comment
The Dance Is Not Over is an A Song of Ice and Fire story by Antony444, set during the Dance of the Dragons. King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra both experience different earlier deaths in the Dance of the Dragons, causing two different, more competent monarchs to succeed them and altering the future of the Seven Kingdoms.Official Summary: The Dance of the Dragons was the most devastating conflict Westeros had ever seen, one hundred and seventy years before the War of the Five Kings. In the end, a succession of deaths and betrayals allowed the kingdom to find peace and recover. But what if it had not happened? What if the courage of a young dragoness had pushed this war to be fought to the bitter end?

Instantly Proven Wrong: Terrence Harlaw tries to rally the Ironborn to his cause to war, exclaiming "Only the dragons could have stopped us...and the dragons are dead!" Immediately after he says that, a dragon sets their fleet on fire.

You Can Keep Her!
 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_158bb31a
comment
You Can Keep Her!: A merchant house in Lys tries to ransom back Prince Viserys to both factions, only to find that the Greens don't want him because he's a Black, and the Blacks don't want him because of how introducing a male prince to a faction that only has female royals could undermine the new Queen's authority. In any case, both factions combined didn't have the funds to meet the (absurdly large) demanded ransom.

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy
 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_16ddefda
comment
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Ser Richard, the castellan of Deep Den, decides that he needs several drinks when King Daeron lands his dragon outside the hostile castle at the end of the War of the Lions. Richard then surrenders, but his intoxication makes him slur or mispronounce many words, beg not to be fed to Tessarion, and babble about his Awful Wedded Life before he passes out. Also, his parlay flag is soaked with wine, and he can barely stand. Once Richard wakes up with a hangover and recalls how many noblemen he humiliated himself in front of, he begs to be told that it was All Just a Dream. When Eldric Arryn is exiled from the Vale for cuckolding Lady Arryn's heir and provoking a duel with him, he demands a trial by combat and requires a champion to fight for him after said heir cuts off his sword arm. The only champion he can find is Ser Yorbert, an alcoholic knight of House Lipps. Yorbert arrives at the trial late and drunk and bumps into Eldric as he approaches the battlefield. He mistakes Eldric for the other champion whom he arrived to fight, accuses Eldric of ambushing him before the fight could start, and starts dueling the man he came to defend. Throughout the duel, Yorbert rants about his nonexistent military exploits and staggers around so clumsily that Eldric survives the encounter with just a missing ear. The Pretext for War of the War of the Beard was a pointless drunken brawl in which one of the combatants got part of his beard cut off.

 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_18150c85
comment
Democracy Is Flawed: In an attempt to keep the realm united, Captain General Belicho suggests they put it to a vote. Lord Manderly points out that if each realm is given one vote, the Vale, North and Riverlands will vote for Baela, the Westerlands, Reach, and Stormlands will vote for Daeron, resulting in a tie. There aren't enough lords left in the Crownlands for them to vote, the Iron Islands have declared independence from both rulers, and Dorne is neutral, so no way to break the tie either.

Silly Reason for War
 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_366dfa01
comment
Silly Reason for War: The War of the Beard, whose ultimate cause was some Braavosi nobles deciding they wanted a war and escalated a stupid incident into an international affront by means of an Unreliable Narrator to create a Pretext for War. What they said happened: While in a Black Westerosi port, a villainous Pentosi sliced off an innocent Braavosi merchant's beard, dunked it in urine, and threw it in his face, followed by the barbarian Westerosi arresting the victim of this horrible crime and confiscating his ship and goods. What actually happened: While in a Black Westerosi port, a drunken Braavosi merchant started brawling in the streets with an equally drunken Pentosi merchant for unspecified reasons. Part of the Braavosi merchant's beard was accidentally cut off when the fight escalated to the use of knives. After breaking up the fight, the local city watch sentenced both merchants to a night in the cells to sleep it off and then let them go without any further penalties in the morning.

Combat Pragmatist: King Daeron begins his attack on the Iron Isles by burning their fleet at anchor. Once that's done, he gives the order to burn Harlaw, because that's the granary of the Isles. Destroy their food source, and the Ironborn are done.

Dying Moment of Awesome
 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_6682d6e4
comment
Dying Moment of Awesome: A few. Daemon Targaryen dies the same he did in canon, leaping off his dragon to stab Aemond in the eye before they (and their dragons) crashed into the lake. In the Second Butcher's Ball, Lord Grimm kills countless foot soldiers, at least twenty knights, two Lords, and grievously wounds "King" Walder Reyne before finally falling. He's instantly (and rightly) made the hero of the war.

Justice by Other Legal Means
 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_69d46274
comment
Justice by Other Legal Means: A Morally Bankrupt Banker involved in an unsuccessful (and needlessly bloody) coup against House Lannister is careful to use Exact Words in the letters with his coconspirators that give him Plausible Deniability. Lady Lannister admits that there's no hard evidence of his treason, but there is evidence that he's only paid a tenth of the taxes he owes her due to hiding money that was being funneled to the rebels. Tax evasion is a very serious offense in a feudal fantasy setting.

Balkanize Me
 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_7913833c
comment
Balkanize Me: The coming of a long winter forces the two factions to agree to a ceasefire with the currently held territories (Black holding the North, Riverlands and Vale, Green holding the Westerlands, Crownlands, Reach and Stormlands, and nobody holding the Iron Islands, with Dorne still independent) until spring. When spring finally comes, both sides independently decide that they aren't ready to restart the war, so the Seven Kingdoms are effectively split in half.

Space Cold War
 The Dance Is Not Over (Fanfic) / int_8a943fe3
comment
Space Cold War: Most of the story so far is a Fantasy Cold War, with adult Targaryen dragon-riders as the nukes. The Dance of Dragons ended with the Green and Black Dragons effectively dividing the Seven Kingdoms between them, but everyone is convinced that a Second Dance of Dragons is inevitable. However, given how destructive the first one was, nobody is ready to kick off the second one, leaving the two nations rebuilding and maneuvering for position so they'll be ready for the Second Dance whenever it might happen.

comment
Pyrrhic Victory: The Second Butcher's Ball is this for the Reynes. They successfully take the field of battle, and thus arguably won the fight. But their victory wasn't successful enough for them to push on to take their actual objective, so it was a meaningless victory, and the casualties they suffered among their knights and nobles weakened them to the point where the battle marked the starting point of their ultimate defeat.

Decadent Court: The primary advantage that Black Westeros has over Green Westeros is that Daeron's court much more of one than Baela's, meaning that the Blacks can devote far more of their attention to actually getting things done instead of dealing with the disruptions caused by internal intrigues.
