Summary
“I named him Garret. My first babe.” Alerie confesses softly, squeezing the girl's hand “I don't know if it would be a boy, but I felt in my heart it would. That was the name I called him in my heart, the name I will never get to call him in life.”
“Daella.” Aemma replies just as softly, followed by silent tears
“A beautiful name.” Alerie says, smiling kindly
“My mother's name.” And then Aemma buries her face into the pillow, her next words almost swallowed by sobs “I couldn't meet either of them.”
Alerie cannot resist it anymore, she pulls the young girl towards her until Aemma is basically on her lap, whispering sweet comforts in her silver hair as the girl clings to her and cries her little heart out.
She is just a girl, Alerie thinks as her heart breaks, just a motherless girl, how can she be someone's wife? How can she already be a childless mother?
Or: Alerie Florent’s life, love and death and the burden of womanhood in Westeros.

Summary
The second War for the Dawn is lost before it has even begun. With a little help from the Old Gods, Bran sends the last surviving Starks somewhere they can make a difference: back in time. Alone in an unfamiliar place, scattered and separated from each other, they must save the dragons and their house from death and madness. The survival of all humanity depends upon it.
Alternatively: Jon discovers just how messy that side of the family can get, Arya is forced to concede that some problems can't be solved by sticking them with the pointy end, and Sansa finally gets to play the game of thrones. This time around, it is a woman they will call Kingmaker.
(Or: What if all Alicent Hightower needed was a friend like Sansa Stark?)
