Summary
The Valryan gods foresee what destruction Lucerys Velaryon’s death will bring and decide to intervene. They cannot stop the dragons from dancing but they can change the tune.
Lucerys comes back from the dead thanks to Balerion’s intervention and decides that, since he failed to help his mother’s cause as himself, he should become someone different - the masked, mute, mystery dragonrider known only as Lord Velaryon.
The gods aren’t content with intervening in just one person’s fate, however. Other gods set their eyes on Aemond and work to set him on a different path.
One day, Lucerys and Aemond’s paths will cross again and, when they do, they will be very different people.

Summary
Brandon was held prisoner throughout Robert’s Rebellion and became Lord of Winterfell after the war. At Robert's urging, Ned stayed in King's Landing and joined the Kingsguard. But he hadn't imagined Robert would be such a poor king, nor had he predicted how badly his oaths would chafe.
Certainly, he never expected he'd begin to sympathize with the Kingslayer.

Summary
“Every world champion cheated, mate. Every single one of them,” Mark Webber said last year, like he’d finally let Oscar in on a secret.
“It’s not the kind they can write rules for. The kind the FIA doesn’t even know how to regulate. If you want to be one of them, figure out how they did it, and do it better.”
Or… F1 drivers have secret superpowers and Oscar is on a mission to discover it.

Summary
Zak folded his hands and leaned back. “We can’t promise you number one. But we can guarantee it’s not a number two seat.”
“Besides,” he added, his voice taking on a lighter tone again, “I know you and Lando hit it off. You’re good friends. You’d make great teammates.”
Or… in 2017 Christian Horner spotted Oscar Piastri when he was competing for British F4 and signed him for the Red Bull Junior Program the year after. Seven years later Oscar was stuck in Red Bull’s second seat purgatory while Max Verstappen dominated. Then came the offer.
