Summary
As they flew, Rhaenys watched her granddaughter. Her curls had been blown free from their pins, streaming in the wind, and she had raised a hand to idly trace the underside of a cloud. A sudden desperation seized her. If Corlys died, Baela would be one of the last two things binding her to this life.
Rhaenys shook her head, discarding the feeling, and settled in her saddle. There were three things that she had absolute faith in: Meleys, her husband, and that it would be Baela who would inherit the Driftwood Throne, even if it killed Rhaenys to put her there.
Rhaenys pushes for Baela's claim during the Driftmark succession crisis and finds herself sharing common ground with Alicent Hightower and her strange, half-Targaryen children. As war seizes the realm, Rhaenys, Baela, and Rhaena must navigate House Velaryon to safety, fighting alongside the people always believed to be their enemy.

Summary
When Aegon Targaryen returned to King’s Landing he declared for all to hear, “The time of hiding is done. Let the ravens fly that the realm may know the pretender is dead, and their true king is coming home to reclaim his father’s throne.” It seemed then, to the smallfolk, that the war was over, but leal men and women answered Aegon’s challenge with force, Starks and Arryns and Darklyns riding under a queenless banner to unseat the Usurper. Though Black victory was nigh, the succession remained deep in doubt until the day a ghost arose from the waters of the Gullet. “The time of hiding is done,” came his answer, a mockery of Aegon’s words, “And the true king is coming home to reclaim his mother’s throne.”
Thus was the bloody beginning of an otherwise long and peaceable reign. He would wear many epithets throughout his rule; the Black, the Undead, the Dragonless, even the Strong, from those intent on losing their tongues. The king’s favorite moniker, however, was one reserved for those who knew him best: Jace.

How Alys Rivers Nailed That One Spell (Not Really) by Last_Cinderella

Summary
Larys Strong has always dreamed big – so big, in fact, that he’s set his sights on the Iron Throne. But three rather irritating Targaryen men stand in his way. Luckily, his half-sister, Alys Rivers, happens to know the deadliest spell in existence.
The problem? Alys is a dreadful witch, and spells have never been her strong suit (pun absolutely intended). Instead of eliminating Aemond, Aegon and Daemon, her botched magic hurls them straight into the modern world.
Now stuck in a realm that neither bows to dragons nor tolerates their colossal egos, the trio must figure out how to survive long enough to return to Westeros. Their only hope lies with Orianna, a self-proclaimed clairvoyant who is as unimpressed with their arrogance as she is unqualified to deal with them. And even though she’s the last person in this world who knows anything about magic, it looks like she’s the only shot they’ve got . . . if she doesn’t lose her sanity first.

Summary
Once the door thuds shut behind them, Rhaenyra finally turns and faces her fully. Alicent straightens her spine and rolls her shoulders back, though she stops short of preening outright. The full weight of Rhaenyra’s eyes on her, narrowed now to angry slits, makes her heart stutter in her chest.
Alicent clears her throat. She has rehearsed this dozens of times since she donned a hooded cloak and fled her guard under cover of night, mouthing the words to herself as she vomited in the belly of an unmarked merchant ship.
Before she can begin, Rhaenyra says, “Kneel.”
