Summary
Rhaenyra and Alicent have a second chance, many years later in the heart of the Pacific Ocean on Earth. Can they avoid the path their souls walked before?
This is a Rhaenicent Uberfic where the principal characters of The House of the Dragon are reincarnated in 19th century Hawai'i. Both Rhaenyra and Alicent have a dim sense of the lives they lived before. But born into a parallel of the situation they knew in their past lives, can they stop themselves from being ripped apart in yet another life?
Definition of Uberfic, for those who haven't heard before: https://fanlore.org/wiki/Uber "An Uber-Xena story takes the essence of the characters and places them in another time, another place, or another reality.[2] The uber characters do not have the same names and do not have to be mirror images of the canon characters. Sometimes they are descendants or reincarnations; usually they resemble the originals physically, and they share the same type of bond."
Or, simply put, a reincarnation story which plays authentically to the time and place of the reincarnation. Please see the Notes for a Dramatis Personae -- a listing of all the names of the characters in this story and who they are in HotD terms.

Daenerys and Three: An Essay Series on How The Book Endings Will, Despite Similar Plot Points, Be Extremely Different From The Show by SS47_GoT for Wardown
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
In my two major works and my third minor one, I always utilize one simple factoid: Daenerys Targaryen, along with Jon Snow, is the child of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. This is not a theory to me; it's a truth that's yet to be confirmed, but that will be.
Many of us absolutely hated the show's ending, but it's my belief that, despite that the show absolutely butchered it, D&D did use some of GRRM's bullet points in writing it. I just think they were massively misused, often in the wrong order, and in the wrong system.
In this essay series, 3 parts and a bonus part where I clearly lay out an ending I find possible given my beliefs and some of the show's bullet points, I lay out my proofs for how I believe the story of Jon and Daenerys ties in with the historical legends of Azor Ahai, Nissa Nissa, the Bloodstone Emperor, and the Amethyst Empress. Who is Azor Ahai, and how the legend will, and indeed has, come to fruition, and finally, all my evidence for the truth of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow being brother and sister.

Summary
Daena Duleep-Singh Targarioni (her birth family was Armenian. Really.) adventurer, Sikh, and adopted heiress of the Punjab and the largest estate in England, veteran of the Women's Battalion of Death and the Russian Civil War, has a new friend in a nice club in Old Shanghai, International Concession. Her dear bosom friends and war comrades, her Lieutenant in the Death Battalion, the Kuban Cossack Valentina Igorovna Syromakha, and her former enemy, the crossdressing Jewish Unteroffizier of the Imperial German Army and talented engineer, Margrete Hoffmeyer, are both a little worried. Their Princess' new squeeze is very pretty, and talking about some plan to put the deposed Emperor of China back on a new throne. It's called Manchukuo, and her name is Yoshiko Kawashima.
But can /they/ stop her, when Daena doesn't even want to listen to the ghost of her Grandmother? Visenya Targaryen would very much like to remind Daena that a Valyrian Stormsinger and Bloodmage has more important things to do than card games with her latest lesbian affair. Where are the heirs!? (Daena would rather fly the latest crack Seversky monoplane and romance a cute girl, that's where!)

Summary
It has been a while since King Euron Greyjoy, Lord Reaper of the Pyke and Son of the Seawind, took his rebellious niece prisoner. Yara shows strength, honor and dignity. Failing to break her down, he decided to teach her a lesson on what happens to women not knowing their places as obedient followers. Reality, thought, is having none of that.
P.S. The fic is devoted to my beautiful, gorgeous, strong, intelligent and beloved wife. In many ways, she did for me what Dany did for Yara.

Summary
chss encouraged me to write my own modern AU. I obliged.
Unlike many other modern AUs, this one starts with the observation that Robert Baratheon sort of reminds me of a particularly noteworthy (and not in a good way) world leader from the 1990s.
In which former members of the Royal Family of Westeros, Rhaenys and Aegon and Daenerys struggle to find their way and Dorne struggles to overcome the past, in a world of racism, neoliberal economics, strong cigarettes, strong liquor, decaying infrastructure, and corrupt autocratic presidents.

Summary
The line is drawn and things begin to happen.
When King Rhaegar Targaryen arrives to Winterfell to meet with Eddard Stark, desitions are made regarding the future, to look forward and pust the past behind, with an invitation to Eddard to take a position on the Smallcouncil and bring his heir with him.
For the most part, Robb does not see anything unusuall until he makes an interesting aquanintance, and thus, meddles himself by accident on a plot that could change destiny forever.

Summary
When Jon Snow commits treason and plunges his blade into Daenerys' breast, the Lord of Light is not finished with Azor Ahai. Drogon lands in Volantis--Quaithe mysteriously arrives to guide Kinvara. By sacrifice, amid smoke and fire and blood, Daenerys again takes breath, damaged and twisted by her death, but remembering three cardinal convictions, three objectives to guide a second chance at life: Liberty, Revenge, and Family. The world overturns in War, and a young girl from the aristocracy of Old Volantis is challenged by her family's ancient connection to the Dragon Queen. This story is beta-read and directly contributed to by Wardown, and inspired by discussions with him, as well as a request to Wardown by Morrika. Chapters in which Wardown contributes with full scenes are attributed as such.
Will update on Sundays going forward.
Chapter 28 has now been added to (19/08/2021)
