   Summary

   An alternate retelling of the relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra. The characters are reimagined as a little bit older at the beginning of the story. The story starts around the same time as episode 2 after Rhaenyra gets home from Dragonstone and speaks with her father. Rhaenyra runs into Alicent and cannot wait to tell her all about her run-in with Prince Daemon on Dragonstone. What would happen if a friendly nightcap caused some buried truths to come to life between lifelong friends? Would Alicent and Rhaenyra do things differently if they knew about each other's true feelings before it was too late?

   Will have alternating POVs. The timeline, storyline, and ages will not adhere to the show/book canon.
