    Summary

    All Aegon has ever known is his mother's fear and rage, his father's cold indifference, and his grandfather's blind ambition. Unable to handle eternally falling short of their exceptions, or to face the threat of war on the horizon, he buries himself in his vices in order to cope, and waits for the world to be set aflame by the King's passing.

    Until Helaena gives him some advice that changes the course of his life, and the future: try and revive his old bond with his nephew, Jacaerys. If Aegon can convince him that he is no threat, then maybe Rhaenyra and the rest of the realm will believe it too.

    And if that means sneaking out to Dragonstone on Sunfyre? Learning more of his eldest sister and her family then he has ever before known? Realizing how kind and brave, smart and maybe even beautiful Jace is? And if those things together, shift the course of the Dance of Dragons, and House Targaryen forever?

    Well, who could have foreseen that?

    Or:

    Aegon accidentally joins the Blacks, falls in love, and fights a war, not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “You damn yourself to death,” Alicent whispers. “With the same breath, you damn me to suffer your absence, Ser Cole. I’ve chosen you as my sworn protector. I beg you, do not rob me of this choice. Let me choose to keep you close.”

    Alicent’s hands come to crown Criston’s dark head. Her fingers fan across his scalp, entangling themselves in the curls at the nape of his neck. His skin is speckled with sweat, and the salty sting of it on her raw fingertips is purifying.

    On his knees, Cole gazes up at her as a man might gaze upon an emblem of the gods.
