Summary
"Alicent likes the thought of having a twenty-something year old lifeguard available to her whenever she truly desires, but she also likes keeping Rhaenyra on her toes. Regardless, Rhaenyra will be here waiting, and she’ll never say no. It doesn’t matter what Alicent gives or doesn’t give because nothing will change. Being a parent has taught her patience, which is a trait she’s trying to pass on in her own twisted way. "

dear readers, good boy Rhaenyra and mean femme Alicent are back

Summary
In the heart of this tiny, quiet town, Alicent feels it fullest: no one knows her here. Not of her father, her husband, or her sins. It’s a limbo, not a new start—and somehow, the most peace she’s known in years.
Rhaenyra ruins all of it so easily, of course.
Alicent turns against her father, leaves an old life, and retreats to a small house by the lake. Rhaenyra simply can't stay away.
Or: what if i betrayed my father to secure your legacy and we were both girls

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
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
She’s not—it’s not even remotely fair to say she’s in love with Rhaenyra, just because the last time she was so bone-deep exhausted after they’d wrapped production she'd had them drop her at Rhaenyra’s flat and told her just hold me, hold me, make it okay. Or because Rhaenyra had stayed with her, in the hospital. Or because she'd made it okay.
“Alicent,” Laena moans. “You couldn’t be more in love with her if you were characters in Notting Hill.”
(a modern AU friends-to-lovers where it is completely okay to kiss your friend at a gala and openly beef with her ex and cuddle in her bed because that is completely platonic and not complicated and she's completely not in love with you)

Summary
Rhaenyra finds herself infatuated with the mysterious older woman in her new flat block- bizarre, potentially concerning hobbies be damned.
//
Her smile was all teeth.
“Right then.” She glanced down at her watch again and cursed. Now she was really going to miss it. “I’m sorry again, but I’ve really got to go, I’m- shit I’m late.” She moved her other hand to shake the woman’s hand, looked down and saw her long lithe fingers stained a brownish red up to the wrist. Stained with blood. No. Surely her hands weren’t covered in dried blood.
When she looked up the woman was still smiling and surely she was imagining the edge to it?
“Better run along then, yeah?” Voice low and conspiratorial, dripping with something that sent shivers down her spine and straight to the base of her stomach.

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
Alicent has four kids, and two of them are downright fuckups, God love them; a dead husband she never should have married; a father she hasn’t spoken to in years; a God she can’t bring herself to pray to, what with the weight of a mortal sin on her hands; and what some dumb magazine article in the hair salon informed her was probably major depression.
She also has Rhaenyra, despite everything.

Summary
A lifetime has passed since Alicent last saw Rhaenyra Targaryen. She has made good use of her time since and built her own peace, claiming a husband who takes his vows to the letter, a son who has replicated her every feature down to her wounds and flaws, and her own private practice as a therapist for King's Landing's elite.
Rhaenyra has done the same - or found her version of it, at least, after she took over the Dragonstone firm, dated old friends and met new lovers, one of them the woman she'll someday marry, and (half-)quit to embrace her family's historical mark on the art industry, set to release her first film in the coming months.
Everything takes a turn when, after seventeen years, Rhaenyra comes back to King's Landing and signs up to be Alicent's newest client, reviving a fire that now burns with terrible anger, irresistible manipulations, obsession bordering on need, and betrayals of everything they became without each other - starting with their partners and their promises to never (again) fall for each another.
or,
Alicent is (not) Rhaenyra's therapist and they do (not) develop a co-dependent, childhood-inherited, shamelessly adulterous and sexually spiteful relationship.

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
“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.

You’re classic, self-indulgent college au.
