    Summary

    All Aegon has ever known is his mother's fear and rage, his father's cold indifference, and his grandfather's blind ambition. Unable to handle eternally falling short of their exceptions, or to face the threat of war on the horizon, he buries himself in his vices in order to cope, and waits for the world to be set aflame by the King's passing.

    Until Helaena gives him some advice that changes the course of his life, and the future: try and revive his old bond with his nephew, Jacaerys. If Aegon can convince him that he is no threat, then maybe Rhaenyra and the rest of the realm will believe it too.

    And if that means sneaking out to Dragonstone on Sunfyre? Learning more of his eldest sister and her family then he has ever before known? Realizing how kind and brave, smart and maybe even beautiful Jace is? And if those things together, shift the course of the Dance of Dragons, and House Targaryen forever?

    Well, who could have foreseen that?

    Or:

    Aegon accidentally joins the Blacks, falls in love, and fights a war, not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    It didn’t take long for her to realise her father was weaker in more than just his health and she would gain nothing from ruling like he did.

    Which is why it frustrates her when he barely questions the stupid decisions the queen consort makes, as if she is queen herself, like Rhaenyra will be. She cries sometimes when she realises she would rather death came for her father sooner. Still, she doesn’t think that what he has now can be considered living.

    Whispers and glares don’t bother her, but now that it comes in the form of insults towards her children, she can’t help but react. She is a dragon after all. And now a mother.

     

    or, Viserys is reminded that he is the King, and he needs to protect his heir and future queen a bit better. This focus on Rhaenyra's journey into improving her game of politics, as she goes to remind people that slander and treason are crimes, that Arryn and Baratheon genes can be in play, and perceived hereditary traits matters not when genetics is not yet a field of study. With the help of her husband, Rhaenyra is set to gain new allies, both outside the Keep, but also, within her own family.

    Summary

    “There’s blood on your lies
    The sky’s open wide
    There is nowhere for you to hide”

    Jacaerys Velaryon was tired. He was seven and ten, and the feud between his family has gone on long enough.
    He knows his mother aches to reach out to her siblings, with Aegon already one and twenty, Helaena nine and ten, Aemond at eight and ten, and Daeron of an age with Jace, she believes she is too late.
    She just needs a nudge in the right direction.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Brilliantly Jace centric. Dragons thriving. And Old Town reaps all its consequences.

    Summary

    They’d find him, crown him, make him king. Aegon realized one thing : sometimes, the best way to avoid something wasn’t to fight it. It was to go with the flow of events.
