A better Known World
Written in the Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, and the A Song of Ice and Fire Worlds: alternate universe/canon diverging either by a little or a lot and sometimes by introducing new characters.

Summary
He sometimes had the occasional, very vivid dream wherein he traveled to strange worlds and had bizarre adventures. This may well be one of them, if only for the irony. Given the possibility that every lucid dream is actually long-range astral projection or parallel incarnation, he had no qualms about treating this world as real. Of course, he could also be wrong. Wouldn't that be something? If nothing else, though, his new family won't take quite the same amount of work to salvage as his previous one.

Summary
It didn’t take long for her to realise her father was weaker in more than just his health and she would gain nothing from ruling like he did.
Which is why it frustrates her when he barely questions the stupid decisions the queen consort makes, as if she is queen herself, like Rhaenyra will be. She cries sometimes when she realises she would rather death came for her father sooner. Still, she doesn’t think that what he has now can be considered living.
Whispers and glares don’t bother her, but now that it comes in the form of insults towards her children, she can’t help but react. She is a dragon after all. And now a mother.
or, Viserys is reminded that he is the King, and he needs to protect his heir and future queen a bit better. This focus on Rhaenyra's journey into improving her game of politics, as she goes to remind people that slander and treason are crimes, that Arryn and Baratheon genes can be in play, and perceived hereditary traits matters not when genetics is not yet a field of study. With the help of her husband, Rhaenyra is set to gain new allies, both outside the Keep, but also, within her own family.

Summary
She never wanted to be here, trapped in a world that can never seem to follow through on its threats of death. She wished it would.
By divine injustice, she finds herself at the Wall in the midst of the Night's Watch. Her disguise as a boy keeps her safe - for now. Both the living and the dead, however, grasp for her power, eager to cup fire in the palms of their hands. It is power that could set the world on a course it was never meant to take.
And she can't say anything about it. Literally.
This fic is based off the television show far more than the books.
