   Summary

   How different is wanting your father dead, anyway, to loving your own brother?

   The year is 1967. Three springs since the height of Beatlemania. Three summers since the fall of the Conservative government. And three autumns since Aegon and Aemond—long unwanted spare heirs to the Targaryen Industries fortune—both fucked themselves over.

   For once, Aegon just wants to stop losing. For once, Aemond just wants to win.

   A Pre-Dance AU ft. Millionaire Equestrian Targaryens, set in 1960s Britain
