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. These are both ongoing and completed but are at least read and recommended by me! Feel free to join and recommend some yourselves!

Summary
“The commonly called Tragedy of Summerhall emerged as a pivotal juncture within House Targaryen, a catalyst for change that many did not see at the time. This tragedy seemingly precipitated a transformation in the young prince, engendering a newfound closeness with his sister-wife henceforth. Trauma acted as the catalyst, it would seem, prompting the prince to eschew conventional pursuits such as martial prowess or conviviality in favor of scholarly pursuits. Foregoing the company of swords and women, he sought solace amidst the pages of tomes, with Princess Rhaella emerging as his most trusted companion going forward. Their union, devoid of fervent ardor, evolved into a symbiotic partnership poised to irrevocably reshape the trajectory of House Targaryen.” - Jaenya Rollingford, The Couple that Changed Westeros
Severus Snape awakes one day in the body of a young Prince Aerys and Westeros is never the same.

Summary
The Targaryens have been closer to gods than men, none would deny this. With the naming of a female heir, it appears as though the House of the Dragon is divided amongst itself.
All that was required to thwart the Dance as we know it was a daughter born of Old Valyria, of salt and blood, fire and darkness.
Laenor just wished the Targaryens weren't as dysfunctional as they were. The blood of the dragon runs thick, Daemon had told him once, apparently it makes them thick.
In which the Gods of Valyria (and me) say no to the Dance and as a result we are served with Targaryen realness and dysfunction.

Summary
The knight's supposed to save the princess from the dragon but here, the princess is a dragon, the knight is a bookish lord, and the greatest threat is either the old lady in the blue wimple or the honorable warden with the Ice sword. Because no one thought a second Stark girl would be kidnapped for marriage or that the sensible Willas Tyrell would be the one to kidnap her.

Summary
‘But solemn was the right word to describe her betrothed, as Sansa stood across from him and his father. She was tall for her age, still growing too in fact. But he was tall as well, just reaching over her height.
Dirty blonde, slightly curling hair, and bright green eyes, Sansa found that the artist depicted him well, and all she needed was colour to add to his features.’
Ned Stark and Howland Reed forge a betrothal between their children, and the future changes.
(Note: this focuses mainly on the relationship and not on the politics and stuff. Mainly because I never planned for it to get all in depth and full of political intrigue or whatever. So just know that going in, all that happens in the background)
