    Summary

    The Maesters talk of winds from Valyria blowing over, the hot ash from the still raging fires imprisoned in the downpour and clouds, an anger of a dead civilisation carrying rot in the rain. Alerie Targaryen is born in this strange summer storm. She dreams of another as a child. One where a man with no nose kills her in a forest, where she dies alone surrounded by ghosts.

    It doesn't make much sense to the young Targaryen Princess, but she thinks it might if she could find the right twig.

    Or; There's a reason why rumours spread of some Hightowers having dabbled in alchemy and necromancy.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra was alone. Her best friend married her father, her uncle was at the Stepstones doing what Daemon Targaryen does best, wreck havoc, and her mother was dead. She had no one but her dear friend Syrax. She was not yet Rhaenyra the Cruel, as history would remember her. She was just a scared girl, fighting for her place in the world. What if the gods took pity on her? Not the Seven who are one, nor the old gods, but the Valyrian ones. They have seen what the future holds and are most displeased with the outcome. Rhaenyra was their champion. The Queen of Dragons. Enraged, they decided to act against the other deities involved.

    Or

    After their deaths, both Baelor and Maekar are sent back in time, into an age where dragons still roamed the skies, and meet a young Rhaenyra Targaryen on the brink of collapsing. How far will they go to ensure prosperity for their house?

    Summary

    If Dalton Greyjoy learned nothing from his fostering on Driftmark, he at least learned that he loved Lucerys Velaryon. The love between an Ironborn and a princess, however, is not one that was ever going to be accepted by anyone: her family, the realm, nor the gods.

    But Lucerys had a siren song that could stretch across the open seas, no matter the distance, to enchant and bewitch Dalton, and no force could tear those two apart.

     

    Or fem!Lucerys doesn't die over Shipbreaker Bay. Instead, an amnesic woman wakes up in Lys days later. Dalton can't help but to find her.

    Summary

    When asked in the past by curious sons of what happens when a person dies, Baelor Targaryen sat them down and patiently explained that the Faith of the Seven teaches them that the righteous are blessed in the Seven Heavens as long as they lead a virtuous life and repent for any sin committed. He had never questioned it himself.

    Falling to a blow by his brother's mace while defending what was right, even against his own family, Baelor should have been feasting in the Father's golden hall and waiting until the moment he would be reunited with his family. That did not happen.

    Instead, the former Prince of Dragonstone woke up far from home and everyone he knew, though the faces he found himself among were not unfamiliar to him. But what does it mean to find yourself in the pages of your family's own history books?

    Summary

    Ten years after the wedding of Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen, the ancestral home of the Targaryen family has been flourishing under the leadership and protection of its Lady Paramount and her steadfast Lord Consort.

    The true dragons have thrived without the chains of King's Landing and are joined in the skies by their many hatchlings - children who only know love and support from their large family. They have two grandsires in the form of Ser Harrold and Ser Ben; an uncle to play with in Arthur Arryn; a fun Aunt in Alyssa Targaryen and her chaos twins as cousins; and the grumpy Archmaester Vaegon and kind Rhaella to teach them.

    Everything was peaceful... until King Viserys I Targaryen decided to visit Dragonstone in an attempt to bring his family together.

    --

    The King and his family show up unannounced on Dragonstone only to find themselves unwelcomed and surrounded by dragons who do not forget and who have certainly not forgiven them.
