Love At First Heartbreak

Viserys still sees her as a "just a girl" (most likely because for a father a daughter is never old enough) and as a political pawn so he forces her into that role that is tight for her.

Alicent sees her as what she couldn't be so with jealousy, which is why she reacts badly to the virginity argument, because Rhaenyra could choose her lover.

Otto sees it as an obstacle to be eliminated and to do so he uses any means possible.

Only Daemon sees Rhaenyra for what she is, a young woman discovering her being. I love that he explain her that marriage is a duty but that marriage doesn't preclude to find pleasure elsewhere.

"Marriage is a duty... Yes. But that doesn't stop us from doing what we want. From fucking who we want."

I love the fact that he wants to free her from labels, free her in general and make her discover her sexuality.

Then I believe that everyone is free to interpret their relationship as they want, I personally do not think that he is using her to get to the throne indeed I believe that he is really fond of her and this scares him because it is a situation out of his control. I believe that his:

"I want Rhaenyra. I'll take her as she is, and we'd her in the tradition of uor house."

is an explanation of Daemon's feelings.

And above all I find it amazing when Viserys exclaims that no one will want Rhaenyra in marriage since she is no longer a maiden, Daemon replies that he does not care what the Lords think, because for him Rhaenyra is not a trophy to be exhibited, but a person, and that the fact that she is no longer a maiden says nothing about the woman that Rhaenyra really is.

Daemon and Rhaenyra are two sides of the same coin just as Viserys points out.

"Daemon and Rhaenyra shared the blood of the Dragon. They are restless and chaotic."

James and Alice have been friends since childhood, and they both have feelings for each other but don’t know it (I know it’s classic and probably boring) . During a game of quidditch, James accidentally confessed his feelings. Idk what next though! Thank you for responding!

Hi there! So this is my first James Sirius x Alice Longbottom II fic, and I think they’re absolutely adorable! I don’t write a ton of next gen, but I hope you like it! (I had to throw in a Hinny flashback, too!)

Deja vu

Summer days like today were James Sirius’ favorite. Everyone was gathered at the Burrow for a surprise fortieth birthday party for his dad. There were enough cousins and then some to play a full seven on seven quidditch match. The Longbottoms and Scamanders were there, too. Not that Lorcan and Lysander contributed much. They were more interested in searching the garden for nargles or something than playing quidditch.

But Nev and Hannah’s daughter Alice was there, and was currently playing beater alongside him. It was all James could do to keep his head in the game because Alice was proving to be extremely distracting. She had no idea he'd fancied her for the better part of a year, and he had no idea how to broach the subject with her. Not that he was going to do it today. No, certainly not. It’d be much safer when they got back to school. Well, maybe not much safer, considering her dad was the Herbology professor. 

James was pulled out of his daydream as Alice was shouting his name. Bloody hell, a bludger was headed right for him. He really needed to focus on the match.

“Quick, at Roxie!” she shouted.
