Summary
***ON HIATUS***
Alicent Hightower died in 133 AC and woke up from a bad dream. Only that it was not a bad dream, but rather her past life.
Determined, Alicent wishes to avoid the Dance of Dragons and the heartbreak her father, Otto Hightower, inflicted upon her life and that of her children. But the timelines have changed. Viserys is not named heir. Aemma is sicker than before. The Old King and the Good Queen are alive.
How can Alicent stop the Dance of Dragons now? Will war come or peace will follow?
So... what if Alicent was half Targaryen? What if Ceryse Hightower would have had a daughter with Maegor, but kept the child a secret? What would happen if Daemon would marry a lady with Valyrian blood? How would Westeros change if Daemon was named heir at the Great Council?
Surprisingly, the Alicent Hightower she was born into, is no mere Hightower, but the great-great-granddaughter of Ceryse Hightower, with the blood of Maegor the Curel running through her veins.
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story is different from the original, although most characters are the ones from canon.

Summary
Shikamaru’s never felt chakra so vibrant and warm before.
The log that Naruto’s been punching shatters clean apart, reduced to little more than splinters under the devastating force of his chakra enhanced blow.
Shocked and more than a bit startled, Shikamaru wheezes loudly, the sound carrying across the clearing and causing Naruto to abruptly turn and look in his direction.
And in that single moment Shikamaru is lost.

Summary
In 97 AC, Daemon Targaryen weds Alicent Hightower. How can that change the course of history?
What follows is an alternate Dance of Dragons, between Daemon Targaryen and Rhaenyra Targaryen. The factions have shifted, alliances have brought half of the realm together for the Reds and the Rogue Prince is known by the name of "King of the Hightower". Will the Blacks stand any chance?
When dragons dance, the realm bleeds.

Summary
The second War for the Dawn is lost before it has even begun. With a little help from the Old Gods, Bran sends the last surviving Starks somewhere they can make a difference: back in time. Alone in an unfamiliar place, scattered and separated from each other, they must save the dragons and their house from death and madness. The survival of all humanity depends upon it.
Alternatively: Jon discovers just how messy that side of the family can get, Arya is forced to concede that some problems can't be solved by sticking them with the pointy end, and Sansa finally gets to play the game of thrones. This time around, it is a woman they will call Kingmaker.
(Or: What if all Alicent Hightower needed was a friend like Sansa Stark?)
