Summary
King Aerys Targaryen's extreme paranoia delays Rhaegar's betrothal to Elia Martell until he is twenty-two. But when the King suspects the Starks of plotting against him, he breaks the betrothal to promise his eldest son to the noble house's only daughter, Lyanna Stark.
The arrangement does not sit well with either party. The fourteen year old Lyanna resists her cage and her new husband; the older Rhaegar finds himself discomforted by her immaturity and willful nature. The king's madness worsens, and intrigue further interrupts the already volatile atmosphere of King's Landing.
In the North, Brandon's reckless behavior puts him, and Ned, in an uncomfortable situation, while thousands of miles south, the Martells stews over the insult paid to Elia. Somewhere in the middle, a storm lord still desires the girl he was meant to have while a lioness plots her way into power.
or
Lyanna marries Rhaegar and everything happens except love at first sight.

Summary
""Who are you?" She ground out, the icy words slicing through the air.
That arrow could punch straight through my chest. And she knows it.
As if reading his mind, the girl's mouth twisted into a smirk, "You really shouldn't test me. It'd be a shame to ruin such a fine body for such a simple question."
Rhaegar hoped the shadows aided him in the lies he was about to tell.
"We are landless knights from the South. We heard rumors of increased wildling attacks along the Wall and figured we'd take it upon ourselves to help protect the greatest part of the Seven Kingdoms. What knight doesn't wish for wild adventures in the snow?"
The girl scoffed, but lowered her bow. "If you're landless knights, then I'm the Maiden herself. That flowery speech will get you nothing but trouble here.""
**
After avoiding an undesirable betrothal, the Crown Prince is sent to spy on the Starks for the King, who is convinced the Warden of the North plans treachery. Rhaegar finds there is more to the North than endless snow, Lyanna is exhausted by duty in a male-dominated world, while Ned struggles with a conflicted heart and Rickard looks to his legacy.

Summary
Still unmarried and unbetrothed, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen is urged to find a bride at the tourney at Harrenhal. With King Aerys growing more unhinged as each day passes, the Dragon Prince must secure his line in order to overthrow the Mad King.
Lyanna Stark is chosen to wed the prince, much to her displeasure, and must leave the North to play princess with the dragons. But she quickly learns that the fire burns deadly in the royal family, and winter has no place in King's Landing.
Hell, she finds, is empty and all the devils are at Court.

Summary
AU: Baelon Targaryen, son of King Viserys and Queen Aemma survives, so Princess Rhaenyra is never named an heir to the Iron Throne.
-
She met him on the day her mother died.When Princess Rhaenyra asked Ser Harrold about the unknown knight from an unknown house who excelled in every duel he´s taken up, she got very little as an answer.
That perhaps prompted her curiosity. She always liked mysteries.
And when he walked up to the royal balcony after kicking her proud uncle into dust to ask for her favour, Ser Criston removed his helmet, she was in awe.
A warrior skilled and handsome. Even with the patch of fresh blood in the corner of his mouth, the courtesy of Prince Daemon, face smeared with sweat, the sight made her young heart flutter.

Summary
"Let us leave it all behind and see the world together, where we'll be nameless and free. Free to go where we like, to love as we like. In Essos, you could marry me. A marriage for love, not for the crown."
In one world Rhaenyra refuses, reminding her shield that she is the Crown.
In this one she does not.Years later forgotten duty calls her home as the kingdom is threatened to be torn apart by the civil war.
