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.

The Dragon's Deception✔️
||Complete|| In the world of House of the Dragon, where dragons breathe fire and the blood of the Targaryens runs deep with power and prophecy, Alyssa Targaryen finds herself in a unique and perilous position. The second daughter of King Viserys I Targaryen and his first wife Aemma, Alyssa was born with a destiny unlike that of her siblings. For she is no ordinary princess. She knows the future. Or rather, she remembers it. A self-insert from the modern world, Alyssa finds herself inexplicably thrust into the world of Westeros, equipped with knowledge of the Dance of the Dragons, the deadly civil war that will tear her family apart. She knows the tragic end of Rhaenyra, the betrayal of her family, and the ultimate downfall of the Targaryen dynasty if things play out as they were meant to. However, she is determined to rewrite the story. She refuses to let history follow the course laid out for her, and she will do whatever it takes to ensure that her younger brother, Aegon II Targaryen, ascends to the throne instead of Rhaenyra. And that she will be his Queen.Complete
The God of Death by Warlock7567
Balerion, the valyrian god of death, decides he will not allow the house of the dragon to end in such a distasteful manner after the death of Daenerys Stormborn and the exile of Jon Snow. He returns to where the downfall began in 105 AC, one week before Queen Aemma dies in childbirth, to change time itself. It is not a difficult task for a god. If he fails, he can just do it again.

The Gods We Can Touch |Aemond Targaryen x Niece!Reader|
The older twin of Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, you were a picture of the maiden, untouched and untainted by man's sins. At least, that was what Alicent Hightower believed when she held you in her arms moments after her old friend's labors. You were her shining light, her dream. Though you were never hers, she believed you were meant to be. What will become of you as time passes and the Queen's shining light grows within the blackened darkness? Will her eldest son's morbid fascination with the light burn the realm? Or will her second son's obsession with the only daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen change the course of the Seven Kingdoms as we know it? "I have outlasted all desire, My dreams and I have grown apart; My grief alone is left entire, The gleamings of an empty heart. The storms of ruthless dispensation Have struck my flowery garland numb, I live in lonely desolation And wonder when my end will come." ☆☆☆☆ All House of the Dragon/A Song of Ice and Fire warnings apply, but I will put specific ones with each chapter. However, there will be depictions of childhood sexual assault and the trauma response/coping mechanisms that can stem from it. You've been warned. The reader does have a name and the typical Targaryen/Strong features, but other than that, the descriptions are vague.
A Knight's Vow ✔️
||Complete|| Princess Allaena Targaryen, youngest daughter of King Viserys and Queen Aemma, was never meant to shape the realm. Cherished and bold, she lived free of duty-until love bound her to Ser Criston Cole, her sworn protector and secret heart. When she's wed to a Dornish prince for politics, it's Criston who stays at her side, raising children that bear his blood, though the realm must never know. Now King Viserys is dead. The Dance of the Dragons begins. Rhaenyra calls for her loyalty. Her family demands her choice. But Allaena's true allegiance lies with Criston-and the legacy they've built in the shadows. As war ignites, Allaena must decide: protect her family... or fight for the future only fire can claim.Complete

God's Game | House Of The Dragon
M-A-M-A. G-I-R-L. Mamas Girl. Alicent Hightower loved all her children. She did, and no one could deny that. But she has and always will love her youngest daughter Aemma Targaryen just that little bit more. Aemma didn't look or act like any of her Targaryen siblings or her father. She looked exactly like her mother. With her reddish brown hair and green eyes, the only notion of her Valyrian heritage being the specks of violet in her eyes. Along with the fact that her twin brother was Aemond Targaryen, a man who looked to have the truest of true Valyrian blood running through his veins. The only downside was that Alicent couldn't speak her name. Of course the one thing that Viserys took from Alicent was choosing HER daughters name. And of all names the one of his deceased wife Aemma Arryn. Follow the story of Aemma Targaryen as she plays God's Game.
