    Summary

    It doesn’t feel strange to be on the other side of the glass. It feels like sliding into a well-tailored suit, the shoulders resting like a loving pair of hands, fixing the buttons without complaint, nary a wrinkle. It feels like everything is as it should be, she thinks, surveying the main floor through the one-way mirror, smoothing her hand down the front of her vest, tracing one of the golden spirals.

    On one of the monitors, the small red-light blinks at her, letting her know the motion sensors were set off, but she didn’t notice soon enough. The monitor screens show her an empty loading dock, but then there is a shift of shadows near the left corner of the one-way mirror. Samantha raises her serving tray above her head, twirling out of the way. If it were anyone else, Sam would make them move, and then Rhaenyra knows. In each flash of the ever-changing neon lights, Rhaenyra sees him, would know him by his height, his unhurried stride, Arryk trailing behind him.

    Everything is as it should be. The door knob twists, and Rhaenyra takes a deep breath.

    Almost, she adds as Arryk opens the office door and Otto Hightower enters.

    Summary

    Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.

    But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.

    As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.

    Summary

    She wakes on dragonback with a scream, barely able to catch hold of the saddle beneath her hands. The beast plunges and Rhaenyra desperately clings to the chains, trying to pull at them to steer the dragon into a steady flight once more.

    But a dragon is not a horse to be steered with reins and kicks.

    [yes, it's another Rhaenyra-goes-back-in-time fic]
