    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.

    Summary

    He turned to leave, already dreading the politicking ahead, when his mother called out again.

    “Luke?”

    He paused at the doorway and glanced back. “Yes?”

    Rhaenyra looked at him for a beat longer than necessary, then said — far too casually, “Don’t drink anything that isn’t labeled.”

    Lucerys stared at her. “Why would you say that?!”

    “I don’t know, it just feels like good general advice in that place."

    OR
