    Summary

    Accompaniment fic for Alicent Reverses the Hourglass filling in the 17 years that take place after the end of Part 2 (chapter 65) and before the beginning of Part 3.

    Despite her latest falling-out with Princess Rhaenyra, Alicent’s marriage to Daemon Targaryen is stronger than ever when she (pregnantly) returns to her duties as Lady of Dragonstone. Though she has the Crownlands to gentle-parent, smallfolk to tend to and vassals to appease, Alicent finds that her toddler son, Aegon’s, affinity to Vermithor, the Bronze Fury, is what troubles her most, along with her husband’s lack of interest in the tedium of politics and paperwork.

    Though the looming threat of an uncertain future hangs over them, Alicent and Daemon chaotically stumble through parenthood, diplomacy, marriage issues (some couples therapy with Maester Prall) and occasionally make it out on top with only minimal casualties in their wake.

    Summary

    They say that, in the moments before death, you can see your life flash before your eyes. As he plummeted toward his end, Daemon Targaryen didn't see a fucking thing. But many thoughts raced through his mind.

    He had always told himself he had no regrets. But that wasn’t true.

    He regretted surrendering his crown to his ungrateful niece. He regretted marrying her. He regretted letting her place Harwin Strong’s children above his own—if Aegon and Viserys were even his at all.

    His eyes searched the sky for the great green beast, but it had already vanished beneath the waters of the God's Eye, taking its rider with it. Bitterness and fury gripped the Rogue Prince. Everything he had done—everything he had sacrificed—had been for the honor and glory of House Targaryen. And for what? So a drunkard or a spoiled child could sit the Iron Throne? His House had been reduced to a shadow of what it once was, and history would remember him as nothing more than a consort—the lapdog of a whore queen.

    He closed his eyes, awaiting death’s cold embrace, and in that final instant, he wished—if only for a moment—that he could do it all over again.

    Summary

    ***ON HIATUS***

    Alicent Hightower died in 133 AC and woke up from a bad dream. Only that it was not a bad dream, but rather her past life.

    Determined, Alicent wishes to avoid the Dance of Dragons and the heartbreak her father, Otto Hightower, inflicted upon her life and that of her children. But the timelines have changed. Viserys is not named heir. Aemma is sicker than before. The Old King and the Good Queen are alive.

    How can Alicent stop the Dance of Dragons now? Will war come or peace will follow?

    So... what if Alicent was half Targaryen? What if Ceryse Hightower would have had a daughter with Maegor, but kept the child a secret? What would happen if Daemon would marry a lady with Valyrian blood? How would Westeros change if Daemon was named heir at the Great Council?

    Surprisingly, the Alicent Hightower she was born into, is no mere Hightower, but the great-great-granddaughter of Ceryse Hightower, with the blood of Maegor the Curel running through her veins.

    All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story is different from the original, although most characters are the ones from canon.
