Second Conquest by Dolphinsarcasm

Summary
The Second Targaryen Conquest of Westeros, otherwise known as the Conquest of 141 AC, is decidedly simple by the standards of wars or conquests, but has far more complicated origins that could be argued to stretch back as far as the First Conquest, but to avoid esoteric arguments I find it most practical to start with the year 106 AC.
Or: Rhaenyra runs away to Dragonstone before she is named heir. She still becomes Queen, it just takes a little longer.

Or: Helaena reacts differently after the Blood and Cheese incident.

Summary
Daemon Targaryen is many things. An honorable man is not not among them. He'd learned that on the bleak beaches of Bloodstone. Honor is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead. And wars are entirely too messy to be relied on.
An alternate version of part of s01e08 where Daemon and Rhaenyra only bring a young Prince Viserys to present to King Viserys and the question of the Driftmark succession happens later. Daemon has a second errand to attend to in the Red Keep.
