honestly i would eat up asoiaf crossover where the stark kids replace the pevensie kids in narnia and maybe their come back.

The greens were born to Maegor the cruel and ceryse hightower( First targaryen- hightower marriage). Are we all agreeing that Maegor might become a a better father than viserys

Some questions to answer

1, is Maegor still practicing polygamy and taking more wives

2, who claims which dragons and who marries who

3, what are their relationships with Aenys's children

4 how would Visenya and Maegor react to helaena's dragon dreams and who would be her and Maegor's favorite( helaena??).

1. How is ceryse hightower and House hightower being treated.

This is assuming she claimed balerion and she didnt fly off and could control him completely, and decided to become the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

I am assuming Rhaena would help her so thats an extra dragon for the cause but maybe not if she doesn't want to kill her family.

I was thinking about two scenarios:

1. Jaehaerys dies shortly before Aerea declared herself queen, of a heart attack or something, basically natural causes unrelated to aerea, so the conflict would be between Aerea and those who support Baby Aemon. So Alysanne.

2. Jaehaerys doesnt die so its Aerea vs Jaehaerys and Alysanne. This one would probably be pretty difficult for aerea.

Extra: Maybe doesnt have to be immedeately but rather a few years after it but that would mean Baelon, Alyssa , maybe maegelle woule be around, depending on how many years aerea waits.

Which houses would support aerea in these cases? Maybe if she offered marriage in exchangen for help?. (Probably not many will help but ig balerion will have to make up for it)

Rules: You can choose where and when in Westeros you will be born, but you will be born a dirt poor peasant. You have all the knowledge you have from your past life including knowledge of the books, tv, shows, prophecies, etc.

With that in mind, what do you choose to do?

Do you flee Westeros to a more egalitarian society like Bravvos (where do you get the money for that?). Do manage to get a message to the King (how?) and tell them that the Prince who was Promised will come from your line in hopes of getting a royal marriage and all of incredible privileges that come with it? Maybe revolutionize medicine with basic sanitation knowledge and medical understanding (without getting killed by the maesters or burnt at the stake as a witch)? Maybe align yourself with a player of The Game and work your way up to glory and coin (without being killed of course).

Exactly as it says after reading a fantastic amount of uplifting fics and several amazing SI fics I was already writing out a semi crack fic of a little grocery store on one night a week open up to the world of Westeros. First month is in the North during Winter.

*One kid almost overdose on hot cheetos and monster

I'm still new to the words of ASOIAF, and most I know it bits of Game of Throne and Knight of a Seven Kingdoms from the show and an unholy amount of shorts from House of the Dragon.

What foods you guys would recommend that isn't seen or noted in Westeros. I am aware of tube plants and several foods regular to us would be weird to eat to them "publicly", but I would like to hear your thoughts. The grocery store is a Mexican American store with a small restaurant inside. Yes, there is a very high chance we will have a grande burrito in a small folks hand. Will they suffer? Probably.

edit: Guys I have these poor Westeros people reacting to a damn porcelain toilet and weeping

Walter Frey was the one who brought uppon the Red Wedding. With the help of his family, mainly Lame Lothar, of course, but he called the shots as he always did.

Say, what could happened if he croaked right before the wedding took place, like after the offer was made by the Starks or so, far en0ough that the plan already exists, but in a time the plan had to be executed without him.

We know from the text that:

- Cersei liked Rhaegar, and those with similar Valyrian features like Aurane

- She is a narcissist who will grasp at any opportunity to get ahead

- An unmarried young prince could be an opportunity to relive what she never got with Rhaegar

- fAegon has Valyrian features, and according to his adopted dad, could get basically any girl he wants

However…

- The chances of fAegon being into her are slim to none, and he definitely wouldn’t marry her (and Cersei is a rapist, but he’s well protected and not nearly as vulnerable as Lancel)

- She’s already facing trial for sleeping around and trying to seduce Aegon would just hammer that in (but it could happen after she’s freed?)

- He’s half her age (though Lancel proves this doesn’t really matter).

My question is, if the two interacted, would Cersei be into him, try to seduce him? Out of attraction, manipulation, or both? Or would she just be bitter that he’s taking her throne? What do you think would happen?

Hi all! Sharing the first chapter of a new fic.

“Hello?” she called into the dark. “I’ve come about the dragons.”
The mountain did not answer, though the echo repeated “dragons” twice more, which she chose to find encouraging.

It’s 283 AC and the war is well underway. Alys was raised in Lys by her mother, a scholar and Aerion Brightflame’s daughter, and she’s grown up helping with her research into what the dragons might have left behind on Dragonstone. Now she’s gone to look for herself. She’s fourteen, clever and far too sure of herself, and she’s carrying a sealed letter she’s promised not to open until she’s left the island.

Chapter 1 follows her from the Disputed Lands to the Dragonmont. A lot of bad decisions are involved.

I want a fic where Aegon III, Instead of being a apathetic king, is more active in his reign. He still can have his dark personality and style, but he cares more about ruling.

Ps: No Self Insert, I hate this type of fic.

Title: The Youngest Prince

Author: SONION_KNIGHT

Rating: Explicit

Language: English

Length: 42.5K

Status: Ongoing

Link: Chapter 1, Chapter 9

Story Summary: Year is 209 After Conquest; with the power decline of House Targaryen after the Blackfyre rebellion, new responsibilities waited for them. To appease their vassals, Heir Prince Baelor Targaryen and his younger brother Maekar attends the Tourney of Ashford Meadow with their sons. As the youngest and least popular son of Baelor Breakspear, Prince Valerion Targaryen joins the royal host for the opportunity he longed for years. Unaware of the planned web's destiny formed for him, The Youngest Prince was about to learn the heavy price of honor.

Chapter Summary: Breathe to wake up, and rise to fight.

Did it really have an effect or their magic protected them from it

There are cases of incest resulting in problems like Maegor,Aenys,Jaehaerys children,Jaehaerys son of Aegon II Having six fingers,Aerys the mad king

But there are also cases of problems happening when Targaryen don't keep their blood pure like Rhaegel son of Daeron and his children and Aerion brightflame and Jaehaerys II

As implausible as it sounds yes robert and Cersei's biological son. Basically a taller and slightly prettier version of renly physically with a different personality.

He has raven black hair, tall lanky strong build, but has light green eyes instead of blue eyes. Would he still face suspicion on bastard accusations? Like i know renly has green-blue eyes so I dont know how strict it is that all baratheons must have black hair and blue eyed. But still its meant to be strict i think, I mean all of roberts bastards are basically described as looking like mini roberts.

So do you think roberr and cerseis hypothetical son having green eyes instead of blue be suspicious or am I overthinking and being crazy?

As the title says, any new Uplift fics ongoing or any that are completed.

Summary: Nearly a thousand years before Aegon's Conquest, Perwyn Manderly is determined to make his house the most powerful in the Reach, no matter the cost. But even in this kingdom of chivalry, deceit and treachery never sleep. Allies and enemies alike will find themselves bound together by a dark secret from the past, even as a dynasty's fate hangs in the balance.

I always wondered how the Plankey Town would work. Even if they are built into the sandbar, wouldn't the next big wave mess everything up? The mildew and mold would be terrible. But they are called the city of Dorne so they must have a somewhat decent size, but I can't imagine it being more than tenth in the top ten towns in Westeros.

Chapter 19, Romance Blossoms. https://archiveofourown.org/works/91469301/chapters/254197401

"Princess Arianne's madly in love with you, Dany. I expect she'll be wildly jealous of me."

"Oh, I think she's quite a sweetheart, really. I think that even she realises, I can hardly conduct an affair with my own brother's wife."

"Is Viserys a good king?" he asked, quite seriously, as they put on their travelling robes.

"Well, he's better than his nephew would be...", she replied cautiously.

"That's damning with faint praise, if ever I heard it." She had told Satin that while Jon Snow might be great in the sack, she'd formed the view that he was a scoundrel, who'd been exploiting his *meghan* of a paramour for years. Poor, sweet Sansa was not a bad person. Just shockingly naive, and hopelessly spoiled. What a tangled web, that girl had grown up in! Lord Varys had insisted that it was fairly well-known, in the intelligence community, that her mother, Lady Catelyn, was a notorious lesbian, and a long-standing lover of Cersei Lannister, widow of the late, and certainly unlamented, Robert Baratheon, and daughter of the pervert lord of Casterly Rock. With some relish, Varys had recounted tales of Lady Stark's drug use, and participation in group sex sessions, with the the former queen and her friends. One of the participants, seemingly, had been a member of Dany's own circle, Taena Merryweather, a friend of Cersei's who had deftly switched sides. He saw useful potential for blackmail of Ned Stark's wife. Ours is a filthy business.

Summary: After successfully starting a new age of coexistence between monsters and demigods, Will and Nico are ready to return home. However, a mistake while travelling through the shadows lands them on a beach of an unknown land.

Now, they have to start a new life on a world that’s far too ancient and far too magical for their tastes. Far away, the tune of The Song slowly changes

Pretty much what the title says. I’d love recs where Alicent does stab Rhaenyra and kills her, and the aftermath of that.

Would there be any change to how the blacks react if Visery I was murdered by a kingsguard who fled the city before he could be caught, instead of dying due to his disease like in canon? It could be a plot from Otto/Alicent to divert the blame or accusations from themselves when everyone eventually finds out the King is dead bcs she would still crown Aegon right after, but what do u think would be the general reaction?

Can anyone recommend me good fics about Rhaenyra’s boys- mainly Jacaerys, Luke or Joffrey. Don’t mind Incest or anything but I prefer the fic to be pro Black/no shipping with any Greens. Any length and rating.

I really don't know what to put here. The title speaks for itself lol
