The Dayne-Targaryens Modern AU headcannons: (part 1/5)
Maekar had chicken pox at seventeen, the summer before he started uni, and it left terrible scars on his face, so Maekar hasn’t been clean shaven ever since.
Maekar chainsmokes from age fifteen.
Maekar is from London, Dyanna is from Gibraltar - Don’t ask her if she’s British or Spanish, her answer is too complicated and long. Maekar would summarize as “She’s from Gibraltar”, but pronounce Gibraltar in Spanish.
Myriah - Maekar’s mum - is also from Gibraltar but she has a straightforward position that Gibraltar is British.
Dyanna and Maekar meet during the first week of uni at Oxford, during a fundraising dinner.
Maekar is a law student and Dyanna is a veterinary student.
Everyone thinks Maekar would be the kind of petty that if you ask for water when he’s mad at you, he hands you a glass with ice and tells you to wait. Everyone’s wrong. He’d go get a glass of water and drink it in front of you.
Everyone thinks Dyanna is the kind of angry that if you ask for water when she’s mad at you she’d get a glass and throw the water in your face. Everyone’s wrong, she'd be the one to give you the glass of ice.
Dyanna gets pregnant with Daeron at the beginning of their second years of uni. They elope. Their parents are very angry, but supportive so they both manage to graduate. Their parents pay for their lodgings and their studies and anything they would’ve paid for if Dyanna hadn’t gotten pregnant, but they draw the line at paying for Daeron not emergency needs.
Maekar works all the way from the moment Dyanna gets pregnant to the day he dies.
Dyanna had a IUD when she got pregnant with Aerion. Maekar gets a vasectomy after Dyanna tells him she’s pregnant again.
Baelor takes all three of his youngest brothers to a sex education class after that.
Maekar went to his fair share of classes with a baby strapped to his chest, so did Dyanna. But only Maekar got positive attention because of it.
Maekar gets promoted from paralegal to barrister the day after he graduates.
Maekar gets his vasectomy reversed the week after graduation, hence Aemon.
His brothers call Aemon “Grad party”.
Dyanna manages to graduate only a year later, already pregnant with Aemon.
Aemon and Daella are Irish twins.
They stay in Oxfordshire because Dyanna finds a job as a farm veterinarian and Maekar starts his masters degree.
They eventually get their own farm. It is a respectable estate.
Maekar is a Constitutional Lawyer, he has his own firm. Later in life, in a personal capacity, he “volunteers” on Baelor’s campaign for PM.
Rhae’s first word was “fuck”. Maekar is secretly proud.
All the children speak Llanito (What Dyanna spoke to them in) and Spanish (because Maekar insisted that no form of Spanglish has any professional use).
Maekar got a definitive vasectomy after Rhae was born.
Unlike the other children, Aerion and Daeron never enter their parent’s room without knocking. Maekar and Dyanna were always at it.
Maekar’s hobby is wood chopping.
When Maekar opens his firm, he commutes everyday from Oxfordshire to London.
Maekar has terrible road rage, though he claims to love driving
He loves the excuse to yell obscenities at people.
Maekar listens exclusively to dad - rock. Though he secretly loves Joquin Sabina because of Dyanna and later in life Chapel Roan because of Rhae (He belts out Pink Pony Club in the car when he’s alone - he also knows the Hot To Go dance).
Red Wine Supernova is Daeron’s karaoke song though.
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
I first claimed that Maekar would get you a glass of water and then use it against you. I changed it. He would go get a glass of water and drink it in front of you.
