Summary
She closes her eyes, her heart squeezing, and the sound of the bells fades, the smell of smoke and ash in the air disappearing. Those whispers from earlier fall silent— Viserys, the Northmen, Sansa, her father. Everyone who doubted her, everyone who called her mad. They disappear, leaving in their place other words.
"The people that follow you know you made something impossible happen. Maybe that helps them believe that you can make other impossible things happen." Jon’s voice echoes in her mind, his words from so long ago caught there, making her heart clench. "But if you use those dragons to melt castles and burn cities, you’re not different. You’re just more of the same." She squeezes her eyes closed tighter, lets his words wash over her, feels the truth ring through them. He’s right, she knows. He was right back then, and he is right now. It doesn’t matter if these people hate her, if they don’t deserve her mercy. She will give it to them anyways. They are innocent, and she will save them, because that is what she does. That is what she has always done.
Her own words echo in her head. "I will not be queen of the ashes."
No. She will not be. She will not see this city burn any more than it already has.

Summary
“Let me come with you,” he says, voice soft. Her heart leaps, pounding in her chest, and she wants nothing more in the world than to give in, to melt into his embrace before running away with him. But she is not entirely sure that is what Jon wants.
“Are you sure?” she asks him, already bracing herself for disappointment. “All of your family is here.”
“Dany, you’re my family.” His voice is impossibly gentle, and she lets him tug her into his arms, press his forehead against hers. She exhales shakily in his embrace, hardly daring herself to believe he means it. “I’m going to try, remember?”
“Okay,” she says, nodding. She revels in the warmth of his touch, the hope blossoming in her chest at his promise.

Summary
A screech echoes through the sky as they reach the sand, and Dany looks up, smiling as her first child circles above, landing on the beach with a ground-shaking thud.
“Drogon!” Lya and Torrhen yell, racing towards the dragon. He tosses his great head in the air, before lowering down until his head is practically resting against the sand, eyes sliding closed contently as the children stroke his snout. Jon puts Aly down as well, chuckling as she tears across the beach on her tiny legs, nearly crashing into Drogon in her eagerness.
Dany’s heart hums happily as Jon takes her hand, leading her across the sand, Ghost following behind him. Seeing all her children together warms her inside, heart flooding with affection as Drogon blows hot breath at the three of them.
