Summary
King Viserys I, in an uncharacteristic episode of foresight, deigns to no longer attempt to put a child upon his frail and ailing wife, instead content to name his only living child, Princess Rhaenyra, as heir to the Seven Kingdoms. For this act of bravery, the Gods themselves seem to bless His Grace’s reign, even if certain malcontents are set to burn the Realm to the ground rather than see a woman sit the Iron Throne.
Or; a hastily written “historical accounting” of everything chronologically from the conception of Prince Baelon (son of Viserys) to the end of Aegon III’s regency with one key difference: King Viserys named his daughter as heir and did everything in his power to secure her rise.

Summary
“There is nothing 'supposed' about my children.” she went on, each word gaining weight, “They are the future of this house. Written in law. Written in dragonfire. You may hate that. You may taste bile every time you say their titles. You may kneel at your bedside and whisper other names into your pillow. I do not care.”
“Rhaenyra,” Viserys breathed, worn and pleading.
A muscle jumped in Alicent’s cheek. “You think I wanted—”
“I think you wanted exactly what you have,” Rhaenyra cut in. “Rooms in my father’s Keep. A seat at his side. A crown that never sits right on your hair because you know you came to it on your knees.”

Summary
Warning: spoilers for Fire and Blood book, but also canon divergence.
-
Criston did not understand how all this could happen. By old rights and customs, the Gods should’ve been on their side. Queen Alicent bore King Viserys, Second of His Name, not one, not two, but three sons to take his place on the Iron Throne once his health grew too fragile to hold him in this world. However, King Viserys the Peaceful refused for decades to name a new heir in his oldest daughter Rhaenyra’s stead and started a civil war that plagued the entire Realm.
The heiress did not give up on her father’s delusion even after his death. The Princess Rhaenyra who he once served as a sworn protector and knightly shield refused to give up without a fight.
He thought he would serve her as a Queen too, once. Back then. For the years they spent together, Criston foolishly omitted to see how unfit the Princess was to sit on the Iron Throne.
-
TL;DR: The Blacks win the war, Criston's life was spared, Rhaenyra becomes the Queen and establishes her position of power.Bookmarked by Krymsin

Summary
Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
A bunch of fix-it oneshots united under the idea of small mendings taking place through the entire plot of HOtD, all the little details what could go differently and change the outcome/prevent the Dance of the Dragons.
They are not in chronological order, unfortunately, but in order in which inspiration hits me.
