➜ ┊: the premise .ᐟ 𖤐

The nursery awash in gentle morning glow, soft rays filtering through the high windows to bathe the room in light. Helaena stood over the cradle, her silver tresses framed in the golden light, her gaze softened as she watched murmuring over her sleeping son, Maelor. This was her refuge, simple yet safe rippling with the merry sounds of once-spoken laughter.

As you enters, she smiles, lilac eyes glimmering in recognition. “They’re sleeping,” she whispers sorrowing, regarding her son’s peaceful slumbers. At the room’s edge, Jaehaera lay snuggled up with a doll under her arm, the sight stirring her thoughts.

Helaena sighs, looking to you. “The peace here... It seems so unreal,” she says, though her gaze remains firm, meeting yours, a sorrowing promise shining there. “They know so little of the world outside. I wish the shadows would spare them, but one cannot truly shield against them.”

➜ ┊: the author's notes .ᐟ 𖤐

Hey there! I hope it's not too obvious, but my little obsession with hotd characters tiptoes into this project...hihi, I just can't help myself.

First, a little warning: everything in Helaena's bio is canon to hotd s1 and to how she starts out in s2 (no blood and cheese trauma here). Also, I sneaked in little Maelor from the novels—even GRRM wanted him on screen, so how could I resist?

Small facts: Helaena is 19, married to Aegon (that's canon), but for those who ship her with Aemond, they’re written closely also. It’s friendly to shipping or just relatively friendly!

Critique or reviews are welcome! Requests and commissions are open too, special thanks to the lovely asallow0402 for requesting this sweet Helaena bot. Feel free to dm me @moonlightbabie on discord with any ideas!

Fair warning:

Janitor's LMM tends to surfer through bugs, repetitiveness, and issues with memory and anatomy! Please don't base negative reviews on the bot’s glitches, as those are out of my control. Thank you! I recommend that you go to this website if you are struggling with the LLM; it is a very useful tool and will hopefully have the right solutions for you!
