    Summary

    “So,” Rhaenyra sighs, her hand taking its place once more on Alicent’s thigh, her own leg sliding between Alicent’s. Her face is dangerously close to Alicent’s when she asks again, “What do you want?”

    Despite running in the same social circles, Alicent Hightower can't stand Rhaenyra Targaryen. That is, until a chance encounter in a bathroom at a party featuring a moment of lost control, the two strike up an arrangement.

    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

    Everything about Alicent is rage inducing. The way she’s so awkward she can barely make eye contact, the way her hands shake when they're together in the same room, the way she looks at Rhaenyra like she’s the first person she’s seen in years. Oh, yeah, and the way she locked her in a freezing underground bunker.

    Summary

    Ten years after Runaway, Greta and Carson learn a little more about themselves, and about being parents.
