Summary
it's a tale as old as time — inseparable as children through everything thrown their way, before lines get blurred during uni, and then things fall apart during uni, and then a line gets drawn after uni. the sharp kind of line, with teeth. the 'i never want to see your face again' kind of line.
rhaenyra targaryen becomes a world-renowned actor, while alicent hightower carves a name out for herself in the indie film and theatre scene. legendary director corlys velaryon has been looking for that One Special Person to co-star in his swan song film alongside rhaenyra.
you're never going to guess who he finds to cast.

Summary
“It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”
It was loving in the beginning.

Summary
“Is this a…sex thing?” Rhaenyra asked tentatively, though again she could recall no such things being discussed—not recently, anyway. “Because I feel like we’ve actually done most of what there is to do.”
Alicent huffed, glaring at her plate. Rhaenyra bit back a smile.
“No, Rhaenyra,” she said, a little tersely, then took a deep breath. “We should get married.”Series

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).
