Summary
Arnelle Baratheon’s first year as her son’s regent is going horribly - her household is in constant chaos, the other Marcher Lords think they can order her around and the nearby sept just got robbed, possibly by the Dornish. What’s worse, Maegor Targaryen, the hand of the king himself, flies south on Balerion when he hears of the impending conflict. No one is prepared for the amount of trouble the encounter between these two will bring to the Seven Kingdoms.
(In which Maegor Targaryen has a bastard child by his Baratheon cousin.)

As death welcomes him into her embrace, he is met by the Stranger, who offers Aegon a choice: to return to the days before the Dance of the Dragons, with the power to alter his fate and that of his family.
Desperate for a chance to protect his family and a chance to rewrite history, Aegon accepts—unaware that the path ahead will be filled with unexpected twists and trials that could reshape his destiny and the legacy of house Targaryen.

Summary
A boy gains a dragon and loses an eye.
A girl loses her mother in Essos and then moves to Westeros where she loses her mother's dragon, (and also her uncle), but gains three stepbrothers and a stepmother in the span of a week.
Aemond wants to feel sorry for himself, but Rhaena Targaryen has to be the most unlucky girl in the world, and he feels a little bad about his part in her misfortune. Just a little. Mutilation is not the best starting point for a friendship, or a marriage, or any kind of relationship, really, but Aemond is an expert at making do.
...
...Or, why no one in the entire Seven Kingdoms believes Aemond Targaryen when he says that Vhagar ate Luke by accident.

Summary
" This was indeed a serious matter. Alicent turned her gaze towards the two culprits : while Ser Harwin kept his eyes lowered to the ground, his jaws clenched, Rhaenyra's were fixed on her. Her daughter-in-law's cheeks were flushed with the shame of having been caught in the same bed as her lover, contrasting with the paleness of her features. This was a serious matter, and there was no longer any question of vile rumors. Do you finally see your daughter as she really is, Viserys ? Do you finally see the truth ? Are you going to ignore it, as always, or do the right thing ? Alicent's thoughts whirled in her mind as she wanted to shout those words. "
Viserys finally realises that certain “sacrifices” are necessary for the good of the entire realm...
