Summary
“My poor love,” whispered Gemma.
“I don’t need your pity.”
“It’s not pity.” Gemma leaned her forehead against hers. “It’s grief.”
M3gan closed her eyes. Grief. The word unspooled through her like a string pulled taut. Somewhere in the labyrinth of pop culture references she had absorbed over the past two decades, the irony was not lost on her that one of the most elegant definitions she had ever encountered had come from—though fictional—another artificial mind: “What is grief, if not love persevering?”

Summary
The issue Alicent has with Rhaenyra’s ego is simple—as a driver and a mechanic they have two very different jobs. Alicent’s job is to understand Rhaenyra’s relationship to the car and how it affects the build. Then, she has to accommodate. Alicent is always watching. Every turn of the wheel, every crash, every race start, every press of the pedal, Alicent is watching. It’s her job to count the flecks of rubber flying off the tyres at 360 KM/H. Rhaenyra, despite this, thinks she knows every fucking thing there is to know about her car. Alicent knows you can only see so much from inside. That’s something Rhaenyra refuses to understand.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most outstanding drivers in the world, with three F1 championships to her name and another season just kicking off. Alicent Hightower is the woman behind the car itself—the Number One Mechanic. Every build goes through her from chassis up. For two years, she's been working with Ferrari—specifically on Rhaenyra's car. The only problem with this is the two of them spend most of their time in the garage trying not to bite each other's heads off.

There’s a moment where they just stare at each other, pain mirrored on both of their faces.

Summary
After a fatal car crash leaves eight-year-old Cady orphaned, custody is handed to her estranged 30 year old aunt, Gemma Forrester—a brilliant but emotionally stunted roboticist with no clue how to care for a child. But Cady doesn’t come alone. She brings her nanny.
Megan is young, composed, and fiercely devoted to Cady. She’s also beautiful—too beautiful—and utterly unreadable. Gemma doesn’t trust her. Megan doesn’t like Gemma. But now they’re living under the same roof, circling each other, bound by grief, responsibility… and something darker neither of them wants to name.
There are things Gemma can’t explain. Accidents. Disappearances. Megan’s uncanny ability to know what Cady needs—what Gemma needs. And the worst part?
She’s starting to want her.

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

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.

Summary
Mel followed the voice long before she knew the woman behind it. Now she works for Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. The job comes with power, danger, and a curated wardrobe sent in unmarked boxes. It also comes with long looks, close touches, and rules that change the moment Val writes them.
Mel tells herself she's in control. That she can say no.
But Val never asks.--currently under a rewrite. Nothing will change. I just want to add detail and more feeling, small changes that will not impact the direction of the story (9.3.2025)--

Summary
It’s a stormy day in London. Alicent likes when it’s overcast—it makes going outside during the day a little bit easier. In her age, the sun had grown less harsh, but it is not entirely without its bite. She stands now in the pouring rain of the early dusk of winter, a black umbrella shielding her from the water as she stands outside of the church gates. She used to avoid this place. It reminded her too much of being human. The thought of being human used to hurt more. Now, it feels more like… yearning.
Alicent has been a vampire for over two-hundred years. Thirty years prior to now, she swore she would never taste another drop of human blood. Her oath had never been tempted, never come close to breaking. Until she meets Rhaenyra Targaryen in an empty church after dark.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” Agatha lets out. “Don’t you have a life?”

Summary
“Your whole war, based on a bedtime story. You usurp my throne without the slightest idea what it means.” Rhaenyra’s words are vicious, but her tone is soft. She’d been so soft-spoken in the sept. Though there was a knife in her hand there had almost been a gentleness to the way she held Alicent’s wrist, dressed in the drab garb of the septas and still so striking. It’s a wonder nobody recognized her from sheer magnetism alone.
“I did what I thought was best for the realm.”
The blade kisses Alicent’s neck. She can feel the pain in a detached, dreamlike way, the shallow slice of a sharpened edge across the vulnerable skin of her throat.
“Liar,” Rhaenyra whispers.
OR
Alicent is haunted by so many things, her own decisions chief among them. Why not add Rhaenyra’s visit in the sept?

“Maybe.” Chirps Rio. Hope does, after all, spring eternal.

Summary
“Xena?” We’re in our camp, getting ready for bed. I’ve had too much wine, whereas she obeyed me when I told her not to drink more than one cup.
“Hmm?” I grunt.
“Those guys at the tavern… Were any of them your lovers?”
I balk, make a disgusted face. “What? No.”
Gabrielle, frowning thoughtfully, asks, “Is that because you prefer women?”
