Summary
It was the 90s, and not one good thing came out.
Not what was left of the Westerosi rock scene or the trends that stemmed from it. Perhaps the music if it fell on the right set of ears, yet most likely not with how degenerate the Targaryen sound could be.
But especially not Rhaenyra and Alicent's ever-evolving relationship. Even if their collaborative demise was also the girls' greatest muse.

Summary
Alicent Hightower's life is changed forever when at six years of age, she's gifted a dragon egg by Rhaenyra and happens to hatch it in a single night. Suddenly catapulted from being the daughter of a second son to one of the most powerful persons in the realm, Alicent must grapple with the world's reaction to the only non-Targaryen Dragonrider.
Her and Rhaenyra try to remain together even when the expectations of marriage and childbirth begin to unbalance their fragile peace. The firstborn daughter of the King and her childhood companion turned wife must navigate the game of thrones as they grapple with Rhaenyra's brother Baelon, her uncle and a succession crisis that may plunge the realm into bloody war.

Summary
“I saw you at a gay club,” is, admittedly, not the strongest way she’s ever started a conversation, especially not with the way it stumbles out of her—awkward and thoughtless.
In front of her, Alicent isn’t even finished sitting down. Rhaenyra doesn’t know what she expects in response—maybe for Alicent to stutter and deny, in shame and in anger, or for her to just end this meeting right at this moment and call it a mistake.
Instead, Alicent flushes instantaneously, all the way to her ears, drops down into her seat, and sighs. “You still haven’t developed any kind of subtlety, have you?”
“My bad,” Rhaenyra tries, giving her a sheepish half-grin.
.
Or: They're childhood friends turned strangers, reconnecting after high school aka Alicent discovers lesbianism and dating mascs, and Rhaenyra has feelings about it.

Summary
How much different can one sentence, or a lack thereof, make? The five words that damned Daemon Targaryen, "The Heir for a Day", in this life, were not heard. Can such a small difference prevent the ruin of House Targaryen? Or is war the only fate they can ever know? Alicent and Rhaenyra are caught in the center of a thousand dangerous plots to replace the crown prince and if they do not win the game of thrones, an even more bloody war may follow.
A reimagined House of the Dragon where Rhaenyra is not named heir in Episode 1.

Summary
Rhaenyra looked at Alicent from top to bottom, drinking her in. Without any trace of shame, her eyes stopped at her cleavage. The smooth skin seemed to glow under the flames. Taking a step closer – so close she could feel Alicent’s body heat –, she inhaled heavily, like Syrax would do when smelling the prey she was about to devour. The scent of lavender invaded her nostrils.
This made Rhaenyra smile.
“I think you know exactly why you are here, Alicent.” She whispered, looking deep into her eyes.
“Do I?” The Queen’s body seemed to vibrate, even if she was trying to hide it.

Summary
Hand turns spool,
Spool of green,
Spool of blue and spool of black.
Dragons of flesh weaving dragons of thread.
Though shown with three heads,
Only one can wear the crown
And leave the others dead.In other words, what if Rhaenyra Targaryen had been born a boy?

Summary
The guards and servants went on searching the castle to find the little Prince, and for a brief moment she was left in her chambers with Helaena, who had awoken with the commotion and was now weeping. Alicent knew that if she attempted to hold her, she would only cry further, thus she wished that her daughter would also disappear so that she could finally be alone.
Alicent and her womb.

Summary
The people around her were supposed to be her family, but she did not have true friends to fill her time. No lovers to warm her bed (not that she would ever consider that). Alicent’s eyes wandered to the window of her room, and she wished she were anywhere else.

Summary
“Did Viserys ever tell you that her first word was—”
“Uncle, yes. He was very unhappy about that, I can assure you.”
“He still is, he was complaining about it when Aegon learned how to talk.”
“Ridiculous. Everything he’s had, and it’s never been enough for him.”
“Sometimes I think he’d be happiest if he could have both of you in your own separate boxes. And he’d keep you in different rooms, and he’d never take you out at the same time.”
“And what about your box?”
“I would never be important enough for a box of my own. If he could control both of you, exactly as he liked, he wouldn’t even know that I existed. I’m nothing, in the end. Or I am a box that children can come out of, and that’s all. That’s all I’ve ever been to anyone, my whole life.”
“I’m sure Rhaenyra wouldn’t agree with that.”
Alicent rolls her eyes. “Rhaenyra hates me.”

“Does the King command it?” Alicent interrupted. Echoing words once spat at her.
“He feels it is a good idea and…he will command it if I ask him. But I am asking you. I have informed my father that I would like you to agree or it will not proceed. We are asking for a period for them to spend time together. If after that period you do not consent to the betrothal I will honor your wishes.”
(1x06 fix-it if the betrothal between Helaena and Jacaerys tentatively went forward and Alicent and Rhaenyra were forced to spend time together and communicate)

“Mother, when is Father returning?”
Aegon squirmed as his mother pulled a comb through his long unruly blonde locks with a sigh. He had refused to let her cut it in the year since one of his nursemaids had remarked offhandedly how he had become Rhaenyra’s spitting image.

Summary
“Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”
Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”
“And the Queen.”
The smile drops from her face.

[Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.
