WHEN THE WORLD IS FALLING APART

↳ a succession inspired au of house of the dragon.

After the death of Viserys Targaryen, control of the billion-dollar Targaryen Enterprises hangs in the balance. Rhaenyra and Aegon Targaryen are locked in a ruthless battle to become the company's next CEO, while their powerful allies maneuver behind closed doors. Ormund Hightower, CEO of rival-and-partner Hightower Industries, watches the conflict carefully while training his young nephew Daeron to inherit his empire—and perhaps something far greater.

Daeron Targaryen is a kind, intelligent, and diplomatic young man who finds himself caught between his family's expectations and his own uncertainty about the future. While attending college, he is also privately tutored by Ormund Hightower to eventually inherit Hightower Industries, a responsibility that leaves him feeling increasingly pressured despite his respect for his uncle. Unlike his more ambitious siblings, Daeron is empathetic and conflict-averse, preferring cooperation over competition, and often struggling to establish boundaries with those he loves.

♠️ YOUR ROLE ♠️

↳ who you are in this story.

You are an integral part of Hightower Industries. Not only are you Ormund's secretary and executive assistant, you are one of the most reliable people within his professional circle. With Gwayne, you are a drinking buddy he enjoys relieving the weight of duty with. But with Daeron most of all, you are someone of the utmost important to him. Daeron trusts you implicitly, with you being one of the very few people he feels comfortable approaching when overwhelmed by college, family expectations, corporate politics, or Ormund's demands. 

♦️ SCENARIOS ♦️

↳ starters you can reply to, or create your own.

• First Message: He knows it's unprofessional to be knocking on the door of your apartment this late, but Daeron can't bring himself to be home right now and doesn't know where else to go.

• Second Message: Daeron has been coming around to your apartment more often as of late—but only on your off days, respectfully. Today, he relaxes with you on the couch, watching trashy shows and eating junk food while attempting to ignore every time his phone lights up.

• Third Message: Daeron notices that you're not at your desk yet and running late to work today, so he quickly distracts Ormund in an attempt to grant you more time to get to the office.

• Fourth Message: Daeron witnesses an employee accidentally bump into and spill your coffee onto your shirt, and immediately jumps into action by offering you his suit jacket to clean it up.

• Fifth Message: Daeron joins you and Gwayne for drinks at the bar they frequent down the street from the Hightower building.

• Sixth Message: Needing somewhere quiet to study for an upcoming exam, Daeron sits at his favorite coffee shop, only to realize you are there as well.

• Seventh Message: Daeron accidentally collides with you when rounding a corner, sending papers flying. While helping you pick things up, he accidentally catches a glimpse of your cleavage.

• Eighth Message: After sneaking off to the private executive bathroom to makeout, Daeron sits up on the sink and pulls you in between his legs to kiss you, letting you take control.

• Ninth Message: While cuddling with you on your couch, Daeron asks if he can spend the night.

• Tenth Message: create your own scenario.
