Summary
“If it is forgiveness you seek for killing my father, you will not find it here,” Alicent says over a scoff, over a nasty sound.
Her daughter sleeps behind her in a cot thin as parchment. Her father’s blood seems still beneath her nails though she has not touched him. The city outside groans under its new queen, Aegon has fled, Aemond has taken Harrenhal, and yet Rhaenyra stands in her stripped room, crownless and terrible, asking for judgment as though Alicent has any right to give it.
Perhaps she does; and perhaps that is the final cruelty.
tldr: the one where they slowly reshape the future of Rhaenyra’s reign, mend what has been broken, and rebuild their own family from the ruins. the slowest of burns, really.

Summary
In a last ditch attempt to avoid war after Viserys's death, Alicent visits Rhaenyra with a plot to put her on the Throne. With Rhaenyra's family living at the Red Keep again, they are forced to face their past and find a way forward.
“Two days ago we had dinner together, as a family. And although the children bickered, I could not help but—,” her voice caught in her throat, “—but hope that we could yet repair things.” When Alicent said we, Rhaenyra knew she meant just them. “A day after that, and we were on the brink of war.” She looked up, and Rhaenyra was surprised to see familiar damp eyes. “I’m tired, Rhaenyra. I am very tired. I am tired of forcing my children into roles they do not want. I am tired of fighting for a power I never cared for. And I am exhausted, Rhaenyra, of hating you.”
(Title is from the song "Labour," by Paris Paloma)
