Summary
Godhood can be given, earned, and inherited. It can be seized and stolen. It cannot, however, be watered down through a bloodline. You either have it, or you don’t.
OR
The ember wouldn’t ever work for Mal like it did her father. The only reason it responded to her call at all was the fae magic running through her veins from her mother. It’s power wouldn’t resonate with her soul unless she was a full child of Hades. After revealing her betrayal and having her friends turn their backs on her, Mal knows she’ll need to make another decision, this time without a chance to change her mind. Uma won’t help her and there’s no one left to ask, so Mal has to change her very nature to save Auradon, but, more importantly, to save her friends—her family.
OR
Mal never meant for this to happen, but she’d let go of everything to see it fixed.
~This is essentially becoming a series of oneshots that may or may not be expanded upon, but all explore a darker side of Mal’s magic and the Isle~

Summary
"Thread of green, thread of black, twined together in an ancient pact," Helaena recited as she compared passages and words. "Blood of blood, kin of kin, fire only burns for those against the sin."
A lump formed in her throat with every sentence she read. It was exactly as she'd feared.

Summary
All Aegon has ever known is his mother's fear and rage, his father's cold indifference, and his grandfather's blind ambition. Unable to handle eternally falling short of their exceptions, or to face the threat of war on the horizon, he buries himself in his vices in order to cope, and waits for the world to be set aflame by the King's passing.
Until Helaena gives him some advice that changes the course of his life, and the future: try and revive his old bond with his nephew, Jacaerys. If Aegon can convince him that he is no threat, then maybe Rhaenyra and the rest of the realm will believe it too.
And if that means sneaking out to Dragonstone on Sunfyre? Learning more of his eldest sister and her family then he has ever before known? Realizing how kind and brave, smart and maybe even beautiful Jace is? And if those things together, shift the course of the Dance of Dragons, and House Targaryen forever?
Well, who could have foreseen that?
Or:
Aegon accidentally joins the Blacks, falls in love, and fights a war, not necessarily in that order.

Summary
The three brothers Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus Peverell crossed a bridge at great cost to themselves and their family.
What the story didn't mention was that it wasn't a normal bridge, but a bridge from one world to another.
They traveled over the River of Space, Time, and reality itself. Now, with all three Hollows and his godson murdered, Harry's life is threatened once again. But this time Death is sick and tired of watching the last descendent of his favorite family suffer over and over again. This time Balerion and his wife Meleys will make Harry a deal.
Trade this life for another. One where he can even have Teddy back in his arms. The catch? He has to become she, Birth Teddy as her own, and stop death's OTHER favorite family from killing one another and all their dragons.
As the life of Harry Potter ends, the life of Haelemys the healer begins.
(Team Green and Team Black are both flawed. Aegon, Otto, and Larys are horrible. Endgame: Team Targaryen.)

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.
Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.
