Summary
Some transmigrated souls lament that they are born too late to change much. Not Daeron. If it's one thing he has aplenty, it's time. Aerys is but a child, after all, and Daeron's elder brothers aren't exactly model heirs. Many justify their actions and ambitions when vying for the throne, but surely this is different.
(Or, SI into the youngest son of Aegon the Unlikely.)

Summary
Finally, the armies of the Hittites have been subdued, but at a great cost to both sides.
Egypt could not take back the fortress city of Kadesh, key to defending their golden land and their vassal states, but in the eyes of the Pharaoh, they won something much greater; peace.
After a century of war, it was a much-welcomed outcome for both Egypt and Hattusa.The great Hittite general, Hattusili, offers his daughter, the young princess Malawashina, as a bride for Pharaoh to seal their treaty once and for all.
But, is the treaty the only reason he chooses to send his most precious daughter away from their homeland, away from his heart?How will life fare for her in the distant land of Egypt, where she will ultimately be sent into the clutches of Pharaoh's harem?
Claws will be hidden beneath the facade of pleasantries and charm. Will the rules set in place to assure harmony within the palace be enough to protect her from the ruthlessness of her fellow wives as they vie for Pharaoh's favour and affections?Within Pharaoh's harem, only one flower can bloom...

Summary
Queen Aemma dies in her sleep after a difficult pregnancy with her sixth daughter.
Along with Rhaenyra, Viserys is the father to six dragon riding daughters. Still, in his grief and guilt he names Rhaenyra his heir and Princess of Dragonstone.
When his son by Alicent Hightower, Prince Aegon is crowned King, a far bloodier Dance of Dragons commences.
Or. Aemma’s terrible pregnancies bore fruit in the form of six beautiful daughters, Rhaenyra, Alysanne, Jaenara, Daenerys, Aelora and Visenya.
Rhaenyra’s five sisters are not going to be wall flowers on the edge of a dynastic civil war.
Their life, loves and deaths, at the heart of House Targaryen at its height.
Note: I have began to rework my chapters, 1 - 3 have been changed to better reflect the story as I want it to be. The rest will follow. For those who have already read the chapters I have posted, some changes will be important, but the major body of this story will remain the same.

The Dragon's Heirs (Redux) by AbaddonKhaleesi, TooManyNameOptions

Summary
King Jaehaerys I died on the third moon of the year 103 AC; however, the abrupt disappearance of his son and heir, Prince Aegon of Dragonstone, a fortnight before his passing, left a lingering question: who is set to inherit? The line of King Jaehaerys’s troublesome firstborn son? Or the line of his favored third son, Baelon the Brave?
As law and bloodline come into conflict, the House of the Dragon begins to learn—slowly but surely—that only a dragon can kill another dragon...
An AU based on the idea that all thirteen children of King Jaehaerys and Good Queen Alysanne survived childhood and had children of their own.
(Note: This is a redux of the early chapters, rewritten for consistency and narrative clarity. Updates will follow regularly.)

Summary
“You are entering a den of dragons and vipers, dear boy.” The woman says smoothly, her grin getting wider with every word. “If you wish to survive – to not see your family perish," She leans forward, invading Lucerys' space. "You must become something far, far worse.”
–
Aemond is reborn in water. Lucerys is reborn with flame. In the midst of a war that threatens to tear the realm apart, they have two options: make peace and learn to survive, or let the flames of hatred consume them and everyone they hold dear.

Summary
It began with the dance and the battle above the Gods Eye. House Stark had always been faithful to House Targaryen ever since they had bent the knee over a century ago, and once more they traveled South with an army to support the rightful claimant to the Iron Throne. Along the way the Northern host begins to past by the Gods Eye just in time to witness the ending of the battle between Vhagar and Caraxes.
And yet the gods are not satisfied with allowing history to run its course, to have a girl who fancied herself an assassin "killing" the greatest foe the world would ever see, and would never be prepared for again due to his temporary defeat. Rather than sitting back this time around, the Old Gods, with some assistance from an old friend, begin to ensure a few changes occurred to prevent the destruction of humanity.
Rhaegal would've been a fine dragon. The old gods simply felt a certain dragon similar in appearance may be a better fit. And the North would need to prepare for its future.

Summary
Canon Divergent Fix-It Fic Trilogy with a HEA.
As the kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, Alicent Hightower swaps the pieces on the board: Aegon will marry Abrogail Strong, Larys’ younger sister and heir to Harrenhal. Caught in the web of intrigue and political machinations, the pair must figure out where their loyalties lie, and what they mean to one another.
They weren’t even giving her to him, not to love like he wanted. No, they were taking his Maiden and turning her into a pawn just like him, placing her on the board beside him to move them both as his mother and grandfather pleased.
It felt like something sacrificial; dark and maybe sacred in whatever deals had been made, whatever machinations brewed behind the curtains that he could not see.
