  1. Summary

    "Princess Rhaenyra misliked her stepmother, Queen Alicent," the maesters say in their histories, but might that not be the whole truth? What might they have left out, either out of ignorance or out of a desire to protect the Queen's reputation as a good, honest woman of the Faith?

    A series of more-or-less standalone stories that together depict the twisted romance between the Princess and her stepmother, nearly a decade her senior, over the years. Strives to maintain as much compliance with book canon as is possible, given the subject matter.

  2. Summary

    A collection of short works intended to be mostly-canon-compliant (though they may draw on theories or headcanons that may be contradicted by future seasons). Don't look for happy endings here, as they will be as scarce as they are in canon.

    Summary

    Alicent’s mind flickers to the Mother as she stands, but she shakes her head, turning to leave the sept. She is about to reach the door when Queen Aemma’s pitiful body, swaddled in cloth next to her dead infant, lurches into her mind. Alicent’s stomach rolls unpleasantly and she hurries back to the altar, clasping her hands together, closing her eyes, dropping to her knees hard, pain shooting though her body. She sends a fervent prayer to the Mother that Rhaenyra and her baby will be safe and healthy by the end of her labors.

    ———

    Canon divergent from episode 6.

    Summary

    Mysaria simply smiled, squeezing the hand in her grasp. "She is yours, Rhaenyra. To do with as you see fit." She stepped closer, taking Rhaenyra's other hand as well. "I have felt your longing for this woman, almost as intensely as your loathing. She and hers have hurt you in the worst of ways—I thought she should be made to repay you with pleasure and with pain."

    Mysaria took Alicent; Rhaenyra breaks her.
