    Summary

    [ ᴀᴜ - ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴꜱ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴᴇᴅ ]

    Naerys Targaryen was the sole child born of the ill-starred union between Prince Daemon Targaryen, called the Rogue Prince, and Lady Rhea Royce of Runestone, a marriage marked more by discord than affection. In her, the blood of Old Valyria mingled with that of the First Men, joining two ancient and proud lineages.

    During the later years of King Viserys I’s reign, concerns over succession grew ever more pressing. His heir, Prince Baelon, was of frail health, and the influence of Queen Alicent Hightower and her kin at court gave rise to quiet unease. Fearing that ambition might one day outweigh loyalty, the king took measures to secure his line.

    It was thus decreed that his second-born son, Prince Aegon, should wed his cousin Naerys. The match served both to bind the blood of House Targaryen more closely and to remove the young prince from the intrigues of King’s Landing. Aegon was to be sent to the Vale, there to be granted lands and a seat befitting his birth, under the watch of House Royce.

    So did Viserys seek to preserve the peace of his Realm: honoring one son, while safeguarding another from the perils of courtly ambition.

    Summary

    Modern PhD student in political science drops into Westeros circa 114 AC, already knowing exactly how the Dance of the Dragons plays out. Armed with encyclopedic canon knowledge, she spends eight years quietly building an estate empire and bonding with the Cannibal before arriving at court as Daemon Targaryen's long-neglected wife. Her goal: use her outsider's foreknowledge to engineer a negotiated peace that sidesteps the war entirely — one careful political relationship at a time. The slow burn is with Daemon, who left after the wedding and comes back to find a stranger has become someone formidable.

    Summary

    There's something wrong with Berylla Brax... everyone's heard of the accident. How she'd fallen going to break her fast and hadn't woken for nearly a moon's turn. When she did wake up Lady Berylla came back different. Quiet, observant, intense in a way she hadn't been before.

    As she watches the Berylla wipe blood off of her stolen sword Elia supposes she should be thankful for the oddities of her savior.

    A Low-Effort Account of High-Stakes Nonsense

    Holly is done with saving the world. After a war, funeral after funeral, and one unfortunate wish made to a magical room with no sense of boundaries, she ends up somewhere very far from home—and very much someone else’s problem.

    Now she runs a not-entirely-legal bakery in a city where flour is political, dragons are supposed to be terrifying (hers is the size of a teacup), and minding your own business is practically a crime. She’s got no interest in thrones, titles, or noble nonsense.

    Which is exactly why the nobles won’t leave her alone.

    All Holly wants is to survive, stay unimportant, and keep her pastry case full. But when a certain highborn woman starts showing up for tea, Holly finds herself dragged—reluctantly—into court gossip, royal secrets, and a mess big enough to topple a kingdom.

    She didn’t come here to change the world. But the world keeps showing up at her door.

    Summary

    “When will I marry the prince?” Cersei asked, proudly straightening her shoulders. She had no doubt about the witch’s answer.

    “You should have asked different questions,” Maggy the Frog cackled, her shrill laughter shaking the tent. “Never. You will marry a lord. But will it be you?”

    That night, not only did Melara Hetherspoon die, but Cersei Lannister as well. And her eyes opened to someone entirely else.

    Summary

    Archmaester Vaegon chose death as his family and dynasty were fading to fire and blood. Nearly seven decades to his life, regrets and revelations made heartaches came to a hilt as the Dance of the Dragons raged. The dying of the dragons began long before— the deaths of his siblings all piling losses that had led them to the dawn of war.

    He had went his own route in life, detached and separated from the den of a home he couldn't fit in to. He left his family name behind, but no distance nor denial could prepare him for the grief of watching the withering of his notorious, inescapable siblings as well as their legacy.

    And inescapable, they were— arcanely so. When the death he chose does not consume him to darkness, and the path of light returns him to the days before he took his maester's vows, he is faced with his family again, and a chance at preventing their doom.

    Female Tywin Lannister. Started as a fun what-if and grew from there.

    *

    "That had better be a jape," The cold words were jarring from the pretty ten year old, and caught the attention of the hall immediately. Silence fell. Tytos opened his mouth, but Tya cut him off. "You've betrothed me - your firstborn child - to the second son of the Lord of the Crossing?"

    There was a mocking, incredulous note to her voice.

    "Well Tya, Lord Frey asked very courteously - it would have been most insulting to have refused him,"

    "He asked courteously?" Tya raised an eyebrow. "Is that all it takes now? Should Genna fear being betrothed to the son of that kennel-master knight, if he asks nicely enough?"

    *

    "Why did you have to do this, Tya?" Her father moaned. "Return Lord Walderan to his family at once, with our sincerest apologies! Forgiving his all his debts should be the least we do to make amends,"

    The look Tya gave Lord Tytos was fit to reduce him to a pile of ash.

    "I was planning on returning Tarbeck to his family in three pieces,"

    Summary

    On a random spring day, in the early morning, Alicent Hightower fell from her horse after attempting to jump. The fall would render her unconscious for most of the day; her best friend, the princess Rhaenyra, was absolutely bereft, never leaving her side until she woke up. The lady Alicent was declared physically fit and recovered well, aside from one small issue. She could hardly recall past events from the last three months, which was quite unfortunate for the lady, when her moonblood failed to come the following month.

    Alyssa believed House Royce was happily rid of Targaryens after Jeyne Arryn sent Rhea's overgrown cave worm of a husband skulking from the Eyrie, denying his claim to Runestone. In the years following her cousin's passing, Alyssa's troubles numbered few around the lovely old heap of stone called home...until a letter arrived.

    The rest, as the maesters would one day write, is history.

    Summary

    "Is this some kind of joke?" I whispered in shock, my voice trembling as I stared at the reflection in the ornate mirror before me. Well, her mirror. The polished silver showed a face I knew all too well—just not my own. Pale skin, a cascade of silver-gold hair, and violet eyes that could only belong to one person.

    "Who the hell did I piss off to become her? The Black Queen?" My words were almost a growl as I gripped the edges of the vanity, the cold metal biting into my fingers.

    That's right. One moment, I was just me, heading home after another long day, and the next... a car came out of nowhere. I don’t even remember the impact, not really. It was too fast. No flashes of light, no angelic choirs—just darkness. And then I was here.

    The next thing I knew, a maid was shaking me awake, her voice trembling with reverence as she called me Princess Rhaenyra.

    Yeah. That Rhaenyra. The Black Queen herself. The one and only Maegor with tits.

    Summary

    Daemon is furious, but never furious enough to hurt her, she thinks. Her eyes still red from grieving, she meets his gaze in a dark corridor, where they say their final tense farewell, unbeknownst to her father the King. She wishes desperately to hate Daemon, but knows she never will.

    Before he leaves, he takes her by her slight shoulders, a rough and steady grip.

    "Listen to me, Rhaenyra, and listen well," he says. She does. "You may be the heir now, but you are a woman. He will marry again, she will give him sons, and your claim will be contested." She wants to protest childishly that her father will never stop grieving mother, but he shushes her. "You need to make your siblings love you, as I have always loved Viserys, enough that they will never think to turn on you, no matter how they have been robbed of being in succession for the throne. Because otherwise, and mark my words, they will have you killed or discredited when they are old enough."

    He releases her, and she stumbles back, frightened of the intensity in his voice. "Farewell, niece," he says.
