Not even the Gods above Can separate the two of us

Summary:

“Nothing can come between you and I
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us
No, nothing can come between you and I
You and I
Oh, you and I.”- “You and I” by One Direction

After the wreck his parents made of Westeros there were high hopes for the eldest son of King Rhaegar the fool. Instead the boy grew up to be the worst kind of dragon a la Daemon Targaryen. Abdicating the throne when he was seventeen Aegon went to Dragonstone, awakened a dragon, and has been in Essos ever since.
Eleven years pass. The white Walkers begin to mass at the Wall. King Rhaegar lies dying. And the Company of the Rose has been summoned back to the North. Aegon Blackfyre and his monstrous mount arrive in Kings Landing as the succession of the Iron Throne is in question.
Sansa Blackwood, Lady of Harrenhal and soon to be widow, arrives with her dying husband and three sons as the representative of her father Brandon the Burnt along with her younger brother Brandon the Brave.
As the Long Night looms the people of Westeros must choose their fate. And a pair of star crossed lovers must choose if the stars will ever align.

Chapter Text

King Rhaegar is dying. A long battle his lungs are losing. Each breath an agony. His Queens at his side as the lords gather and the people wait with bated breath. 
he has not declared an heir. 
His brother Viserys in voluntary exile in Harrenhal with his Blackwood wife and their  brood of children raised in the haunted halls. 
Rhaenys with her bastard child and her wild ways frowned upon in most of Westeros. 
His son Jaeherys and sister Daenerys wed with only a weak son and seven dead children to show for it.  Daenerys hatched three dragons but only two can barely be ridden and the other flew to Harrenhal where it chose Viserys of all people as its rider.

But Aegon Blackfyre, rider of the Cannibal, scourge of Slavers, and Black Dread of the Company of the Rose has arrived in Westeros after sporadic visits since he abdicated over a decade ago. A man who was supposed to be King. A man who instead of being a peacemaker has become a dread none can control only unleash. 

All have a claim to the throne. But which one will succeed  King who nearly brought the realm to ruin?
