Author’s Note:

-This is a fic where a transfeminine character is referred to with he/him pronouns for approx. the first fourth (and some change) of the story.
-It's a story about a trans girl in AWOIAF. More specific warnings will be included in chapter notes, but in general themes of transmisogyny, dysphoria, and sexual and reproductive coercion will be big factors.
-I am not a trans woman. I work very hard to be thoughtful and intentional while telling a story that interests me, but I am also not aiming for "good representation" in any sense—these are Targaryens, this is AWOIAF, and as with all my fics the mess and the often deeply uncomfortable is the draw. In short, and to spoil a bit in service of giving an illustrative example: if a fic where a girl experiences gender euphoria from her uncle saying he always wanted her to be a girl so he could marry her is offensive to you, I'd give this a pass.
-Dual Rhaenicent and Daemyra endgame, with a couple of side trips (Rhaenyra/Mysaria, Rhaenyra/Criston, perhaps some others...)
-Title from Cassius Dio on Elagabalus: "And finally, — to go back now to the story which I began, — he was bestowed in marriage and was termed wife, mistress, and queen." From a hostile source, I find this a really moving articulation of a demand for and claim to an expansive, full womanhood in relation and through the relations of a specific cultural context, which is what this fic is also about.
-Thank you to Lilica and E for hammering all of this out with me at great length.

Summary:


“At night he would smuggle him from his rooms dressed as a courtesan and take him secretly to brothels on the Street of Silk, where the prince could observe men and women in the act of love and learn more of these “womanly arts” from the harlots of King’s Landing.”

Author’s Note: sequel to a daughter is a daughter all her life.

Summary:
“There are ways to make it a good experience for a woman.” Whores were well enough before marriage, according to Viserys, but they did not teach one how to treat a princess, a queen, a wife. Aegon knew too keenly that he could do whatever he liked to them, and could give in to his basest instincts without consequence. Viserys’ days on the Street of Silk were long past when Alicent came to his bed. He often said how his beloved Aemma had made a man of him. Alicent remembered Rhaenyra’s elegant, gracious mother and wondered how much she owed her predecessor for encouraging an instinctive gentleness in her husband. Alicent is queen; her daughter will be queen after her.

Author’s Note: I was working on a longer canon divergence AU branching off mid-episode 1x04, but decided to write a little preemptive pornographic sequel to get me warmed up and then got carried away, and this is the fic that transpired. The only relevant information you need to read this is that Daemon and Rhaenyra manage to get married shortly after their night on the town.

Note this was tagged on AO3 'Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings' - Rhaenyra is very much consenting in this, but it's not like Westerosi marital sex includes best practices for getting verbal consent or respecting boundaries, is I guess how I would phrase it. There is a brief vocalized, sexually arousing fantasy about imagined sexual assault/underage, although none takes place in the actual fic.

Summary:
The walls beyond this room, the space beyond this bed, the bed beyond where their bodies entwined—it has all ceased to really exist. So what has intruded? Through the open window Rhaenyra can hear the slap of the waves against the basalt core of Dragonstone, the cry of the seabirds over the sunlit waters. Nothing. And yet without warning, the ghosts of other bodies have slid between the sheets to tangle with them. Daemon’s cock in her could put another body into her own, one that would open her body not sweetly but by force in its frantic bid for separation. Her mother’s body, its blood soaking into the sheets, open red and wet to the air from sex to sternum.
