Summary
Inspired by the ‘time travel revenge’ manwha trope, this story begins several years after the Dance. The former queen, Alicent, sits in confinement and full of regret, waiting for death. That is until she’s given a chance to go back in time to the year she married King Viserys and do it all over. With every intention of changing her fate, she might well be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as she is impeded at every turn by a familiar face who has received their own second chance.

Summary
Alicent Hightower was once a Queen.
She had fierce sons, a beautiful daughter, and everything else she could have hoped for. Until the Dance of the Dragons dragged her children one by one from her. Then her lord father, her brother, and everyone else she cared about. Alone, mind shattered in grief and anger, Alicent Hightower, the Queen in chains, eventually passed away in 133 AC.
Passing away felt like slumber; it was supposed to be an endless slumber. But it ended, and she woke up in her own body at the age of four-and-ten. Addled with grief, shock and anger, Alicent vowed to murder Rhaenyra Targaryen; the woman who was the reason why her family was desecrated.
But there was no Rhaenyra in this life. There was, instead, Prince Rhaegel Targaryen; a Prince of five-and-ten. A flesh woven from Rhaenyra's soul.
[In which book!Alicent Hightower died and her soul was transferred to show!Alicent at the start of House of the Dragon, with Rhaenyra as King Viserys Targaryen and his consort Aemma Arryn's only surviving child... Which happened to be a male and an heir in this life.]

The Hightower's Dragon by Valyrianimagination

Summary
What if Alicent had not been so pious, and did not heed her father's warnings about Daemon Targaryen? What if she did not keep a grip on her passions? What if the King's children were not trueborn but bastards?
Daemon loved no one but himself. That was what he believed. But it was a lie. A green lie.
Aegon, son of Alicent, was the truthful heir to the throne. And Daemon would see that he ascends the Iron Throne.
A twisted love story🖤💚
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story is different from the original, although most characters are the ones from canon.

Summary
"The Queen ordered me, I fear I have no choice"
The Prince hummed.
"And you are obedient, I see"
His dark eyes were setting aflame her blood. She could feel the warmth, the burn, travelling through her body.
"Is that a bad thing, My Prince?" she dared speak, voice raspy.
"Not at all, Lady Alicent"
That was the last thing he said before disappearing inside the Queen's apartments. Then, she heard more laughter.

Bookmark Notes:
Even if the child was born healthy, nothing guaranteed that it would be a boy. Most of Aemma's miscarriages had been girls, as with the stillbirths. The only boy had been Jaehaerys, who died in his cradle before turning a moon turn. Aemma had been broken by his death, and the pieces of her shattered into more tiny pieces with each child she lost.
"I shall pray for that"
He would pray for a girl, a healthy girl, to remain the Heir of the Iron Throne.
But even in the rare case of the child being a healthy boy, he would still have Driftmark and the Stepstones.
The door was open with no care for permission not knocking, and his dear niece entered the Queen's Apartments with the Hightower bird trailing after her with her eyes down.

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.
Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen does not want to marry, even if she did, she demands a prince—one who can offer more than the dull promise of stewardship.Her father Viserys Targaryen turns to Otto Hightower to resolve the matter. In response, Otto sends a raven to his brother, urging him to send his son Gwayne, to unite their houses at last.
But Rhaenyra never bargained for Gwayne—the brutish knight of the Hightowers of Oldtown, as wild and untamed as the bay he commands. She may find that in him, she discovers everything she never knew she craved.

Summary
Princess Visenya Targaryen, the one and only direct descendant of Queen Visenya Targaryen. In contrast to her namesake's personality, she was considered to be the entertainment of the court and highborns, a joy to be around, often performing and cracking jokes for the crowd. She was favoured by the King Viserys I for her quick wit to humour, chaotic attitude, and ability to entertain.. so the king thought it would be a good idea to marry her, a princess of her own right, to his firstborn son, Prince Aegon..
