    Summary

    The tragedy that befell Lucerys Velaryon at Storm’s End was never planned, on this all of our sources agree. The first battles in the Dance of the Dragons were fought with quills and ravens, with threats and promises, decrees and blandishments. The murder of Lord Beesbury at the green council was not yet widely known; most believed his lordship to be languishing in some dungeon. Whilst sundry familiar faces were no longer seen about court, no heads had appeared above the castle gates, and many still hoped that that the question of succession might be resolved peaceably.

    The Stranger had other plans. For surely it was his dread hand behind the ill chance that brought the two princelings together at Storm’s End, when the dragon Arrax raced before a gathering storm to deliver Lucerys Velaryon to the safety of the castle yard, only to find Aemond Targaryen there before him.

    And with Lucerys's death, the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest.


    Or, Lucerys is killed over Shipbreaker Bay as he was always fated to be. Only this time he doesn't stay dead.

     

    Mostly.

    Summary

    Sansa Stark breathed her last and awoke in a body that was hers but with a name that was not her own: Sara Snow.

    In 129 AC, the North faced a dire need for food and clothing to prepare for the harsh winter ahead. Cregan Stark, Lord of Winterfell, legitimized his sister, Sara Snow, as Sara Stark, hoping to secure the support necessary to help the North endure the coming cold months.

    In King's Landing, Otto and Alicent Hightower and the small council formulate a brilliant plan after crowning Aegon as King of the Seven Kingdoms: they will gain the support of the Baratheons or the Starks in the upcoming war against Rhanerya by offering the second Prince, Aemond Targaryen, to wed. The Baratheons are closer to King's Landing, but the northerners are said to have strong, loyal men.

    ***
    Or, in this version, the Hightowers send Aemond to Winterfell instead of Storm's End. Lucerys survives, and Sansa (Sara) finds herself betrothed to Aemond One-Eye Targaryen.

    An enemies-to-lovers, arranged marriage story, non-canon, where the Dance of the Dragons still happens but in a much different way.

    Summary

    The Dance of Dragons follows a different path: Aegon II dies at the Rook's Rest, and Prince Jacaerys miraculously survives Battle in the Gullet. Now he needs to secure a path to the throne for his mother and himself, as well as fulfill his duty by marrying Baela. However, many people aspire to the Iron Throne, and staying on it is not an easy task when there are traitors around. Even his own heart betrays Jace, tying him to the girl from house Hightower.

    Summary

    Sara dreams. Has always dreamt.

     

    She dreams of blood. Madness. Monsters of men and monsters that come with winter - the blue of their eyes empty of any soul…
    She walks knee deep in snow to the Heart Tree. The cold seeps through her cloak - biting at the fragile skin of her fingers. She presses herself to the bark, never looking away from the ancient face there. A demand. A challenge. Those ancient eyes stare back, - holding her steady while her body burns, fresh bloody tears pouring onto the white bark.
