    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

     

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

     

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

     

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.

    Summary

    Viserys dies three months after naming Rhaenyra heir, and with Daemon sulking on Dragonstone, Rhaenyra ascends the throne without challenge.

    Summary

    “Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”

    Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”

    “And the Queen.”

    The smile drops from her face.

     

    OR

    [Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.

    (the bed-sharing fix-it that wonders if dragon blood really runs that hot)

    Summary

    "You alright now, mummy?" Helaena asked, swallowing her pizza.
    "I, er, there's something we need to talk to you about, actually," said Alicent.
    Aemond looked up solemnly, without speaking, having a look much smarter than the one of a two-years-old.
    "When mummy was at the hospital, the doctors found an illness in her blood, called leukaemia," Rhaenyra said. Three pairs of purple eyes turned to her, two clouded with confusion, one with alert.
    Aegon spat what he had in his mouth, "mum's got cancer?!"
    "Yes," Alicent said simply.

    Or: Alicent has cancer. The family learns to get around this new situation.
