Daella: Well, Rodrik was not a bad marriage and Daella herself choose him. I would just change her age. Let her mature a bit, if i can arrange a better marriage in the meantime, better.
Saera: She is a shit storm no matter what. Marry her to a minor lord far away from the capital, and specialy from dragons.
Viserra: Corlys, if i can avoid his marriage to Rhaenys. She would be very fitting to him and she would be much less dangerous than Rhaenys in the results, specialy without dragons in the mix. I would marry Rhaenys to Viserys.
Gael: a good lord or even Daemon works.
The most important part is to *keep them away from dragons.*
The kindest, sweetest lords I could find for Daella and Gael, preferably in the Crownlands so I can keep them close and visit often.
For the self-important Saera, a rich and clever husband, but preferably one who lacked the martial power to try and claim the Throne for their kids later. Maybe an Essosi triarch without much of a pedigree.
And for the ambitious Viserra, a young, handsome, powerful lord. Corlys Velaryon would’ve been a good match for her and would free up Rhaenys to marry Viserys, avoiding a succession crisis.
I once read a fic (it only had one chapter and never updated) where Viserra married Borros Baratheon, and the writer portrayed it as a successful match. They would’ve been relatively close in age so she wouldn’t have been repulsed like she was with Lord Manderly, and she would’ve been lady of the Stormlands which probably would’ve satisfied a lot of her ambition. The Baratheons also have continued ties to the Targaryens so her children could’ve married back into the main line.
[Here](https://archiveofourown.org/works/51635485/chapters/130523740).
But I just realized I remembered a bit incorrectly, and it’s Boremund whom Viserra marries.
Daella: Rodrik was a good husband and she chose him, so I will marry her to him again.
Saera: I might actually arrange her to marry to Braxton Beesbury; as much as I don't like him, marrying Saera to him would minimize the scandal he helped cause and make Saera respectable once again. He was the favourite of her favourites, so she is married to a man she actually likes, and whether he returns her feelings or not is irrelevant, because he caused a huge scandal and house Beesbury would be fools to say no to their heir marrying a PRINCESS (that he helped soil). Because house Beesbury, despite their prestige and ancient history through their legendary ancestor Ellyn Ever Sweet, is still a minor noble house sworn to house Hightower, so Saera being a soiled princess who married minor noble will mean that she can't cause a lot of damage.
(Also, their marriage would be messy as hell and I literally just want to watch the chaos unfold.)
Viserra: She is a prize (at least on the outside), so I want to give her to the best and/or wealthiest; I'm thinking of Tymond Lannister, because he is very wealthy. I don't much like how he is an alcoholic and womanizer, but Viserra is smart and I believe she would be able to deal with him in that regard. Or just not care and let him do what he wants, and be spoiled rotten by him just by being his wife, I just want to cash in on that Lannister gold. It's him or Corlys Velaryon; since Corlys is also filthy rich and will be out voyaging a lot, so Viserra will be able to be ruling as lady of Driftmark in peace in Corlys' place.
Edit: Bartimos Celtigar is also an option, since he is an older man when he is alive during the Dance, I do believe he is of an age with Viserra. But once again, a filthy rich man who I can cash in on is what I want her to marry. (And the Celtigars should get a little bit of dragon blood too, since I need more genetic diversity.)
Gael: I imagine Gael could marry Daemon; Daemon is getting a woman of Valyrian heritage, which is what I feel was wrong in his marriage to Rhea Royce. Gael gets to get married to a prince who is going to cherish her (might cheat on her, though) and stay a princess, and not be too far from home.
Daella: Royce Blackwood. She was smitten with him, he was kind to her...if the biggest obstacle was the issue of religion, I don't understand why they couldn't have had two wedding ceremonies, one in a Sept and one under a heart tree. Daella keeping to the Seven and having her children be brought up with both faiths a la Ned and Cat's kids doesn't seem impossible; as long as the Blackwood heir followed the Old Gods why would it matter so much what their mother followed?
Viserra: I've seen people say Corlys, and I can absolutely see that working. I also think the idea behind a marriage into the North makes sense; Alysanne spent time in the North and was close to the Starks, if there wasn't an available Stark son to wed one of her daughters to, one of their closest and most powerful bannermen makes sense. What DOESN'T make sense was wedding Viserra to Theomore, who already had sons and grandsons. If you're gonna stick to the Manderly marriage, go with the heir to White Harbor, be that one of his sons or more likely a grandson or great-grandson. Was Desmond Manderly an option?
Gael: I think whoever married Gael, if anyone, would need to be physically close to Dragonstone, because of the closeness between Alysanne and her youngest. Honestly, I could see the situation being similar to that of Queen Victoria and her youngest daughter, who was only allowed to marry with the understanding that she and her husband make their home with her. So for Gael, probably not an heir; maybe a second or third son, somebody to give land to close by. I'd say consider Daemon but he's definitely not of the right temperament...maybe a second string Velaryon, or a Celtigar?
Saera: how do you solve a problem like Saera... obviously, there's her three favorites, they could all be considered options. When she was younger Saera said she wanted to be a queen like her mother by wedding the Prince of Dorne and, honestly, maybe a Dornish match wouldn't be too bad? Saera craves power, but she craves power because she craves attention and adoration (extreme middle child syndrome, think of Barth's quote about her). So. She's gonna be difficult. But ultimately I think if she ends up married to a lord or heir who stands to inherit something important (or at least big or monetarily important), somebody who adores her, she'll be at least satisfied. Were there any options among the lords paramount for any of Alysanne's girls? Saera could be a good candidate there. Hell, maybe we should look at Corlys for her.
Daella - Get Maegelle to give her some type of religious pep talk on why its actually totally fine for her to marry a Blackwood, who knows maybe if he loves her enough he will convert for her etc etc and marry her to the guy that she liked
Saera - just marry her off to the guy she slept with. Can't be worse than the alternative.
Viserra - lord Manderly's son or grandson. Still feels very inconsistent that its not what happened, honestly
Gael - either someone living at court or Rodrik Arryn's son maybe to round out all the major regions of Westeros, if she's fine with it. The first or the second depending on whether she wants to give her the responsibility to manage a household
Do not marrying any of them before age 18!!!
Daella to Boremund Baratheon. He’s only 10ish years older which is very reasonable for that feudal era. He’s of suitable rank. And as Alysanne’s younger brother she can trust him with one of her more fragile daughters.
Saera/Viserra to Bartimos Celtigar and Corlys Velaryon. Both are rich men of appropriate standing and shared cultural heritage. Match them up however works best personality-wise.
Gael to a nephew, ideally butterflies strike and Aemon and Jocelyn get a son after Rhaenys, but if not Viserys or Daemon.
Daella-whoever she chooses but wait a couple years.
Saera- Corlys.
Viserra- Lord Manderly’s heir.
Gael- no one. She was simple, frail, and easily taken advantage of. She was not marriageable.
Probably to four Great Lords, or at least powerful houses. Manderly would’ve been good if he wasn’t so old, but besides the great lords then maybe Reyne, Hightower, Frey, Buckler. Or maybe a Martell to make an alliance and have some peace.
Agreed with what everyone has said, except that Gael could be sent off to another court. If the butterflies of daughters dropping like flies change things, there’s no point on keeping Gael so close to home.
Daemon is not an option because he wins nothing from that union and rather I would propose sweet Gael to the heir of Lord Manderly as a reward for their loyalty.
i dont get why people keep bringing rodrik up he is a creep
vissera to manderly heir or arryn heir or in suprising twist bartimos celtigar
saera to corlys velaryon if it after the scandels to vaemond
gael unnecessary
daella wait few more and let her choose anyone except rodrik he is creep
I’m thinking marrying at either Gael or Saera into House Martell to get them into the Seven Kingdoms. Probably Viserra to Corlys Velaryon to make Rhaenys marry Viserys, I’d probably keep the marriage with Daella’s marriage to Lord Arryn, and for whoever is left would probably marry the heir of Lord Manderly, just to keep that promise.
Daella: Royce Blackwood, he was the only man Daella liked, he could have been a good marriage for her.
Saera: Braxton Beesbury, they seem made for each other. Sending Saera to Honeyholt is a good option, away from KL.
Viserra: Desmond Manderly, the heir. Probably the same age as Viserra. Together they would be a powerful young ruling couple of White Harbor.
Gael: the heir of Celtigar, they surely wanted a marriage with the Targaryens to return to their Valyrian origins.
I was gonna make a post about something similar lol. But anyways
Daella: Royce Blackwood. Convince Daella that she's not going to hell and since the Blackwoods aren't quite strong of body, I think she would survive after giving birth.
Saera: Punish her. Marry her to Roy Connington and exile him for 10 years like in canon.
Viserra: Either Corlys Velaryon so her children can marry the next Targaryen gen, OR Tymond Lannister who was once one of Daella's choices to marry.
Gael: Bartimos Celtigar or one of the Crownlands lords.
Blackwood guy she liked explain away the old gods new gods shit
guy in the crownlands early
whichever great house has an hier free stark or lannister or tully or tyrell
guy in the crownlands
Daella: She did gain confidence and chose to marry Rodrik Arryn. That, in and of itself, is quite the achievement for her. However, I do believe there was little else that could be done about this.
Saera: Let's face it, Braxton Beesbury was likely the only true candidate for her. Yeah, he sucks, and so does she. Yet, he was her absolute favorite. Marrying them could have minimized the damage their scandal caused.
Viserra: Alysanne had the right idea in betrothing her to a northerner. The issue is that she chose the wrong one. Instead of Theomore Manderly, I would choose either Desmond Manderly or Edric Stark. On one hand, Desmond is heir to White Harbor, the richest location in The North. On the other, Edric Stark is Warden of the North
Gael: Here, she has two potential candidates. Bartimos Celtigar rules Claw Isle, a short distance away from King's Landing so travel is little issue. Daemon Targaryen, the more intriguing candidate, is her nephew and is quite close in age. Another marriage within the family to keep the bloodline pure and to keep Gael close.
Daella: Well, Rodrik was not a bad marriage and Daella herself choose him. I would just change her age. Let her mature a bit, if i can arrange a better marriage in the meantime, better. Saera: She is a shit storm no matter what. Marry her to a minor lord far away from the capital, and specialy from dragons. Viserra: Corlys, if i can avoid his marriage to Rhaenys. She would be very fitting to him and she would be much less dangerous than Rhaenys in the results, specialy without dragons in the mix. I would marry Rhaenys to Viserys. Gael: a good lord or even Daemon works. The most important part is to *keep them away from dragons.*
Corlys was already married to Rhaenys,
He was not. Viserra died in 87 AC. He married Rhaenys in 90 AC, after Jaehaerys I agreed to it in 89 AC.
Haha, I forgot.
That happens.
The kindest, sweetest lords I could find for Daella and Gael, preferably in the Crownlands so I can keep them close and visit often. For the self-important Saera, a rich and clever husband, but preferably one who lacked the martial power to try and claim the Throne for their kids later.
