Summary
“What’s she like?”
Alicent sighs. “I do not know. We were friends many years ago.”
At least, Alicent likes to think they were friends. But the princess was always sporadic with her attentions— quick to grow bored of things, discarding the old in favor of the new. Alicent supposes that’s what happened to her, as well. She had written letters, those first few moons after she returned to Oldtown.
The princess never responded.
—
The king is seeking a husband for his omega daughter, so countless lords send their sons to vie for the hand of the future queen.
Alicent is not a son. She is not a knight. Her presentation was surely a mistake, one that’s cost her everything. Now she is her brother’s squire, accompanying him to King’s Landing as he competes for the princess's hand.

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
“And for the record, Doctor, I don’t have hubris. Case in point— I’m fairly certain I’m going to be eaten by a dinosaur in the next twenty-four hours.”
“Twenty-four hours is generous, considering your proclivity for stupidity,” Alicent scoffs.
Something sounds in the distance. Either thunder, or something roaring. Something big.
Rhaenyra crosses her arms childishly. “You know, I’ve changed my mind. I don’t think I want us to be friends.”
Alicent rolls her eyes. “Really? Suddenly my day has taken a turn for the better.”
Dr. Alicent Hightower is an introverted paleontologist desperate for more funding. When an eccentric billionaire promises near unlimited resources, on the sole condition that she consult on his secretive island project, she knows she’d be a fool to refuse.
She doesn’t expect dinosaurs. Real, living dinosaurs.
She also doesn’t expect to find herself stranded with said billionaire’s insufferable daughter.

Summary
“Could you…”
Sue motioned to the back of her dress, where she hadn’t been able to reach the top buttons.
Emily simply nodded as Sue turned around, finding her best friend’s image in the mirror in front of them. She watched as Emily delicately traced the edge of her dress with her fingers. She pretended not to notice Emily’s quick intake of breath when those fingers brushed against her skin, just as she pretended not to feel the goosebumps they left in their wake.
It wasn’t a new sensation, anyway.
