Summary
Without even hearing the promise, Alicent wrapped her own pinky around Rhaenyra’s. The Princess’s smile was bashful, almost embarrassed, as she whispered, “But… even if I don’t present as an Alpha, and we can’t get married, we’ll still be best friends, right?”
Alicent’s skin tingled where it was touching Rhaenyra’s, “Yes,” She agreed, “Best friends forever, Rhaenyra.”
OR: Alicent and Rhaenyra are best friends, then they're not, then they are again, and the world can't keep them apart.

Summary
“Despite working in the industry I do, being married to my work isn’t a good enough life for these people. I need someone who can act a certain way, convince people of what I need to sell, and I do believe you’re the best candidate. If you’re interested, that is.”
Lexa closes her eyes for a moment - she got it all out and didn’t really embarrass herself or exposed herself too much, that was something to be proud of - before looking at Clarke again. She’s smirking, the playful glint in her eyes giving away her amusement. This probably isn’t the first time someone asked her to play pretend. Which shouldn’t surprise Lexa, yet, somehow, it does.
“So, you want, um... the girlfriend experience.”

Summary
In the waning days of Oldtown’s prosperity during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen, a plague swept through the city, striking down noble and commoner alike. Among the most grievous losses were Ser Otto Hightower, his beloved daughter, and all but one of his sons, leaving the proud house bereft and reeling. In her delirium, Alyrie Florent proclaimed her youngest son, Abelon, to be chosen by the Seven. Whispers of the boy and his supposed divinity reached King’s Landing, the Crown paid little heed.
But the Seven were not so easily ignored, and neither was Abelon.

Summary
“When we met you were eighth in line to the throne.” She’d whispered, eventually. “Your royalty was so obscure and your name so ungoogled and as beautiful as it is your face so unknown that our life was almost normal—it almost seemed like it would be. Like it would be always, even.”
“I couldn’t predict the accident.” Rhaenyra had seethed. “Or the referendum.”
“I know, Rhaenyra.” Her eyes were long and deep and sad. “But neither could I.”

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).
