Summary
“Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that is not the right question. The question is, are we living a life that is worth the harm?”
____One moment you were breathless with delight and drunk on childish glee, and the next you were screaming, sobbing against memories of hands that took and took until there was nothing left to take. Until you were scarcely a person at all.
The reality is as simple as it is terrible—you can remember six years as the girl and twenty-four years as someone else.
(Or you wake in a world of fire and cruelty with memories of a story you once read—but everyone must find a way to live with themselves and you are no exception.)

You were born under an auspicious moon. It is not until you are much older that you understand what that means.

Summary
“Would the king take my counsel, I would advise him to take Laena Velaryon as his bride. I wish I could say that the king will see sense, but I watch him with the girl he once called his Little Queen… and I worry. We will have a new queen, brother, but I fear her name will be Royce.”
-----
Aemma Royce is named for a woman who will die. This should not matter—and yet, it is the only thing that matters.
(Or that one where Rhae and Daemon have a daughter, and Viserys decides to try his hand at playing the role of Targaryen uncle-husband.)
A SI written in the style of Fire and Blood.
