Summary
The issue Alicent has with Rhaenyra’s ego is simple—as a driver and a mechanic they have two very different jobs. Alicent’s job is to understand Rhaenyra’s relationship to the car and how it affects the build. Then, she has to accommodate. Alicent is always watching. Every turn of the wheel, every crash, every race start, every press of the pedal, Alicent is watching. It’s her job to count the flecks of rubber flying off the tyres at 360 KM/H. Rhaenyra, despite this, thinks she knows every fucking thing there is to know about her car. Alicent knows you can only see so much from inside. That’s something Rhaenyra refuses to understand.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most outstanding drivers in the world, with three F1 championships to her name and another season just kicking off. Alicent Hightower is the woman behind the car itself—the Number One Mechanic. Every build goes through her from chassis up. For two years, she's been working with Ferrari—specifically on Rhaenyra's car. The only problem with this is the two of them spend most of their time in the garage trying not to bite each other's heads off.

Summary
It was entirely unfair, Alicent thought, that on this day (a day where she was hungover, had no make-up on, was sweating to the point that she could feel it beading on her temple and upper lip, and her shirt was sticking everywhere) she would come face-to-face with the most gorgeous woman she had ever seen.
“Hi,” the object of Alicent’s frustration said amiably, standing behind the till in the Student Union’s coffee shop. “How are you?”
In which Alicent Hightower drinks coffee, makes small talk, and really, really fancies her favourite barista.

Summary
“I heard you was looking for help?” the woman asks, her voice a smooth velvet that drips like honey. Despite the snow, her voice feels warm as it echoes against the barren walls of the kitchen. The pot of coffee is done and for the first time in over a season, Alicent pulls two mugs down from the cupboard.
Or, a study of the formation of a quiet affair between a wandering farmhand and a lonely widow.

Summary
“Fair play,” Rhaenyra replies, “But you can’t just spend all summer wasting away here, your only friend to speak of being the 30 year old lesbian who cleans your pool.”
“That seems like something you made up just now,” Aegon responds lightly, “Rather than an actual rule.”
or,
After her mugshot makes it into the tabloids, Rhaenyra strikes a deal to keep her inheritance that involves a summer spent working at her cousin's landscaping company. This brings her to the house of delinquent teenager Aegon Hightower and his lonely, high-strung mother.
