    Summary

    And even if getting Rhaenyra in as a soloist was a staggering show of nepotism, she was still the best concert pianist on the planet. It was like when Dmitri Junior recorded Shostakovich’s second. You could get mad about it for a bit, but it was ultimately fair game. Alicent had already reached all these conclusions because Viserys had spoken to her weeks ago about programming the Concerto, which only had the unwanted effect of giving her time to turn it over in her brain like a particularly nauseating Rubix cube. Each solution of the puzzle led her to the same conclusion: she would be seeing Rhaenyra imminently, and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do about it.

     

    After ten years apart, Rhaenyra Targaryen re-enters Alicent's life for a set of solo engagements with her orchestra. Things go about as well as expected (not very).

    Summary

    “She won’t even admit that she’s gay for a New York City Ballet dancer. You think she would go for you, Rio Vidal of Cobb, Oklahoma?” Jenn raises an eyebrow, “IT service provider who plays Elden Ring in her spare time.”

    “Maybe.” Chirps Rio. Hope does, after all, spring eternal.

    Or,

    Rio goes from IT service monkey to fucking her very beautiful, very poised boss in a very short period of time. And then, of course, there’s the aftermath.

    Summary

    "Eloise did not dream of white knights on trusty steeds or gallant princes from faraway lands come to whisk her off to a castle that might as well be a jail cell. Once she might have dreamt of a handsome printer’s assistant in a grubby print shop. Once she might have dreamt of the smell of rose water on skin and the sound of a tinkling laugh that delighted in everything she said. Now she dreamed only of freedom."

    In which Eloise is an unsatisfied spinster and travels to Wales to meet a friend.

    Summary

    “Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”

    Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”

    “And the Queen.”

    The smile drops from her face.

     

    OR

    [Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.

    (the bed-sharing fix-it that wonders if dragon blood really runs that hot)
