Let me present to you a hypothetical "What If...?" scenario, plus a few additional details here and there, and a few questions and you tell me how you think things would play out.
The Setting: The Great Tourey at Harrenhal.
Brandon, Eddard, Lyanna, and Benjen Stark are introduced to Howland Reed, Lyanna is betrothed to Robert Baratheon, Jaime Lannister is made a member of the Kingsguard of Aerys II Targeryen, nicknamed The Mad King, Eddard Stark and Ashara Dayne seem to have a connection, Brandon Stark is betrothed to Catelyn Tully, and Rhaegar Targeryen, the Crown Prince, is cleaning up at the Tourney. However, instead of Lyanna Stark, What If...Rhaegar crowned Elia Martell, his wife and the mother of his children, his queen of love and beauty?
This would obviously mean no Robert's Rebellion and Rhaegar would still be devoted to Elia. Eddard and Ashara could likely fall in love and get married. Same with Robert and Lyanna. However, more than this, what does this mean for Rhaegar? Does he gather with his allies in secret to discuss deposing his clearly mad father? Which of the Great Houses would Rhaegar likely have at his back? Would he be able to get his mother, brother Viserys and unborn sister Daenerys on his side to keep them safe from Aerys? Who would be Rhaegar's Hand and Small Council? Feel free to add any other details that could be relevant to this scenario!
UPDATE: I might make more posts that follow along with this scenario.
