Summary
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
Alicent Hightower is a widow looking to get the hell out of the small town she's found herself trapped in since the death of her husband, yearning to see her brother in California. Behold, a stranger rides in on a pale horse—a dangerous outlaw, presumed dead and out for revenge, Rhaenyra Targaryen. Or, like most out west call her, Death herself.
Upon discovering the real identity of the lowlaying outlaw, Alicent makes her a deal. Rhaenyra will escort her to California and Alicent will secure her cover as a man by pretending to be her wife.

Summary
re: where is your boy tonight? i hope he is a gentleman!
Rhaenyra Targaryen is on track to burn out after college—sure, she studies business to appease her father, but all she wants to do is fuck around and play the drums and make it to graduation. Enter Alicent Hightower, the prissy younger sister of her bandmate, Gwayne, who shares a class with her. She's far too mean, reminds Rhaenyra of every girl that would have bullied her in high school, has a douchey boyfriend, and listens to terrible pop music and nothing else. Couldn't be more opposite of Rhaenyra if she tried. However, when the two of them exchange notes and homework for their shared class, both of them discover that maybe they were wrong about each other. This, of course, is terrible news for everyone involved.

The entire Targaryen family gathers for the reading of Viserys’s will, with the exception of Rhaenyra, the rebellious daughter who fled to America amid scandal with a wealthy entrepreneur.

Summary
For the briefest moment, Alicent had felt warm. Alive in her own body. Like pulling back a curtain ever so slightly and seeing a brilliant sliver of light cut through the dark. Knowing that there is more, that beyond the curtain, there is a sky of brilliant light just waiting to be revealed—
It is hope. A terrible thing. So distressingly fragile, spinning into a thousand delicate possibilities. The possibility of more clasped hands, more kind words. Rhaenyra, back in her life. Not an enemy, not at odds with her. Maybe… maybe impish Rhaenyra, stealing her books. Telling her about Old Valyria. Her dearest friend. A light beyond the curtain.
OR
What happens when D'Cooke's vision of Rhaenicent ruling together inspires a 180k fix-it. Canon-divergence starts from s1e8. Instead of dying and ruining everything, Vizzy does everyone in Westeros a solid and hangs in there long enough for our ladies to reconcile and prepare to co-queen. Alternating POVs with dual POVs for the first and final chapters. If there are specific TWs for a chapter I will include them in the AN.
