4 a.m is the only time this can happen; when the rest of the world is asleep or just waking, when the dawn is still glazed with night and darkened further by a storm.

Summary
“Alicent this is—” Harrold starts to introduce but the woman is already standing up, reaching out a hand to shake Alicent’s.
“Special Agent Rhaenyra Targaryen,” the woman—Rhaenyra, what a ridiculous name—introduces. Her hand hovers in the air between them, the stale air of the office coming to a standstill. The only movement is the snow falling softly over the New Haven headquarters. Alicent hates December. Though, the sticky heat of summer is an enemy to her now as the build of sweat on the nape of her neck now only reminds her of one thing—one night. Images flicker in her mind—angel wings made of flesh, words penned in blood. She shudders.
Special Agent Alicent Hightower is trying to catch a serial killer. When her previous partner is killed in the hunt, she finds herself stuck with one Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Summary
“No, I’m only joking, it would absolutely be a date, yeah. You’re just so fascinating, I want to pick your brain apart with like… an ice pick or something.”
“A lobotomy, you are describing a lobotomy,” Alicent murmurs.
Alicent is the Director of Communications for the Vice President. Rhaenyra serves as the White House Liaison to the President. Which means they see each other every day. Something that would not be a problem at all—if not for the fact that Alicent absolutely hates Rhaenyra's guts.

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).
