    Summary

    A beat thuds from the stereo, so heavy it rattles the coins in the well of the passenger door. The crease deepens in Vi’s cheek until the smile breaks through, and when they’re back on the highway with the wind thundering through the open windows, sun on her skin and her hair cutting across her vision so that Vi comes to her in flashes of white teeth and black glasses, in arms shifting to the sixth gear, her voice full and loose as she sings, Caitlyn stops herself from closing her eyes around the moment because she can already see herself years from now running her thumb over this one like a worn photo from a wallet and she doesn’t want to be there yet, in the future where all of this is behind her — she wants to be here, now and in it, in the possibility that it could go on forever. Like asphalt, like sun.

    Oklahoma, 1996. Vi's a storm chaser, and Caitlyn's just along for the ride.

    Summary

    “I’m entertainment, why would I be doing a race?”

    Entertainment editor at her father's magazine, Alicent Hightower finds herself assigned to the Monaco Grand Prix when her coworker is out sick for the weekend. It's not so bad, though, as it seems she'll be interviewing the only current female driver in the League—Rhaenyra Targaryen.

    Summary

    “I heard you was looking for help?” the woman asks, her voice a smooth velvet that drips like honey. Despite the snow, her voice feels warm as it echoes against the barren walls of the kitchen. The pot of coffee is done and for the first time in over a season, Alicent pulls two mugs down from the cupboard.

    Or, a study of the formation of a quiet affair between a wandering farmhand and a lonely widow.

    Summary

    If the Red Keep wasn’t already the place to be in London tonight, then it certainly is now. Rhaenyra Targaryen has declared it so.

    Alicent swigs her prosecco, swallowing hard, and forces a smile. “No, it’s fine. It’s a superclub, right? There’ll be so many people, and she’ll be VIP. We won’t see her.”

    I won’t see her, she repeats internally, a mantra and a misery all at once.

    x

    Alicent’s friends drag her to a club opening to celebrate her birthday. Turns out her ex-girlfriend has similar plans.

    Summary

    "The wedding?" Alicent frowns. "But the prince is dead, Father."

    Otto smiles slowly. "Yet the princess lives."

    --

    A fortnight before his wedding, Crown Prince Baelon dies mysteriously in his chambers, aged just eight-and-ten.

    And so the Rogue Princess Rhaenyra is summoned back to King's Landing, not only as the new Heir to the Throne, but also Alicent Hightower's new betrothed.
