Summary
A series of flashes in her mind: Rhaenyra’s head in her lap under the weirwood tree, her crystalline eyes alight. Syrax, saddled for two, soaring across the Narrow Sea to worlds unknown. The ripped page she still keeps locked away in her chambers, alongside a piece of her heart.
Alicent can no longer afford to cling to Rhaenyra’s words like a promise. Yet after the longest of winters, there’s something addictive about the possibility of being consumed by dragonfire.
or, Rhaenyra returns on dragonback. Alicent feels her presence like the rising sun. Post-1x08.

Summary
When words of the Greens’ attempt at a coup reaches her ears, Rhaenyra does not listen to reason. She reunites her strongest allies and flies for King's Landing with fire as her shield and spear. It is perhaps by chance or simple fate that she arrives just in time to seize the throne before it can be stolen from her heritage, the traitorous side of her house fleeing to Oldtown when Aegon is brought to the Keep only after their plans have been crushed.
A month passes, and their side convinces small folks to rebel more than the black council had first hoped. Hiding unattainable in a tower, locked in the continent's richest city, there is little left for them to do than pray for the Greens to betray themselves.
All seems to point toward the direction of war - that is, until the Dowager Queen is captured and brought kneeling to her throne.
or,
Alicent becomes Rhaenyra's prisoner, held captive in the dungeons as a valuable pawn in a war that can still be avoided. Being reunited with her first love, however, will cause more disturbance than the crown initially thought - a situation worsened by their souls slowly latching further onto one another.

Summary
Just a few months before the six remaining Hargreeves siblings turn seventeen- and a few months before the mission that takes another from them- Number Five comes back.
It's hard enough to come to terms with your new little brother spending two years in the apocalypse, and harder still trying to figure out how to stop that ever happening. Especially when you can't go less than ten minutes without someone shouting over absolutely nothing, and your absolute nightmare of a father trying to rip apart any progress you make at getting along, and plans of running away becoming more and more unbelievable.
