Summary
Alicent Hightower gave Viserys Targaryen five children. One is a lazy rake who can't see past his own lust. One is an ambitious boy, hungry for power and validation. One is a dreamer, far too soft for a world so rotten. One was sent to learn to do battle with his uncle.
And one was perfect.
The moment Alicent held Vaedys in her arms, she knew that the little girl would be her pride and joy. Not because she loved her more, gods know Helaena would always be loved best, but because Alicent could train Vaedys to be just like her. Make her strong, make her resilient, make her smart. Not a hair would be out of place. No one would question her honor or her virtue or her worth as a daughter of the Dragon.
As tensions between the two Targaryen factions continue to worsen, Alicent knows that she has no choice but to give her perfectly molded daughter to Rhaenyra's oldest son for his wife. She had denied him Helaena, but now she has no other choice. But breaking the betrothal between Vaedys and Aemond that had been in place since they were children in favor of marrying her to Jacaerys has unforeseen ramifications.
In an effort to end a war before it begins, she may very well start another.

Summary
You have lived your life beneath the gray skies and towering walls of Winterfell. The North is in your blood - its frozen forests, its relentless winds, its unyielding ice. Here, amid the frigid stone and hearth fires, you have found a sanctuary of warmth and family, shared with your young sister and the half-brother who watches over you like a wolf to its pack.
But when the dragon descends from the heavens, bearing fire and war upon its back, the North you know will not be the only thing to feel the pangs of war. You will never be the same.In which the reader begins the tale in the North, younger sister to Cregan Stark, before Jacaerys' visit.

Summary
You're a Targaryen princess with a dragon, a seat on the small council, and a hole in your wall that looks directly into the Crown Prince's chambers.
You should seal it. You should forget what you've seen.
You should definitely stop watching your cousin fuck his way through King's Landing's noblewomen. But you don't and when Jacaerys starts looking at you like he knows, like he's been waiting for you to break—well. That's when things get complicated.

Summary
Only when he is gone do you release the breath you have been holding, and decide – with perfect certainty – that you despise Prince Valarr Targaryen, and if the look he left you with is any indication, the feeling seems entirely mutual.
OR
summoned to the red keep to prove your family's loyalty a decade after the blackfyre rebellion as the lady of house peake, you only intend to survive court politics.
becoming entangled with prince valarr targaryen was not part of the plan.Bookmarked by dukemarlin

Summary
"Once, when she was a girl, her mother had tried to convince the lady that if she breathed slowly enough then the ravenous beast inside of her would no longer emerge at the slightest provocation. She, fury’s girl, daughter of the tempest. Each breath had been in vain."
Lady Baratheon's plans to enjoy the Ashford Meadow tournament are ruined when she catches the attention of not one but two Targaryen princes.
