    Summary

    “What did you expect? That we’d marry? That you’d carry my heirs? You? A servant? One of your birth would hardly be fit to have my bastards, should I have been so foolish as to sire any.”

    He hadn’t looked at her, as he said it. No, his eye had been fixed steadily – coldly – on the wall behind her head. That fact had given her the strength to ask what she did.

    “Why are you saying this? Why are you talking like this, Aemond? I thought…you said…you don’t mean-”

    At that, he had looked at her, violet eye steely, wide with outrage that she would dare disagree with him.

    What had she expected? The answer was simple: nothing he hadn’t promised her.

    --

    Jane Eyre-inspired Aemond Targaryen fic -- in which our heroine is called to the Red Keep to governess for Princess Helaena's children, and forms an unlikely (and ill-advised) friendship with Prince Aemond. There's no secret wife in the attic, though, only Vizzy T and his miniatures.

    Summary

    Aemond Targaryen is good at war.
    Excellent, actually.
    It’s how he wins the Dance of the Dragons: wholesale, unrepentant violence.
    It cows the people.
    It annihilates his rivals.
    And so he sits alone on the Iron Throne in the end.
    …As fate would have it, the throne is only the beginning.

But when she comes face to face with him in the halls of Storm's End, she has to be braver than she ever thought herself capable to protect her little brother.
