Summary
What if Alicent Hightower and Daemon Targaryen were never meant to be enemies, but the realm demanded they were?
Alicent Hightower always wanted to be queen and Daemon Targaryen always wanted to be king.
---
In this universe Viserys chooses duty over love, and marries Laena Velaryon instead of Alicent Hightower. Rhea Rhoyce died in 102 AC, so Daemon is free to marry and so is Alicent, which leads to Viserys having an interesting idea.

After the Dance of the Dragons, Westeros is shattered. The only remaining dragons are old, wild, or dying — and the realm is exhausted.
Jacaerys and Aegon II, both scarred by loss and guilt, make peace not out of forgiveness, but necessity.
For the peace of the realm, they marry in the ways of old Valyria.
—
And then years later, they wake up in the bodies of their younger selves, just in time to feast with their family.

Summary
The Dessendre name is synonymous with color and light, but for Verso, life is lived in monochrome. Haunted by a fire that scarred his family, he has locked himself away, his music a fortress of sound where no one can reach the man behind the melody.
Enter Gustave, an engineer who sees the world in the light of physics and function, his own heart shadowed by a recent, painful breakup. Their meeting is a collision of two opposing forces: the artist who feels everything and the builder who fixes everything.
In the artistic fervor of Montmartre, their burgeoning connection becomes a work of chiaroscuro, demonstrating that true beauty is found not in perfect light or absolute darkness, but in the delicate balance of both.

Summary
“Wait! Verso, damn it, wait, what-”
Fingers close around his wrist. He freezes, paralyzed; his arms are held down again, stripping him of the ability to defend himself, and a familiar-unfamiliar voice is ringing in his ears, and he is tugged and turned around, and soon the bruises on his wrists are going to be the least of his problems, because… because…
“Verso. Verso, look at me. Hey, look at me.”
Or: Maelle brings back a certain someone from Verso's past. Things do not go well, and Verso ends up on the doorstep of the only person in Lumière who makes him feel safe.
(It's a shame things between them are not that simple.)Bookmarked by lql

Summary
Maelle looks at the mirror shards scattered across the floor, a disarray of sharp and jagged pieces that can never be put back together again. "I know you’re not him..." she admits in a shaky whisper. Her tear-filled eyes find Verso, the blues and greys of paint starting to unravel the edges of them, mocking him. "But you deserve to be happy,” she says. We deserve to be happy, she means.
“I deserve to be myself,” Verso says, and it sounds like a plea more than anything else. The skin around his left eye aches, as if it’s waiting for his scar’s return.
Maelle sighs before she sweeps her hand through the air, calling for her rapier. It appears in a flutter of gold petals, glimmering in the dim light of the bathroom. Her eyes are cast in shadow and her disappointed smile is somewhat crooked. "Alright. Let's try again."
or: Maelle wants a happy end for everyone she cares about, and she will keep trying until even Verso gets it right.
