A Love So Green, A Heart So Black

by Old_Closed_Library

Summary:

Alysanne Targaryen was born five seconds after her twin brother Jacaerys. And just like that, she was a Targaryen. Only her hair did not fall in sheets of whitened silver, but instead, chestnut curls. And her eyes were brown. Strong brown.
A bastard as well as a Princess.

-

After Rhaenyra birthed a girl alongside her son Jace, Alysanne Targaryen grew up as a beloved princess throughout all of King's Landing. She was kind and good and cherished by the people. Except through the growing childhood hostilities between Rhaenyra and Alicent, she finds herself bonded closely with her young uncle, Aemond. Betrothed to each other as young children, that bond is broken when Lucerys takes Aemond’s eye on that dreaded night on Driftmark, and the two families become estranged with hatred.

Now that the Dance of The Dragons has begun, Aemond and Alysanne are strangers that still feel a pull towards one another. A pull filled with pain and distance and surprisingly… longing.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANTED AEMOND TARGARYEN TO HAVE HIS OWN STORY AND FALL IN LOVE... here you go.
