    Summary

    Peter swallows and looks at Tony, unable to keep the heartbroken look off his face. His hand grabs for his book bag while his other sweeps the vials up. Maybe he’s being paranoid, but he can’t risk going back into the system. He closes his eyes, for just a second, to mourn the life he could have had.

    “I’m sorry,” he says to Tony.

    He doesn’t wait to see the man’s response before he pushes through the crowd of people and runs. “Wait!” Tony calls after him.

    But Peter’s already out the door.

    -

    Before Ben died, Peter won a booth to present his project at the Stark Expo. But even on the run from the foster care system, he can't pass up the opportunity to attend and show the world his project. It all goes so well, until it doesn't. Trying to avoid being caught, Peter runs out on Tony just as the man is about to make him the offer of a lifetime.

    Bold of him to assume Tony won't try to find him.

    Summary

    Welcome to most AU to ever AU (some weird bastard hybrid of high fantasy and sci-fi).

    Alicent comes from the most patriarchal nonsense world imaginable, and her planet (Westeros) began a war with Rhaenyra’s planet (Valyria) because Criston Cole is a homophobic ass.
    Following the war’s end, Rhaenyra realizes during treaty negotiations that Alicent (Cole’s fourth wife) is living her worst married life, and so demands that Alicent remain on Valyria as a sign of goodwill.
    Alicent is scared out of her mind (Rhaenyra gained a terrifying reputation during the war) and traumatized beyond belief.
    Rhaenyra is determined to show Alicent that she isn’t a threat (while also dealing with her own baggage on the side).

    In short, this is a hurt/comfort, eventual romance slow burn wherein Alicent finally gets some therapy and Rhaenyra just wants to hug her and wrap her up in a warm blanket (as do we all).

    They will eventually fall in love.

    Or:
    Rhaenicent set on a world I’ve spent the past 20+ years building because I have no life or chill.
