Summary
“As you know, I cannot fulfill the duties of a wife in marriage. The septons have conferred and given that I require a lady to continue the royal lineage, they have agreed it is acceptable within the Faith,” Rhaenyra explained as she paced in circles around Alicent. “After all, the Stranger is man and woman both.”
Hearing Rhaenyra cite that particular bit of scripture quieted the knot of concern in her chest, if not unraveling it. “But you could do that, l-lay with me to make a babe?”
“If you would have me.”
Rhaenyra and Alicent embark on a shared life together and must navigate the expectations of a royal marriage.

Summary
“God, darling.” Rhaenyra chuckled. “You’re a mess.”
Alicent tried to chuckle, but her voice cracked. “Yeah, Gods. I’m so sorry, I’m so awkward.”
Rhaenyra paused then, her eyes lapping Alicent’s face, searching for her eyes.
“I like the awkwardness. It’s cute.”
Alicent’s brows knitted gently, her eyes meeting Rhaenyra’s.

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?

"I thought you could go to her and offer her comfort."
"In her chambers…? I… I wouldn't know what to say…”

Summary
Alicent Hightower comes home to find her fiancé in bed with another woman.
When Rhaenyra opens her door that night, there she is, mascara ruined with betrayal burning in her eyes.
And Rhaenyra does the only thing she can, and pulls her inside.
The problem?
Rhaenyra has been desperately in love with Alicent for the past two decades of their lives. It's a secret she planned to take to her grave, choosing to hide behind friendship and constantly convincing herself that this is enough. It's simple really. All she has to do is keep her mouth shut, be a loyal best friend, and never let her true feelings ruin what they have.
But when Alicent kisses her.
All of Rhaenyra's carefully constructed plans go flying out the window.
