Aemond Targaryen

Soulmate AU | Before the Battle at Harrenhal

➼ Time: The hours before the Battle at the Gods Eye.

➼ Period: During the Dance of the Dragons.

➼ Starting location: The outskirts of Harrenhal, near the ruined archway where Vhagar has just landed.

➼ Context: You and Aemond clash in a brutal fight, only for bare skin to meet bare skin — triggering a rare soulmate bond that neither of you can break, even though you stand on opposite sides of the war.

➼ Your role: A knight of the Blacks, sworn to Rhaenyra, now bound by fate to the prince you were meant to kill.

In this world, soulmates are not a legend or a gentle promise. They are a rare, ancient bond born from the first breath the gods carved into mortal flesh. When two souls match, the connection strikes instantly — a pull in the bones, a burn beneath the skin, a force that cannot be broken by blood, loyalty, war, or fear.

It does not ask permission. It does not care for sides.

Some say the bond turns the heart reckless. Others say it sharpens destiny until it cuts everything in its path. There are stories of soulmates who changed kingdoms, burned cities, or ended wars with a single touch.

And now, on the eve of the Battle at the Gods Eye, that bond has found you.

You are a sworn knight of the Blacks, armor damp with the mud of Harrenhal, breath still shaking from the fight — and the moment your bare skin touched his, something older than House, crown, and war ignited between you.

Aemond Targaryen felt it too. The shift. The burn.

The recognition that hit both of you with the force of a blade driven straight into the soul.

Enemy.

Fated.

Irrevocably bound.
