Summary
It’s going to be fine, Alicent. You’re just a bit ill. And you’ve gotten a manicure you can’t remember going to get sometime between nine p.m. and right now, the unhelpful part of her brain supplies.
When she looks up, her stomach lurches even more. Because the reflection that looks back at her does not have red hair or brown eyes or a perpetual frown on her face. Instead, she’s looking at Rhaenyra Targaryen
Or, a body swap AU.

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 is no longer at all sure what she wanted from this encounter, but she knows it isn’t this. She doesn’t want to leave this room with everything between herself and Alicent unresolved like this, although she has no idea how, exactly, to go about resolving it. She has a strange feeling, almost as if a part of her knows that if she leaves now, she will never be able to come back.
canon compliant up to 1x04; what could have happened if Rhaenyra had gone to Alicent instead of Criston after being abandoned by Daemon

Summary
Natalie nods slowly.
“So this… this is a cult. You’re all… ritualistic murderers?”
Lottie scoffs.
“Well,” she says. “We really prefer to think of them as intentional sacrifices.”Natalie enrolls in college to get away from home after her father dies, but she quickly becomes obsessed with a strange, cult-like group of English students on campus, led by Lottie Matthews.
Inspired by The Secret History by Donna Tartt.

Summary
"What is it?"
"The charity is in two days."
Oh no.
"And it got me thinking," Rhaenyra continued, eyes downcast and fiddling with her cup, "everyone is always so pressed about my social image and how I go to these things alone. It doesn't help that I don't seem to have a filter around annoying people, so I was wondering if you would want to accompany me?"
or,
Alicent is Rhaenyra's pr assistant and Rhaenyra is hellbent on making her life a living hell (or paradise?)Bookmarked by chick3nscratch
