Summary
Her words are 'We Light the Way.'
Her eyes are green like dreams, and she knows she will be nothing but a captive to her womb, her babes, and the blood they will hold at her father's behest. She was someone else once. In the future she has seen, in the world she has read in the pages of a book, seen acted out on screen, her son will set the Dragons Dancing.
Alicent Hightower laughs at the mere thought she would be subject to anyone but her own choices.

Summary
**NOTE: This is a 'What if Book!Rhaenyra was put into Show!Rhaenyra's body' fic sooo be prepared**
In 130 AC, Rhaenyra Targaryen dies a traitor’s death—devoured by her brother’s dragon, abandoned by lords, and betrayed by blood. But then death puts her back into a body not quite her own, this one younger, stronger; as well as dropped into a timeline where her enemies haven’t yet moved...
A second chance lies before her.
Determined to win the game that once destroyed her, Rhaenyra plays it differently this time—with cunning, calculation, and an unrelenting grip on power. Daemon remains as dangerous as ever, all temptation and chaos in a prince’s skin. But it’s Laena—clever, commanding, still very much alive—who offers her something far rarer than loyalty: a shared ambition.
This time, Rhaenyra won’t just survive. She’ll rule. This time, there is no such thing as mercy.
Rhaenyra does not care whose body she has to step over to seize what was stolen from her.
Power is pleasure, and she’s taking both.

Summary
In the tenth year of the reign of King Viserys I, a strange malady befell both his queen and his daughter. Queen Aemma Arryn was the first to sicken, seized by a fever so violent that her ladies feared she would be lost before dawn. Before a day had passed the princess was stricken by the very same heat.
For three days and three nights the court was cloaked in terror. The king kept vigil beside his wife and child in turn, unwilling to leave either chamber for long, while the maesters whispered of humors and contagion but found no sure cure. Prayers were spoken at every hour, and more than one lord muttered that House Targaryen’s line stood on the edge of ruin.
Yet as suddenly as it had come upon them, the fever broke. On the morning of the fourth day, Queen Aemma called for water, and not long after Princess Rhaenyra asked for food. Both rose from their beds as if nothing at all had passed between life and death, pale but unharmed, as though the sickness had been no more than a shadow fleeting across their shared blood.

Summary
“Princess, there's been an accident.”
Rhaenyra Targaryen has lived her whole life in the shadow of her mother’s death and her father’s disappointment. When King Viserys falls during a royal hunt, the crown passes to her—a girl of fifteen, unwed, untested, and utterly alone.
Having been seated on the Iron Throne sooner than expected, Rhaenyra must now learn to wield power in a court that would rather control—or destroy—her. Allies are few, enemies are everywhere, and every smile hides a blade.
But amid dragons and deceit, she finds two unexpected lights: Laena Velaryon, who understands the fire that burns within her, and Harwin Strong, whose loyalty may cost him everything.
In a realm ruled by men, Rhaenyra must decide what kind of queen she will be—and what pieces of her heart she’s willing to sacrifice for the crown.

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.

How dare Criston –
How dare Alicent –
And even her own father –She’d been letting the Hightowers choose their battlefields for years now, since she was naught but a heartbroken girl of eight who had lost her mother and brother in a single day. She had been letting them make their moves without challenge, but no longer.
Alicent had worn a banner of War, and Criston had chosen his side.One should never poke a passive dragon, no matter how docile or pretty it appeared, lest they be faced with fire and blood.
