    Summary

    After three centuries under Southern dominion, the Stark wolf once again reigns supreme in an independent North, a kingdom reborn from the ashes of war, now striving to forge its own destiny. Yet, south of the Neck, the dragons have returned. House Targaryen, precariously perched upon the Iron Throne in King's Landing, dreams of reuniting all Seven Kingdoms under their banner. Their tenuous grip on the southern realms is threatened by internal strife and the scars of their brutal conquest, but their ambition to reclaim the North remains undiminished, setting the stage for a new, inevitable clash between ancient loyalties and imperial desire.

She hit the Septa too.
    --

    A series of one-shots about the life and adventures of Princess Alyssa, daughter of Baelon, sister to Viserys and Daemon, rider of the Cannibal, and nightmare of the men of the realm.

    Summary

    The next week, not even waiting for his brother's wedding, Aemon Targaryen quit Westeros and sailed upon Corwyn Velaryon's ship, the Wanderer, to Lys, and it was known to the court he was to visit his mother's tomb out of filial piety. Yet with him were all his companions, and there were rumours in a particular tavern, that seven swore upon the Seven never to set foot again in the realm as long as the Princes Viserys and Aegon drew breath.

    Summary

    House Targaryen were the Last Dragonlords of Old Valyria, But there were determined not to let the Glory of their Ancient homeland perish and so with their allies sought to build a better and glorious future in Westeros. With ambitions to match the legendary Bran the Builder, Cunning to outsmart Lann the Clever and prosperity to put the Garth Green hand to shame, House Targaryen would begin a decades long effort to build for each generation a greater legacy.

    An alternate history of Westeros with a much more ambitious and reformist House Targaryen, one which builds a much more intricate system for governing the Realm and is not content with having enough, one which did not stop breaking the status quo by forging the Iron Throne. Starting from before the Reign of Aegon the Conqueror.

    Does NOT follow the Same Timeline as We Make the Garden Bloom.

    Summary

    What if the man's cloak had been white instead of black?

    What if he had taken her east instead of north?

    What if she was an old squire's page instead of an orphan boy?

    It is Ser Barristan Selmy who helps Arya Stark escape King's Landing, in spite of all sense, in spite of the voices telling him not to, in spite of their diverging paths. He saves her, because that's what true knights do, isn't it?

    If only it were that simple.

    TL;DR - Arya goes to Essos two books early, seeking a dragon queen instead of a death cult.
