What if Aegon Targaryen (Jon Snow) was never a bastard, but the trueborn son of Rhaegar Targaryen? Raised in exile with his cousins Viserys and Daenerys, he lives in the shadow of a stolen crown-until news arrives: the usurper Robert Baratheon is dead. With the throne suddenly vulnerable, Aegon (Jon) decides to move. He will reclaim what is rightfully his, restore his House, and answer the claim of blood.
This is more than an alternate "Game of Thrones" AU. It is a story of a love grown since childhood, of betrayal and ambition, of honor and tragedy - of a family bound by fire and blood. Will Aegon take back his birthright, or will war and treachery burn everything he loves?

What if Jon Snow
What if Jon Snow was not the hidden son of Lyanna Stark, but instead the bastard of Ned Stark and Sara Umber? In this tale, Jon grew up at Winterfell under the constant weight of his illegitimacy. One cruel winter, driven by hunger, he stole food from the castle's stores and was swiftly judged guilty by Lady Catelyn, who showed him no mercy. Ned Stark, torn between duty and fatherhood, could not bring himself to execute the boy, yet he knew he could not let the crime pass unpunished. With no other choice, he decided to send Jon to the Wall, condemning him to the Night's Watch. Thus, Jon's story began not as a secret heir, but as an outcast marked by shame, exile, and the cold fate of the North.

The Dragon's Peace - Book One: The Dragon Ascendant
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.Complete
Blood of Fire and Water
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?

A Shadow of Fire
A Tale of Blood, Betrayal, and the Rise of a Forgotten Heir The whispers of the past are not so easily silenced. Daenys Pyre was born in the shadows-a Targaryen bastard, raised in the back alleys of Pentos, unaware of the blood that burned in her veins. She lived as the daughter of a courtesan, far from the power and glory of the Seven Kingdoms, until a single truth shattered her world: she is the daughter of King Rhaegar Targaryen, the lost heir to a stolen birthright. Hunted by those who would see her erased, Daenys flees across the Narrow Sea, seeking refuge in the land her father once ruled. But Westeros is not the homecoming she imagined. The Iron Throne is not hers to claim. It belongs to her half-brother, Prince Daeron II, the firstborn son, the king who should have been her greatest ally-but now stands as her greatest rival. The court of King's Landing is a nest of vipers, ruled by the cunning and ruthless Queen Mother, Alicent Hightower. And in the shadows, her enemies plot her downfall-Prince Aerion Targaryen, her uncle, a man with a hunger for power, and the lords who would see her blood spilled before she could ever rise. But Daenys is not alone. The Velaryons, the Baratheons, the Tyrells, and the forgotten loyalists of her father's reign begin to whisper her name. And as she steps onto the path of war, a secret buried in her past threatens to reshape the very fate of the realm. A dragon does not beg. A dragon does not kneel. And when fire and blood call her name, Daenys will answer.Complete
Dark Paradise | Aegon II x Saera Targaryen
Princess Saera Targaryen is everything Alicent prayed would never happen. To Prince Aegon, his sister has always been his best friend, his twin flame since childhood. But when adolescence blooms, and King's Landing becomes a playground for the King and Queen's neglected firstborns, scandal, desire, drama, and reckless pleasure become their daily ritual. Meanwhile, the realm whispers. "Saera the Second," as the smallfolk call her, moves through life in the Red Keep caught between her mother's shame and regret, her father's slow decay, the first threads of usurpation beginning to stir, the quiet comfort of Helaena's friendship, the sharp, unspoken tension with Aemond- -and the bond with Aegon that no one dares name, and no God could ever sanctify. And in the shadows, someone watches her closely, proud of everything she's becoming.
These Ashes Between Us | A. Targaryen
Born in the heart of fire and blood, Saera Velaryon, the eldest daughter and heir of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, was a child beloved beyond measure-a princess draped in adoration, raised to believe the Iron Throne was her birthright. The realm called her *Saera the Spoiled*, for she had never known a world where she was not treasured. But war does not spare even the most cherished. When the Dance of the Dragons erupts, the realm fractures between Black and Green. Prince Aemond Targaryen, the one-eyed rider of Vhagar, stands at the forefront of the war, a blade in the name of his mother, Queen Alicent Hightower, and his brother, King Aegon II. A warrior forged in anger, ruthless and unyielding, but was his sword ever truly theirs to start? Aemond harbors a secret-a devotion that undermines the very cause he supposedly fights for. For all his wrath and violence, his heart has been lost to Saera since childhood, bound to her by longing, by fate, by a love neither of them dared to name. When duty and desperation forced them into an marriage before the war broke, their union was meant to be a bridge between Green and Black, a political bond to quell animosity and resentment. But beneath the weight of war and betrayal, behind closed doors and whispered confessions, *love*-unyielding, undeniable-has already taken root. Their love is a treasonous thing, a flame burning between two sides sworn to destroy each other. And in the end, when the blood of kin stains the realm and dragons fall from the sky, Aemond must make a choice-his family or his wife, his crown or his heart. For what is duty when weighed against devotion? And what is a throne when set against love? _ "And then the storm broke, and the dragons danced."

House of the Dragon: Aegon's Infinite Class Tree
When a game developer from modern-day Earth wakes in the body of Prince Aegon Targaryen, the long-forgotten third son of Baelon the Brave, he expects nothing more than a swift, bloody end in the shadows of his more famous brothers, Viserys and Daemon. But fate has other plans. Aegon remembers everything: dragons, fire, politics... and the unfinished class tree system he'd been coding at the time of his death. Somehow, it lives within him now, reborn in his soul. Each decision grants him access to traits and abilities no Targaryen has ever wielded; [Pyromancer], [Demon Knight], and secrets yet to be unlocked. As the Seven Kingdoms groan under the weight of scheming lords, rising dragons, and prophetic whispers of doom, Aegon walks a knife's edge, one foot in prophecy, the other in rebellion against fate itself. With a mind sharpened by two lifetimes and power drawn from beyond the known world, he'll either forge a new destiny for House Targaryen... or burn it all down. *** Rankings: 🥇#1 in hotd [06/4/26] 🥇#1 in asoiaf [30/3/26] 🥇#1 in litrpg [30/3/26] 🥇#1 in gameofthrones [31/3/26] 🥇#1 in asongoficeandfire [31/3/26]

A War of Fate and Prophecy
The younger sister of Daenarys Targaryen, Alyssays (Aly) was born at the end of Roberts rebellion, just hours before she and her siblings had to be smuggled out of Dragonstone for fear of their lives and losing their mother in an early birth that kept the small princess sickly throughout most of their childhood. Her brother resented her for the loss of their mother but was fiercely jealous and possessive of her. Dany was her most fervent protector and the only thing she ever defied her brother about was his treatment of Aly. Her childhood had been spent in hiding and fear across the narrow sea, but like Targaryen seers in the past her dreams were full of visions that always came to pass. The one she had been having as long as she could remember were of a boy. Black curls and dark brown eyes that always seemed sad, she knew he was real because as she had grown so had the images, she had seen of him. She knows he is somehow tied to her destiny, but only the game of thrones will reveal how. Expanded description in the first Chapter. This will be a SLOW BURN!
