Summary
Twenty six and nearing the completion of her dissertation, Alicent feels the fissures deepening beneath her.
She’s woken up screaming four nights of the last seven, though whatever nightmare had terrified her so is quickly evaporated by morning. There are dark circles dug out under each of her eyes. Her hands shake. She’s sick with no discernible cause.
She decides to give therapy a go.

In the end, it is the Father’s judgment which matters most. Nevertheless…I hope you will forgive me, too.
Or: five letters penned by the Lady of Hightower, and one by the Princess of Dragonstone.

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.

Should Have Jumped (When You Told Me To) by mrdcai

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?)
