House of the Dragon Stories

House of the Dragon is HBO's Game of Thrones prequel, set roughly 170 years before Daenerys and built around the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. The source material is a dynasty that marries within itself, raises siblings as rivals, and treats an uncle taking his niece to bed as a legitimate succession strategy. The show already films sex as politics: every kiss is a claim, every bastard is a succession crisis. Fanfiction just stays in the room after the camera cuts away. That is the appeal in plain terms — these characters want each other in ways that are forbidden even by their own world's standards, and the story rewards them for it with a crown.

The pairings readers hunt for are mostly canon-adjacent. Rhaenyra and Daemon lead the pack: the possessive uncle-husband who taught her what her body could do, the heir who refuses to be managed, and the breeding subtext that the show barely bothers to hide. Aemond and Aegon come next, two brothers whose hatred is the most intimate relationship either of them has, which makes them perfect for degradation, humiliation, and forced-worship scenarios. Alicent and Rhaenyra carry the yearning contingent — childhood friends turned enemies who still touch each other's hands under the table. Beyond that you'll find Alicent and Criston Cole's guilt-soaked affair, Green-versus-Black hate sex, dragonrider bond stories, canon divergences where the losing side wins and takes its prize, and the usual crossover kinks: omegaverse, regency AUs, modern settings, and dark-Targaryen power fantasies.

The stories on this page right now cover that spread well. There's a slow-burn alpha/omega regency AU that transplants the Green prince and his aged-up nephew into a world of debutant balls and courtship rules, letting a childhood rivalry ripen into heat-driven attraction. There's a Rhaenyra and Daemon reconciliation on a Dragonstone balcony that starts as an argument about court intrigue and ends as a possessive, primal breeding scene about continuing the bloodline. And there's a dark canon-divergence where a one-eyed Aemond sits the Iron Throne and his defeated brother crawls to his chambers to worship him, brotherly contempt turned into ritual submission. Between them you get slow burn, breeding kink, and total-power-exchange, all wearing Targaryen silver.
