AU: Robert had been born a girl
Valyrian gods did not offer Aerys a living daughter, so the firstborn of Steffon Baratheon was undoubtedly considered as Prince Rhaegar's prospective bride. Roslyn was brought to Red Keep to be Queen Rhaella's ward, growing up with her cousin.
She thrived in the court and befriended with the dour, melancholic prince. Fearless, exuberant, and gregarious...she was everything he wasn't. So it surprised no one when he finally fell in love with her. Unfortunately, he was not the only one.
Or: A different bride should have solved all the problems, but chaos ensued in another way because of the king's madness.

Quen felt peculiar up on the dais, flanked by stags and lions and wolves.
The Usurper had once been a formidable man, with blazing eyes and a massive war hammer. Now, he was just a red-faced fat man, a pathetic drunk who ate as gracefully as a half-starved hog.
His Queen seemed to be a perpetually unhappy woman. Cersei Lannister was as beautiful as the singers said, though the woman had all the warmth of a dead fish.
She might have done well in the north, Quen thought, almost pitying.
(Or: The gods in their blind malice give Theon the feeble body of a woman.)

Melisandre, her father’s priestess, had once tried to teach her that she should be afraid of the darkness. That it was something that ought to be fought and kept away at all costs. It was the Great Other, she’d whisper, but never quite explained what this Great Other then was. Therefore, all those hushed conversations and veiled threats did very little to impress Shireen.
The Red Priestess, however, had not failed to instill fear into her. Not of the dark, or of this nameless, voiceless God, but of a simple wooden pole placed on a small stage.

It is the Summer of 172 AC in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. King Aegon IV sits the Iron Throne as tensions begin to rise between him and his heir, Daeron Targaryen, and the wounds of the Dornish war are still fresh. In the midst of these tensions, Lady Myranda Mallery, newly a woman grown, prepares to be forced to attend a tourney at King’s Landing with her younger sister Gwenys and younger brother Olyvar, lord of her house. While Myranda’s stepmother hopes this will be a chance for Myranda and Gwenys to meet their potential husbands, only Gwenys is pleased about the idea. Myranda and her siblings soon find themselves embroiled in the maelstrom that is romance, politics, and desire at the royal court. Please enjoy this attempt to meld the plot style of Jane Austen into the world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.

"You saunter beside me, talking of the beauty of the morning, not even knowing that there has been a flood." - Margaret Atwood, "After the Flood, We."
Mother pauses, having reached the end of all her curls, and then splays her palm flat on Argella’s head, as if to impart some wisdom or blessing. “He left Jenny Mudd at Summerhall,” she says quietly, because there are little mice and spiders and birds all around the Red Keep, and they all wind their merry little way back to Aegon and his upstart Hand. Argella’s impending good father has never been anything but kind, gracious, and conciliatory to her and her family. But they do not forget, and neither does he. Her father was one raven away from declaring rebellion against the Iron Throne when Aegon finally managed to bring his boy to heel.
(Duncan weds Lyonel Baratheon's daughter, but refuses to set aside his beloved Jenny. Argella Baratheon dreams of rain, and waits for the flood.)
