    Summary

    “Because if I intended to simply take leave, as you say, it would be expected that the Hand and Small Council would govern in my stead, in my name.”

    Daemon nodded, taking a sip from his cup.

    Viserys caught his gaze and held it. “Instead, I want you to govern, as if you were king.”

    Daemon choked, spluttering and wasting the fine Arbor Gold all over the floor. “What?!”

    “You say you wish to be my Hand, and later succeed me on the Iron Throne. Let us test that shall we? Discover whether you truly wish to rule the Seven Kingdoms.”

    Summary

    People said Targaryen’s were closer to gods than man, each born alongside a dragon, and bearing their flame. A flame that would come alight when they met their match, bonding them with their other half — only to burn out in death.


    Or: In which they were, quite literally, meant for each other.
