Look for Me By the Moonlight / Ch 1

Hello! Here's my contribution to Forever Yours, Forever Mine 2024 hosted by @iceandfirejonerysdiscord. This is for Day 3, star-crossed lovers ❤️

Thank you to @moondancer71 for the beautiful MB and for beta reading!

Betrothed since birth, Jon and Dany never managed to get along. Just as their rivalry fades and their romance begins to bud, a powerful sorcerer decides he wants Dany all for himself - and he has enough power to take her. Trapped, and under a spell, only true love can break the curse that holds her.

You can read here on A03. Thank you!

A Dream of Spring: Wedding on Dragonstone

I read a theory recently that Jon and Dany secretly got married on Dragonstone before leaving for Winterfell, and that Tyrion watched Jon enter Dany’ s cabin because the scene we saw was their bedding ceremony. I love this crackpot because of the parallels to Rhaegar and Lyanna and how it would set their wedding to precede the reveal of Jon’s parentage. So, naturally I had to draw it as I imagined – one last unseasonably warm day and one last moment of simple love and happiness before the long night. I am considering drawing more of this sequence because it’s so beautiful to me.

the discussion of the legitimacy of jon as an robb’s heir in connection of status as a bastard is excessive in mg opinion, monarchs who had their legitimacy questioned as a case against their crowing still prevailed and were crowned.

an example is daeron ii, who legitimacy was questioned during his father reign yet was still crowned and relatively brought peace and prospect during his reign before and after the blackfyre rebellion. a historical example would be elizabeth i.

the point is when the north is reclaimed by the Stark, Jon as the oldest and the most experienced will be chosen as king or king regent in-spite his status of brith.

this has most probably been noted by others but it hit me just now that dany's dragons actually do act like the people they're named after, not just in terms of how they were as real humans and their relationship with her but how dany chooses to remember them.

viserion is notably the most affectionate, and this is because viserys was affectionate and kind to dany when they were younger. drogon is the one that she bonds with as a rider, and the one that's the most fearsome, because drogo was the first man that dany derived power from (my sun and stars made a queen of me); drogon becomes her ultimate symbol of power.

rhaegar was the brother that she never knew, but idolises and tries to emulate, especially when she is taking big decisions. she takes rhaegal with her to petition the pureborn, because that is still early stages of her becoming queen in her own right, and rhaegar was the crown prince and it makes sense that one of her first diplomtic attempts are with her almost-king brother at her side. i'm not saying that this is what she was thinking, but that symbolically i like the choice. she doesn't really know him, only anecdotes, and this is probably why rhaegal is the one that is most... free in personality. there's simply not enough to establish a relationship with rhaegar and dany so that transfers to rhaegal and dany, but rhaegal has been noticeably more sharp than viserion, snapping at ser barristan and irri. he is quick to act when dany is irritated, or conflicted, but he also snaps out in defense of her when she meets with that slaver outside yunkai, so... i believe that kind of transfers back to how rhaegar and dany's relationship could have been had he lived. makes sense because she is so much younger than her eldest brother that she is the age of his children. rhaegal is also the one that kills quentyn martell who tries to "tame" viserion.

all of this also makes me think that viserion will be the one that euron greyjoy binds with the dragon horn, but because viserion is named after viserys, and dany believes "his dragon will do what he could not".... i think viserion will be reunited with dany. viserys was lost to dany by the end, so much that she had to effectively view him as dead before he was actually killed (this man who had once been her brother) so there's probably going to be a lot of angst surrounding this period, but viserion will win out in the end somehow. especially because dany tried multiple times to help viserys when they were with the dothraki and he rebuked at her every turn, so this time her efforts will not be in vain.
