Summary
The war ends.
There is no true decisive victory, no glorious march through the streets. Instead, there are countless dead and castles burned, the Seven Kingdoms torn asunder.
A peace is struck. A marriage is arranged to unite the broken factions once more.
The Dowager Queen will wed the Black Queen, and the realm will try to heal.

Summary
Newly widowed King Viserys I, with only a young beta daughter to his name, fears for the future of the dwindling House of the Dragon. In order to secure the succession, he calls upon all the great lords of Westeros to finally bend the knee to his younger alpha brother, the Rogue Prince Daemon, as the official Heir to the Iron Throne.
Less than a moon later, young Princess Rhaenyra presents as an alpha.

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 Gwayne Hightower's defence, he had good intentions.
In Alicent Hightower's defence, she had very limited information.
In Rhaenyra Targaryen's defence, she has never in her life been so insulted, and she once sat through a four hour board meeting about paper clips.
Nobody comes out of this looking particularly good. Except Gwayne, who has decided he's a genius and cannot be talked out of it.

Summary
Rhaenyra has had just about enough of her cousin Laena setting her up on blind dates with her friends.
The latest of them, a date with one of Laena’s University friends Alicent, certainly won’t be any different to the others.
Will it?

Summary
Alicent Hightower had not heard her own name spoken aloud for seven years. She felt, frequently, that Alicent, that girl who entered the Missionaries of the Mother at seventeen was dead. Only Sister Philomena remained. That was how she had been addressed ever since she passed her first year of aspirancy and postulancy and became a novice, donning the slate-colored robes that covered her body from head to toe and taking her first vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. At twenty-five, she was preparing to take her final, permanent vows.
And in 25 years, her unshakeable faith had not been tested like it was at that moment.

Summary
Alicent arrives at court at the age of six and ten, with only one thought in mind: she will be queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
It won’t be an easy task, her father tells her. King Viserys, only a decade older than Alicent herself, remains wholly reluctant to remarry. He already has an heir, he insists, and has no need to find a new wife. Princess Rhaenyra, a girl of seven, is her father’s darling only child, and heir to his throne.
Alicent is certain she'll convince him otherwise. But then again, things rarely go the way one plans.

Summary
It’s a downright demeaning way to live, she inherently knows this. Alicent used to think one day she would let the guilt get the best of her and end this thing between them before it even really got started, but she’s come to realize over the last few months how weak she is.
It makes her feel dizzy to realize how afraid she is, and how despite that fear, she does it anyway. Gives in time and time again, like Rhaenyra is not a spoiled brat and instead some undeniable force of nature.
(Or, where time and time again Rhaenyra proves she is far from being scrupulous to get what she wants, and time and time again Alicent proves she can’t deny what she undeniably wants.)

Summary
She had been having a lovely time. That was the thing.
It was just, apparently — she could also be having this.
Like she'd been ordering off one half of a menu her whole life, satisfied, no complaints, and somebody had just casually flipped it over to show her the other side. She was, as she discovered in real time, extremely into the other side of the menu.
What the fuck have I been doing, she thought. She could really get behind this girl kissing business.or
in which Rhaenyra Targaryen realizes she's bisexual against a hedge at her cousin's party, discovers the girl she was kissing bears a suspicious resemblance to her best friend, and decides to simply not think about the implications until Alicent, who's been thinking of it since they were twelve, confesses first.

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
When Rhaenyra Targaryen is called in for the time travel equivalent of jury duty, she's surprised to find that her best friend, Alicent Hightower, has also been summoned. The two are tasked with traveling into the past of a timeline parallel to their own and living their lives over again, supposedly for the greater good of humankind. The mission is further complicated by hard truths about their youth and their progressively confusing feelings about each other.

Summary
Rhaenyra’s chuckle is thin, reedy. Her next kiss against Alicent’s hair has something desperate. There’s a thread between them, close to snapping.
Alicent, who is a problem-solver and also (still fascinating, that) the brave one between them, raises her head. She looks into Rhaenyra’s face. Fireworks up ahead again: blue-green-red-yellow, jewel-tones. Laena’s laugh, Rhaenyra’s eyes blown wide, the greyish purple of steel, of chrome, and, absurdly, of pigeon-breasts.

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.
