    Summary

    Rhaenyra’s chuckle is thin, reedy. Her next kiss against Alicent’s hair has something desperate. There’s a thread between them, close to snapping.

    Alicent, who is a problem-solver and also (still fascinating, that) the brave one between them, raises her head. She looks into Rhaenyra’s face. Fireworks up ahead again: blue-green-red-yellow, jewel-tones. Laena’s laugh, Rhaenyra’s eyes blown wide, the greyish purple of steel, of chrome, and, absurdly, of pigeon-breasts.

    Summary

    Sue liked to think of herself as someone who wasn’t totally miserable, and found fun in a lot of activities — telling or hearing a good joke, eating a tub of ice cream, watching the first ice hockey game of the season. But joining Emily’s amateur production of As You Like It, due to open in six weeks at the local theatre, was nowhere on her list of fun pastimes.

     

     

     

    (In which Sue discovers the joys of iambic pentameter, confronts long-repressed emotional issues, and tries to figure out how to pretend to be in love with your best friend for theatrical purposes without acknowledging that you're actually already in love with your best friend. Not necessarily in that order.)

    I feel like I’m going to bookmark everything this author writes but what the hell. This is beautiful and made me feel connected to humanity and history and art. which I think is the highest honour I can give a thing.

    Summary

    And even if getting Rhaenyra in as a soloist was a staggering show of nepotism, she was still the best concert pianist on the planet. It was like when Dmitri Junior recorded Shostakovich’s second. You could get mad about it for a bit, but it was ultimately fair game. Alicent had already reached all these conclusions because Viserys had spoken to her weeks ago about programming the Concerto, which only had the unwanted effect of giving her time to turn it over in her brain like a particularly nauseating Rubix cube. Each solution of the puzzle led her to the same conclusion: she would be seeing Rhaenyra imminently, and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do about it.

     

    After ten years apart, Rhaenyra Targaryen re-enters Alicent's life for a set of solo engagements with her orchestra. Things go about as well as expected (not very).

    Summary

    “If someday you did develop feelings for someone, would you tell them?” Vi asked
    Caitlyn shrugged, curling inwards on herself slightly “I don’t know”.
    “Why not?”
    Caitlyn chewed her lip for a moment, absently tugging at a loose thread on her jeans.
    “Because even if I developed feelings I couldn’t guarantee I could offer them what they wanted. Then it seems pretty selfish to deny them the chance of getting everything with someone else.”
    Vi huffed and shook her head softly, a tired smile tugging at her lips “And if
    you were everything they wanted?”
    Caitlyn looked over then, meeting Vi’s gaze “Don’t think the chance of that are very high but if you find them, let me know”.

     

    While both Caitlyn and Vi seem perfectly put together on the surface they both feel pretty lost underneath. An unlikely friendship brings them together and sends them on a journey to trying to figure out who they are and what they want to be happy.
