    Summary

    She would know her anywhere, be it in dreams, a passerby, a story. It’s not a ghost. Bright-eyed, sun-kissed, and life-worn, she’s different in all the ways Maomao thought she would be after all these years, in all the ways she hoped she would be despite the tragedy that seemed set in stone for her and hers.

    Quietly, as though an earnest prayer, unspoken but felt all the same: Shisui.

    Or: Ten years after Shisui leaves her, Maomao finds herself in a nameless village, chasing the trail of a ghost.

    Summary

    Alicent says a silent prayer to the Gods as she walks into the lake, the cold that bites at her waist until her body grows numb, and she can no longer shiver. She prays for her children, for Rhaenyra and her sons to rest peacefully. Alicent begs the Gods have mercy to forgive her, if not for herself, than to not allow them to suffer. She embraces the touch of death as she plunges below the water, and her lungs scream for air, until she no longer has the energy to fight.

     

    She expects there to be pain, for she deserves it, but there is only calm and darkness as she closes her eyes and embraces the stranger.

     

    But the Gods are horribly cruel, and Alicent opens her eyes once more.

    --

    The gods give unto Alicent both a blessing and a curse-- she is a child again and Rhaenyra is alive, an alpha, and it only seems to torture her more.

    Summary

    And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

     

    Alicent Hightower is a widow looking to get the hell out of the small town she's found herself trapped in since the death of her husband, yearning to see her brother in California. Behold, a stranger rides in on a pale horse—a dangerous outlaw, presumed dead and out for revenge, Rhaenyra Targaryen. Or, like most out west call her, Death herself.

    Upon discovering the real identity of the lowlaying outlaw, Alicent makes her a deal. Rhaenyra will escort her to California and Alicent will secure her cover as a man by pretending to be her wife.
