โPrince Daemon Targaryen swung a leg over his saddle and leapt from one dragon to the other.โ
โRhaenyra Targaryen had time to raise her head toward the sky and shriek out one last curse upon her half-brother.โ
they both served cunt until their dying breaths
"On Dragonstone, Princess Rhaenyra was once again great with child. She too took to her bed, with her husband the Rogue Prince ever at her side."
- The Rogue Prince
โBy all rights, the year 122 AC should have been a joyous one for House Targaryen. Princess Rhaenyra took to the birthing bed once more, and gave her uncle Daemon a second son, named Viserys after his grandsire.โ
- Fire & Blood
One year ago today Daemon and Rhaenyra gave us the hottest scene in television history when they kissed for the first time in episode 4 of House of the Dragon.
โRhaenyra insisted she was in love with her uncle and pleaded [โฆ] for leave to marry him. King Viserys would not hear of it. In his wroth, he confined his daughter to her chambers, told his brother to depart, and commanded both of them never to speak of what had happened.โ
thinking about when rhaenyra asked daemon โyouโre to have a child?โ and he told her โone day.โ then one day came and they had those children together.
โone of the chief pillars of support for rhaenyraโs claim was her consort, yet prince daemon represented one of her greatest weaknesses as well.โ

โone man at least was thrilled by the decrees, for dragonstone and driftmark lay quite close to one another, and this proximity would allow daemon targaryen ample opportunity to comfort his niece, princess rhaenyra, unbeknownst to the king.โ

โit was matt smith, in a turn of fucking genius, who offered the idea that daemon should give rhaenyra the news while we're both walking away from camera, towards the fireplace. it was a sublime choice, and i could see it instantly.โ

โit allowed me to understand a different sort of authenticity to daemon [โฆ] he's a different person in that language [high valyrian]. and i was like, 'oh, that's who he is at his core.' and the fact that he speaks it only to rhaenyra is really telling.โ

โAs the year waned, she brought forth a small but robust son, a pale princeling with dark purple eyes and pale silvery hair. She named him Aegon. Prince Daemon had at last a living son of his own blood.โ

Geeta Patel on Daemon and Rhaenyraโs relationship in episode 8:
โWhen two people have fought so long to be together, there is a sensuality, there is a honeymoon period. Itโs almost sexier than sex, to just love each other so much and to be so excited to be near each other.โ
โdaemonโs devotion and obedience comes from love not duty, he always rebelled against duty. itโs not the queen he kneels to, itโs his wife.โ

โdaemonโs a complicated guy, but heโs not a monster. i mean, this is his family. he does love his family, particularly loves rhaenyra. and look, his brother is shattered, and i think he justโ he feels for them.โ
ryan condal on daemon in episode one
โdaemon only wanted rhaenyra because of the throneโ meanwhile he doted on her before she was named heir, even considering himself heir at the time. he thought of her on his travels, as he would always bring back gifts for her. his love was familial before it was romantic.

whatever you do donโt think about how daemon was most likely planning to place one of those eggs in baby visenyaโs cradleโฆ you can see the genuine joy and excitement on his face
Daemon and Rhaenyra will be at Harrenhal together in episode 8 of HOTD season 2.
Recent leaks indicate they will share a scene underneath a weirwood tree, the same tree upon which Daemon will later slash marks that โbleed afresh every springโ after receiving Rhaenyraโs letter.
โDaemon Targaryen walked the cavernous halls of Harrenโs seat alone. [โฆ] Each night he slashed the heart tree in the godswood to mark the passing of another day.โ
โHer Grace walked the castle battlements of Duskendale weeping. [โฆ] She could not sleep and would not eat.โ
