So, I am here again! I'm currently planning and outlining the plotline of the rewritten version since it would be different from the original one. ( Also I'm not going to unpublished this one. I just don't want to hahaha )
I've said that I'm choosing if it's going to follow Robert's Rebellion and Rhaegar winning against him or it was the prince raising against his own father. I decided that Rhaegar is the one plotting to dethrone King Aerys because of his mental state and he is not fit to rule the Seven Kingdoms because of it.
Prince Rhaegar travelled the whole country, attending tourneys and events for that very reason. It is where he'll meet Lyanna Stark who would be 16 or 17 ( I'll aged her up. ) Rickard Stark is a lord who wants a southern political power, the best one to have that is the Prince ( despite being married. And everyone thought that Elia is fragile and weak. Since the birth of Rhaenyra and Aegon almost took her life. )
The ones who supported Rhaegar is Queen Rhaella because Aerys is abusived towards her and he is clearly a danger to the realm. He must be stop before more blood stain the Targaryen crown.
Lord Tywin Lannister will also back him up because he hates Aerys. He already resigned as his Hand and secretly aiding Rhaegar. Of course, there would be a price for it.
Queen Rhaella suffered many miscarriages, stillbirths or her children didn't live long. I'm thinking on making Princess Shaena Targaryen live, she'll be the second surviving child of Rhaella and Aerys. ( She's younger than Rhaegar and older than Viserys. Maybe 15 when the uprising happens. ) With the existence of this character, she is a Princess who can make alliances for Rhaegar ( Since this two are close, and Rhaegar is married to Elia Martell. )
I'm still deciding if Shaena will be kind and soft princess or one of those who has an attitude, like someone who can stand up for herself and her family. Has the fire of a Targaryen.
Possible Prospects for Shaena
• Jaime Lannister ( Tywin would like this, and mostly the best one for him because even Cersei can't be Queen his heir would be married. )
• Willas Tyrell ( House Tyrell was always loyal to the crown, and they might not support Rhaegar but with the right marriage maybe? )
• Robert Baratheon ( This one, Robert will not be in love (?) With Lyanna Stark, He'll want to get rid of Aerys because they lowkey blame him for the death of Lord Steffon. And they are cousins as well. )
• Jon Connington ( He'll be Hand of the King once Rhaegar ascend the throne. )
Queen Rhaella will live since Daenerys won't be conceived. ( But she's still going to be a new character, we won't say goodbye to her. ) So, I got two plans for the Dowager Queen / Queen Mother.
One is she will remarry to her first love, Ser Bonifer Hasty and assuring House Hasty's allegiance ( they are just a minor house but every support counts. ) Or she will remarry Tywin Lannister.
He would be the stepfather of the King. Rhaella might be still fertile can give him one more child. ( A payment when Aerys preyed upon Lady Joanna. ) If this one pursue, I don't think Rhaegar will make him Hand and then, Jaime and Shaena won't be married. ( But why do I want this one? Especially if I choose for Rhaella to be cunning as him. I like Megan Follows to be her face claims if we're going with this, pulled a Catherine De Medici hahaha )
And then about Cersei, in the first one she is married to Viserys ( Because I aged him up. But now, he is back as youngest sibling of Rhaegar and only three years older than Rhaenyra. ) I'm not sure what to do with her. She can still wed Robert Baratheon or Prince Oberyn Martell? ( I keep on rewatching their scene together. ) They might have kids as well. ( Cersei and Jaime won't have that kind of relationship. )
Jaime Lannister? If he marry Shaena then he won't be annointed as a member of the Kingsguard and will not be Rhaenyra's sworn protector. ( That pose might be taken by Ser Lewyn Martell since Ser Barristan would be Lord Commander and then Ser Arthur Dayne is already sworn to Rhaegar and might be his Master of Wars. )
I'm still having doubts on what their relationship would be is it a happy one or just a marriage for convinence. At first, I thought it will be unrequited love or no love at all because Jaime would be in love with someone else ( Not Cersei. ) and it hurt the Princess which made her just accept it or transform her love to somebody else ( but in secret, Tywin will not like that if his son and his wife is disgracing the Lannister name. ) But the two will be forced to have children as well.
The rival of Rhaenyra will be the female Jon Snow who is very different from him ( attitude, personality, morals and etc. ) A hated version, she'll be fighting Nyra for the throne. Their mothers will be fighting as well. Elia will be sharp spear in this fiction to protect her children and Lyanna is a she-wolf who likes to bark and bite.
Brandon Stark ( The supposed Heir to Winterfell. ) will be alive too. He would have a big part on the waring families of Rhaegar. ( Obviously, he would back up Lyanna and her children. ) this means he'll marry Catelyn Tully.
Then what would happen to Ned Stark? Marry Lady Ashara Dayne? Marry a Northern Lady? Marry a minor lord's daughter? I'm not yet sure about him. Or Marry an Oc who is Jon Arryn's daughter? ( then Lysa Tully might marry littlefinger? I don't know anymore! Send help! )
What about Tyrion Lannister? What should we do with him? Hahaha He would still be a close friend to Rhaenyra and to her siblings ( Elia's children. ) if Shaena and Jaime end up together, he also might find a mother figure on Queen Rhaella if Tywin marries her. ( I think Rhaella can be cunning but she won't be cruel to torment Tyrion. )
Sansa will still be here but as Brandon and Catelyn's daughter. ( Actually all the Starks children will pass as theirs because of the same features but Robb won't be named Robb. )
The plan for Viserys is he would be betrothed to Princess Arianne Martell to appease the ruling prince of Dorne. Obviously, they did not like Rhaegar's decision on taking a second wife, he might not intended to do it but he still humilated them.
So, this is what I thought so far and it made my brain bleed. I just can't stop whenever I start thinking about this plotlines and I won't be able to rest until I finished it.
What do you guys think? I am open for any suggestions or ideas or the things you want to see because I would want for you to enjoy reading the stories I write.
P.S. This is not edited so bear with me if there are any errors. Thank you so much!
