Summary
“It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”
Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”
Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”

the essence of sin is disordered love by rotten (catgamer)

Summary
It’s a downright demeaning way to live, she inherently knows this. Alicent used to think one day she would let the guilt get the best of her and end this thing between them before it even really got started, but she’s come to realize over the last few months how weak she is.
It makes her feel dizzy to realize how afraid she is, and how despite that fear, she does it anyway. Gives in time and time again, like Rhaenyra is not a spoiled brat and instead some undeniable force of nature.
(Or, where time and time again Rhaenyra proves she is far from being scrupulous to get what she wants, and time and time again Alicent proves she can’t deny what she undeniably wants.)

Summary
“It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”
It was loving in the beginning.

Summary
Alicent is waiting for her in the chamber with the dragon mosaic, wringing her hands together. Her heavy, black cloak shows a flash of vermillion underneath, and it strikes Rhaenyra how perfectly suited she is to stand there, in the firelight, complimenting the weathered tiles.
Rhaenyra and Alicent use the passages under the Red Keep and eventually, fall in love.

Summary
Rhaenyra realized, suddenly, that Alicent’s body wasn’t a statue at all; it was a corral, just like Syrax’s, and there was an ugly, human thing trapped within. Without understanding why, Rhaenyra smiled again. She was dizzy with instantaneous joy, the kind that almost blistered.
Before Rhaenyra and Alicent were enemies, they were friends. Before they were friends, they were enemies. There is no before; there will be no after.Bookmarked by pondgron
