Summary
“Well well well…” Rhaenyra smiled at her. "You’re not Otto Hightower."
Alicent swallowed. “And you’re not Daemon Targaryen.”
Rhaenyra raised a perfectly arched eyebrow. “Thank God.”
Unlike Alicent, Rhaenyra seemed delighted by the discovery. “My meeting just became a lot more interesting.”--
On her way to a business meeting her father had forced her to attend, Alicent encountered an infuriatingly charming stranger who seemed intent on distracting her from her work.Bookmarked by NobleButcherOfDreams

Summary
Alicent knows she shouldn’t bite but she cannot stop her reflexive retort. “That’s rich coming from a notorious narcissist.”
She immediately regrets it, is on the verge of apologising, but Rhaenyra is quicker and out for blood now, a dangerous glint in her eye.
“Better a self-aware narcissist than a self-righteous, deluded, parasite. Tell me do they teach charlatanism at the Citadel or is that something you inherited from your father?”
(Modern Academics AU - Alicent, literature professor and noted novelist, returns to King’s Landing after a long absence to take a position at the same university where former best friend Rhaenyra is a member of the history faculty. Why did they fall out and why in the Seven are they teaching a lecture together?)

Summary
The issue Alicent has with Rhaenyra’s ego is simple—as a driver and a mechanic they have two very different jobs. Alicent’s job is to understand Rhaenyra’s relationship to the car and how it affects the build. Then, she has to accommodate. Alicent is always watching. Every turn of the wheel, every crash, every race start, every press of the pedal, Alicent is watching. It’s her job to count the flecks of rubber flying off the tyres at 360 KM/H. Rhaenyra, despite this, thinks she knows every fucking thing there is to know about her car. Alicent knows you can only see so much from inside. That’s something Rhaenyra refuses to understand.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most outstanding drivers in the world, with three F1 championships to her name and another season just kicking off. Alicent Hightower is the woman behind the car itself—the Number One Mechanic. Every build goes through her from chassis up. For two years, she's been working with Ferrari—specifically on Rhaenyra's car. The only problem with this is the two of them spend most of their time in the garage trying not to bite each other's heads off.

Summary
“Oh- oh, shit, you’re bleeding.”
Rhaenyra would’ve rolled her eyes if her head wasn’t pounding so heavily. “Yeah, I told you, you broke my-”
But it was then that her sight had finally cleared and she was able to see her bathroom companion for the first time.
Fuck.
A girl.
Like a laughably, ridiculously pretty girl, nearly half a foot shorter than Rhaenyra, with curling red hair streaming down her back. She stood right in front of her, uncomfortably close, with these big, dark eyes almost as teary as Rhaenyra’s own.
Her anger dissolved at once.
OR
You’re classic, self-indulgent college au.
