Summary
Beth is eight years old and watching Scooby-Doo reruns with her little brother when she remembers that she died. Blood and twisted metal swim in her vision as the screen goes to static, and Jonathan’s too busy whining at the screen to notice the way she stops breathing.
Eventually, she lays down on the brown carpet and goes back to watching cartoons.(Jonathan is her little brother, and it’s her job to look after him while Mom watches Will.
Jonathan is six, and Beth is eight, and Beth is nineteen and dead.
She figures she can break down later, when he’s not there to see it.)

Summary
In another world Rhaenyra would choose none of the suitors she was presented during her tour, and would even cut the tour short. She would be made to marry Laenor Velaryon, who could give her no heirs, and the children she bore while married to him would become part of the reasoning for the civil war that would bring an end to the height of Targaryen power... This is not that world.
The song is changed, a new dance to be danced to it's tune, but even a different dance may repeat some of the steps of the last. All that can be hoped is that this dance is just different enough to change where this dance ends, and on what note the song's last chord is played.

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.
Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.
