Fics like What the Sea Could Not Take

What if Jacaerys Velaryon lived? What if the Battle of the Gullet ended not with the Blacks’ greatest loss, but with their most decisive victory? What if Jace survived to fight for his mother’s throne, secure her reign, and grow from a prince shadowed by questions of blood into the greatest son the realm had ever known? What if the Queen Who Never Was bore one final, unexpected daughter—a dragonrider with the blood, fire, and will to become queen beside a king history had already buried? What if Rhaella Velaryon was not merely Jace’s childhood companion, but the woman he defied expectation, duty, and dynasty to marry? What if Rhaenyra’s elder line did not perish in the Gullet? What if Jace and Rhaella lived long enough to produce heirs of their own, allowing their branch of House Targaryen not merely to survive, but to flourish? What wars might have ended differently? What dragons might have lived? What kingdom might have risen from the ashes if the prince meant to drown returned from the sea—and remained alive long enough to become king?
