   Summary

   One of my favorite What If scenarios is what if Baelon the Brave and Alyssa lived to succeed their parents as king and queen. This led me to really flesh this out in my head, along with talking to some other folks online. Since then, I have introduced some anachronisms in this timeline that would lead to one of the best couple of House Targaryen living to rule the Seven Kingdoms. I have created OCs for this story and have brought in actual characters made by GRRM into this story. Their will be pieces from the books and the House of the Dragon series I will take into account for this story to work. I have put thought into how I want this story to look and, as I continue to create the chapters, I hope we can all find enjoyment in them as we see these 2 beloved dragons rule together.
