When Dragons Dream

The Dance of the Dragons. An age scarred by blood, ambition, and political strife. As Westeros tended toward chaos, the Targaryens’ once-unshakeable legacy reached its breaking point. Born to King Viserys I and Queen Alicent, Baelon Targaryen found himself in a life that he could not control. Night after night, he is haunted by recurring Dragon Dreams. Visions of what was, might have been, and may yet come. Burdened by his fear of the future, he, along with his twin sister Helaena, try to find their way out of the chaos. But where can a Targaryen truly escape? Essos? Asshai? The wilderness of Sothoryos? And even if they flee, can they truly ever outrun what had been foreseen in their dreams? This is an AU of the Dance, with several major changes: • The addition of Baelon Targaryen, twin to Helaena. • Dragon Dreams may be shared between two dreamers deeply bonded by blood and spirit. • Visions may include alternate timelines/parallel worlds Baelon is not reincarnated; all knowledge he possesses is gained through experience or through his dreams. The story is loosely inspired by HoTD: Reincarnated as Daemon Targaryen’s Son, though it follows its own path. Also, I need to emphasise that my MC will not become King of the Seven Kingdoms. This is simply the story of a young boy trying to escape what would have been a life marred by death, betrayal and conflict. All he wants is to become stronger, so he can protect himself and his sister.

Unlucky Faces His Luck

In the boundless continent of Eryndor, Heaven does not judge by talent, blood, or effort—only by luck. Every soul is painted with a color of fate: black for the forgotten mortals, white for those clinging to faint hope, crimson and red for the promising few, blazing orange for the chosen ones, and legendary blue for sovereigns who can rewrite nations. Cultivation is the art of harmonizing with this painted destiny—through virtue that grants swift breakthroughs and effortless duels, or through sin that drags every step into torment. To rise is to master luck itself. Bayley Lone begins as nothing: an orphaned boy on a forgotten mountain, his family erased by betrayal and greed, his luck thread thin and fragile white. Yet when ancient secrets awaken within him—secrets of a sealed organ, a ruthless ceremony, and a foundation forged from forbidden herbs—he realizes one chilling truth: Heaven may paint fate, but the painter can be outplayed. Cold, calculating, and patient to the bone, Bayley descends from his isolated peak into the shadowed borderlands of the Trick Region. With nothing but a long-unpaid life-debt and an iron will, he infiltrates sects, navigates root clans, and carves a path through a world where allies become stepping stones, trust is a luxury, and every victory is paid in blood. In this dark xianxia of ambition and cunning, there are no righteous heroes and no merciful heavens—only survivors who learn to turn fragile white luck into something far deadlier. Will Bayley become another forgotten thread in Heaven’s tapestry… or will he tear the entire canvas apart? Cultivation World of Luck Synergy Ruthless progression. Calculated betrayal. Unyielding ambition. A gripping tale of a man who refuses to let fate decide his end.
