    Summary

    Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.

    But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.

    As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.

    Summary

    “A princess alone in the dark?” he whispers into her ear, making her shiver. “Are you asking for trouble, sweet niece?”

    “Are you the trouble you speak of, uncle?” Rhaenyra asks, still not turning to look at him. “Or perhaps you will protect me from the dangers lurking in the dark.”

    He chuckles huskily. “I am no gallant knight, princess. I thought you would know that by now.”

    “Should I scream then? Cry for help?”

    He leans even closer, his warm breath brushing against her bare shoulder. “That depends. Do you want to be rescued, princess?”

    She spins around and tilts her head to meet her uncle’s gaze. “Perhaps not tonight,” she murmurs, staring deep into his eyes.

    One corner of Daemon’s lips tugs upwards in a crooked smile. “I thought so,” he says.

    Summary

    In 109 AC, Viserys Targaryen breaks the tradition and precedent that made him the King of the Seven Kingdoms and names his daughter, Rhaenyra, the heir to the Iron Throne.

    Before the ink on the royal decree is dry, opportunists and enemies of the princess gather and start to plot and scheme to strip Rhaenyra of her title. The men of the realm might prefer the Realm’s Delight over the Lord Flea Bottom, but they do not intend to allow a woman to ascend the Iron Throne.

    Caught in the web of other people’s ambitions, the princess finds herself doubting everyone; sometimes, it seems even the man who bestowed the title upon her is working against her… And when her uncle returns to King’s Landing, Rhaenyra will have to decide if she’s willing to forsake her duty and risk her father’s love for her heart’s desires…

    Summary

    There it is – the symbol of royalty, the King of the forest – and he picked her. Not Aegon, the King’s son, but Rhaenyra, his daughter. There’s something magical in the hart’s steady gaze, and Rhaenyra almost collapses under the weight of what the stag symbolises.

    Or Rhaenyra’s encounter with the white stag inspires her to step up in the game for the Iron Throne.

    Summary

    Since leaving Winterfell her life has become a series of befores and afters, of thens and nows. Yet she can’t help feeling like she is staring down the edge of a precipice. She was raised to practice her curtseys and mind her manners, not plot murder and conspiracy.

    Still, she plasters another dimpled smile on her face and sips her wine, wondering how anyone in King’s Landing could think she would choose to submit to her fate. She’s a Lady, yes, but she is still a Stark.

    She always will be.

     

    --

    Or;

    In an alternate timeline the Starks are a little older, a little wiser, a little more dangerous. It doesn't save them, it only makes them bare their teeth—as wolves are prone to do.
