    Summary

    “Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”

    Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”

    “And the Queen.”

    The smile drops from her face.

     

    OR

    [Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.

    Summary

    Shauna Shipman has her first (and God willing, last) kid at seventeen years old. Her parents raise Callie while she goes off to Brown. "Until you can support her," they say again and again.

    And then college is over, and Shauna is back in town, trying to reconnect with the four-year-old daughter she barely knows. She's not sure she can support herself, let alone Callie.

    But it just so happens Shauna knows Callie's Pre-K teacher pretty well already. Or did, anyway. Back before everything blew up.

    "Miss Taylor," Callie calls her.

    Frankly, Jackie is a lot better with kids than Shauna is.

    Summary

    Almost a hundred years after the war, a young maester discovers seven entries from a charred journal that once belonged to the Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower, whose fate, along with that of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, had previously been lost to history. By all accounts, the pair fled during the riots of King’s Landing and were never seen in Westeros again. The mystery of their disappearance has been deliberated for decades, but no theory has come close to the truth.

    For Alicent Hightower Appreciation Week 2024.

    Summary

    Viserys dies when Aegon is a mere seven years of age and Lyonel Strong serves as Hand. The courtiers move on, making ready to welcome the queen, while Alicent and her children become relics of the past.

    Alicent has one goal only: Get her children out of King's Landing before one of Rhaenyra's supporters kills them to win favor with her.

    Rhaenyra has a different goal: To win Alicent's trust, and a second chance at the love she once sacrificed for duty. (And, let's be real, the army of the only faction that has been actively preparing for war.)

    Or: That Dance where the Greens and the Blacks have exactly one battle-ready dragon between them, and they better team up before the rest of Westeros realizes this, too.

    (main story complete with chapter 9, extras following)
