   Summary

   "Rhaenyra’s grip, a vestigial embrace, taps back at her wrist. Who else but I has split you open, Alicent wonders."

   Canon divergent from S1EP8 ("The Lord of the Tides"). Rhaenyra stays just a little longer to speak with Alicent alone after the nightmare family dinner. Their shared discovery of Viserys' death will completely change the course of the war.

   Featuring: reluctant soon-to-be frequent flyer, Alicent Hightower; an injured but determined Rhaenyra; an indecent amount of overdue lesbian processing; extended internal monologues; and, oh yeah, a war for the iron throne I guess.
