almost too great to bear.
indie original character from house of the dragon. by maric.
gonna think up some au verses for otto while i go. xoxo
❝ we don’t belong here. ❞
"you belong here, my daughter." otto cups his daughter's cheek, and he pulls her in, embracing her like he did on the day of his removal as hand.
" you belong here more than any of us. you are the greatest queen westeros has had the pleasure of having. you must be strong. you are a mother now. strength and family. that is all you have now. all we have." he would be his daughter's strength just as she had been his when her mother died. they would make the other stronger.
❝ if we don’t mind our own histories, it will do the same to us. ❞ - Helaena
otto smiles at his granddaughter, reaching to place a hand upon her silver head. "princess, i often find myself astonished and proud at your wisdom. your brothers may not mind their histories, but that is why you are here, no? to remind foolhardy young men of their history."
there's a moment that otto wonders if there will be bloodshed when aegon takes the throne. he knows it is so, but he knows this will be better in the long run when it comes to the kingdom.
he will pay no mind. at least his sweet helaena will be safe. right?
❝ to elude a storm, you can either sail into it or around it. but you must never await its coming. ❞
"a fine saying, my lady," otto says, eyes flicking up and lips almost smiling at the younger velaryon. "one would be a fool not to heed the wise advice of a family who specializes in storms."
"and what might you suggest? sailing into a storm or around it? the wiser course of action might seem sailing around. though, precious time might be lost in doing so."
“What if I flop?”
“Oh, my darling, what if you slay?”

❝ try not to look too relieved. ❞ ❝ did you sleep? how long? ❞ ❝ i don’t need mothering. ❞ ❝ you’re safe with me, i swear it. ❞ ❝ to elude a storm, you can either sail into it or around it. but you must never await its coming. ❞ ❝ i have only ever defended you. ❞ ❝ i’ve always thought of you and i as having been made from the same cloth. ❞ ❝ you will address me as “your grace” or i will have my guard cut out your tongue. ❞ ❝ i’d rather serve as a knight and ride to battle and glory. ❞ ❝ you’re always like this when you’re worried. disagreeable. ❞ ❝ i like this position. it’s quite comfortable. ❞ ❝ how sweetly the fox speaks when it’s been cornered by hounds. ❞ ❝ we haven’t spoke much…since… ❞ ❝ i was never much of a dancer. ❞ ❝ do you want me to kill him? ❞ ❝ i’m asking with you to come with me…away from all of this. ❞ ❝ come, eat. fortify yourself for the journey. ❞ ❝ you swore to protect me. ❞ ❝ what will they say of me when the histories are written? ❞ ❝ it’s the only thing i have to my fucking name! ❞ ❝ strive to restore whatever scrap of honor you have left. ❞ ❝ our worth is not given. it must be made. ❞ ❝ it pleases me to hear you say this. that i am not alone in my grief. ❞ ❝ if you mean to elicit some anger from me, you should know that you’re failing. ❞ ❝ it bothers you, does it not? ❞ ❝ the realm owes you a great debt. ❞ ❝ all i wanted was for someone to say that they were sorry for what happened to me. ❞ ❝ we must all mourn in our own way. ❞ ❝ do you have a specific course of action to propose? ❞ ❝ we’re both people who have had to cut our own way through the world. ❞ ❝ were that to happen, losses would be incalculable. ❞ ❝ it was not my intent to make offense. ❞ ❝ when steel is drawn, a fair match isn’t something anyone should expect. ❞ ❝ i find i have…few friends lately. ❞ ❝ we don’t belong here. ❞ ❝ i only want to help you. ❞ ❝ you cannot believe such gossip. ❞ ❝ just get out. leave me at once. ❞ ❝ to have every young knight and lord fawning over you…what a misery. ❞ ❝ you’ve been much alone these past few years. alone and angry. ❞ ❝ the road ahead is uncertain, but the end is clear. ❞ ❝ you’re young. you will learn. ❞ ❝ this is just what i need…a little adventure. ❞ ❝ care for some company? ❞ ❝ the wise sailor flees the storm as it fathers. ❞ ❝ you are a plague…sent to destroy me. ❞ ❝ for one night, i wish to be free of the burdens of my inheritance. ❞ ❝ do you wish to hear my opinion on the matter? ❞ ❝ i’ve decided to remain here and read instead. ❞ ❝ if there were another path…one that led to freedom…would you take it? ❞ ❝ we should be free to speak our minds to one another. ❞ ❝ everything i’ve given you, you’ve thrown back in my face. ❞ ❝ answer me. it’s important. ❞ ❝ do you never long for home? ❞ ❝ i know you’ve never seen true battle. ❞ ❝ your heart is even darker than i thought. ❞ ❝ you think yourself a cunning person. your plans are obvious. ❞ ❝ you never were one to stay idle. ❞ ❝ do not speak of this again. ❞ ❝ they whisper about me in the corridors. ❞ ❝ am i your prisoner? ❞ ❝ love…is a downfall. ❞ ❝ we’re free to do as we please. ❞ ❝ you will make a fearsome knight. ❞ ❝ just take my arm, at the least. ❞ ❝ i will be a stranger when we meet again. ❞ ❝ you dare put hands on me? ❞ ❝ i have no shortage of allies. ❞ ❝ who gives a fuck what some lord thinks? ❞ ❝ take your fucking hands off me. ❞ ❝ a certain insolence runs in the family. ❞ ❝ meat without wine is a sin. ❞ ❝ are you…are you hurt? ❞ ❝ life has, i know, disappointed you. ❞ ❝ i’d rather ride alone. ❞ ❝ do you wish to know your death? ❞ ❝ if we don’t mind our own histories, it will do the same to us. ❞ ❝ i believe you were made to wear the crown. ❞ ❝ we are turning back, all right? ❞ ❝ most of my years have been spent living in terror. ❞ ❝ all that i have, i owe to you. ❞ ❝ night time, you might not be so lucky. ❞ ❝ i endured it for as long as i could. ❞ ❝ who might you be running from, now? ❞ ❝ i am yours and you are mine. ❞
The time is coming, Alicent. Either you prepare Aegon to rule or you cleave to Rhaneyra and pray for her mercy.
