Summary
Princess Daenora Targaryen was born beneath watchful eyes.
Her father dreamt of dragons and it consumed him. A sorceress held her first. From her earliest days, the child did not weep as others did. She watched.
In the Red Keep, such things do not go unnoticed.
While kings weigh daughters as future alliances and queens whisper Dornish prayers over their cradles, Daenora’s fate entwines itself with that of her cousin, Prince Aerion Targaryen — a prince as brilliant as he is perilous. Where others shrink from his pride and growing cruelty, Daenora finds herself drawn ever closer, as though flame calls to flame.
What begins as fascination deepens into devotion. What should have been caution becomes allegiance. And in a house built on fire and blood, devotion may prove the deadliest spark of all.
For some dragons are destined to rule.
Others are destined to burn.
Perhaps, this time, as rare as it can be, they might be amongst those who will do both - together.
*A reimagined story of Princess Daenora - daughter of Prince Rhaegel and wife to Prince Aerion Targaryen*

Summary
After the Trial of Seven at Ashford, the death of Baelor Targaryen shatters the dynasty. The blow came from his own brother’s weapon — and though it was declared a tragic accident, few truly believe it. Suspicion spreads through the Red Keep, settling deep within the heart of Saefyra Targaryen, Baelor’s youngest daughter. Consumed by a relentless grief, Saefyra lives suspended between denial and fury, unable to accept her father’s absence. Every glance she casts at Maekar is a silent accusation.
Maekar carries a burden he cannot share. He feels he failed as a brother and as a man, yet he must maintain the image of someone unbreakable before a court that watches him with doubt. He continues to breathe — but something inside him never left that field.
Distance offers them no relief. The more they avoid one another, the heavier the other’s presence becomes. Saefyra cannot understand why her hatred falters when their eyes meet. Maekar does not know how to stand before her without carrying the weight of what was lost. And in the narrow space between pain and longing, something fragile and forbidden begins to take shape — as if their broken hearts insist on beating in the same rhythm.

Summary
History was written by the survivors, and Rhaenyra Targaryen was not meant to be one. Her story ended in dragonfire and ash, her name scrubbed from the tapestries of the Red Keep, her legacy reduced to a cautionary tale whispered to rulers who feared their own downfall.
She was supposed to die by fire. Instead, she awakened in a peaceful Westeros that remembered her only as "the Pretender".
At the tourney of Ashford, she crossed paths with Baelor Breakspear who was a prince, widower and heir to a realm that prided itself on stability. A man forged in iron rules and honor, Baelor has studied the histories of the Dance. He knew the queen who had nearly torn the Seven Kingdoms apart. However, he never expected to meet her.
Least of all when she struck his nephew and almost fractured his father's fragile peace.
What did it mean to protect someone who was already dead? How could a prince rule a peaceful realm while being haunted by a queen he could not claim to know? And when duty demanded distance, why did he hesitate?

Summary
Baelor Breakspear died beneath a summer sky, struck down in a tourney meant to celebrate peace. The realm would remember a noble end. A prince lost to honor, a future king undone by a single blow. Songs would make it beautiful. History would make it clean.
He expected darkness. Instead, he woke to dragons. Salt wind and smoke filled the air as black cliffs rose from a restless sea, living wings splitting the sky above him. Not bones. Not legend. But fire made flesh.
A silver-haired princess stood in mourning at the edge of it all. In his time, Rhaenyra Targaryen was a cautionary tale written in ash, the queen whose war destroyed the dragons. Here, she still had a choice, and so did he.
Baelor knew how her story ended. He also understood that if he changed it, the future that bore his name, his late wife, his sons and his blood might vanish entirely.
So the question becomes: was he sent back to witness the Dance… or to end it? And if saving her means erasing himself, how much of history is he willing to let burn?
