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
She stumbled backwards, knowing with horror that she was about to trip and fall and hit the ground in utter humiliation - when a hand shot out and grabbed her by the wrist. She was yanked back to her feet.
“Dreadfully sorry,” said the perpetrator of Alicent’s very near demise. “Are you alright?” Heart thumping, Alicent looked up, half-convinced she was on the floor and just hadn’t noticed it yet - and found herself staring straight into the violet eyes of Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Summary
Taken to an unknown land by raiders, the Lady Alicent Hightower—armed with her steadfast piety, her prayer book, and a natural talent for politics—has set her mind on returning home once winter ends; she refuses to be swayed from her goal, no matter how fond she becomes of her much older Northern guardian.
With the long chill fast approaching, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen is prepared to spend yet another winter alone, but when a wounded and malnourished Southern woman arrives to her shores, the Queen comes to a decision that changes the course of her life.
Or, Alicent is a young pious noblewoman, Rhaenyra is a sword-wielding Norse monarch, and love can bloom in even the most unhospitable places.

Summary
Alicent Hightower, DVM, has a life that many dream of at 32 years-old. She runs a veterinary clinic in rural Southern Illinois, has plenty of friends that she only ever sees at work, and a steady boyfriend who is wildly in love with her. Alicent, however, is married to her job, and finds very little time for anything else. Her boyfriend wants them to move in together, and her friends keep telling her to get a life outside of work, but she can only run from her problems for so long.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is the current top female rodeo athlete in the country, and has been competing against the pressure of upholding her father’s legacy as the greatest American Bull Rider for most of her life. Rodeo is the one thing that can quiet her mind. When the only thing in the world is her body and the bull beneath it, Rhaenyra can feel eight seconds of total freedom. But with pressure mounting for the upcoming season, she's desperate for a distraction.
