Summary
It's not Alicent who finds Aemond right after his failed attempt at bonding with Dreamfyre.
The blood of the dragon runs thick, even in the face of adversity.
A little kindness has massive ripples that literally change the world.
Or: At the end of the day all that Aemond wanted was to be accepted, Rhaenyra’s love for her family is stronger than anything, and the power of love and murder fixes everything.

Summary
It didn’t take long for her to realise her father was weaker in more than just his health and she would gain nothing from ruling like he did.
Which is why it frustrates her when he barely questions the stupid decisions the queen consort makes, as if she is queen herself, like Rhaenyra will be. She cries sometimes when she realises she would rather death came for her father sooner. Still, she doesn’t think that what he has now can be considered living.
Whispers and glares don’t bother her, but now that it comes in the form of insults towards her children, she can’t help but react. She is a dragon after all. And now a mother.
or, Viserys is reminded that he is the King, and he needs to protect his heir and future queen a bit better. This focus on Rhaenyra's journey into improving her game of politics, as she goes to remind people that slander and treason are crimes, that Arryn and Baratheon genes can be in play, and perceived hereditary traits matters not when genetics is not yet a field of study. With the help of her husband, Rhaenyra is set to gain new allies, both outside the Keep, but also, within her own family.

Summary
After Prince Baelon Targaryen was a miscarriage, Queen Aemma Arryn tells King Viserys I Targaryen that she will have no more children. She has given him a daughter (a heiress) and that should be good enough.
Viserys, pressured by his Small Council and his dream of a male heir as well as manipulated by Otto, makes the decision to set Aemma aside and marry Alicent.
Aemma, betrayed by the love of her life, agrees... after taking her daughter, Dragonstone and the Islands of the Narrow Sea and the dragons from Viserys and his Small Council.
If Otto Hightower wants a dragon King with his blood on the Iron Throne, he'll have to another thing coming.UNDER HIATUS (BEING EDITED/REWRITTEN)

Summary
Rhaenyra should’ve known that Alicent and her precious Greens wouldn’t take this lying down. Alicent’s sons are fostering with Rhaenyra on Dragonstone and that terrifies the queen consort. As they are both privy to one simple truth: Aemond and Aegon’s shifting loyalties are the key to turning the tides.
Or, in which Rhaenyra doesn't alienate her own family, she consolidates it. She recognizes that she will sooner lose this war of succession if she doesn't take initiative to solidify a coalition of supporters but more crucially a legion of her own kin—a legion of dragons—before Alicent and her green ilk can establish their footing.
