    Summary

    His gauntlet comes to Dunk's face, brushes clumsily over him. "My man," he breathes, barely a whisper, and there's blood on the metal, and it smears over his lips as he weeps, "Your man."

    Something sparks in his - his head, his guts - wrenching -

    ---
    (It's divine intervention.)

    Summary

    History remembered its villains more faithfully than its victims, and Rhaenyra Targaryen became both. She was meant to die in dragonfire and her name was reduced to ash and warning. Instead, she awakened in a future that called her nothing more than the Pretender. At the Ashford Tourney, she moved unseen among the descendants of her house and watched the lives built upon the ruins she left behind.

    There, she met Baelor Breakspear, a prince shaped by duty and bound to the history that destroyed her. He knew the stories written about her but not the truth of the woman before him. Least of all when she struck his nephew and almost fractured his father’s fragile peace.

    When violence shattered the fragile peace, their paths intertwined and neither could step away. How could a prince rule a peaceful realm while being haunted by a queen he could not claim to know? And when duty demanded distance, why did he hesitate?

    Summary

    Rhaenyra Targaryen dies in the kingswood when the boar comes for her.

    At least, that is what history records.

    She wakes up nearly a century later with no dragon, no crown, no coin, and, most offensively, no decent clothes.

    Her only hope is Ser Duncan the Tall, a hedge knight with a dangerous habit of doing the right thing, occasionally outwitted by doors, and not always burdened by immediate understanding.

    Unfortunately, Ashford also has Prince Aerion Targaryen: beautiful, vain, arrogant, and exactly Rhaenyra’s type in the worst possible way.

    History thought it was done with her.

    Rhaenyra disagrees.

    Summary

    A plane crash was a statistical anomaly, surviving one even more so. The odds were microscopic, laughable in their improbability. And yet Dr. Anicia Morrone had survived, defying mathematics and mortality alike, only to wake in a world infinitely crueler than the one she had left behind.

    This was not Alice in Wonderland, oh no, this was Anicia in the depths of Hades’ own imagining... though even that comparison felt generous. Hades, at least, had rules. Westeros had ambition.

    She had intended to live quietly, to endure and adapt, to carve out a small and careful existence in a world that was not her own. But fate, it seemed, had little interest in her caution. Other plans were already in motion, threads that would entangle not only her own precarious survival, but the future of the realm itself.

    And, most dangerously of all, a certain prince — heir to the Iron Throne…. none other than Prince Baelor Breakspear.

    Summary

    From the time of the Andals arrival in Westeros, and the beginning of knighthood in the kingdoms, it is a well-kept tradition for knights to not only swear their oath to the seven, but to preserve a record of the great feats of their own master and his predecessors by way of adding in lines. As such, the lineage of knight to squire is preserved through the memorization and passing of these vows, and while the words are kept secret from all but their own cohort, knights who share the same oathkeeping lineage...

    ... There are only a handful of famed chivalric lineages that are confirmed to still exist today, most notable amongst them is the oath taken by the Dragonknight Ser Aemon Targaryen, currently preserved by his three known squires, King Daeron Targaryen the Second, his son Prince Baelor Targaryen, and Ser Robyn Rhysling. As with most lineages, it is likely there are other knights within the cohort , but those names have since been lost to time.
