The Man in the Pearl Mask by leonanette for unhinged (musingsinchaos)
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
The Valryan gods foresee what destruction Lucerys Velaryon’s death will bring and decide to intervene. They cannot stop the dragons from dancing but they can change the tune.
Lucerys comes back from the dead thanks to Balerion’s intervention and decides that, since he failed to help his mother’s cause as himself, he should become someone different - the masked, mute, mystery dragonrider known only as Lord Velaryon.
The gods aren’t content with intervening in just one person’s fate, however. Other gods set their eyes on Aemond and work to set him on a different path.
One day, Lucerys and Aemond’s paths will cross again and, when they do, they will be very different people.

Summary
Daemon had thought he knew his sister better than anyone.
The princess had her hands tucked behind the small of her back, having what appeared to be a staring match with the weeping face of the heart tree. Compared to its cousin which resided in the Red Keep, Daemon always thought the expression on Harrenhal’s heart tree more twisted, as if in sharper agony. Perhaps with the ghosts of House Hoare, still burning from the Black Dread’s flames.
On any other day, he would not have hesitated to immediately approach her, perhaps even sneak up from behind and wrap his arms around her in an embrace. But she had been behaving oddly these past few days, avoiding him even.
His steps were hesitant as he approached her, allowing the lifeless grass and leaves to crunch noisily beneath his boots until Rhaenyra finally turned to acknowledge him, purple eyes unreadable in the gloom that always seemed to hang over the molten fortress.
“Daemon,” she greeted.
“Wife.”
