Summary
Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.
But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.
As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the best stories I've ever read. A deliciously long dance.

Summary
'Tell me,' he said over the snapping flames, the gentle glow casting his face partially in shadow, while pronouncing his eyes, 'do you miss it?"
Picking at her food, her journal securely held in her lap, she fiddled with the glued binding. 'My home, you mean, or my time?' 'Are they not the same' he posed, lifting the corner of his mouth when she met his gaze. She looked away, unable to answer.Bookmarked by AuroraAstera

Summary
“I’m on a pilgrimage!” Alina said. “It’s just… it’s what we do! All the eldest and most staid of my sisters have done it. We get restless, and we know it’s time to fall, so we come down here and we find the thing that completes us, whatever we lack that has left us feeling so out of sorts. A purpose. And I came down here, and everyone immediately seemed so certain of my purpose, of what I could do, and who I came here for. You all handed me the instructions on your doorstep. So I thought it would be easy!"

Alina isn't a Sun Summoner, but a fallen star. The only problem is, no one knows that fallen stars are a thing that exist - least of all the Black Heretic.

Summary
Alina Starkov was born afraid of the dark, with strange illnesses and terrifying spells she could never explain. Her face is the face of the enemy, and even with her unusual skills, hiding is the only safe option.
But when she is discovered as a fabled Sun Summoner, a mythical Grisha so rare that they’ve been seen before, Alina’s carefully constructed world is shattered.
And when the formidable Darkling, General Kirigan continues to take an interest in her for reasons she doesn’t understand, Alina must make a choice between choosing to follow the rules that have kept her safe all her life, or risk her freedom and her heart to find out who she really is.
After all, when there's blood in the water, there are no safe places to hide.
