    'With solemn reverence: throw away respect,
    Tradition, form and ceremonious duty,
    For you have but mistook me all this while:
    I live with bread like you, feel want,
    Taste grief, need friends: subjected thus,
    How can you say to me, I am a king?'
    - Richard II, William Shakespeare
    An unexpected Green victory.

    Summary

    Visenya Velaryon is the first and only trueborn child of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon. As each of her brothers come into the world after her, looking nothing like her nor their father but with a stronger claim to both the iron throne and Driftmark simply because they were born male, Visenya struggles to come to terms with her mother’s decision to name Jace as her heir. Vis then must make the most difficult decision of her life yet: assert her claim to the throne and expose her brothers as bastards in the eyes of all the realm, or risk a war between dragons that could tear down the very family she seeks to protect.

    Summary

    They came in the dead of night—silent, swift, and cruel. Bound and powerless, Alicent Hightower watches as a nightmare unfolds before her eyes. But even in the heart of fear, a mother does not yield.

    By dawn, blood will be spilled, loyalties will be tested, and the walls of the Red Keep will remember.

    Summary

    In Which King Henry has two living sisters including Princess Elizabeth who survives her childhood illness. The sole heir to her mother and grandmother’s gifts and freed from an unhappy marriage sees her return to England to see a King in crisis and the beginning of a monarchy that will change history. And Anthony Knivert the charming knight with the smile of gold is just another wonderful complication that the golden-haired princess cannot stay away from.

    AU Anthony/OFC. Some mentions of events in TV Series, The White Queen, The White Princess and The Spanish Princess and RATED M. ALL FOUR SEASONS, Mostly Cannon (ish). Might not be perfectly historically accurate.
