Summary
It was a betrayal Alicent could not begin to understand.
What else could possibly compare to knowing that your closest friend had seduced your father?
Rhaenyra’s lips twitched. Nothing could compare to that.
If she wanted to make Alicent understand, she’d have to do just that.
It wouldn’t be hard—Rhaenyra was comely. Otto would be flattered by her interest, she was sure, no matter how gross she found such a thought.
(she was right, it wasn't hard—and he couldn't remain hard, either...)
.
.
or: In which Otto Hightower marries a princess, fails to consummate the marriage, and somehow becomes known as a sex god—much to the horror of Viserys, Alicent, and Otto himself.Series

Summary
A series of one-shots exploring small moment within the Avatar series that may or may not have happened, focusing on the detail that Zuko may once have been trained to be an assassin. And I just can't stop writing him that way.
Filled with plenty of angst, questionable family relatives and Zuko feels!

Summary
Little is known about Viserra Targaryen. She was the most beautiful of Queen Alysanne Targaryen's daughters, a vain, wild, and ambitious girl. When she was fifteen, her mother betrothed her to Lord Manderly, a man old enough to be her grandfather. No one was willing to speak against the match, so she tried to seduce her widowed brother, Baelon and gain her freedom. Unsuccessful and resigned to her fate, Viserra snuck out with her friends for one last night of laughter. On their way back, there was an accident, and the Princess fell from her horse and died.
Or: Viserra did not die that night, and instead, the Fourteen Flames showed her the horrors of the future. Forewarned, she will stop at nothing to protect those she loves.

Summary
Rhaenyra suffered a fever for a month wherein she dreamt of the Dance and woke up bitter, wanting vengeance from all her enemies. She will not make the same mistake that her spoilt younger self did, she will make the Seven Kingdoms love her so, that they will revolt if ever the Crown was usurped from her again. Or she will make them fear her so much they will pray for Maegor to save them from her. Either way works for her.

Summary
Rhaenyra was never meant to claim the Iron Throne. The realm, forged in fire and fear, would never bow to a queen. The gods knew this, and so they sent her dreams, not as omens of surrender but as echoes of another fate. She would not fall to her brother’s flame.
Instead, she would rise beyond ruin, unbound by prophecy or patriarchy, and carve a new path through time itself. In her defiance, fire would meet frost, dragons would dance with wolves. Through unity, not conquest, she would forge the realm anew, tempered and ready for the shadow creeping from the far North.
