    Summary

    Rhaenyra Targaryen’s campaign should be a disaster. She has a weirdly close relationship with her uncle, had an affair with Harwin Strong while married to Laenor Velaryon, dates celebrities of all genders and swears on prime-time television. She goes viral on social media, comes from old money but leads a left-leaning campaign and says the truth in interviews.

    This senate race should be a slam dunk. The easiest win of Alicent’s career.

    Instead, she wakes up to learn Rhaenyra is beating her father’s candidate by fifteen points in the polls.

    This country is fucked.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra breathes hard at the proximity. Steps even closer. She does not know why, but she wants to. Craves it. Her usual stony restraint and goading spitefulness when dealing with a furious, self-righteous Queen Alicent having slipped away, leaving only the gnawing want underneath. A feeling that she has rarely acknowledged over these last years though it has been there all along. She feels its force course through her fiercely, unchallenged for the first time in a long time.

    “You still wish to reconcile with me?” Rhaenyra whispers in astonishment.

    Alicent squeezes her eyes shut, exhales shakily, but she does not move away.

    “That is not- do you not see- Oh, Seven Hells.” Alicent lets out a groan of vexation and then lurches forward capturing Rhaenyra’s lips in a bruising kiss.

    (Or the Magic Fertility Ritual AU where Alicent and Rhaenyra get each other pregnant and fight each other until they decide to fight for their family)
