    Summary

    AU — Robert marries Rhaegar
    The Seven Kingdoms at last settle after years of upheaval. Robert Baratheon sits the throne, his rule secured with a Targaryen consort by his side.

    The young prince and princess of House Targaryen are raised in Storm’s End, where they might not pose a threat to the crown.

    All the while, House Lannister attempts to regain what dishonor they lost in the war, with a new heir to Casterly Rock — and elsewhere, House Martell still lick their wounds.

    And Lord Stark, who once stood so close to the king, is absent, and will be for years to come.

    Summary

    "No hope in the air, / No hope in the water, / Not even for me, / Your last serving daughter." - Laura Marling, 'Hope in the Air.'

    Gwen brings to mind Quellon’s doomed reforms and the stares and gossip that followed him, once the most renowned and famed of all Ironborn, at the end of his life. How the mighty have fallen. Balon will be glad to be rid of her; once she’s married, she’s no longer his responsibility, even if she’s widowed. He doesn’t want to have to so much look at her again, not anymore than he did after the Rebellion, when she did nothing but weep and cling to his increasingly unhinged wife.

    …The greenlanders were formed from clay and sand and mud, and once you dunk them in water, they crumble and drown. The Ironborn were forged from stone and steel; their God loves them so that He made them unbreakable, undaunted, undefeated. Except when they are defeated. And then He loves them a little less.

    (In which Quellon's final child by his last wife, a stillborn daughter, survives.)

    Summary

    Rhaenyra watches her infant cousin as she’s unloaded from the wheelhouse along with her wet nurse and thinks what an awful lot of trouble she is for something so small.

    From her name – Daenerys, after the daughter of Jaehaerys and Alysanne who died – to the dragon egg her father stole for her. Ser Otto nearly had a conniption when he heard. To think of it; the baseborn get of a Lysene dancing girl, named for a princess and cradled with a prince’s egg.

    A dead princess and a dead prince, Uncle Daemon had japed on Dragonstone’s causeway. Neither of them will mind.

    (Or, Daemon and Mysaria's bastard child survives.)
