A future fic carcass I'll write when I write (after I finish 9 ungoing fics)

King Viserys dies at the wedding celebration of his daughter, Crown Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.

No one else does.

I am a firm believer Otto and Viserys are the rot on the face of the House of the Dragon and without these two everything would be fine-ish.

Unfortunately, we need Vissy T for his kids to be born, so Viserys dies soon after Aemond is conceived. Sorry, Daeron, not this time.

Joffrey doesn't die because he doesn't manage to provoke Criston before the king dies.

Rhaenyra overrules his father's decision and marries Harwin Strong.

Their son Jacaerys Targaryen is the heir to the throne, Lucerys Targaryen is the heir to Harrenhal.

Daemon marries Laena and lives at Dragonstone (Rhaenyra grants him that), their firstborn is the heir of Driftmark.

Laenor joins the Queensguard and is sent to Dragonstone to protect Prince Daemon (ha) and his future heirs.

Criston Cole becomes the Commander of City Watch while still retaining his white cloak (what? He did it in canon, can do it here).

Rhaenyra removes Tyland Lannister as the master of ships and appoints Corlys Velaryon (back).

When Baela and Rhaena are born, it is decided to betroth Prince Aegon and Lady Baela, making him future lord-consort of Driftmark (and successfully removing him out of succession of the iron throne).

When Jace is born, his and Helaena's betrothal is announced.

Baelon is born without an issue and the royal family meets at the celebration on Dragonstone, where Aemond claims Cannibal and loses an eye in the process.

(Kinslayer, everyone. It fits).

Afterwards Luke is sent as a ward to Harrenhal with his father. A huge ass scene ensures there Luke clings to Aemond and refuses to go.

Aegon makes a greasy comment and gets punched.

Both Aegon and Baela are sent as wards to Driftmark.

Lucerys still leaves.

Harrenhal doesn't burn bc even if Larys kills Harwin and Luke, there's still Lyonel and Joffrey in the equation. Lyonel keeps serving Queen Rhaenyra as her Hand.

Years later the royal family meets at the wedding celebration of Baela and Aegon, where Luke and Aemond behave very much like Rhaenyra and Daemon at Rhaenyra's not happened wedding.

Rhaenyra and Alicent clutch at their pearls, Rhaenyra suggests father died because of seeing something like that.

Daemon asks if she implies they killed Viserys, then asks where is Baelon.

Laena replies Baelon is playing knights with Joffrey.

Rhaenyra and Harwin Strong (no) have three more children, Aegon, Viserys and Visenya, all silver-haired like their mother (her uncle).

Laena is fine with it, they have a poly. Laena doesn't have more children because Baelon's birth was a ghasty one.

Baelon claims the Grey Ghost.

Otto is never called back to the capital because (suprise!) Rhaenyra didn't rush to kill her 3 y.o brother or the other one who was born after Viserys' death. Instead she marries Aegon off so he's no threat.

Aemond eventually joins the Queensguard and is appointed to the future lord of Harenhall.

Lucerys refuses to marry and appoints his brother Viserys as his heir, who marries Visenya. They have a very good life in Harrenhal.

The reason Luke skips over Joffrey is because Joffrey is always at the sea (with Baelon), and Aegon the Younger is bethrothed to Baela and Aegon the Elder' firstborn, Laena.

Everyone lives happily ever after, Otto gets to be the head of the house Hightower after he successfully plots against his own kin, since his blood is secured on the throne, if in unconventional for him way.

He once tried to manipulate Aegon, but was cut off sharply by Rhaenys and Corlys, who kind of adopted the boy as theirs.

Aegon enjoys wandering about Essos very much, he, of course, whores around, but he and Baela have an agreement. One of Baela's children is born from Alyn of Hull, but no one is any wiser, since everyone just thinks the child looks like her.

Jacaerys and Helaena have three kids, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera and then Maelor.

Jaehaera is oldest and so is the heir.

Oh, and Rhaena is happily married to Corwyn Cobray. They have a daughter, Rhaenys.

Say baby Baelon lives but Aemma dies, Viserys still marries Alicent and has the Targtower kids, but Rhaenyra never becomes heir. I think it would be logical for Otto to focus on a Baelon/Helaena match but my question does he still politically try to ruin Rhaenyra when she goes on her little brothel escapades and how much more/less tension are between Cole/Alicent and Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra is running around getting away with scandal in their opinion but Viserys isn't going to pull a Jaehaerys over it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Okay so I think Viserys probably doesn't give a shit about Rhaenyra's brothel escapades. like even more than he already doesn't care because she's not even heir so he doesn't need to keep up appearances with her as much, plus we know he's still going to have hangups over losing Aemma and getting fixated on Rhaenyra, even if Baelon is the heir. I imagine he's also just a little bitter that Rhaenyra is really too old to marry Baelon and is still just not here for people saying shit to or about Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra, for her part, I think still has some problems here; with Laena too old to marry Baelon and Viserys married to Alicent, Corlys is gonna be pissed so I think Viserys just has to betroth Rhaenyra to Laenor, and promise they will marry back into the main line soon. I do imagine Rhaenyra being a dragon rider makes Corlys feel marginally better and given that she's probably on Driftmark rather than at court, either those children are Laenor's somehow (because Rhaenys is there watching) or Rhaenyra fucked someone on Driftmark which might mean it's less obvious that they're not Laenor's.

There's a lot of factors there - I think once Rhaenyra does her lil brothel escapade that Otto is pushing for her to be married off to ~tame her~ in which case I think there's a chance, depending on how close Rhaenyra and Baelon are, that there's some animosity there between Baelon and the Targtowers; and if Rhaenyra winds up having a girl, I think it's not unlikely that Corlys would push for a marriage match between Rhaenyra/Laenor's child and Baelon, which Baelon might be more amenable too if he prefers his older sister to his younger. At the same time, I imagine Rhaenyra's temper might be reeled in a bit more in this scenario because a) i'm sure she is chafing against the constraints put on her gender but she's not chafing against the constraints put on her as crown princess and b) she has Rhaenys watching over her and isn't just running a bit free on Dragonstone. IF she has a girl, I do think it's in fact likely that tensions start to rise again, in which case, Otto and Alicent are definitely bringing up her brothel shenanigans and pushing that she's a whore and the girl isn't even his. If she's close to Baelon, especially when he gets near old enough to oversee Dragonstone on his own, she might influence him against Helaena; if Daemon and Laena still marry, perhaps she suggests Baela or Rhaena as a bride instead, and again, Corlys and Rhaenys are obviously going to push that.

Anyways, ya, I think it's safe to assume that regardless of Baelon and Rhaenyra's relationship, Rhaenyra is getting shipped off to marry Laenor as "punishment" and it's going to piss her off, and she's going to start working against the Targtowers anyway out of spite. If her baby brother is wiling to listen to her, things get messy.
