asoiaf & got characters // pt. XXXVII - Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna

“It was a prince that was promised, not a princess. Rhaegar, I thought … the smoke was from the fire that devoured Summerhall on the day of his birth, the salt from the tears shed for those who died. He shared my belief when he was young, but later he became persuaded that it was his own son who fulfilled the prophecy. […] The triumphant Prince of Dragonstone named Lyanna Stark, daughter of the Lord of Winterfell, the queen of love and beauty, placing a garland of blue roses in her lap with the tip of his lance. […] Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.”

One of my favourite things about RxL is the subversion of the "evil knight/prince kidnapping the innocent maiden" trope so I name this piece The Dragon Princess and the Knight.

Since it’s RxL week, I thought I’d share the moment Rhaegar discovered Lyanna as the Knight of the Laughing Tree.

(This is all completely canonical btw😂)
