Blood of Fire and Water by TeddyRacks23
3 parts Ongoing Mature
Aegon Targaryen, firstborn son of Prince Rhaegar and Princess Elia Martell, is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and grandson of the Mad King, Aerys II. Older brother to Rhaenys and Orys, and nephew to Viserys and Daenerys, Aegon is one of the last surviving scions of House Targaryen. Gifted with powers that drew the attention of his grandfather, Aegon stood apart from his siblings from childhood. Tragedy followed quickly after his birth. His grandmother, Queen Rhaella, perished in childbirth with Daenerys when Aegon was only two years old. Three years later, his mother, Elia, died giving birth to Orys when Aegon was six, and only four months later, Robert's Rebellion began and swept away what remained of his family's reign-Rhaegar slain at the Trident, King Aerys struck down in the Red Keep, and the Targaryen dynasty shattered. Orphaned and hunted, Aegon, his siblings, aunt, and uncle were forced into exile. They were sheltered and raised in Essos under Prince Lewyn Martell, Ser Willem Darry, and their kin of the cadet Brightflame line, descendants of Prince Daeron "the Drunken," and Prince Aerion "Aerion Brightflame" Targaryen, in Braavos. In the house with the red door, Aegon grew into leadership, often clashing with his volatile uncle Viserys while finding love and strength in his bond with Daenerys. At sixteen, he wed her, fulfilling an ancient Targaryen custom, and the two welcomed a son, Jaehaerys, in 293 AC. For thirteen years, Aegon lived in exile, the reluctant head of his fractured house, trying to hold together a family burdened with both prophecy and pride. Yet destiny does not allow dragons to sleep forever. When a Pentoshi magister named Illyrio Mopatis offers them sanctuary, the course of history begins to shift once more. The dragon prince who should have been king now faces the world that took his birthright. But will fire and blood restore the throne-or consume him first?

The Dragon's Peace - Book One: The Dragon Ascendant by ChroniclesofVampy
33 parts Complete Mature
In a world where one choice altered the fate of Westeros, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen makes the ultimate sacrifice to save the Seven Kingdoms. When the Mad King Aerys II moves to burn his own family and city, Rhaegar slays his father to stop the madness, sparing King's Landing from wildfire and averting Robert Baratheon's rebellion before it can engulf the realm. In the aftermath of this kinslaying coup, the new King Rhaegar I ushers in a fragile "Dragon's Peace" - a realm not scourged by civil war, yet simmering with uneasy alliances and unhealed wounds. All the Targaryens survive intact - Rhaegar's wife Elia and their children, as well as Viserys and newborn Daenerys - but peace comes at a price: the young king must prove his legitimacy, atone for his father's sins, and unite rival great lords who begrudge the crown he saved. The Dragon's Peace: Book One chronicles an alternate saga of Westeros had the Dragon Prince claimed the Iron Throne in time to save it. Now King Rhaegar Targaryen seeks to forge alliances through marriage and diplomacy, not fire and blood. In the cold North, House Stark withdraws its banners after Rhaegar's act of mercy, yet old grudges remain - Lyanna Stark's honor and Robert Baratheon's heart have been broken for the sake of the realm's peace. In the South, Lord Tywin Lannister returns to King's Landing to serve as Hand once more, even as his pride quietly rebels against a king who once slighted him. Seven Kingdoms that nearly splintered are bound anew under Rhaegar's rule, but each Great House follows a new, uncharted trajectory that teems with intrigue. The Martells of Dorne bask in the favor of their beloved Elia as queen, the Baratheons smolder with unmet vengeance, and the direwolves of Stark gnash their teeth over debts of honor unpaid. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognize beloved characters on new paths - and new characters with daunting challenges - in a gripping tale of what might have been, had the Dragon Prince lived to rule.

In the golden years of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen's reign, the realm is at peace - dragons rule the skies, and prosperity blooms in every field of Westeros. From the Reach comes Lady Willa Tyrell, daughter of Florence and Martyn Tyrell, newly brought to court as her family ascends in power. Raised among roses and reason, Willa soon finds herself entangled with those born of fire: the royal children she grows beside - Aemon, noble and measured; Baelon, fierce and restless; and Alyssa, bright as sunlight on steel. What begins as innocent friendship deepens into rivalries and forbidden affections that threaten to shatter the fragile peace of the Red Keep. As whispers spread through the court and brothers draw blades in the yard, Willa learns that even flowers can burn - and that love, in the shadow of dragons, is both a gift and a curse. A tale of love and loss, mothers and sons, and the quiet power of women in a world that forgets their worth - this is the story of the girl who captured a dragon's heart and paid the price for it.
