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
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
She followed his lead, got to her knees and lit a candle. Ran her fingers through the flame and let her shoulders slump.
She turned to him, mouth flat. “What will you pray for?”
He looked at her, hair darker than the flame, the bump of his nose small. He said nothing, but he never looked away. It was enough.
✹
The hate gets suffocating after a time, threatens to choke her between the silks of her bed and let the meat from her bones rot until she is unrecognizable. Hating the Queen has made Rhaenyra into a different person, more dragon than girl, her skin turning from satin to scales. Hating her half-brother has made her into a tyrant, willing to kill a babe if it meant the threat of disinheritance would disappear.
But hating the Queen’s brother, it has made her so much worse.

As the princess travels through the Seven Kingdoms, the past and future of Westeros unfolds before her like a scroll, revealing prophecies that will shape the future of House Targaryen.

Summary
"And Otto Hightower was always whispering to Viserys' ear about all of us"
She was not wrong. Otto Hightower spoke against Corlys and Daemon at every turn. He spoke against everyone but his mediocre house. His own trickery would bring his downfall, after all it had been him who suggested to name Rhaenyra heir in his stead. And by doing so he prevented his own grandson from inheriting. It was better that way. For everyone, but Otto and his family. And definitely better for Daemon and his bloodline. Rhaenyra would prove easily manipulated, by him at least. It had always been so, ever since she was a babe. And he could always wed her.
It would be the best match for her, and for him. But his brother would not allow it. Not without some subtle conviction. Luckily for him, his brother was easily manipulated.
"Well, he cannot whisper into his ear any longer, now that he is in Oldtown" Daemon smirked.
Just after the news of the Highwhore birthing a half-breed for his brother, came the news of Otto's exile. He had cackled when he heard of it. It brightened his day.
"Indeed. Though I wonder, who would whisper into his ear now?"
Daemon winked at his cousin, for they both knew the answer.

Summary
And even if getting Rhaenyra in as a soloist was a staggering show of nepotism, she was still the best concert pianist on the planet. It was like when Dmitri Junior recorded Shostakovich’s second. You could get mad about it for a bit, but it was ultimately fair game. Alicent had already reached all these conclusions because Viserys had spoken to her weeks ago about programming the Concerto, which only had the unwanted effect of giving her time to turn it over in her brain like a particularly nauseating Rubix cube. Each solution of the puzzle led her to the same conclusion: she would be seeing Rhaenyra imminently, and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do about it.
After ten years apart, Rhaenyra Targaryen re-enters Alicent's life for a set of solo engagements with her orchestra. Things go about as well as expected (not very).

Guides and the Charges that Ignore Them by CEPetriWrites
Her father is determined to make her the next Queen of Westeros, pushing her to "comfort the king" during his time of grief. Alicent knows if his plan succeeds it'll cost her her best friend, so she comes up with a solution: she needs to have sex.
Daemon Targaryen is one of the only men at court who is whorish (and dumb) enough to deflower the Lord Hand's only daughter. Unfortunately for Alicent, it does not occur to her until afterwards that fucking your best friend's uncle is not much better than fucking her father. Now Alicent is scrambling for a way to tell Rhaenyra what she's done in a manner that won't ruin their friendship. It would be a lot easier if the sex had been a one time thing...

Work 2: chapter 6[“Why, if you were so desperate to have yourself sullied, did you not chose literally anyone else? Why not someone respectable like a Baratheon?”
Alicent sucks her teeth, “Their men are really clingy, it’s so obnoxious. I smiled at one in passing once and he wrote me twenty-eight sonnets.”
“Seven hells. That’s too many sonnets… a Lannister?”
She scoffs, “I was not desperate!” The Lannisters are overtly smug, he thinks. “Besides I can not imagine either twin being so generous.”
“What?”
“I can’t picture any of them eating cunt.”
“Out!”
“But-”
“No! I’m done!”
“At least promise to wash your face!” Lady Alicent says as he closes the door after her. The knight promptly downs a quarter of a bottle of wine, attempting to treat his headache.]

Summary
When Vaella finds out exactly where and when she got reincarnated, she forms a plan to ensure that Team Black would win and the rightful queen would sit the Iron Throne.
That plan would be a lot easier to follow if everyone on Team Green wasn't so honorable, and rational, and kind.
And if Team Black wasn't.... well....
Would it be too cruel to say 'full of horrible people that Vaella wouldn't willingly associate with in any other circumstance'?

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🖤💚
