    Summary

    A voice, calm and ancient.

    “There is a sliver there that is not yours, little one. It has clung to you all this time, but it cannot stay.”

    And a child’s soft question.

    “It was there even in the cupboard? Even when they hurt me?”

    The answer, grave as the grave itself.

    “Yes. You were not alone. The soul shard was with you in silence.”

     

    The shade shrieked, clutching its form with invisible claws.

    “WHO—WHO SPEAKS IN MY MIND? Silence! Mine! Mine! You belong to me!”

    But the voices ignored him.

     

    “Then I don’t want to cast it away,” said the child. “If it was with me, then I wasn’t alone. I don’t want to be alone ever again.”

    A silence, heavy as eternity. Then laughter—not cruel, but amused.

    “You could take it into yourself. Consume it. Make it part of you forever.”

    “Yes. I want that.”

     

    Something inside the shade broke. And then - something inside him mended.

    A choice made, a world re-written.

    But Juno was just as stubborn and in a fit of rage flung them into the past.

    Now in Rome with an insane Isu as a roomate in his body, Desmond tries to survive and think of his next steps.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra was alone. Her best friend married her father, her uncle was at the Stepstones doing what Daemon Targaryen does best, wreck havoc, and her mother was dead. She had no one but her dear friend Syrax. She was not yet Rhaenyra the Cruel, as history would remember her. She was just a scared girl, fighting for her place in the world. What if the gods took pity on her? Not the Seven who are one, nor the old gods, but the Valyrian ones. They have seen what the future holds and are most displeased with the outcome. Rhaenyra was their champion. The Queen of Dragons. Enraged, they decided to act against the other deities involved.

    Or

    After their deaths, both Baelor and Maekar are sent back in time, into an age where dragons still roamed the skies, and meet a young Rhaenyra Targaryen on the brink of collapsing. How far will they go to ensure prosperity for their house?
