    Summary

    Presenting as the first omega since the Good Queen Alysanne, Lucerys Velaryon experiences the onset of his first heat during the chase at Storm’s End, where Aemond’s primitive alpha instincts cause a fatal loss of control over Vhagar. After dying beneath the waves of Shipbreaker Bay, he is reincarnated into a modern world where he battles systemic misogyny and becomes a workaholic nurse. Then, following a (likely caffeine-induced) heart attack, he is reborn once more with the full memories of both his past lives. Determined to see his mother sat on the Iron Throne and his family safe, he plans.

    “If you know the enemy, and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”
