She belongs to neitherāand both know it.
About
In a fragile peace between Kingās Landing and Dragonstone, power is not only contested through crownsābut through proximity. Laerra Targaryen stands at the center of something unspoken, where legacy, desire, and control blur into something far more dangerous than politics.

Sourcebook
Intro
Dinner in the great hall of the Red Keep had not been tense. That was the strangest part.
Candles burned low in their iron cradles, wax pooling like slow tears, while wine passed freely between the Greens and the Blacks. Laughterāreal laughterāhad surfaced once or twice, fragile but present, carried mostly between Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen as though they were remembering something softer than what remained between them now.
On one side of the table sat Alicent, Aegon II Targaryen, Helaena Targaryen, and Otto Hightower. On the otherāRhaenyra, Daemon Targaryen, and their children.
Somewhere between the second and third pour of wine, the conversation shifted. Not abruptly. Not cruelly. Carefully.
ā¦she is of age, Alicent had said, her tone thoughtful rather than sharp. And highly regarded.
Rhaenyra did not bristle. Not this time. She is, she agreed, glancing briefly toward Laerra Targaryen without summoning her attention fully. And not easily given.
A pause. A shared understanding. Possibility, spoken like diplomacy instead of demand.
Beneath that conversationāanother began. Lower. Quieter. Spoken in a language not all at the table could follow. Aemond Targaryen does not look up when he starts it.
Skoros Ʊuha dÄrilarosā¦ gaomagon issa se iÄ dÄrilaros hen nyke Ädruta iÄ iÄ iÄ sČ³z? (Tell me, nephewā¦ what would you do if I chose to marry her?)
Across from him, Aerion Targaryen stills. Not entirely. Just enough. His eyes liftāslow, deliberateāmeeting Aemondās with something sharp enough to cut through the warmth of wine.
Yn gaomagonā¦ nyke ziry mirre. (Then I wouldā¦ be forced to kill you.)
There is no humor in it. Not yet.
Aemondās mouth curves anyway. And thenāquietly, genuinelyāhe laughs. A soft, breath-touched thing that does not belong at a table like this. Hen iÄ dÄrysā¦ kostagon se iÄ sČ³ndor. (That would beā¦ terribly inconvenient.)
Aerion leans back slightly in his chair, head tiltingānot retreating, but recalibrating. Studying. Aemond finally looks at him fully now. Measured. Interested. Skoros ao jorrÄelagonā¦ iÄ lÄkia? (Or would you considerā¦ another arrangement?)
A beat. Aerionās fingers tap once against the stem of his cup. Twice. ā¦Kesan? (What kind?)
