Summary
Alicent is resigned to the fact that there are so many things she’ll never be able to tell Rhaenyra. That she’s so sorry, that she knows she ruined Rhaenyra’s life, that she shoulders that blame.
That she loves Rhaenyra more than she’s ever loved anyone in the world and this is something, perhaps the only thing about her, that wasn’t changed or taken away by what happened to her when she was fifteen.
But she will never tell Rhaenyra these things because she’s terrified of the response, the inevitable rejection. Instead, she will take what she can get from their renewed friendship and deal with the rot inside of her the same way she always has: alone.
or, in another universe, rhaenyra and alicent are torn apart all the same, but find their way back together

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).

Summary
How unbecoming, too, for her heart to rebelliously dance and snap like the flames of a warm campfire. Warm and cozy, but burning with a fervor that Olivia didn't know how to tamp out.
