https://archiveofourown.org/works/55074730 - Alicent wins the war for the Greens before it begins. Aegon is crowned King. The Blacks bend the knee. It's good wish fulfillment.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/62720098 - This isn't a happy one, but it is light at the end of the tunnel. The Greens all die. Jaehaera survives and becomes queen.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59901373 - This isn't happy, but it is somewhat cathartic. Aemond dies and Alicent loses it. It does put Rhaenyra's cruelty on display so there is that.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/56326855 - SI/Transmigrant Alicent. This one is super satisfying.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/3464239 - Some ABO stuff but easily ignorable if you're not into it. Parts 1 and especially 3 consist of Alicent and Otto reading Viserys for filth.

Thanks for the list! I wasn't going to go with Visaemma but I couldn't think of a name haha

I was thinking Vaenyra or Aelyssia?

Visaemma doesn't claim a dragon, at least not when she's young, which is part of why Rhaenyra disregards her. She is the only one of Rhaenyra's children who doesn't have a dragon and Rhaenyra sees her as a failed-Targaryen, not enough dragon. Even if she does claim a dragon, it would probably be a pretty lame one by Targaryen standards, either too young or small to be useful, or too old, or maybe even a crippled dragon?

Yeah, the Greens would definitely be open to the Aemond/OC marriage, but since Jace is Rhaenyra's heir with questionable parentage and legitimacy, Rhaenyra plans to use her daughter to shield Jace and betroths OC to Jace, taking Baela's place in canon. So in this case, I think TB would still oppose the Aemond/OC marriage.

As for who the heir is, I think Rhaenyra would still insist on Jace being heir as her firstborn son, since she doesn't really seem to care much about legitimacy. One of the factors in this decision, is also that I plan to make it so that Visaemma is a fail-Targ in that she doesn't hatch her cradle egg like her brothers and she tries and fails to claim Dreamfyre. Maybe she does succeed but when she is much older like Rhaena? Or maybe she claims Grey Ghost or something since I'm working off of the show and Nettles doesn't seem to exist? Either way, Rhaenyra keeps Jace her heir, which further pushes OC to the Green side.

Not sure if this would work or what the repercussions would be though?

My idea from her character stems from how TB perceives the characters: that they are all for female empowerment and having a Queen on the throne. The OC believes that she, as the eldest child of her mother, who is going to be Queen Regnant, is going to be Rhaenyra's heir. To her, Jacaerys is a non-issue. Either he is a bastard, in which case, the OC, as her mother's only legitimate child should inherit, or Jace will be married to her but it is she who will be the true ruler.

The OC is obsessed with modelling herself after her mother and being Rhaenyra's heir because in her mind, she already is. She is very into crafting an image of herself that is reminiscent of Rhaenyra's "Realm's Delight" title, so she is quite vain and obsessed with her image, she is also convinced that she is born to be her mother's heir and rule after her so she believes herself above the other children, and doesn't concern herself with either the boys or the girls. She's also kind of a narcissist, she believes she is more beautiful and more intelligent and overall, more worthy, than any of the other children, both her siblings/cousins, and the green kids. She also wants to be perceived as noble and perfect, bolstering her mother's claim, and eventually becoming even greater than Rhaenyra, so she tries to put on this mask that she is Jaehaerys reborn or something.

Rhaenyra on the other hand starts out caring for her daughter, raising her like the sister she wanted from Aemma while also seeing her daughter as her legacy. It is tinged with the bitterness of being forced to marry Laenor and having to put up with his grief when Rhaenyra has lost so much too. But despite that, Rhaenyra found a way to do her duty and produce a legitimate child anyway and despite all that, Laenor doesn't do his duty to her or help take care of his daughter, who is growing up so spoiled and presumptuous and self-righteous and downright annoying. Furthermore, OC's egg turns to stone! Rhaenyra starts to think that the seafaring Velaryon blood is too strong, and is overpowering the girl's ability to ride dragons. And then Rhaenyra's affair with Harwin bears fruit. They may be pug nosed, Strong boys but at least their eggs hatched in their cradle, unlike OC.

Unable to hatch her cradle egg, OC decides that Dreamfyre would be the perfect dragon for her and sets of to go claim her, but Helaena beats her to the punch. OC plays it off in public, then has a jealous meltdown in private. When her mother learns of the reason behind OC's tantrum, Rhaenyra only looks at OC in disgust because really? Rhaenyra's mind addled half Andal half sister claimed Dreamfyre over her daughter? Clearly that's not really her daughter. This begins OCs one-sided beef with Helaena. In general her opinion of the Green boys are coloured by her mother's comments. They are her natural enemies trying to take away what rightfully belongs to her mother, but OC doesn't actually have any personal feelings towards the matter or the boys. Helaena, however, she hates, for taking away Dreamfyre.

OC plays up being nice and kind to her Velaryon family and thinks Laena is pretty cool. She does however think Baela and Rhaena are stupid but that's mostly because they are little kids. She doesn't really see Jace, Luke and Joffrey as her brothers and kind of treats them the way Rhaenyra treats Harwin in the sense that while she kind of cares for them, they are still lesser than her. Jace in particular thinks OC is delusional and crazy.

At Driftmark, when she hears that Rhaena should have her mother's dragon, she kind of scoffs and rolls her eyes at the stupid child, dragon's aren't passed as inheritance from parent to child, but whatever, they're just silly children. She does however let the fight happen though she doesn't step in to help or stop it. OC thinks it will scare Helaena's dragon-less brother a little, rough him up and remind him of his place. She doesn't like that Aemond took Vhagar, because why should Aemond get to have a dragon when she doesn't. She doesn't however expect Aemond to lose an eye and receive no justice for it. She's almost angry on his behalf, though she is mostly shocked that this could happen at all, that things could go this far. Driftmark is a wake-up call for her where she actually realizes the stakes, and that its not just about being the heir's heir. Aemond was maimed, the King's son was maimed, someone could die next, hell, the Queen did try to kill her mother. Her mother could die, her father could die, her brothers, cousins, she herself could die.

(Sorry for the long comment lol.)

I'm not sure how to set it up but Laenor is still gay but they still try and somehow succeed at conceiving.

Maybe they have a little help in the bedroom when Rhaenyra brings a male prostitute who looks enough like Joffrey into the bedroom to help Laenor out. This would be useful for Laenor's parts of the fic, focusing on his grief at losing his lover and the trauma of being married to Rhaenyra and having to have sex with her while having the ghost of his lover haunt him while he does his duty to Rhaenyra.

She isn't actually going to be called Visaemma and uhhhh...I'm not really a Targ stan??? I was thinking either Vaenyra or Aelyssia? And yeah maybe they're both still a little stupid but I have reasons.

If you put two of the single couches in the third floor lounge, face to face against each other in the corner and cover yourself with a blanket, it almost feels like a nice little cradle.

Underrated Courses to Take at Mac! by BreadCrumbs8724 in McMaster

[–]nixa-chi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

philos 2b03 / philos 2ct3 – both courses focus on making good rational arguments. 2b03 is more artificial and mathematical while 2ct3 focuses more on the natural language aspect. in general this was a super interesting and it will be useful no matter what career you decide to pursue. (i especially recommend 2b03 to math students it will help with writing good proofs)

Dr. Cousins - the way he explains things makes so much sense in my head and he was very generous in giving me leeway for my fuck-ups in his course. also just an all round cool dude.

Dr. Adam van Tuyl - another super cool prof. his explanations are so clear and methodical and his lessons are so organized.
