Summary
And even if getting Rhaenyra in as a soloist was a staggering show of nepotism, she was still the best concert pianist on the planet. It was like when Dmitri Junior recorded Shostakovich’s second. You could get mad about it for a bit, but it was ultimately fair game. Alicent had already reached all these conclusions because Viserys had spoken to her weeks ago about programming the Concerto, which only had the unwanted effect of giving her time to turn it over in her brain like a particularly nauseating Rubix cube. Each solution of the puzzle led her to the same conclusion: she would be seeing Rhaenyra imminently, and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do about it.
After ten years apart, Rhaenyra Targaryen re-enters Alicent's life for a set of solo engagements with her orchestra. Things go about as well as expected (not very).

Summary
“There is something else you should know, before you come. I’d hate for you to be blindsided.”
'The way I was when Rhaenyra got married?' She almost asks, but holds her tongue.
“Yes?” She says, instead.
Viserys clears his throat. “It’s about Rhaenyra.”
“Of course it is.” She can’t hold back a biting remark. She wonders what it is this time. Has The Realm’s Delight decided to introduce a third person into her loving marriage? Rhaenyra’s never been quite satisfied with the conventional, after all. Or, perhaps, she’s pregnant again, with her third. It’s a daughter, perhaps. She’s always wanted a daughter. “What is it?”
“Well, she’s back from Essos. And… Her divorce has been finalised.”
Alicent needs to sit down.
//
Or, ex-childhood friends reunite after years of avoiding each other, and the entire Targaryen-Velaryon clan plays matchmakers.

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
Nat is waiting for Misty when she comes home, with news of another break-in. Misty makes sure to look shocked and confused when she says, “Oh, no!” and closes the front door behind her. “That’s awful.” Then, smiling wide, she holds up a bag of take-out. “Hungry? You can tell me what you found over dinner.”
or, Misty stages a series of burglaries to get Nat's attention, and it absolutely works. Eventually.

Summary
“Don’t come any closer,” Alicent spits, holding the stake out in front of her. She wasn’t prepared for a fight tonight, but that won’t stop her from trying. Realistically, these creatures are faster and stronger than her and could probably tear her to pieces if they catch her off guard. However, Alicent has been lucky enough to have never been caught off guard.
“Hey, hey, I’m not here to—that wasn’t me, okay?” the woman defends, raising her hands in surrender. She doesn’t move, eyes darting to the stake in Alicent’s hand. “I think we’re looking for the same guy. I can help you.”
Alicent is hunting a vampire ravaging New York City. Unfortunately, it seems his vampire sister is looking for him too.
