    Summary

    Loyal to her dead mother, her sister, and herself, Rhaena claims no other family.

    After her mother’s plea to leave Essos goes unanswered, she knows exactly who to blame for her death. Her resentment grows when she sees them together on the night of the funeral, and it culminates when Rhaenyra tries to use her to steal Baela’s birthright.

    She’s not sure when Aegon became such an integral part of it, but she knows one thing with certainty – her father has gone uncontested for long enough.

    (alternate Dance)

    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'?

    Eleanor Mooton inherits the Ladyship of House Mooton after the second brother of two months dies in a hunting accident in the middle of Robert’s Rebellion. She is quite put upon about this.

    Summary

    Tenten doesn't actually dislike Gaara, okay. She got over the whole "crushed his leg and almost his dreams and therefore deserves to get stabbed through the throat" THING. However, if Gaara thought that because he was the Kazekage he was allowed to play around with Lee's heart then he had another thing coming. It was very, very disrespectful of him, whether or not Lee had never looked happier than when they were holding hands.

    (She didn't care if he was the second coming of Hashirama himself. If anyone wanted to seriously date her friend, then they needed ask- it was only polite.)

    Summary

    Every morning Daelyra Targaryen wakes up and chooses violence. (Figuratively, at least.)

    It might be because she’s Daemon Targaryen’s daughter. It might be because her soul is from another world. It might be because her dragon blood runs hotter than most, and that means more than she knew it could. It might be because the dragon that chose her is the most vicious of them all. It might be because she's a woman on a mission.

    So many might-be’s, but one thing is certain: she wasn’t meant to exist, and the sole fact that she does was enough to knock the world off its axis.

    Why not push the change further?

    Or: Targaryens really aren’t human and expecting them to conform to human standards rarely ends well, and sometimes an unhinged woman with an unhinged dragon is all the world needs to prevent a disaster long in the making.

    I was angry with my friend;
    I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
    I was angry with my foe:
    I told it not, my wrath did grow.

     

    House Targaryen is a family of many hatreds. And of many loves. None know it better than Aegon Targaryen, the last son of Baelon and Alyssa, the youngest brother of King Viserys.

    And none will learn it better than his only child, Alyssa.

     

    Or: sometimes a family is a Citadel dropout, a child bride, her sworn sword, and their five collective children (who are all married to each other)

    Summary

    “Master yourself, Aegon,” his mother said. Despite the harsh words, her voice had softened slightly, and he wondered where she’d found that scrap of sympathy when her kindness was usually reserved for Helaena or Aemond. But then, he'd just been given life-altering— no, life-shattering— news, and he supposed his mother's own life had been shattered once or twice before. “Get dressed. Clean clothes, please. Try to look presentable, and not give your father reason to question his recent decisions.” She touched his arm and he looked up at her, his vision blurry with stupid, sudden tears. “It’s an honor. He chose you over her. Remember that. We’ll be waiting for you in the king’s chambers.”

    ***
    To prevent war, Aegon is named heir and betrothed to Baela Targaryen.
