If Prince Aemon lived long enough to be king… Imagine: KingAemon I TargaryenandQueenJocelyn Baratheon.Princess Rhaenys would’ve been first in line to the throne, or Aemon and Jocelyn would’ve produced a son. Just a “what if”.
Third child and second son of King Jaehaerys IandQueen Alysanne, husband to his aunt Lady Jocelyn Baratheon, and father to Princess Rhaenys “The Queen Who Never Was”. He had pale lilac eyes and rare white-gold hair. He was also known to be handsome and tall, even taller than his tall wife. He was the dragonrider to Caraxes. He was supposed to be the heir of Jaehaerys but he died at 92 AC in Tarth. He never had a son with Jocelyn, and so his brother Prince Baelon became the new heir.
Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, The Queen Who Never Was, Lady of Driftmark
74 AC - 129 AC
Daughter of Prince Aemon TargaryenandLady JocelynBaratheon. She had black hair, pale violet eyes, and a fiery temperament. She’s the dragonrider of Meleys. She’s wife to Corlys Velaryon “The Sea Snake” and had two children, LaenaandLaenor. Sadly, she outlived both of her children. She died at the age of 55 in the battle at Rook’s Rest .
was cleaning up my drafts & found this post about gilly i wrote months ago that i chose not to share then; will share now:
Gilly is distressed, in deep depression, Sam wonders why that might be. Maybe the sea is scaring her. Maybe the child is hurting her. Maester Aemon tells us the truth: “Sam,” the old man whispered, “you have two good eyes, and yet you do not see. She is a mother grieving for her child.” This, of course, is a revelation about Jon. It also makes a claim about Gilly. Gilly, we learn, is in distress because she was forcibly separated from her infant child– every mother would be as distressed; Gilly’s distress is that of a mother. That is certainly true, though I remember thinking then, as I do now, of the many other problems Gilly is facing that remain uncommented on–unthought about–by the men that tell her story.

Small headcanon for galazza: the books describe white graces who are young girls, implying that it is custom that graces start from a young age; so i assume galazza also was a grace since a young age, and that graces change colors through their education. Further she is the only green grace in meereen (likely the highest ranking grace), implying that she probably had a different color in her youth before she took the position (unless she was chosen/groomed for the position early, but the books for example also dont mention her having any sort of apprentice dressed in green despite her old age). Galazza also has attendants called the “Pink Graces”, so i chose to dress her young version in pink as well; my thought was that maybe the pink graces receive a special education due to their closeness to the green grace (similar to jon being chosen as lord commander mormont’s steward to groom him for command).
One of my fan favorites everywhere, Prince Aemon “The Dragon Knight” & Queen Naerys Targaryen having a sweet moment ✨ Let’s all pretend Aegon IV didn’t exist shall we?
