Fics like THE THORNED CROWN

She never wanted the Iron Throne. She wanted something better, and she built it anyway. Elowen Tyrell survived the fire that killed her family at nine years old, and grew up learning the one lesson every lord in Westeros keeps missing: crowns are won in sickrooms and quiet letters long before they're won in battle. While Rhaenyra Targaryen mistakes entitlement for destiny and drags the realm toward a war no one asked for, Elowen spends her twenties doing something neither Green nor Black sees coming: building a third kingdom out of the reasonable, the neutral, and the disillusioned, one favor, one alliance, one impossible choice at a time. She has a brother who isn't her brother, a king who loves her and loses her anyway, a prince whose devotion turns dangerous, and two men, uncle and nephew, who choose her together and don't much care what the court whispers about it. This is the Dance of the Dragons fought without a single dragon of her own, and won anyway.
