    Summary

    "Heaven has been promised to the righteous / Hell's an overpopulated pit / Purgatory's given to the dreamers / But the world belongs to those who plough the shit." - Ben Caplan, 'Plough the Shit'.

    In the year 129 AC, as a civil war erupts on mainland Westeros, a homeless thief named Nettles climbs out of the gutter and onto a dragon's back.

    Five years later, she is seen for the last time, fleeing deeper into the Mountains of the Moon, a trail of dead and dying soldiers in her wake.

    This is the story of what happened in between.

    Summary

    After twelve years of marriage, Prince Maegor and his wife Ceryse Hightower have at long-last conceived a child!

    The realm rejoices... or would be, if Aegon the Conqueror were not on his funeral bier and his heir, Aenys, was not such an indecisive man-child.

    Ceryse is thrilled... or would be, if someone could tell her what is going on, where she is, and why her husband keeps launching into villainous monologues.

    Summary

    Written in the vague style of Fire & Blood, I present an alternate history of House Targaryen, beginning with Aegon I's death in Dorne, rather than Rhaenys'.

    Summary

    ...until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.

    She stood out among the royal party – Eddard noticed her almost immediately. She was the image of Robert – tall and still growing taller, broad shouldered, with thick black hair and a sharp jaw. But there was something of the queen in her, too; in her lips, her brows, and most of all in her green eyes. She would have been a great beauty, but she stood slump-shouldered, dowdy, with her eyes on the ground. Someone had dressed the poor thing in a fussy gown of black silk, cloth of gold and Myrish lace that only served to make her shoulders seem wider. Queen Cersei muttered something in the ear of her eldest child, irritable, and the princess straightened her shoulders.
