Summary
In reaction to Ser Harwin and Lord Lyonel Strongs' deaths at Harrenhal, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen decides to be a little more politically active and arranges a marriage between her only daughter and young Kermit Tully, great-grandson of Lord Grover Tully and eventual Lord of Riverrun, with the implicit suggestion that, in return, the Tullys and their banners would flock to her support should the unimaginable happen.
Which would be fine, as far as Valaena Velaryon was concerned. If only a certain Blackwood wasn't so damned irritating and didn't take up so much space in her head...
OR:
Valaena Velaryon is betrothed to Kermit Tully. The heart wants what it wants, however, and what it wants is not necessarily a politically wise move.

Summary
Alicent is more sure of it than anything: this is her big break. Her chance at academic infamy. Her escape from the mire of her old life. But can the archaeology survive under the stress of fraying political tensions and old, broken friendships? Can she?
Rhaenyra is drowning. She is suffocating, and no one can help. There must be something she can do to break the surface, something reckless and death-defying that will free her before she itches right out of her ill-fitting skin. And lo and behold: a catalyst crashes her father’s spring dinner party.

Summary
Viserra rolls her shoulders back as the crown settles on her head. She lifts her chin.
I will inherit you bloody, she thinks viciously as one by one each of them kneel, if that’s what it takes to inherit you at all.

Summary
-
She should not belong here, in their foreign lands with their foreign customs. She was not born to share her bed with wildlings and heathens. She is proud and noble and beautiful, and a Targaryen all the same.
or
What if a daughter flew North to treat with Lord Stark, rather than a son?
