Summary
With the candles lit low, the room holds the hallowed glow of the sept. It is furnished magnificently - all the finest silks and table settings. Soon, Rhaenyra will sit at the high table, all in white. She will take Ser Laenor’s hand, take his oath, take him abed.
Alicent is glad she will never see it.
Or: Alicent decides to run a lot sooner.

Summary
"I don't think it can be denied, the gods have cursed us. But before there was any of this, war, pain, death, there was love. It always will be, for the rest of our days. After all these years I've lost my will to lie even to myself on that. I know the cords that bind our souls can never be undone. I know you know it too. But love, even with the best of intentions, it all has a way of... just twisting into something it was never meant to be. We've made a mess of this, you and I. But perhaps rather than any one ambition, the true culprit was a lack of understanding."
Rhaenyra presented as Alpha the day after her father announced he was to marry the girl she loved, what was the life that should have been will never be. Stolen. And years of pain, lies, secrets, betrayals and broken promises now lay in its stead.
And when all that is done in the dark comes to light, its earth-shattering revelations will haunt House Targaryen for all eternity.

Summary
alicent hightower grew up watching princess rhaenyra targaryen of valyria from a distance; through headlines, scandals, and her head-of-the-global-council father's word-of-mouth. in adulthood, she's assigned to oversee the peaceful transition of power in valyria to find that rhaenyra targaryen is precisely as intractable as the media and her father promised—
and far, far more dangerous to the order alicent has built her entire life around.
(or; a modern royalty au with political optics, assassinations, absolutely no geographical accuracy, and a doomed sense of professionalism)

Summary
For the briefest moment, Alicent had felt warm. Alive in her own body. Like pulling back a curtain ever so slightly and seeing a brilliant sliver of light cut through the dark. Knowing that there is more, that beyond the curtain, there is a sky of brilliant light just waiting to be revealed—
It is hope. A terrible thing. So distressingly fragile, spinning into a thousand delicate possibilities. The possibility of more clasped hands, more kind words. Rhaenyra, back in her life. Not an enemy, not at odds with her. Maybe… maybe impish Rhaenyra, stealing her books. Telling her about Old Valyria. Her dearest friend. A light beyond the curtain.
OR
What happens when D'Cooke's vision of Rhaenicent ruling together inspires a 180k fix-it. Canon-divergence starts from s1e8. Instead of dying and ruining everything, Vizzy does everyone in Westeros a solid and hangs in there long enough for our ladies to reconcile and prepare to co-queen. Alternating POVs with dual POVs for the first and final chapters. If there are specific TWs for a chapter I will include them in the AN.

Summary
A series of flashes in her mind: Rhaenyra’s head in her lap under the weirwood tree, her crystalline eyes alight. Syrax, saddled for two, soaring across the Narrow Sea to worlds unknown. The ripped page she still keeps locked away in her chambers, alongside a piece of her heart.
Alicent can no longer afford to cling to Rhaenyra’s words like a promise. Yet after the longest of winters, there’s something addictive about the possibility of being consumed by dragonfire.
or, Rhaenyra returns on dragonback. Alicent feels her presence like the rising sun. Post-1x08.

Summary
“You look tired,” Rhaenyra said.
Alicent could not suppress a snort in time. “I was just sick, if you recall,” she said.
“I mean in general. You look… bone weary. You've looked like this for a while.”
Alicent let out a laugh that sounded like a sigh.
“I've been told I seem to be glowing from happiness,” she replied wryly.
Rhaenyra paused and looked intently at Alicent. “Are you?”
“Am I what?,” came Alicent's clipped answer. She felt a familiar itch at her fingernails, and resisted the urge to hide her hands under her skirt.
“Happy,” Rhaenyra did not look away from her face. “Are you happy about getting married?”
“Any maiden would naturally be happy to be getting married,” Alicent smiled and tried not to choke on the words. She hoped Rhaenyra would realize she was uncomfortable and stop pressing the issue. It was not Rhaenyra's nature to be merciful, however.
“But are you happy, Alicent?” she asked once again. Alicent could not remember when was the last time she had heard the Princess speak her name.
