Summary
She can’t escape the throne. Or the girl it was meant to devour. Alicent Hightower wears the regency like a crown of thorns. Confined by duty, something’s going to cleave. Maybe the realm. Maybe her heart. Maybe the line between them.
"One year,” Rhaenyra spits the words, “and if you linger a day beyond, Alicent, I will take the throne with fire.”
Or;
Viserys died earlier within the six-year time skip. Alicent successfully becomes queen regent. Rhaenyra arrives in King’s Landing. It changes everything.

Summary
“You’re not my father.”
“I know that. Do you know that?”
Sakura’s laugh was cruel at the edges, “My father would have wept if he knew what I had done for this country.”
She tilted her head over her shoulder to look at him, a rueful look painted across her face. Genma missed her smile. “I see no tears in your eyes. So, yes. I know you’re not my father.”
***
Sweet little clanless Haruno Sakura, with her exotic pink hair and alluring jade eyes.
What do you think the Hokage saw in her? A little girl graduating, ready for D-ranks? Or a tool to be used for the betterment of Konoha? A child no one would notice the absence of.
This is the version of Sakura that got pulled into the dark too soon because she was just Haruno Sakura, from a no-name civilian merchant clan, with no connections other than the ones she burned away for the affections of a boy who would never love her. A tool to be used.
For Konoha.

Summary
The second War for the Dawn is lost before it has even begun. With a little help from the Old Gods, Bran sends the last surviving Starks somewhere they can make a difference: back in time. Alone in an unfamiliar place, scattered and separated from each other, they must save the dragons and their house from death and madness. The survival of all humanity depends upon it.
Alternatively: Jon discovers just how messy that side of the family can get, Arya is forced to concede that some problems can't be solved by sticking them with the pointy end, and Sansa finally gets to play the game of thrones. This time around, it is a woman they will call Kingmaker.
(Or: What if all Alicent Hightower needed was a friend like Sansa Stark?)

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen has always felt wrong, broken, misunderstood. She's never completely fit into the perfect Targaryen family ideal — rough around the edges, breathing a flame of anger when pushed, paranoid that the past will come back to haunt her. All she wants is to be loved understood by those around her. But with a little amount of people in her corner she feels isolated and lost. So, she carries the burdens of her past trauma alone.
But when another public scandal erupts, Viserys makes a decision in a final attempt to get his daughter on the right path. Rhaenyra is sent to the Maiden's College. A prestigious, all-girls school in the Reach where she will be personally looked after by Viserys' old friend, Otto Hightower. Otto promises Viserys that his daughter will take the girl under her wing.
Alicent Hightower has grown up as the golden girl of the Reach. Her family rivals the wealth of House Targaryen, and Alicent doesn't shy away from this fact. Beautiful, polished, intelligent, and arrogant. She immediately holds a harsh opinion against Rhaenyra, but behind her cruelty is secrets of her own. And as secrets threaten to spill, the girls find themselves holding onto each other for dear life.Bookmarked by bode

Loneliness is a curse (that can be overcome) by flyingIndreamss

Summary
Sometimes being lonely is a choice. Sometimes it’s forced. He’s never understood why someone would choose to be lonely. It’s a thought Harry often has. There’s not much to do in his cupboard besides thinking.
He doesn’t understand why some people have nice things like parents and people who love them. He tried to ask Aunt Petunia once, her reply was, “Some people deserve love more than other’s."
As he reads the words, “We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,” Harry realizes that love is not a matter of who deserves it most. Love is based on what people perceive as being worthy of love, and Harry Potter, a young boy with magic running through his veins, is not seen as worthy of love by his aunt and uncle. Harry believes that the words his aunt uttered with scorn a few years ago, are the stupidest ones of all.
