    Summary

    “My king,” The knight lowered himself to his knees, hands trembling and white cloak pooling at his feet. He looked nervously around the room and spoke in little more than a whisper. “There’s… something in the dungeon.”

    In which a child's wish and a whisper of blood-magic inadvertently resurrects a disgraced queen and her golden dragon beneath the Red Keep. [Baelor/Rhaenyra]

    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

    In the tenth year of the reign of King Viserys I, a strange malady befell both his queen and his daughter. Queen Aemma Arryn was the first to sicken, seized by a fever so violent that her ladies feared she would be lost before dawn. Before a day had passed the princess was stricken by the very same heat.

    For three days and three nights the court was cloaked in terror. The king kept vigil beside his wife and child in turn, unwilling to leave either chamber for long, while the maesters whispered of humors and contagion but found no sure cure. Prayers were spoken at every hour, and more than one lord muttered that House Targaryen’s line stood on the edge of ruin.

    Yet as suddenly as it had come upon them, the fever broke. On the morning of the fourth day, Queen Aemma called for water, and not long after Princess Rhaenyra asked for food. Both rose from their beds as if nothing at all had passed between life and death, pale but unharmed, as though the sickness had been no more than a shadow fleeting across their shared blood.

    Summary

    Laenor knew he was the last person Corlys Velaryon wanted for a son.

    “I claimed Vermithor last night.” He dipped his bread in his egg yolk and scarfed it down.

    “What?”

    Reincarnated war-casualty wakes up as Laenor Velaryon with no knowledge of House of the Dragon, but an uncanny ability to see glimpses of the near future. A day before leaving for war in the stepstones, Laenor claims Vermithor as his dragon.

    He’s been through war before. He isn’t looking forward to going through another one.

    Summary

    “Have you heard of changelings, Líle?”

    Lily tightened her hold on little Harry, wrapped snugly in his favourite blanket and carried in the crook of her arm. She looked the old washerwoman in the eye and bared her teeth in some semblance of a smile.

    Unbeknownst to many, the Potters have an old relationship with some unlikely Folk of Godric's Hollow, specifically the Good Neighbours from the woods beyond the little village. One day in October, as Samhain and their impending death approached, Lily Potter went to the Neighbours to seek protection for Harry, and the course of history is changed.
