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
Rhaenyra's first love was Shakespeare. Alicent's first love was Rhaenyra.
It's been two years since they've spoken, and Rhaenyra hopes they never see each other again. When she gets an offer to play Romeo in a groundbreaking all-female production on a prestigious regional stage, she can't say no.
There's just one problem; Alicent is her Juliet.Bookmarked by Redlip

Summary
Last Christmas broke Shelby Goodkind’s heart. This Christmas, she’s running for student government president, competing against her influencer ex, and making a very strategic decision about her public image.
Toni Shalifoe is not polished. She’s blunt, stubborn, and deeply unimpressed by Shelby’s holiday enthusiasm. Unfortunately, she’s also magnetic, impossible to ignore, and exactly the person Shelby needs for her plan.
Fake dating was supposed to be simple.
Christmas has other ideas.

Summary
Alicent Hightower would like to make one thing perfectly clear to the Gods, herself, and anyone who has ever known her: she knows without a shadow of a doubt that Rhaenyra Targaryen loves her. That part is not up for debate.
Unfortunately, Alicent has also historically been the one to initiate most things between them.
Which means she really should have predicted the problem.
(The problem being the distinct and infuriating lack of a proposal.)
Or: Alicent spends several months convinced her girlfriend is secretly planning to propose at any given moment. Rhaenyra spends those same months patiently waiting for Alicent to finally make partner - exactly like Alicent once told her to.

Summary
The apartment is perfect. The rent is suspiciously low. The walls are criminally thin.
Alicent Hightower can handle demanding clients, an overbearing father, and a career that’s eating her alive. What she cannot handle is her infuriatingly attractive neighbor in 9B, who treats 2 a.m. like a personal performance hour.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is chaos in leather boots. Alicent is control wrapped in silk.
Between sticky note wars, accidental confessions, snowstorms, and far too much unresolved tension, the line between enemies and something much worse begins to blur.
After all, you can’t silence pleasure.
