    Summary

    it's a tale as old as time — inseparable as children through everything thrown their way, before lines get blurred during uni, and then things fall apart during uni, and then a line gets drawn after uni. the sharp kind of line, with teeth. the 'i never want to see your face again' kind of line.

    rhaenyra targaryen becomes a world-renowned actor, while alicent hightower carves a name out for herself in the indie film and theatre scene. legendary director corlys velaryon has been looking for that One Special Person to co-star in his swan song film alongside rhaenyra.

    you're never going to guess who he finds to cast.

    Summary

    “No, I’m only joking, it would absolutely be a date, yeah. You’re just so fascinating, I want to pick your brain apart with like… an ice pick or something.”

    “A lobotomy, you are describing a lobotomy,” Alicent murmurs.

    Alicent is the Director of Communications for the Vice President. Rhaenyra serves as the White House Liaison to the President. Which means they see each other every day. Something that would not be a problem at all—if not for the fact that Alicent absolutely hates Rhaenyra's guts.

    Summary

    She shakes her head. “What did you think this was going to be, Rhaenyra? Quickies in my office? You going to finger me in the lunch line?”

    Rhaenyra quirks a brow. “I’d wait until we sat down, at least.”

    Summary

    “Oh my god,” Billy says, and when Rio glances up, they’re all staring at her: Billy, Eddie, Alice, Jen. “You and Agatha went on a date.”

    Rio scoffs. “It wasn’t a date. It was just dinner.”

    “So you just rolled out of bed and let her buy you an expensive dinner?” Jen says, which makes Alice snort.

    “Sounds like you have a sugar mama,” Alice says. “I guess that’s one way of surviving academia.” They all laugh, and Alice raises her water glass to salute Rio. “No judgment,” she adds. “I would kill for a hot older professor buying me dinner and helping me with my writing.”

    Rio's POV.

    Summary

    “You know why,” Alicent whispers, finally revealing her first honest statement over the course of this entire conversation. The words are breathy, scared, and have so much loaded behind them she almost feels lighter having said them out loud. “Go back to the office, Rhaenyra. Just because chance has put us in each others’ paths today does not mean we have to suddenly have some guilt-fueled reunion where we rehash everything from the last ten years and then go our separate ways once more. You do not know me and I do not know you.”

    Alicent Hightower used to be a writer. According to the literary world, she still is, but according to her, she has not been able to write a word of her much anticipated fourth novel ever since the death of her father and her most recent break-up. Rhaenyra Targaryen recently inherited her father's company and such a weight has put a strain on herself and her marriage. She and Alicent have not seen each other since they broke up ten years ago. Until now.

    Summary

    “I heard you was looking for help?” the woman asks, her voice a smooth velvet that drips like honey. Despite the snow, her voice feels warm as it echoes against the barren walls of the kitchen. The pot of coffee is done and for the first time in over a season, Alicent pulls two mugs down from the cupboard.

    Or, a study of the formation of a quiet affair between a wandering farmhand and a lonely widow.

    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

    “I made a list!” Ava trills.
    “A list.”
    “Yeah!” Oh no. Ava’s grin is wicked. “Of all the things that turn me on when I’m with a boy.”
    Jesus Christ. Good thing Beatrice lowered that bottle.
    “Care to explain?” she groans.
    “I call it the to do list. I figured if I do all of this stuff with a girl and I get turned on, it means I’m also into girls.”

    Summary

    Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”

    Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.

    “Ava, what the fu—”

    *

    Or,

    Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra takes a sip of her drink, eyes searching across the room. Alicent is sitting on the plush sofa in the sunken living room talking with Aegon. The soft light from the floor lamp bounces off her auburn curls, casts shadows on her cheek bones. Her face is alight with a brilliant smile. She is exquisite. Rhaenyra aches.

    Laena clicks her fingers in front of Rhaenyra’s face, “Oy. Stop that. You can’t immediately go all moony looking at her when I’ve just told you off about it.”

    “Apologies, Laena. I can’t really help it.” Rhaenyra mumbles into her drink. She is just drunk enough to be unfailingly honest.

    “I know you can’t, you idiot. That’s my whole point. You can’t keep casually sleeping together if you have feelings for her.”

    She’s right of course. But that doesn’t mean Rhaenyra is going to listen.

    “You need to bone.”

    Rhaenyra whips her head around to shoot her cousin an incredulous look. “Excuse me?”

    “Says the Realm’s Delight.” Alicent replied in rebuttal, “A Princess that commands a dragon.”

    Rhaenyra grinned, slipping her arms around Alicent’s waist. “You too command a dragon. She stands beside you. Always.”

    OR

    Rhaenyra has a twin brother. Viserys is an equal opportunity sovereign. Otto is a dick.

    Alicent has it bad for her Princess. Rhaenyra has it worse for her bestie. Can they withstand all that life throws at them and still hold on to one another?

    "Alicent finally lifted her head, smiling just a bit, and saw Rhaenyra studying her with blatant interest. The boldness of it surprised her, and she struggled not to duck once more, her face aflame.

    'I- I would be most honored, and most grateful to accept, your Grace.' Her father's hand pinched at her, and Alicent's spine stiffened. 'We thank you for your courtesy, my Princess. My King.'

    Applause broke out amid the Court, and Rhaenyra smiled at her. A full, unguarded smile. Alicent did duck her head then, her face redder than the Keep, but her father did not notice this time.

    The Hightowers had been welcomed back home."

    The Princess will have what she wants, and all she wants is Alicent.

    "I think," Ava began, chewing on the thought, "That you should take my virginity."

    Beatrice's first reaction was what a hellish thing to say in the middle of the Atlantic City boardwalk, right outside of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. "Take it?" She responded, deciding to address the brutish first part of the sentence, "Ava, that's a little antiquated, don't you think?"

    Ava said, "Seriously? That's your response to this?"

    Or,

    Ava and Beatrice meet for the first time at ten years old, and again in a very different way their last summer before college.
