fuck yeah Rhaegar & Lyanna
This tumblr is dedicated to Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryenfrom George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series.
Lyanna was betrothed to Robert Baratheon, who was infatuated with her. Lyanna was not as ardent in her love for Robert, and was aware of his philandering ways. However, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen crowned her Queen of Love and Beauty after winning the Harrenhal tourney, passing over his wife, the Dornish princess Elia. The exact nature of her relationship with Rhaegar is not presently clear, but shortly thereafter she and Rhaegar disappeared together, which her fiancé Robert and older brother Brandon treated as a non-consensual abduction. Their anger over the event led to Brandon's execution by King Aerys and Robert's Rebellion. Eddard and six companions went to rescue Lyanna from the "Tower of Joy". They fought three Kingsguard knights; who slew all but Eddard and Howland Reed. Eddard found Lyanna dying. Her last words to Ned Stark were, "Promise me, Ned". She was buried in the ancestral crypts of Winterfell. A theory claims that Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen. Howland Reed, who accompanied Ned to the Tower of Joy and from there to Starfall, is believed to be the only living character to know the truth. →

“Lyanna was beautiful,” Arya said, startled. Everybody said so. It was not a thing that was ever said of Arya.
“She was,” Eddard Stark agreed, “beautiful, and willful, and dead before her time.”

The dragon prince sang a song so sad it made the wolf maid sniffle but when her pup brother teased her for crying she poured wine over his head
