Summary
Right as Rhaenyra was about to give up and flee her tour two months early without a suitor, she met Rickon Stark, the young future Lord of Winterfell. Perhaps she was putting too much stock in a prophecy that could've been decades, even centuries, away from being fulfilled. Still...
From my blood come the prince that was promised, and his will be the song of ice and fire.
Ice and fire.
On the surface, Rickon could've perhaps been called boring if she was being ungenerous. But where she was fire, he was ice; it was clear beneath those cold eyes laid a very sharp edge. It shouldn't have been intriguing, but it was.

Summary
Rhaenyra and Laenor both knew the backlash that would undoubtedly occur should they not have a trueborn heir of their own, likely courtesy of the Hightowers. So they get...creative. Harwin very much enjoys laughing at both of them.
(A cup and funnel, a turkey baster, they'd tried it all. Things finally worked out when Harwin offered to help them. Jacaerys is born with silver-blond hair and the same lilac eyes as his mother.
Alicent...still has feelings about Rhaenyra's sons that most certainly do not stem from jealousy, thank you very much.)

Summary
Princess Rhaenys and her dragon Meleys bring something to Dragonstone besides the news that Viserys I is dead. She brings what could be the single most valuable hostage the Blacks could hope to gain: Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower.
Now, Rhaenyra has a bargaining chip that could help her keep the succession crisis restricted to a war of ravens, and she has a marriage scheme she believes will resolve everyone's problems for good. Alicent isn't so sure Rhaenyra's ideas will work any better for her now than they have in the past. Between frustration with her old (former?) friend's political decisions and a desperate hope that she might keep all her children alive, Alicent finds herself working with the Blacks to build up Rhaenyra's base of power.
