Summary
“I heard you was looking for help?” the woman asks, her voice a smooth velvet that drips like honey. Despite the snow, her voice feels warm as it echoes against the barren walls of the kitchen. The pot of coffee is done and for the first time in over a season, Alicent pulls two mugs down from the cupboard.
Or, a study of the formation of a quiet affair between a wandering farmhand and a lonely widow.

Summary
TEMPOARILY ON HOLD | Valaena had spent the early years of her youth a happy child who wished to spend her days eating cake and flying across the Seven Kingdoms on dragon back. She never gave trivial things, such as the colour of her hair or the shape of her brothers' noses, a second thought, until she hears the secret musings of Queen Alicent in what she thought was a private moment. After a confrontation in which she was certain her and her brothers’ lives would be forfeit, She is faced with a truth that she was unfit to bare.
She’d expected at some point in the 8 years that had passed for the truth to harden her, like a dragon’s scales in great age, but the frightened girl clinging to her bloodied mother in the Hall of Nine remained. Worried for her and her brother’s future, she questions why none have sought a betrothal.
A question her mother dreads to answer for.

Summary
ON HOLD | Eight and ten years ago, the gods flipped a coin as Daena Targaryen fell into the hands of a Pentoshi surgeon. Weak and of shallow breath, they did not let it land, thinking it cruel to place a heavy fate on a child that would never survive. But survive she did, and as she opened her eyes, the dragon’s egg in her cradle cracked open, her hatchling screaming as the two truly entered the world together. In that moment, during the hour of ghosts, the two became one.
Daena, never truly bonding with either of her sisters, lived her life for Vespertine. Wherever she went, her dragon would follow, going so far as to spent her nights sleeping beneath her wings once they grew large enough to shield her from the cold. Her dragon was the only thing she lived for. Everything she did, every choice she made, was for Vespertine. And even when she chose wrong, she felt no regret, for it lead her to the person she was made to fly in the sky with forever.
