    Summary

    “I won the southern regional archery in 2002.”

    The skill had come in handy too. One job, a mark lashed to a beam in a disused warehouse. She used his left eye as the bull. She didn't tell Rhaenyra that.

    “Quite a portfolio.” Rhaenyra whistled low. “And did you—keep it up?”

    “I keep my hand in.”

    “I want you to know, I have no wish to find myself on your bad side. None. Not even a whisker.”

    She likes people. She finds them interesting. She also kills some of them for a living. And her new neighbor is about to make things complicated.

    Summary

    With the candles lit low, the room holds the hallowed glow of the sept. It is furnished magnificently - all the finest silks and table settings. Soon, Rhaenyra will sit at the high table, all in white. She will take Ser Laenor’s hand, take his oath, take him abed.

    Alicent is glad she will never see it.

    Or: Alicent decides to run a lot sooner.

    Summary

    EDIT: Rewritten as [In the Embers] - go read that instead

    Once, in another life, Rhaenyra had promised to return on dragonback, for her, and for a few short hours the world had been different, brighter, a terrible future held at bay. She remembered that bright hope, tried to find its like again now, to chase the dark away.

    (A post Season 2 continuation of the Dance focusing on Alicent and Rhaenyra. Starts after the Fish Feed and covers Rhaenyra’s reign up to the fall of King’s Landing.)

    Summary

    alicent hightower grew up watching princess rhaenyra targaryen of valyria from a distance; through headlines, scandals, and her head-of-the-global-council father's word-of-mouth. in adulthood, she's assigned to oversee the peaceful transition of power in valyria to find that rhaenyra targaryen is precisely as intractable as the media and her father promised—

    and far, far more dangerous to the order alicent has built her entire life around.

    (or; a modern royalty au with political optics, assassinations, absolutely no geographical accuracy, and a doomed sense of professionalism)
