    Summary

    Every so often, the Rogue King would fly up north. Every so often, a lady in blue would meet him in secret.

    It was a routine at this point, this push and pull. A man. A woman. Longingness and clandestine meetings in the dead of night. A secluded villa up in the mountains where it was only them. Information passed between heated whispers and breathy laughs.

    It would often end the same way, too.

    With King Daemon and Lady Rhaenyra Arryn falling into bed together all throughout the night, till morning comes.

    Summary

    Baelon, the spring prince, does not die of a burst belly and Otto Hightower does not become Hand to Jahaerys. When Baelon becomes king after his father, his two sons become his heirs and Viserys, the firstborn, is slowly adjusted to what it means to rule a kingdom and take responsibility (maybe he gets a position on the small council, working himself up to become hand or something)

    Of course, Baelon loves both of his sons equally and adores his first grandchild Rhaenyra. So after not too much convincing, and careful consideration and input from his kinsmen of the Vale, he dissolves Daemon's first marriage, as he cannot bear to see his son so discontent.
    But Baelon, in contrast to Viserys, is not blind. He sees Rhaenyra's affection for her uncle, the way even as a child she clings to him, begs him to take her with him when he goes on an adventure and wants to go flying with him. And Baelon knows his youngest son, knows the slight he perceived of not having a Valyrian bride...

    So he betrothes Daemon to Rhaenyra...

    Summary

    The red dragon keeps terrorising their kingdom - none of the sacrifices they have made this year have helped. The only way to appease the dragon is to offer it a maiden with royal blood.

    Rhaenyra Targaryen is a sacrifice, a prey, a lover, a mother and finally herself.
