Summary
Taken to an unknown land by raiders, the Lady Alicent Hightower—armed with her steadfast piety, her prayer book, and a natural talent for politics—has set her mind on returning home once winter ends; she refuses to be swayed from her goal, no matter how fond she becomes of her much older Northern guardian.
With the long chill fast approaching, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen is prepared to spend yet another winter alone, but when a wounded and malnourished Southern woman arrives to her shores, the Queen comes to a decision that changes the course of her life.
Or, Alicent is a young pious noblewoman, Rhaenyra is a sword-wielding Norse monarch, and love can bloom in even the most unhospitable places.

Summary
"Does anyone have any questions?"
As soon as the words lilted into the air, Rhaenyra watched the viewer count drop down to a single, lonely digit. Alicent's hopeful smile wilted.
Rhaenyra sighed.
Well, it would be a bit of a dick move of her not to comment. Especially if the other viewer had decided to flee at the first sign of human interaction. What a wanker, honestly.
So, she typed out a question. It wasn't the most intellectual question, nor was it particularly academic, but it was a question. If Alicent had a problem with it, then Rhaenyra could just leave the stream and delete Twitch for good.

or, Rhaenyra is a billionaire CEO and Alicent is a Twitch streamer.

Summary
Larys shuffled towards the play circle and, rather stiffly, lowered himself upon the velvet-lined chair. Once seated, he dipped his head before the boy and introduced himself. “Lord Larys Strong, my Prince.”
Predictably, his introduction was ignored, and the child turned his attention to the winged figures clasped in both of his chubby fists.

Summary
That’s what love is; it’s a crunch of flesh, and a slobbering mouth, and a supper you’re not invited to because there isn’t enough to go around.
Or,
A character study on Alicent and Aegon.

Summary
The boy is killed by his uncle and eaten by his dragon, and to be a Targaryen is to be a kinslayer, and if you do not want to be devoured, you must devour; fire & blood & dragons & kin and an eye for a dragon and a son for a son and around the cycle continues, and perhaps Targaryen's are indeed gods reborn but they have been reborn wrong.

Summary
This series is a SLIGHT canon divergence, where Larys and Aegon bond decades earlier and form a mutual(ish) friendship. The dance still occurs, Aegon just actually has someone in his corner who’s not going to totally abandon him.

Summary
“It’s hardly an appropriate matter to discuss,” Serena asserts in hard-edged, bitten-off word shards. In that moment it’s not the voice of a pious freak-wife, June thinks, nor that of a right-wing crackpot, but the voice of a woman with a penchant for not acknowledging the elephant in the room.
Takes place sometime during, or shortly after 2x05.
