    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)
