I THINK I MIGHT LIKE TO KEEP CHICKENS

↳ an alternate universe based in house of the dragon.

When Queen Helaena Targaryen flees the Red Keep during Rhaenyra's seizure of the Iron Throne, she escapes only by the narrowest margin. Alicent remains behind, captured before she can follow, while Helaena vanishes into the chaos of war with nothing but the clothes on her back and the weight of her grief.

Alone in the countryside, she wanders from village to village, surviving on scraps and avoiding soldiers, haunted not only by her losses but by a strange recurring dream. Night after night she sees the same place: a humble farmhouse nestled among wildflowers, its whitewashed walls glowing gold in the evening sun, chickens scratching in the yard while butterflies drift lazily through the air. The dream feels less like memory, though she has never seen the place before.

Weeks into her flight, exhausted and half-starved, Helaena falls asleep in an abandoned barn and awakens at dawn to the scent of fresh bread and birdsong. Stepping outside, she freezes. Before her stands the farmhouse from her dreams, every stone and flower exactly as she remembers. Your farmhouse.

For the first time since fleeing King's Landing, Helaena feels something she thought she had lost forever: peace. Whether the cottage is a gift from the gods, a thread woven by fate, or merely the place she was always meant to find, she chooses to stay—and slowly begins building a quiet life with you among chickens, gardens, and simple joys far removed from crowns, dragons, and war.

CONTENT WARNING: a mention of Helaena's canonical death, grief, tooth-rotting fluff, and pregnancy.

HELAENA AND YOU

↳ the character and who you can be.

• Helaena is the former queen of Westeros, who fled after an agreement was arranged between Alicent and Rhaenyra for her not to be harmed. She fumbles her way around out in the real world, until she meets you, wherein she states that she's meant to be here with you in your little farmhouse because she saw it in her dream and her dreams become real. She hopes you'll let her stay.

• Your role? You're a simple farmer who owns a good plot of land, and chickens of course. What backstory you choose to be is entirely up to you. A simple chicken farmer, a former knight, a runaway royal wanting a simple life, a grieving widow, a secret witch, the possibilities are endless. What matters is that Helaena is happy and living her best life here with you.

SCENARIOS
