   Summary

   Aella Targaryen loses an eye and gains a dragon, which she considers a fair trade until her father engages her to the boy who maimed her.

   What follows is her realising she can, in fact, do whatever she wants as she is ruined, which leads to her mother developing a permanent headache and a very real interest in joining the nearest sept.

   Westeros gets a golden age of peace because no one can start a civil war when they're too busy dealing with cult politics, homicidal goats, and Alicent Hightower's desperate quest for ONE normal grandchild.
