Summary
Alicent knew what her father wanted, and knew what could happen if she went directly against his wishes. However, she could never betray her friend in such a way and continued to push the king and Rhaenyra to reconcile after the tragic death of Queen Aemma. However, her father is not the only one who sees Alicent as a pawn to be used within House Targaryen.
Wishing to reconcile with his brother and have him back for his wedding to the very young Laena Velaryon, King Viserys orders his brother back to King’s Landing with the promise of the one thing Daemon wanted more than the throne: an annulment from his wife Rhea Royce. However, upon his return, Daemon learns that his brother has another bride already lined up for him: Lady Alicent Hightower.
The tentative strings of a song have been plucked and a dance is about to begin. The color of some of the players may have changed, but the song must be played for destiny is a terrible thing and dreams are not always as they seem. -

Summary
With Balon's Rebellion finally defeated after more than three and a half years of fighting, the realm patches up its wounds. But as the great victory tourney approaches in King's Landing to celebrate the victory, things unravel in the background.
The North, Vale and Riverlands still do not conceal their hate for the Targaryen dynasty. The Westerlands, broken and humiliated, look to Tywin's handship to bring them back on top. The Reach, which has somewhat suffered, stands unchallenged. The Stormlands slowly slip away from Rhaegar. Dorne stands in the shadows, playing its own game. The Iron Islands face Tywin's wrath, defeat and despair. Prince Viserys, the true victor of the war, has secluded himself to voice his opposition to his brother's recent actions. And, finally, in the background, the Faith feels betrayed and insulted and prepares its own plans...Series

Summary
This story began with two questions.
Why was Alicent Hightower never quite bold enough to refuse her marriage to Viserys and stand against her father?
And why was Daemon Targaryen never quite clever enough to expose Otto Hightower's schemes before it was too late?
But what if they had been?
What if Alicent chose differently?
What if Daemon acted sooner?
What if House Hightower and House Targaryen were bound together long before the Dance?
After all, when fire joins with the wind, it does not burn less fiercely.
It spreads. -

Summary
War changed men. Through fire and blood, through the fog of war and the death of his friends, Eddard Stark had seen the last vestiges of his battered faith burnt to ash. Faith in Gods, faith in men.
He couldn’t keep his eyes closed after that, regardless of how much he desired to.
No more.
Eddard Stark was done believing in the vain pretences of honour and virtue.
He would not repeat the same mistakes that had led his father and his brother to an early grave. He would keep what little family remained to him safe by all means necessary, the Others take his honour.
The Gods would understand, Ned hoped.
That is, if they even cared.
Or:
In the aftermath of the Rebellion, Eddard Stark plays the game of thrones, and he intends to win. Far-reaching and unexpected butterflies ensue. This is their story.
A monster-dong, long-runner of a story.
Not a fix-it fic.

Summary
It has been several years since the destructive Blackfyre War was won. The Seven Kingdoms have slowly rebuilt itself into an uneasy peace, led by King Rhaegar and Prince Viserys. House Targaryen begins to find itself divided as Prince Aegon's horrifying mutilation prevents him from siring an heir. In the North, Lord Eddard Stark has removed himself from the southern politics and focused on his family, while allowing his son and heir, Robb, to fulfill the duties of Warden of the North. In the Westerlands, Princess Rhaenys plots with Tywin to secure her childrens future as dragons, and across the Narrow Sea, Myrcella Lannister has thrived.
However, the ancient forces that pulled the strings of the Blackfyre War are pleased with the outcome and continue to move and plot, while in the Far East, a lost wolf navigates a foreign and unknown world.
