A better Known World
Written in the Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, and the A Song of Ice and Fire Worlds: alternate universe/canon diverging either by a little or a lot and sometimes by introducing new characters. These are both ongoing and completed but are at least read and recommended by me! Feel free to join and recommend some yourselves!

Summary
Elia Martell expected to die in King's Landing, but through some force found herself in the home of a war-weary Harry Potter. She just wants to return to Westeros; wants to see her family, wants the sandy dunes of Dorne and the peace of the Water Gardens. Aegon and Rhaenys are all she has, and for their sake she might have to reclaim a throne that nearly cost them everything.
Harry Potter had died in his war and returned to a Wizarding World hell-bent on remaining in the throes of war-time politics. He was tired of Magical Britain, tired of fighting a useless war, but he has a son to care for and no force on earth would stop him from doing so.
Raising three kids is hard, raising two of them to eventually rule a kingdom even harder, especially when you’re trying to find a way to Westeros.

Summary
Every morning Daelyra Targaryen wakes up and chooses violence. (Figuratively, at least.)
It might be because she’s Daemon Targaryen’s daughter. It might be because her soul is from another world. It might be because her dragon blood runs hotter than most, and that means more than she knew it could. It might be because the dragon that chose her is the most vicious of them all. It might be because she's a woman on a mission.
So many might-be’s, but one thing is certain: she wasn’t meant to exist, and the sole fact that she does was enough to knock the world off its axis.
Why not push the change further?
Or: Targaryens really aren’t human and expecting them to conform to human standards rarely ends well, and sometimes an unhinged woman with an unhinged dragon is all the world needs to prevent a disaster long in the making.

Summary
It is said that during the second great quarrel of King Jaehaerys and Alysanne that the king made many an attempt to force his wife to reconcile. The following edict is still active during the days of the reign of King Viserys the First, who was loathe to change any law enacted by his predecessor no matter how small. It would change the Dance of Dragons and the lives of those involved immeasurably.
Winter Edict of the King Jaehaerys the First in the year 89 AC :
The Queen, immediate family of the King, and Prince of Dragonstone should henceforth winter with the monarch in the Red Keep of King’s Landing in order to conserve resources of the crown and strengthen ties. When the white raven of the citadel is received the royal family is to return the palace at once and together they will remain until the white ravens are dispatched once more to signal the start of spring. So sayeth his majesty, King Jaehaerys the First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.
OR
In which Rhaenyra and Laenor having a daughter changes the timeline. Sometimes for good, sometimes for ill, depending on which way you look at it....

Summary
“Hate.” She mutters looking up from her hands to Alicent. “I could never hate you Alicent. No matter how hard I try I could never hate you.”
“Then why-“
“You really don’t know.” Rhaenyra stops Alicent question. If they are going to have this talk then she is going to be the one in control. Alicent shakes her head. Clarity erupts within Rhaenyra. She had known. It was all in her head. Alicent wasn’t aware of her feelings. Alicent never felt the same way. It was just something Rhaenyra had built up on her head to make herself feel better. To assure herself that what she was feeling wasn’t wrong. “I loved you Alicent.”
