Summary
Inspired by the ‘time travel revenge’ manwha trope, this story begins several years after the Dance. The former queen, Alicent, sits in confinement and full of regret, waiting for death. That is until she’s given a chance to go back in time to the year she married King Viserys and do it all over. With every intention of changing her fate, she might well be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as she is impeded at every turn by a familiar face who has received their own second chance.

Summary
Accompaniment fic for Alicent Reverses the Hourglass filling in the 17 years that take place after the end of Part 2 (chapter 65) and before the beginning of Part 3.
Despite her latest falling-out with Princess Rhaenyra, Alicent’s marriage to Daemon Targaryen is stronger than ever when she (pregnantly) returns to her duties as Lady of Dragonstone. Though she has the Crownlands to gentle-parent, smallfolk to tend to and vassals to appease, Alicent finds that her toddler son, Aegon’s, affinity to Vermithor, the Bronze Fury, is what troubles her most, along with her husband’s lack of interest in the tedium of politics and paperwork.
Though the looming threat of an uncertain future hangs over them, Alicent and Daemon chaotically stumble through parenthood, diplomacy, marriage issues (some couples therapy with Maester Prall) and occasionally make it out on top with only minimal casualties in their wake.

Summary
As they flew, Rhaenys watched her granddaughter. Her curls had been blown free from their pins, streaming in the wind, and she had raised a hand to idly trace the underside of a cloud. A sudden desperation seized her. If Corlys died, Baela would be one of the last two things binding her to this life.
Rhaenys shook her head, discarding the feeling, and settled in her saddle. There were three things that she had absolute faith in: Meleys, her husband, and that it would be Baela who would inherit the Driftwood Throne, even if it killed Rhaenys to put her there.
Rhaenys pushes for Baela's claim during the Driftmark succession crisis and finds herself sharing common ground with Alicent Hightower and her strange, half-Targaryen children. As war seizes the realm, Rhaenys, Baela, and Rhaena must navigate House Velaryon to safety, fighting alongside the people always believed to be their enemy.

Summary
When Aegon Targaryen returned to King’s Landing he declared for all to hear, “The time of hiding is done. Let the ravens fly that the realm may know the pretender is dead, and their true king is coming home to reclaim his father’s throne.” It seemed then, to the smallfolk, that the war was over, but leal men and women answered Aegon’s challenge with force, Starks and Arryns and Darklyns riding under a queenless banner to unseat the Usurper. Though Black victory was nigh, the succession remained deep in doubt until the day a ghost arose from the waters of the Gullet. “The time of hiding is done,” came his answer, a mockery of Aegon’s words, “And the true king is coming home to reclaim his mother’s throne.”
Thus was the bloody beginning of an otherwise long and peaceable reign. He would wear many epithets throughout his rule; the Black, the Undead, the Dragonless, even the Strong, from those intent on losing their tongues. The king’s favorite moniker, however, was one reserved for those who knew him best: Jace.
