All sentences are taken from HBO's House of the Dragon season two premiere episode, a son for a son. Change names, pronouns, locations as you see fit. Caution for foul language, sexual acts implied and everything that is associated with A Song of Ice and Fire. Includes spoilers from the trailer of upcoming episodes.
Viserys had a certain reputation as being pliable.
I would think, as we find ourselves standing within a hair's breadth of a war, that you would wish to be viewed differently.
Our victory depends on the efforts of the smallfolk.
When the King speaks, your Grace, all hear it.
In winter, my duty to the wall is even more dire than the one I owe to King's Landing.
Duty is sacrifice. It eclipses all things, even blood. All men of honor must pay its price.
Since the days of the First Men, we have stood as guardians against the cold and the dark.
This is not a sentence but an honor. A duty embraced by all who serve the North. Even by mine own kin.
Winter is Coming.
What is this, then, that falls from the skies and shivers my bones?
This is only a late summer snow, my prince. In winter, it will cover all you see, and all memories of warmth will be forgotten.
It pleases me to think that over a century ago our ancestors treated in this very place. The Conqueror and the King in the North.
You, at least, had the mercy not to threaten me with your dragon.
The realm will soon tear itself apart…if men do not remember the oath sworn to King Viserys and to his rightful heir.
Starks do not forget their oaths, my prince. But you must know that my gaze is forever torn between north and south.
Whilst your men guard against wildlings and weather,the Hightowers plan to usurp the throne.
My father brought King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne to see the Wall. His Grace stood at this very outlook and watched as their dragons, the greatest power in the world, refused to cross it.
Do you think my ancestors built a 700-foot wall of ice to keep out snow and savages?
They will fight hard. Like Northerners.
I cannot face that hoary old bitch alone. With my dragon and yours together, we can k*ll Vhagar and her rider.
Make it a son for a son.
I should be at Harrenhal bending knees, but I must instead remain here to wage her war.
She has been gone for days. Too long. She is exposed.
The mother grieves as the queen shirks her duties.
They'd be fools to come with Vhagar protecting the city.
We cannot. Again.
Rhaenyra's blockade has placed King's Landing under strain. And those pressures will multiply quickly.
We must play the board before us.
Errors were made in the hours following King Viserys's death.
My army cannot win a war without your weapons. You should continue their making.
I find myself wondering...do we pursue the same end?
An ally would not repeatedly cut my legs from beneath me at that table of men! I sit there and I feel your anger.
Did you think I would wither in your absence?
You only blame me because your true enemies are out of reach.
I possess nothing of value to you, Daemon.
And we swore the same oath: to defend the whole of the royal family. So what were we to do when they turned against one another?
I will fly to Harrenhal at your command and set our toehold in the Riverlands.
The White Worm said you're one of Aegon's ratcatchers.
Her ghost told me you were a betting man.
You're to find and slay the Prince Aemond Targaryen.
She blames me for starting this war after she plotted with my father's council to usurp his throne.
She holds love for our enemy. That makes her a fool.
I promise you, Aemond, you will have all the vengeance that you seek, but you must keep a grip on your impulses.
He's as loyal as a hound. I can set him and his dragon on my foes at will.
"A son for a son", he said.
They killed the boy.
You have wounded me. Weakened my claim to the throne.
Rhaenyra's supporters will believe what they wish. And so will Aegon's.
The significance of Viserys' intentions died with him.
This war will not be won with dragons alone but with dragons flying behind armies of men.
Perhaps the presence of a dragon will sharpen minds round these parts.
There is more than one way to fight a war.
We must break the will of our enemy. There will be no mercy!
We have given the war to the dragons.

PROMPTS FROM VARIOUS LITERARY SOURCES.
I have not broken your heart — you have; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where the madness lies?
To dream the impossible dream, that is my quest.
When we set the carriage afire, her flesh will be roasted, her bones will be charred: she will die an agonizing death.
What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.
The bird fights its way out of the egg.
I have no right to call myself one who knows.
We who bore the mark might well be considered by the rest of the world as strange, even as insane and dangerous.
I have no idea whether parents can be of help, and I do not blame mine.
At one time I had given much thought to why men were so very rarely capable of living for an ideal. Now I saw that many, no, all men were capable of dying for one.
I will not make a gift of myself, I must be won.
Examine a person closely enough and you know more about him than he does himself.
One cannot apologize for something fundamental, and a child feels and knows this as well and as deeply as any sage.
The tree does not die. It waits.
Fate and character are different names for the same idea.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
All theory is gray, my friend. But forever green is the tree of life.
I am not omniscient, but I know a lot.
Everything transitory is but an image.
One mind is enough for a thousand hands.
Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.
Words are mere sound and smoke, dimming the heavenly light.
But you will never know another's heart, unless you are prepared to give yours too.
The Devil's in the house and can't get out.
Men's wretchedness in soothe I so deplore.
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently.
Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.
When reason fails, the devil helps!
A hundred suspicions don't make a proof.
The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.
The fear of appearances is the first symptom of impotence.
Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.
Have you ever heard of 'a genius who had been stuffed and preserved'?
Every day I am fated to die.
All the activities of life seem unbearably dull to me and I have renounced them.
If you would be nice to me, I would gladly die for you this moment.
Having made an utter failure of my life, I found myself one day in the midst of my poverty and wretchedness, thinking about the female companions of my youth.
So, surrender to sleep at last. What a misery, keeping watch through the night, wide awake -- you’ll soon come up from under all your troubles.
Man is the vainest of all creatures that have their being upon earth.
There is a time for making speeches, and a time for going to bed.
For there is nothing better in this world than that man and wife should be of one mind in a house.
I swear by the greatest, grimmest oath that binds the happy gods.
Few sons are the equals of their fathers; most fall short, all too few surpass them.

All sentences in this meme are taken from all of the house of the dragon season two teasers and new trailers so far up to date. Change names, locations, pronouns as you see fit. Updated with the new final trailer for the show by today May 15th.
Errors were made in the hours following King Viserys' death.
The war will be fought,many will die,and the victor will eventually ascend the throne.
There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin, and no war so bloody as a war between dragons.
We fight for our queen!
My father chose me, his firstborn child, to succeed him. He held to his decision until death.
And yet, Alicent's son sits on my throne.
I mean to fight this war, and win it.
The realm will soon tear itself apart if men do not remember the oaths sworn to King Viserys, and to his rightful heir.
The Hightowers are marching. You must crush this beast at its head.
Our terms are very simple: renounce the false king, and bend the knee to the queen, or your house burns.
When the desire to kill and burn takes hold and reason is forgotten, we will not even remember what began the war in the first place
I fear what I have begun.
There are two sides of a story.
Choose your side.
For the one true king, Aegon!
Only weeks ago, my lord husband was alive and the realm was at peace.
On his death bed, he knew the realm would never accept a queen.
Rhaenyra's supporters will believe what they wish, but Viserys wanted Aegon to succeed him.
They wish now not for the good of the realm, but for the satisfaction of vengeance.
Plot against the king, and I will pay it back a hundred times over.
I'm as fearsome as any of them.
You have no idea the sacrifices that were made to put you on that throne.
My uncle is a challenge I welcome, if he dares face me.
We will prevail and bring forth peace.
You must accept that the path to victory now is one of violence.
Good....to war then.
All my life, I've endeavored to serve both my house and the realm.
Whose side are you on?
When the desire to kill and burn takes hold and reason is forgotten, we will not even remember what began the war in the first place.
Who sits the Iron Throne, is not just a king or a queen. They are a protector of the realm.
Now, I find myself in an impossible position.
The enemy usurped my throne.
Well, what are we going to do about it?
We must play the board before us. Proceed cautiously.
Fuck dignity! I want revenge.
The great houses will come to our side.
I did not think they would be so eager to die.
The realm's only hope is in a leader strong enough to unite it.
Do you accept me as your queen and ruler?
This senseless war must end.
Alicent holds love for our enemy. That makes her a fool.
The enemy outside may be fought with swords. The enemy within is more insidious.
There is more than one way to fight a war.
War is coming, And neither of us may win.
okay, just because i've seen a few things on x and tiktok about this now and want to kind of put this out now before the show comes out. and maybe this isn't what will happen in the show, but there's already been too much speculation about things between alys and daemon at harrenhal with those two clips in the trailer.
i will not be writing alys taking on rhaenyra's looks or charming daemon into thinking she's rhaenyra to sleep with or control him. i do not like how r*pey that is, especially with how grrm likes to write the treatment of women and lowborn women. alys has probably been a victim of r*pe herself, so i will not be writing her doing anything of the sort to daemon / aemond / criston, whoever people want to believe she's charmed. will she emotionally manipulate them? yes, that's likely, but it'll never go into a sexual realm when it comes to me writing her.
