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.

Summary
Alicent's eyes snap down just in time to see the wine rising toward the rim of her cup, smooth and unhurried, the carafe balanced in Rhaenyra’s hand like it weighs nothing at all.
An old Targaryen gesture, shared between lovers. Intimate and dangerous.
And Rhaenyra had done it in front of every whispering mouth in the realm.

Summary
“Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”
Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”
“And the Queen.”
The smile drops from her face.
OR
[Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.

Summary
If the Red Keep wasn’t already the place to be in London tonight, then it certainly is now. Rhaenyra Targaryen has declared it so.
Alicent swigs her prosecco, swallowing hard, and forces a smile. “No, it’s fine. It’s a superclub, right? There’ll be so many people, and she’ll be VIP. We won’t see her.”
I won’t see her, she repeats internally, a mantra and a misery all at once.

Alicent’s friends drag her to a club opening to celebrate her birthday. Turns out her ex-girlfriend has similar plans.

“Maybe loyalty is a kind of patience. Like hope. A holding pattern for the heart, while we wait for change.”
Marianne needed a change. Teaching in a country prep school for a year, as it turned out, would change pretty much everything.

"And Jamie has now been flirting with me as practice--" not practice, Jamie had specified but Dani does not know what to make of it "--and just now, she kissed me on the forehead and tucked my hair behind my ear and I have caught her looking at me with fond smiles today and I--" she takes a huge breath. Merely thinking about it makes her want to scream in her pillow. "--think I'm losing it. I am not going to survive this evening, Hannah."

She tells you that kids were never in her cards, never in her plan, but she wouldn’t mind figuring out the answers with you.’

'And maybe you can’t understand peace just yet, but you can understand boring, and maybe they’re not unlike one another all that much. As the buds of your moonflower dwindle, you find yourself staring at the stars with them, wondering why you can’t bloom for the hell of it too.'
Or, Dani isn’t ready for company, Jamie thinks a lot, gets a cat, and learns what peace can mean, and they both take a year to grow.

Running away from her wedding, Dani's car breaks down on the side of the road. She's rescued (accidentally) by a grumpy curmudgeon who believes Christmas is for saps. Too bad they are going to be forced to spend it together.
