Summary
Hermione has always been a warrior for the Light. But when an attempt to salvage more than a Pyrrhic victory lands her in 1944, she quickly realizes that sometimes it is best to allow a lesser evil to flourish, because defeating it only creates the conditions for a greater one to rise. With conspiracies, schemes, and difficult choices in every corner, and a charismatic young Tom Riddle who is increasingly interested in her, she will eventually have to answer the question: How much darkness and grey in him can she accept?

Summary
Aerion heard the frantic voices of his Father, shouting out his name amidst the trial. He wanted to answer, wanted to call back, but pain consumed him whole and the world turned completely, utterly dark.
When he opened his eyes, and the darkness broke, his father was nowhere to be found. Aerion woke up all alone in a place he did not recognize.
A place full of ruins and ashes.
Unaware that years had slipped away between the moment his eyes closed and the moment they opened once more.

Summary
Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.
But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.
As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.
