Summary
Aizen wins. And Aizen likes to win, but Aizen also really, really, really likes to gloat -- so everyone lives.
Some are happier about it than others.

Summary
The Dance of the Dragons is over.
King Aegon II Targaryen sits upon the Iron Throne and the ashes of his older half-sister, Rhaenyra Targaryen, are scattered to the wind. To cement the end to the conflict between the Greens and the Blacks, Aegon temporarily names his nephew, Aegon the Younger, as heir to the Iron Throne and marries the boy’s older half-sister, Valaena Velaryon. Shall become like the bitter man that raised him, broken and twisted in body and mind, or rise above the shackles of neglect that brought about the very war that destroyed his family?
Valaena Velaryon is tried of war. To free her brothers from the burden of the damned Iron Throne that has cost their family so much, she agrees to her uncle’s proposal of marriage—knowing full well that she is following in her mother’s footsteps—and becomes his queen—knowing he does not love her and never will.
The stage is set and a dance of another kind begins. All wars must end, but unless things are changed, history is doomed to repeat and the House of the Dragon might well and truly end.Bookmarked by apocalypse_soon

Summary
Hand turns spool,
Spool of green,
Spool of blue and spool of black.
Dragons of flesh weaving dragons of thread.
Though shown with three heads,
Only one can wear the crown
And leave the others dead.In other words, what if Rhaenyra Targaryen had been born a boy?

Summary
Alicent knew what her father wanted, and knew what could happen if she went directly against his wishes. However, she could never betray her friend in such a way and continued to push the king and Rhaenyra to reconcile after the tragic death of Queen Aemma. However, her father is not the only one who sees Alicent as a pawn to be used within House Targaryen.
Wishing to reconcile with his brother and have him back for his wedding to the very young Laena Velaryon, King Viserys orders his brother back to King’s Landing with the promise of the one thing Daemon wanted more than the throne: an annulment from his wife Rhea Royce. However, upon his return, Daemon learns that his brother has another bride already lined up for him: Lady Alicent Hightower.
The tentative strings of a song have been plucked and a dance is about to begin. The color of some of the players may have changed, but the song must be played for destiny is a terrible thing and dreams are not always as they seem.- Language:

Summary
It goes like this: Criston has lived for twenty-two years until he remembers a life before this one. He is kneeling before King Viserys Targaryen, the First of His Name, and his wife and daughter, the blood roaring in his ears as his limbs shake with pain and exhaustion. A distance away, Prince Daemon, the king’s brother, glares at him, nursing his wounds. His morningstar lies off to the side, discarded in favor of the crown of laurels he cradles in his hands.
or
A young man, reincarnated as Criston Cole, remembers his past life, and Rhaenyra Targaryen is forever changed for it. For better or for worse, Westeros is set on a different path.
