**Gods to Men**
They say that when a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin.
Rhaella Targaryen caught it.
Born as the first child of Princess Rhaenyra and Laenor Velaryon, Rhaella grows up believing one truth above all others: dragonlords were never meant to live like ordinary men. While her family tears itself apart over crowns, succession, and pride, she studies the histories of Old Valyria, sits in the Small Council before she is old enough to wear a sword, and bonds with Vhalaris the Quiet-an ancient dragon forgotten by history itself.
As the Dance of the Dragons begins, every loss reshapes her. A father. Brothers. Grandparents. Dragons. Kingdoms. Piece by piece, the realm convinces Rhaella that the greatest weakness of House Targaryen was never its enemies-it was that its own blood forgot what it was.
The Greens call Rhaenyra a pretender.
The Blacks call her their queen.
Rhaella calls them all fools.
For while kings and queens wage war over a throne forged from swords, she sees something far more precious dying: the last legacy of Old Valyria.
This is not the story of a heroine.
It is the story of a princess who watches gods become men-and decides she never will.

Songs of the Banished
"A Targaryen alone in the world, is a terrible thing." Valaena Targaryen was born with one purpose, to do the impossible and dispel the vile rumors that her brothers are bastards, allowing them to take the title of Heir after their mother Rhaenyra Targaryen, and father Laenor Velaryon. Only when her egg fails to hatch in the cradle, her Targaryen features aren't enough to save her from her mother's quiet disdain and the treasonous rumors circling court. So when Lucerys's actions and Aemond's betrayal lead to an unforeseen punishment demanded by Queen Alicent, Val is forced to bear the brunt of it due to their mother, Heir to the Iron Throne, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen's favoritism. Banished from Westeros, Val embarks on a decade-long journey where she has nothing but time to plot her return to the Seven Kingdoms. This will also be available on Ao3.

Others are fought inside a child's mind.
