    Summary

    in 1930s king's landing, peace between the hightowers and the targaryens— the town's most feared and respected families—is barely being held together. alicent teaches the boys at The Citadel School and does her best to keep her life small and orderly and as far, far away from any of it as she can remain; especially rhaenyra, who has only recently taken over as the new head of the targaryen family.

    then, rhaenyra's four-year old son is placed in her classroom.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra schools her expression and dons a dangerous glint in her eye, “it will be fun to inject some life into her sets—won’t be passionless with me around.”

    Calling Alicent’s music passionless is a stretch, considering she’s put house music on the map again, with millions of listeners on streaming platforms and a recent grammy nomination.

    The interviewer adjusts his glasses, a sort of uneasy expression on his features, “if I didn’t know better, I’d think you’d heard her interview where she called your new album-“

    “Barbaric?” She barks a laugh almost scarily, “yes I did.” Rhaenyra leans back, licks her lips and looks at the camera like she’s addressing someone directly. “Oh Alicent. Always so tidy, aren’t we? God forbid the bass wobble—I prefer to make a bit of a mess.”

    After 5 years away from the London DJ scene to be a producer in L.A., Rhaenyra Targaryen returns to the festival circuit. Just as she’s getting settled back in, she’s chosen to co-headline one of the largest festivals in America with none other than Alicent Hightower, one of the world’s biggest names in House music and her ex best friend.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra, always Rhaenyra, buzzing like a wasp in her head, like the blood under her skin. Rhaenyra who had looked at Alicent with blood dripping from her arm, face twisted: Now they see you as you are.

    What did they see? For Alicent could not see herself. In her younger days, she had looked to Rhaenyra as a mirror, and when Rhaenyra had gone, Alicent’s reflection had gone with her.

    Alicent and Rhaenyra, then and now.

    Summary

    She no longer tallies days like coins. In this humble rhythm of hearth and harvest, beginnings blur—each kiss, each word unspooled from the loom of chronology. A hand grazing a knee, fingertips skimming the edge of a scar, dawn’s light fraying through unbound hair—each moment reigns sovereign, unshackled from hour or season. Yet when she combs Alicent’s locks each morning, her fingers snag on silver threads gilding the auburn like moonlight on a widow’s braid, and Time—that sly, relentless thief—finds her anyway.

    Or;

    Alicent and Rhaenyra grow old together in the cottage they built, a place where they find healing and live out their shared adventures.

    Summary

    "Commander Targaryen," Alicent said, voice crisp over the comms, deliberately omitting the callsign everyone else used, "this is a controlled systems failure drill. You’re expected to respond accordingly."

    Rhaenyra stretched her arms behind her head. "Relax, Hightower. I’m just getting comfortable."

    -

    Rhaenyra Targaryen is everything Alicent Hightower hates—reckless, arrogant, and incapable of following a plan that isn’t hers. And Rhaenyra has spent years pushing every single one of Alicent’s buttons just to see what happens. A story as old as time—except for that one of them is getting launched into space. And the other is charged in keeping her alive.

    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

    “It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”

    It was loving in the beginning.

    Summary

    "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.

    Summary

    " “I…” How can she explain? How can she get out anything that she wished to convey? She had done so much and held so many regrets. Prayer and hope for absolution with the gods scarcely stood against the tidal wave of her transgressions by now, “I did.” It was all she could say.

    Rhaenyra’s breath hitched almost unnoticeably, but Alicent noticed, she noticed everything about Rhaenyra. Perhaps that is why it was so easy to hate her, so easy to pick her apart, not out of resentment, but out of jealousy. For what had Alicent been if not jealous? Of Rhaenyra. Of those she loved. Of those she held so dear she was willing to do anything for them. Of the time she once held that very place in Rhaenyra’s heart. What a bitter tapestry she had woven for herself.

    “You did, what?” Rhaenyra spoke and Alicent could feel her eyes on her, but Alicent was not sure she could look at her and retain the ability to speak.

    “I came here seeking to be absolved.” Alicent could say nothing else, for it was the truth. "

    Summary

    "Mother also says you're not friends anymore. Why?"

    When Alicent lowered her gaze to Joffrey, she read no reproach in the little boy's eyes, merely innocent curiosity. Why weren't they friends anymore? There had been so much pain, so many elements beyond her control that had led to this situation that Alicent had never clearly dared ask herself the question, as if the answer couldn't possibly be simple anyway. And yet the words came to her naturally, like a breath too long held in her lungs.

    "Because we hurt each other, mutually."

    "Why?"

    "Because it was so decided."

    "I don't understand," muttered the child.

    "I don't understand either," was all Alicent could reply.

    It had been four years since Driftmark, since Aemond's lost eye and Rhaenyra's blood. Four years to pray and forget.

    Four years after Driftmark, when Alicent thought she had finally forgotten, the maester announced that little Jaehaerys' lungs were sick and that only Dragonstone's sea air could cure him. And, once again, Alicent was forced to remember, to confront a past that was far too heavy, an echo of all she had lost.

    Summary

    Independence has defined the last three years of Alicent’s life, marked by her liberation from a destructive marriage and the rapid development of her career. Renowned divorce lawyer and as out as she can be without getting scolded by her family, she takes every day as it is given, and will not open her arms (and heart) to the first arrived.

    It is good, then, that Rhaenyra Targaryen, star Formula 1 driver for Firelight, prodigy on her way to reign over the Championship, and madly taken by her, is a lot more special than most.

    Not that Alicent will make it easy for her.

    or,

    Formula 1 driver Rhaenyra falls first, and Alicent pretends she didn’t fall right after (just for the fun of it).

    Summary

    For almost a year, it had been thoughts of Alicent – of her scent, her smile, her care, and the secret, hidden sound she made when Rhaenyra made her come, and of forbidden fantasies of taking her to Dragonstone on Syrax’s back and marrying her in the custom of House Targaryen of old, binding themselves together with steel and blood – that had sustained her. The joy of knowing that she would return not to the childhood companion she had unwittingly lusted after for so long, but to the woman who had responded to her advances and, Rhaenyra had thought, returned her affection. She had been so very wrong.

    Summary

    “It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”

    Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”

    Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”
