    Summary

    She had tried, every day of her travel west- and it had been a long journey, two months on the Roseroad- to be grateful, to be happy, to find that girlish glee she had once felt at the idea of wedding Willas. She didn’t know him, but he was sure to be as handsome as his brothers, even if he was very old, four-and-twenty. He was sure to be as gentle and kind and clever as Margaery and Lady Alerie and all the others had promised her. So why didn’t she feel relieved? Why didn’t she feel satisfied?

    Because everyone I love is dead, she thought. Because I was ruined by my husband, even if he never truly touched me, and before him, Joffrey. The Lannisters had tainted her. When Willas saw the scars on her back from the Kingsguard’s beatings, when he realized she’d been in bed with a man before, even a man who hadn’t taken her maidenhead- he would be disgusted.

    Summary

    “It would be ideal if I didn’t have to… participate, too much. I don’t want to feel like I'm acting. Or putting on a show. But you could call me whenever you wanted, and you could just…” Mel gestured vaguely to her lap, pleased with herself. “You could just use me.”

    Dr. Langdon put his forehead on the steering wheel. “Oh my god,” he muttered. “I am going straight to hell.”

    Summary

    It could not be said for certain that Visenya Targaryen was a dreamer.

    She did not see the future barreling towards her family faster than their dragons came diving from the skies; she did not see the past—all the things that once were, all the lives that lit up and burnt out just as quickly. She did not see the present, either, all the happenings across the sea and through the realms, all the truths that had not yet spread to all the little birds in King’s Landing.

    No, Visenya only ever dreamed of a could have been world. A might have been life. A life she already lost the chance to live, a peace that would not reign, blood that would not stay burning in the veins of dragons.

    She dreamt of what could never be.

    She tore her heart in half wanting for it.

    (In some lives: Baelon dies, Visenya lives, and dragons dance.)
    ***
    Or, Visenya's coin fell the first time she looked to Aemond and saw only Baelon's face
