[Canon Divergent Fix-It Fic Trilogy with a HEA. Multi-POV. Show/Canon merging.]

As the kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, Alicent Hightower swaps the pieces on the board: Aegon will marry Abrogail Strong, Larys' younger sister and heir to Harrenhal. Caught in the web of intrigue and political machinations, the pair must figure out where their loyalties lie, and what they mean to one another.

They weren't even giving her to him, not to love like he wanted. No, they were taking his Maiden and turning her into a pawn just like him, placing her on the board beside him to move them both as his mother and grandfather pleased.

It felt like something sacrificial; dark and maybe sacred in whatever deals had been made, whatever machinations brewed behind the curtains that he could not see.

A warrior, a student. A girl without a dragon. Second son of Alicent and Viserys, Aemond. A warrior, a student. A boy without a dragon. They hate each other. Pitted against tone another since the year they were born. Who's stronger, faster, smarter? But sometimes bitter hatred has a habit of turning into blossoming love. Sometimes isn't always.

"You have no idea of the effect you have on me. While he was dancing and flirting with you, I was standing aside, watching from the shadows, contemplating ways of cutting his tongue and hands." The past repeats itself. Two best friends with a bond no one is able to break. A niece and an uncle who feel attracted to each other. An arranged marriage is made. Two people, who are too caught in their tangled dance to be able to let go of each other. Will Visenya be able to fulfill her duties and enforce her mother's claim to the crown? Will Baelon be able to keep the distance between him and Visenya after his mother begged him to do so? Two Targaryens. Two dragons. Two souls bound together by Fire & Blood.

Alicent Reverses the Hourglass by reddishwork by Writers_of_AO3

Inspired by the 'time travel revenge' manwha trope, this story begins several years after the Dance. The former queen, Alicent, sits in confinement and full of regret, waiting for death. That is until she's given a chance to go back in time to the year she married King Viserys and do it all over. With every intention of changing her fate, she might well be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as she is impeded at every turn by a familiar face who has received their own second chance. All credit goes to reddishwork. This is their original story on AO3.
