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)

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.

Summary
Alicent holds her eye contact for a moment longer and follows with “You didn’t tell me you were going to cut it”. Again with the haircut. She shifts her focus with the shirt in her hands.
“Didn’t know I was. Just woke up one morning and got sick of myself,” Rhaenyra replied, “You should try being spontaneous,” she said after a beat. “It suits you.”
“I am spontaneous,” Alicent said, sitting up indignantly.
“You schedule your spontaneity.”
