dany feels it. She’s sent to this reality to find out what happened. She cannot ‘undo’ what Thanos’ Aether has done*, but she will help the Avengers defeat him. (*It’s like an etch-a-sketch. Our reality was a very specific scribble. Thanos shook the pad. Now our reality is a very different scribble. Daenerys didn’t know what that first scribble was - hence, she can’t use her Aether to remake it.)
Superhero: The grief of losing her brother forced something dark and dangerous up. More precisely, Dany can generate fire from herself, control any existing fire sources, and shield herself. What Dany can’t control are her Visions (future, past, alternate timelines).
The Walking Dead (TWD): Daenerys is the only survivor of her family. Aerys Targaryen ran a massive tech company and got into a survivalist lifestyle after a series of hostile takeover attempts raised his paranoia to phobic levels, building an off-the-grid cabin in the mountains of Colorado. While in the sprawling city, the family was overrun and killed by Walkers. After years living alone, Dany is making her way across the country to Pensacola to get to the family yacht. She’s proficient with a bow and wary of ‘communities’.
Witch: As a witch, Dany comes from a powerful family in the Sabrina universe (a different coven/city) and gets her powers from Satan. Her powers are based in fire and blood. Will entertain AHS: Apocalypse crossovers where Dany is sent by Satan to help Michael.
Angel/Fallen Angel/Guardian Angel/Vampire: These versions of Daenerys do not have a timeline or particular fandom.
Altered Carbon: Daenerys is a forgotten Envoy, one of the first three and to join Quellcrist Falconer in the initial stages of Quell’s crusade, before the full concept of training had been realized. The youngest member of a ruling Protectorate family, Dany went into hiding with Quell to get away from her father’s abuse and madness. There she learned the basic Envoy newborn concepts and trained until being sent back to her family under deep cover, reporting back to Quell. As such, only Quellcrist knew of Daenerys’ true loyalty, a secret that died with the Envoy leader. After a malfunction in the stream transfer claimed her family, Daenerys continued to affect changes from her position as a top Meth. When Laurens Bancroft brags of having the ‘last Envoy’, Daenerys is stunned to learn she’s not alone, but also cautious, reaching out to Takeshi.
Pacific Rim: Dany is a Jaeger pilot. Very mechanically adept.
Harry Potter: Daenerys graduated from Hogwarts (and had defended it during the war). She was a Gryffindor, but her family had been split, Slytherin and Gryffindor, until their deaths at the hands of Death Eaters. She has an affinity with dangerous animals and specialized in their care, earning a place as a junior Dragon Keeper. Willing to adjust to any HP timeline.
Star Wars: Daenerys is a strong force sensitive. Her parents and oldest brother died when she was an infant, leaving Dany in the care of her abusive brother who raised her with little outside interaction. When she was 16, he died in a mining accident. Dany is good with machines/able to fix anything. From a young age, she heard the thoughts of others. She lives in a cave on Tatooine and makes a meager living repairing heavy, industrial machinery. She has a beaten up speeder and a blaster, but her instinct is to flee if she can.
(Sith: At age 5, her brother sold Dany to a Sith monk of the Order of Revan who raised her in the ways of the Darkside. She is deadly with a lightsaber and strong in the Force, twisting minds to her purpose.*WARNING: Dany is VERY dark in this verse. Sadistic, violent, malicious.)
