  Summary

  “Congratulations, stepdaughter. What a blessing this is for you,” Alicent said, a cordial smile on her face but her voice devoid of emotion. The tonelessness Rhaenyra had become accustomed to, but the coldness was new. In her surprise, Rhaenyra forgot to smile back.

  After the wedding, Rhaenyra finds Alicent in the godswoods (post-1x05 oneshot).

  Otto and Viserys have one last conversation (post 1x04-oneshot).

  Summary

  “It must have been tiring,” his mother said breezily, “the destruction of a small child. Such a feat.” Her words were bitter, but her voice shook.
  The truth would have been unspeakable. Vhagar had never been so far beyond his control. He could still recall how his hands shook, how he had shivered at the sight of the blood. He hadn’t wished to kill the boy. Merely to scare him off. Remind him what his family was owed. That he held the power now. And what a power it was.

  Aemond never meant for Lucerys to die, but there is no turning back now (post-1x10 oneshot).

  He had told them that he was unfit, and still they’d planted his arse on the throne, and now he was reaping the consequences of their follies. It had all boiled down to one simple thing: he had never been good enough for the throne.
