**Hey there!**
Just a heads up-this fanfic is rated **Mature/Explicit** and has some heavy stuff like graphic violence, sex, sexual and psychological abuse, alcohol use, and some colorful language. If any of these themes might bother you, please take care when reading.
**Disclaimer:**
The world of House of the Dragon and its characters belong to George R. R. Martin and HBO. I'm just playing in their sandbox for fun, not profit. The only characters that are mine are the ones I've created.

**Author's Note:**
I'm super excited to share this fanfic with you! The story kicks off with some events from the show, but after that, I let my imagination run wild. So, get ready for some surprises!
As for Aemond, he's that character you love to hate. Even though he has his moments of tenderness (because even Targaryens have a heart, right?), he's not going to hold back. We're dealing with a pretty toxic relationship here, so brace yourselves for a rollercoaster of emotions and, yeah, some really cruel actions on his part.
I really hope you enjoy the story! And seriously, I love reading your comments, so don't be shy-let's chat about all of this!
And remember: when a Targaryen smiles, either run or run faster!
