Summary
Two minutes. That's how long it takes a word to travel from Alicent's mouth to Rhaenyra's ear, three million miles away. Not enough time to say most of what matters. Just enough to fall in love anyway.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is the best commander Targaryen Space has ever trained. Alicent Hightower is the only voice she trusts in her ear for months at a time. They've built a life out of comm windows and coded phrases, out of loving someone who keeps choosing the sky over solid ground.
But one mission is different. There are thinner margins, higher stakes and a fight neither of them resolved before liftoff.
