   Summary

   "you want three of the least parental, most traumatised people in this keep to raise a child you just happened to find on the side of the road?"
   "...yes?"

   Joffrey Velaryon is tired of being alone on Dragonstone. Sometimes he has Jace, and sometimes he even has his mother, but usually it's just caretaker after caretaker, none staying for too long. One night, he makes a wish with his dragon to be a part of a family that just has a little more time. Maybe the Gods misinterpret this, because he ends up falling through time instead right past Daenerys, into the end of a war between two half siblings for the Throne. He gets the family, but it's a bit, uh, chaotic - and, as he has to keep reminding himself, only temporary.
