    Summary

    She stumbled backwards, knowing with horror that she was about to trip and fall and hit the ground in utter humiliation - when a hand shot out and grabbed her by the wrist. She was yanked back to her feet.

    “Dreadfully sorry,” said the perpetrator of Alicent’s very near demise. “Are you alright?” Heart thumping, Alicent looked up, half-convinced she was on the floor and just hadn’t noticed it yet - and found herself staring straight into the violet eyes of Rhaenyra Targaryen.

    Summary

    Even in golden fetters, Alicent looked untouchable.

    //

    Framed in the doorway of her prison, Rhaenyra looked too-real. Uncanny in her vividity, like Alicent had simply looked at her face and gotten bee stings down her neck.

    Summary

    Everything about Alicent is rage inducing. The way she’s so awkward she can barely make eye contact, the way her hands shake when they're together in the same room, the way she looks at Rhaenyra like she’s the first person she’s seen in years. Oh, yeah, and the way she locked her in a freezing underground bunker.

    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

    Rhaenyra realized, suddenly, that Alicent’s body wasn’t a statue at all; it was a corral, just like Syrax’s, and there was an ugly, human thing trapped within. Without understanding why, Rhaenyra smiled again. She was dizzy with instantaneous joy, the kind that almost blistered.
     
    Before Rhaenyra and Alicent were enemies, they were friends. Before they were friends, they were enemies. There is no before; there will be no after.

    Duke Leto survives his arrival on Arrakis, allies with the Fremen and forces a compromise with the Padishah Emperor.

    Five years later, Irulan - still unmarried - is summoned from her near exile on Dune as Imperial Observer to testify before the High Council of the Landsraad. Naturally, not all is as it seems.

    But the actions of the right woman in the right place at the right time can make all the difference.

    Summary

    An attempt at synthesizing the canon of Fire and Blood with the sapphic undertones of House of the Dragon. Due to age, rather than being lovers Alicent and Rhaenyra are more foils for one another with parallel, contrasting, romantic journeys. Mostly canon compliant, I think. Trigger warnings throughout when applicable. Thank you so much for reading!!!

    Cregan Stark came into plain view, his dark hair tied back in the Northern fashion, loose strands caressing his face and neck. He appeared gracious and lordly, and as he welcomed them at last, Rhaenyra was pleased to see his written words reflected the man.

    In a show of friendship and goodwill, Rhaenyra--now reigning as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms--is invited to Winterfell by Cregan Stark, a visit that appears straightforward on paper...

    Dragonstone is cold. Alicent had forgotten about that, but when the sun goes down and the chill settles in her bones, even sitting by the fire with her furs wrapped around her and a cup of warmed wine in her hand—then, she remembers.

    I couldn’t just keep her. Couldn’t accept her attempted bargain or her admirable cheat. Couldn’t lean forward in that moldering leather chair and welcome her home with a smile and a kiss hello. That would be against the rules.

    So I had her packaged up for me instead. For later.
