    Summary

    Just two people buried in melancholy, connected by one defiant princess, now brought together again. What follows was either sin or salvation, depending on your view of things.

     

    (Or: the unlikely and probably quite illogical connection of Alicent Hightower and Harwin Strong)

    Summary

    Helaena never wanted to kill anyone, that much was true.

    But it's also true that she has never had much of a choice.
    ___

    (Rhaenyra is greeted by a sister at Dragonstone, rather than a brother. The final conversation spins out differently and yet very much the same)

    Summary

    “I swear before the gods, if you do to her what you did to my mother, no force in this world will stop me from killing you this time.”

    Rhaenyra Targaryen had sworn she would never again show mercy to the woman who shattered her heart and placed her father’s crown upon her own head.

    But when a storm-lashed night leaves Alicent Hightower suspended between life and death, everything Rhaenyra has spent years burying claws its way back to the surface.

    Some bonds do not rot with time.

    Some loves do not die with betrayal.

    And some fates will always find their way back to one another, no matter how desperately they are denied.

    Summary

    Her desperate swing makes the rock connect with his temple. A harsh strike to that vulnerable spot that has felled so many larger men before him. Alicent hears a sickening crunch before the man looming over her crumples to the floor at her feet.

    Shock grips her by the throat as she looks down. Eyes widening as she stares in alarm at the ever-expanding pool of blood spreading beneath his still form. The wound in his head is bleeding profusely. (Is he–is he dead?) Her breathing stutters out of constricted lungs, her heart races as the realization catches up to her: she killed somebody.

    Or:
    What if Alicent had killed Lord Jasper? An alternate take on the Fall of King’s Landing.
