Summary
Right. We’re back!
After several months of behaving, briefly, like a respectable public historian — a phrase which still feels illegal in my mouth — I am returning to the subject that started this entire nonsense project: the medieval Consortium of Genoa, also known as the world’s oldest glass closet, also known as that time a warrior-king and a merchant prince accidentally built a Mediterranean superpower while everyone pretended they were just very committed to maritime reform.
For the next eight weeks, we are talking about King Nicolò II of Genoa and Prince Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, because apparently I enjoy pain, footnotes, and watching historians perform interpretive gymnastics around the word “husband.”

Modern Historians talk about Pseudo-History of Nicky being Nicolo II, King of Genoa, and Joe being Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, a Merchant (Pirate) Prince who enters a political arrangement that they refuse to call "marriage." and become "History's worst Closet!"Bookmarked by littletinybookworm

Summary
Vissera Targaryen is the only surviving child of King Viserys and Queen Aemma. The entire weight of the dragon's bloodline rests on Vissera's twelve-year-old shoulders. While her father chases prophetic dreams of a son and the court plots her displacement, Vissera binds herself to Dreamfyre—the oldest, deadliest dragon in the pit. Surrounded by vipers, her only true anchor is her chaotic uncle, Prince Daemon. As the realm marches toward a bloody civil war, Vissera isn't planning to defend her birthright. She’s planning to take it.

Summary
Following the devastating death of Queen Aemma, a grieving King Viserys I Targaryen seeks solace in the gentle company of Alicent Hightower. Their private moments of comfort are violently exposed, igniting a firestorm of scandal that threatens to consume the realm. In a compromise born of guilt and frailty, Viserys names Alicent his official mistress — never Queen — condemning any children they share to the status of acknowledged bastards, forever excluded from the line of succession.

Summary
Daemon will ensure that Rhaenyra becomes Queen no matter the consequences. He owes it to his niece. The Fourteen Flames have given him a chance to change their fate, and Daemon will make the best use of it, starting by changing the way he interacts with his family. They need to be united, or they will fail.
Or.
Daemon goes back in time/receives a vision from the Gods, and starts a campaign to crown Rhaenyra as Queen. Half by design, and half by mistake, the Rogue Prince creates a harem for himself, but he one hundred percent insists it's actually his wife's harem. Rhaenyra learns to share. Laena is happy to be in the center of the chaos. Harwin is living his best life. And Laenor curses the day he became Daemon's squire, as he is now neck deep in politics, and he hates it.
Viserys pouts.
Alicent cries at the injustice of it all.

"Intense eye contact," she says.
"Intense eye contact," Matt agrees.
Dan sighs.
Neil and Andrew find themselves in the past, just in time for Neil's first year at Palmetto. They're making plans for their second time around now, how much to change and how much to not change. Except...
Neither of them bothers to tell the rest of the team anything.
