   Summary

   Alicent gets a horse, Rhaenyra gets a garden. Aegon and Jaehaera get to grow up.

   They grieve and heal and grow. But mostly they live, they live, they live.

   Or:
   What if their ship gets caught in a storm and they end up in Essos instead of on Dragonstone?

   The alternate happier ending to ‘lately i’ve been crying (like a tall child)’ where instead of following their canon endings, Rhaenyra and Alicent fake their own deaths and live in a cottage with Jaehaera and Aegon.
