    Summary

    When Stannis was gone, Renly couldn’t help but look up once more, towards the comet hanging in the sky. Bright red, and so far away. It had appeared last night and would surely vanish from the sky within the evening, having continuing its course through space away from the planet with no name where Renly had been reborn. The planet where, he knew, he would face dragons and monsters born from the cold.

    Renly turned away. The comet did not mean anything. He had more pressing matters to attend anyway. He was going North to meet the infamous Ned Stark. With any luck, maybe he would finally find the beginning of the Plot.

    Or maybe the Plot would find him.

     

    (Self-Insert with nearly no knowledge of canon reborn as Renly Baratheon.)

    Summary

    King Aerys II was no madman, but a man of calculation, a king who understood that power was a blade to be wielded with precision.

    His forebears had ruled with fire and blood, but the dragons were gone. Without them, Targaryens needed a different strategy. Strength alone would not keep the throne secure—marriage alliances would. Two of his three children were now spoken for, their futures dictated by the crown’s needs.

    His heir, Rhaegar, would be wed on the morrow to Cersei Lannister, the only daughter of his Hand, Lord Tywin. His middle child, Shaena, was promised to the heir of Lord Rickard Stark, a bond meant to keep the North loyal.

     

    A pre-ASOIAF AU, where King Aerys was not mad and his daughter Shaena wasn't stillborn.

    Summary

    Some people should not be born. There are two categories: there are the Joffreys and Ramseys, who the realm would be better off without, and there is the one Lyonel, who would certainly have been mentioned in canon if he was meant to exist at all.
