This is so fascinating. You really created an amazing twist on each character/pairing, it's awesome!

Oh gosh, this was FANTASTIC. So, so creative and inventive and wow, just immensely enjoyable to read! I love the idea of Elia sitting on the throne, and the way you describe the passing of the time is gorgeous. You write Margaery so well too, and I think it was a great choice to see it all through her eyes, her knowledge of history and the other great families, her excitement to see everyone coming together. The seven marriages is such a great idea, and the pairings so interesting! (Can I second the other comment about Cersei+Viserys? OH GOD, I AM INTRIGUED.)

And of course the best best part of it all, ugh, everything Margaery/Sansa/Dany, YEEEEEES, these fabulous ladies, three heads of the dragon and loving each other most and holding each other's children ugh ugh ugh EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PERFECT, LIKE, HEARTS IN MY EYES *________*

They are the family of dragons; all that was promised.

This is completely amazing. There are no words for how much I love it. I adore this alternate life for Elia, and love her as queen; still physically frail but stronger by far than anybody gives her credit for. And Princess Rhaenys, who could be queen if her Dornish mother pushed for it, but has no desire for it, I can't help hoping that she and Willas Tyrell will be happy together. The way you wrote Margaery was perfect, and I loved her views on all the other houses, and especially enjoyed the way you got Jeyne and Asha in there. And it goes without saying that the seven marriages were perfect. Cersei & Viserys, what I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall of that marriage...

And Sansa, Dany and Margaery as the three heads of the dragon? No. Words. None.

I loved this. And that last line sooo perfect!

I totally love this! It's really imaginative and also really believable, and the relationship between the three queens is lovely. And the way you conveyed the strength in Elia was beautiful, too.
