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.

Summary
It’s a downright demeaning way to live, she inherently knows this. Alicent used to think one day she would let the guilt get the best of her and end this thing between them before it even really got started, but she’s come to realize over the last few months how weak she is.
It makes her feel dizzy to realize how afraid she is, and how despite that fear, she does it anyway. Gives in time and time again, like Rhaenyra is not a spoiled brat and instead some undeniable force of nature.
(Or, where time and time again Rhaenyra proves she is far from being scrupulous to get what she wants, and time and time again Alicent proves she can’t deny what she undeniably wants.)

Summary
Rhaenyra breathes hard at the proximity. Steps even closer. She does not know why, but she wants to. Craves it. Her usual stony restraint and goading spitefulness when dealing with a furious, self-righteous Queen Alicent having slipped away, leaving only the gnawing want underneath. A feeling that she has rarely acknowledged over these last years though it has been there all along. She feels its force course through her fiercely, unchallenged for the first time in a long time.
“You still wish to reconcile with me?” Rhaenyra whispers in astonishment.
Alicent squeezes her eyes shut, exhales shakily, but she does not move away.
“That is not- do you not see- Oh, Seven Hells.” Alicent lets out a groan of vexation and then lurches forward capturing Rhaenyra’s lips in a bruising kiss.
(Or the Magic Fertility Ritual AU where Alicent and Rhaenyra get each other pregnant and fight each other until they decide to fight for their family)

Summary
“Gods, you sound so much like my mother sometimes.” She grasps her lower lip under her upper teeth. “I’m sorry. Is that cruel of me?”
Myrcella is not capable of cruelty. She is utterly unlike her mother; she is like Sansa used to be, once.
“Of course not, sweetling,” Sansa reassures her.
[After years of imprisonment and torture in the capital, Cersei Lannister is finally to be executed for treason. Sansa bears witness.]

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.
