    Summary

    "In the midst of her cries, she could see the servants looking at her as they passed, some with sadness, others more shocked at the scene than anything. She was able to hear one of the stableboys say to the other, not too loudly but loud enough that she managed to hear it, “She’s gone mad.” Aelora agreed. If she wasn’t mad already, the guilt of what she did would drive her to such a state soon enough."

    Through the course of his reign, King Aerys I recognized a total of four heirs: his younger brother Rhaegel who died choking on a pie, then Rhaegel's son Aelor, who was accidentally killed by his twin sister-wife Aelora, who became the next heir, though mad with grief she would eventually kill herself, and lastly his youngest brother Maekar, who would eventually succeed him.

    This AU explores a scenario where Aelora doesn't kill herself and outlives her uncle, becoming queen.

    Summary

    "Let us leave it all behind and see the world together, where we'll be nameless and free. Free to go where we like, to love as we like. In Essos, you could marry me. A marriage for love, not for the crown."

    In one world Rhaenyra refuses, reminding her shield that she is the Crown.
    In this one she does not.

    Years later forgotten duty calls her home as the kingdom is threatened to be torn apart by the civil war.

    Summary

    As they flew, Rhaenys watched her granddaughter. Her curls had been blown free from their pins, streaming in the wind, and she had raised a hand to idly trace the underside of a cloud. A sudden desperation seized her. If Corlys died, Baela would be one of the last two things binding her to this life.

    Rhaenys shook her head, discarding the feeling, and settled in her saddle. There were three things that she had absolute faith in: Meleys, her husband, and that it would be Baela who would inherit the Driftwood Throne, even if it killed Rhaenys to put her there.

    Rhaenys pushes for Baela's claim during the Driftmark succession crisis and finds herself sharing common ground with Alicent Hightower and her strange, half-Targaryen children. As war seizes the realm, Rhaenys, Baela, and Rhaena must navigate House Velaryon to safety, fighting alongside the people always believed to be their enemy.
