Summary
Kate and Yelena are deep undercover in the suburbs, posing as a married couple while working to dismantle what’s left of Fisk’s criminal empire. It’s supposed to be simple—keep a low profile, gather intel, and avoid suspicion. But between nosy neighbors, unexpected dinner guests, and a fake relationship that starts feeling way too real, things get complicated.

Summary
She can’t escape the throne. Or the girl it was meant to devour. Alicent Hightower wears the regency like a crown of thorns. Confined by duty, something’s going to cleave. Maybe the realm. Maybe her heart. Maybe the line between them.
"One year,” Rhaenyra spits the words, “and if you linger a day beyond, Alicent, I will take the throne with fire.”
Or;
Viserys died earlier within the six-year time skip. Alicent successfully becomes queen regent. Rhaenyra arrives in King’s Landing. It changes everything.

Is It Business Casual Now? by ToriWritesStories

Summary
“Excuse me, are you Violet?”
The woman huffed in clear frustration. “It’s Vi." Sighing, she turned in her chair. "But it's fine. You must be—” Vi froze with her lips parted, eyes widening as she looked over Caitlyn with what could only be described as shock.
“Caitlyn—the new HR intern. Apparently I'll be shadowing you?"
Aka: For her summer internship, her first real work experience, Caitlyn did not expect her mentor to be practically the definition of her type, and she certainly never expected that she might fall for someone twelve years older than her.

Summary
Alicent Hightower doesn’t do this. Rhaenyra Targaryen thinks she has her figured out — another rich woman playing make-believe, trying to buy something close enough to affection that she can almost mistake it for the real thing. She’s done this before. She knows how it goes.
Except Alicent is different. She listens. She smiles like it costs her something. She asks. And Rhaenyra makes the rookie mistake of falling in love with a client.

Summary
I think,” Rhaenyra said, turning to face her more fully now, “you’re a little too graceful to be here by accident. And definitely too pretty to be drinking alone.”
That earned her a proper smile.
Small. Slow. A flash of something behind those big, brown-coloured eyes.
“Well, then," the woman said, lifting her glass, "I suppose I should say thank you.”
“You should,” Rhaenyra said, clinking her glass gently against the other’s.
Rhaenyra agreed to meet her father's new girlfriend. She didn't agree to like her. And she definitely didn't plan on trying to pick her up at the bar before the three of them were seated for dinner.

Summary
Alicent exhaled, shuddering slightly. “I thought she was making it up,” she admitted. “She said her friend had silver hair and dragons, and I thought--”
Rhaenyra’s mouth curved, not quite a smile. “--that she was imagining things.”
Though their balconies are mere meters apart, Rhaenyra and Alicent have never met. It becomes much to Alicent's surprise when her daughters 'imaginary friend' turns out to be the captivating woman next door. The resulting confrontation becomes less of an argument and more of a first date.

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).

“She was about to be killed,” Rhaenyra cuts in, quick.
“That’s your excuse? You could have called for a guard. Kept your distance. But you didn’t.” Daemon’s voice dips, almost amused. “You put your hands on her like—” He breaks off with a low laugh. “Seven hells, Rhaenyra.”

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.

She shakes her head. “What did you think this was going to be, Rhaenyra? Quickies in my office? You going to finger me in the lunch line?”
Rhaenyra quirks a brow. “I’d wait until we sat down, at least.”
