    Summary

    In a last ditch attempt to avoid war after Viserys's death, Alicent visits Rhaenyra with a plot to put her on the Throne. With Rhaenyra's family living at the Red Keep again, they are forced to face their past and find a way forward.

     

    “Two days ago we had dinner together, as a family. And although the children bickered, I could not help but—,” her voice caught in her throat, “—but hope that we could yet repair things.” When Alicent said we, Rhaenyra knew she meant just them. “A day after that, and we were on the brink of war.” She looked up, and Rhaenyra was surprised to see familiar damp eyes. “I’m tired, Rhaenyra. I am very tired. I am tired of forcing my children into roles they do not want. I am tired of fighting for a power I never cared for. And I am exhausted, Rhaenyra, of hating you.”

    Summary

    An AU where Targaryens have braincells <3 they still have their flaws and prejudices, but not to dynasty-ending levels. No Dance, Rhaenyra never marries Laenor. A fix it fic, if you will. I hope you’ll enjoy it <3 Rhaenyra won't have bastards, but she will grow close to the Velaryons and be their ward. Idk if it makes sense, in this fic it does bc I say so <3 This is my first fanfiction and non-academic writing I’ve done since like 2009, so please be kind to me! English is also my second language.
