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.

In order to secure the succession, he calls upon all the great lords of Westeros to finally bend the knee to his younger alpha brother, the Rogue Prince Daemon, as the official Heir to the Iron Throne.
Less than a moon later, young Princess Rhaenyra presents as an alpha.
And so the dance begins.

Summary
It’s sometimes hard for Rhaenyra to comprehend how much her life has changed as of late.
A year ago she was betrothed to her dear cousin. She was fighting at her uncle’s side in the Stepstones. Slaughtering men by day. Sharing her bed with whores by night.
Rhaenyra thought that would be her lot in life. She was a second child— a forgotten spare in her father’s eyes on the best of days, and a cruel reminder of her mother’s violent death on the worst.
But everything has changed, now. Rhaenyra never knew that life has so much more to offer.

Summary
“Could you…”
Sue motioned to the back of her dress, where she hadn’t been able to reach the top buttons.
Emily simply nodded as Sue turned around, finding her best friend’s image in the mirror in front of them. She watched as Emily delicately traced the edge of her dress with her fingers. She pretended not to notice Emily’s quick intake of breath when those fingers brushed against her skin, just as she pretended not to feel the goosebumps they left in their wake.
It wasn’t a new sensation, anyway.
