#rhaenysweek

Posting a day late, but here is a WIP inspired by the prompt for Day 7 of Rhaenys Week: Meleys 🥹

One of the first things I ever wrote for this fandom was Rhaenys, having just given birth, bringing newborn baby Laenor to the window to introduce him to Meleys - this is a follow up to that, of Rhaenys bringing Laenor down to the caves for the first time. Considering that she lost her first rider to childbirth, I think Meleys would keep an extra close eye on Rhaenys during her pregnancies and has probably put up with more antics from Laenor and Laena than most dragons would tolerate!

“We’re off to battle again, old girl.”

“As the firstborn child of the Prince of Dragonstone, many hailed her as next in line for the Iron Throne after her father. When Queen Alysanne held her in her arms for the first time, she was heard to call the little girl “our queen to be."
