The Blood of Maegor

Summary:

Alicent Hightower died in 133 AC and woke up from a bad dream. Only that it was not a bad dream, but rather her past life.

Determined, Alicent wishes to avoid the Dance of Dragons and the heartbreak her father, Otto Hightower, inflicted upon her life and that of her children. But the timelines have changed. Viserys is not named heir. Aemma is sicker than before. The Old King and the Good Queen are alive.

How can Alicent stop the Dance of Dragons now? Will war come or peace will follow?

So... what if Alicent was half Targaryen? What if Ceryse Hightower would have had a daughter with Maegor, but kept the child a secret? What would happen if Daemon would marry a lady with Valyrian blood? How would Westeros change if Daemon was named heir at the Great Council?

Surprisingly, the Alicent Hightower she was born into, is no mere Hightower, but the great-great-granddaughter of Ceryse Hightower, with the blood of Maegor the Curel running through her veins.

All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story is different from the original, although most characters are the ones from canon.
