    Summary

    Anyone of royal blood could claim themselves King, but if the crown and throne deemed them unworthy, it was not a title they would be able to keep claiming for long.

    The opposition of the steel circlet and iron throne led to the demise of Viserys I Targaryen, though it took decades to do so—his son, however, was rejected much faster.

     

    Just months into his reign Aegon found himself bruised, bloodied, and kneeling at his sister’s feet, begging her to take the crown before it took his life

    He swore her his loyalty and pleaded for her to show mercy.

     

    Rhaenyra thought it would be a waste to show him anything less when he looked so pretty on his knees—a fact Daemon wholeheartedly agreed with. It was convenient how they had the same taste in men, in addition to a seemingly never ending hunger for each other.

    .

    Or: Rhaenyra is not heir, but she is worthy of being Queen.

    It was only a matter of time until she ruled Westeros as she did Dragonstone.

    And she would do it with her husband, children, and dragons by her side...and maybe her brother, too.

    Summary

    There it is – the symbol of royalty, the King of the forest – and he picked her. Not Aegon, the King’s son, but Rhaenyra, his daughter. There’s something magical in the hart’s steady gaze, and Rhaenyra almost collapses under the weight of what the stag symbolises.

    Or Rhaenyra’s encounter with the white stag inspires her to step up in the game for the Iron Throne.

    Strong friendship between Rhaenyra and Laena, fresh take, lovely balance of plot and characterization

    Summary

    She wakes on dragonback with a scream, barely able to catch hold of the saddle beneath her hands. The beast plunges and Rhaenyra desperately clings to the chains, trying to pull at them to steer the dragon into a steady flight once more.

    But a dragon is not a horse to be steered with reins and kicks.

    [yes, it's another Rhaenyra-goes-back-in-time fic]

    Sadly unfinished, but the best of the time travel + hard left turn, great prose

    Summary

    Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.

    But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.

    As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.
