Summary
"What are you doing?" Rhaenyra asks from her spot on the couch behind her.
The smirk that frames her face is only there because she has her back turned. "I'm… warming my hands by the fire?"
"Alicent." she warns.
"Hmmm?"
"Don’t piss me off."
Or Alicent uses her wife as a personal heater while they cuddle on the couch and attempt to kick off the spooky season with a scary movie.

Summary
“Morning,” Rhaenyra murmured, voice rough with sleep. “You’re loud for someone trying to sneak away.”
Alicent almost dropped dead on the spot.
“I’m not-- I’m just-- you have to go.”
Rhaenyra propped herself on one elbow, the picture of sin trying to lounge. “Do I?”
“Yes,” Alicent hissed, waving a frantic hand at her. “My daughter will be here in...” she glanced at the clock “--fifteen minutes.”
That got her attention, but not in the way Alicent hoped.
Rhaenyra’s smile only deepened. “Oh. You’re a mother.”
Alicent swore she was allowed one night of bad decisions.
She did not plan for the babysitter to drop her toddler off at 8:00 AM after said night.Or for the woman she definitely shouldn’t have slept with to still be naked in her bed.

Summary
With the candles lit low, the room holds the hallowed glow of the sept. It is furnished magnificently - all the finest silks and table settings. Soon, Rhaenyra will sit at the high table, all in white. She will take Ser Laenor’s hand, take his oath, take him abed.
Alicent is glad she will never see it.
Or: Alicent decides to run a lot sooner.

what fairytales don't tell you about the wicked stepmother by AsphodeleSauvage
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV)
11 May 2024
Tags
Summary
In fifteen years of marriage, Alicent has never met her stepdaughter Rhaenyra - the daughter her husband Viserys cherished more than he ever did his other children. But the evasive Rhaenyra eventually resurfaces - during Viserys' funeral.
As Alicent tries to navigate her new life as a widowed mother, she also tries to navigate her new and strange relationship to the walking mystery that is Rhaenyra. Family, strangers, friends, enemies: what are they to one another? What could they be?
Maybe things could go well, if only Viserys - dead as he might be - didn't manage to ruin it all from beyond the grave.OR: a meet-cute at a funeral, followed by a tense legal dispute about Viserys' freakin' will (because isn't that the modern-day equivalent to what happened in the show?)

Summary
Glancing over at Yelena, she is still reading whatever was sent to her. “What is it?”
Those green eyes flicker over towards Kate then, just as Yelena turns her phone away so Kate can't read it. “What does yours say?”
Kate shrugs, “you know, details about a thing…might be the same as your thing.”
“Maybe.” Yelena maintains eye contact and Kate finds herself getting lost again. Wanting to push and tease, to wipe that growing smirk off of Yelena’s mouth with her own. “Ava can be very detail oriented when she wants to be.”
“Yeah, yeah same…Kamala, details as big as the fists she can make, you know?”
Yelena shakes her head. “I don’t know that, actually. She doesn’t speak to me much.”
“Yeah you kind of intimidate her.”
“Good.”

Summary
Of all the places Yelena imagined finding a girlfriend, the dumpsters behind her building were, for some reason, the last place she’d ever think to look. But hey, at least now she can finally get her mother to stop asking why she's still single.
or
Kate is a vigilante with too many injuries to count. Yelena is a former assassin with some questionable first aid skills—that’s almost the same as a doctor, right?
/
Yelena never becomes a contract killer. Kate never puts on the Ronin suit. Years later, their paths cross anyway.Bookmarked by rhaenissance

Summary
It’s a stormy day in London. Alicent likes when it’s overcast—it makes going outside during the day a little bit easier. In her age, the sun had grown less harsh, but it is not entirely without its bite. She stands now in the pouring rain of the early dusk of winter, a black umbrella shielding her from the water as she stands outside of the church gates. She used to avoid this place. It reminded her too much of being human. The thought of being human used to hurt more. Now, it feels more like… yearning.
Alicent has been a vampire for over two-hundred years. Thirty years prior to now, she swore she would never taste another drop of human blood. Her oath had never been tempted, never come close to breaking. Until she meets Rhaenyra Targaryen in an empty church after dark.

On Rooftops and In Window frames by explosive_stArs
Fandoms: Hawkeye (TV 2021), Black Widow (Movie 2021), Marvel Cinematic Universe
29 May 2025
Tags
Summary
The rooftop — her safe haven, her main character monologue setting — a liminal space, a personal stage; for her to ruminate, to be dramatic, to wait… and pretend she’s in a dramatic indie film where someone (Yelena) is in love with her and it’s all very inconvenient and angsty and beautiful.
(TL;DR Kate is very very gay (as she mentions multiple times throughout this fic) for Yelena, so gay ensues, softly and romantically.)

Yelena could be doing literally anything else, but instead, she let her big sister drag her to an archery tournament. Something about Steve's young apprentice/partner surprising Clint with his archery skills. Whatever, it was boring!

Five Times Natasha Picked Up the Phone for Yelena (and One Time She Didn’t) by Sanctuaria

Summary
Yelena opens the door in a purple many-pocketed vest and shorts. “Your hair,” she greets her. “It’s gross.”
“Thank you,” Natasha grouses, waiting for Yelena to step aside.
Her sister doesn’t, tilting her head to the side at the platinum blonde bob, cut just below Natasha’s jawline, such that the tips of it curl and tickle her there sometimes. It’s annoying, like Yelena. “It’s because you wanted to be more like me, yeah?”

Ava goes to the next slide. “For shame, Belova,” she says, zooming in at a close-up picture of Kate in her tight, tight, gymnastic leotard. Yelena knows this one very well. And she’s very ashamed of it. “You must have had your first kill when she just started teething. Where’s the decency?”
Yelena roars and jumps on Ava to kill her.

Summary
So, Kate Bishop. Yes, Yelena tries not to think about her. The missions usually help. The alcohol definitely helps. But there’s no vodka here, no extraction team coming, no last-minute reprieve. Just the steady beep-beep-beep of the timer and the temperature that rises along with the cold acceptance that there’s no getting out of this one.
Or, Yelena hasn't seen Kate in more than a year and it takes almost dying a few too many times for her to finally do something about it.

Summary
“What’s she like?”
Alicent sighs. “I do not know. We were friends many years ago.”
At least, Alicent likes to think they were friends. But the princess was always sporadic with her attentions— quick to grow bored of things, discarding the old in favor of the new. Alicent supposes that’s what happened to her, as well. She had written letters, those first few moons after she returned to Oldtown.
The princess never responded.
—
The king is seeking a husband for his omega daughter, so countless lords send their sons to vie for the hand of the future queen.
Alicent is not a son. She is not a knight. Her presentation was surely a mistake, one that’s cost her everything. Now she is her brother’s squire, accompanying him to King’s Landing as he competes for the princess's hand.
