Summary
There’s a silence when Natasha turns back around, the two of them laying on their sides and staring at each other. They have done this hundreds of times before; perhaps that’s why it feels so strange now. So much time has passed, so many things have changed, but they are still here. Their childhood is so far away now, an entire lifetime ago, but they still made it back to each other.
It is bittersweet, Yelena thinks, but perhaps more sweet than bitter. Yelena will never be able to return to the time where the scariest thing in her life was the boogeyman who her big sister would protect her from. Time has passed, and Yelena has grown into the monster under the bed; her big sister is still here, though. Her big sister still protects her.
The first few months Yelena was in the Red Room, all she wanted was this. She doesn’t think she ever grew out of the need for her big sister, despite the years that passed. Now she has her big sister back, and she doesn’t want to let go.
or: yelena has a nightmare, and seeks out her big sister

Summary
Her desperate swing makes the rock connect with his temple. A harsh strike to that vulnerable spot that has felled so many larger men before him. Alicent hears a sickening crunch before the man looming over her crumples to the floor at her feet.
Shock grips her by the throat as she looks down. Eyes widening as she stares in alarm at the ever-expanding pool of blood spreading beneath his still form. The wound in his head is bleeding profusely. (Is he–is he dead?) Her breathing stutters out of constricted lungs, her heart races as the realization catches up to her: she killed somebody.
Or:
What if Alicent had killed Lord Jasper? An alternate take on the Fall of King’s Landing.Bookmarked by rhaenissance

Summary
It was fragmented magic, pieced together by the folly of their youth, forged in blood, then bound by Syrax’s dragonfire. To make sense of this, only the eternal fire can be the cause. The fire before even the Old Gods spoke life into man. It is the blood of the dragon that creates a life worth living it whispered, and it would seem that such eternal fire wished for their children, hers’ and Alicent’s both, to share the same blood.
If Alicent’s Gods were to be believed, Rhaenyra is sure they would smite her where she stands.
Or,
As children Rhaenyra and Alicent perform a soul binding ritual and unknowingly end up having a big ole fucked up family.

Summary
“What was that?” Yelena whispered, releasing her wrist as if it burned, and a barbed spike of fear lanced through Kate like a harpoon.
Kate fell back against the elevator panel, haphazardly pushing buttons with her body as she tried to maintain her balance. Unable to break Yelena’s gaze, she mumbled back, “I don’t know.”
But she did.

Summary
“So you rescued him.”
“More like I stole him?” Kate winced. “Kidnapped. Dognapped? Um. I saw him around before; I’m pretty sure one of the mobsters took care of him sometimes, though he obviously wasn’t doing a very good job about it.”
Yelena blinked, opening her mouth, then closing it again as she took a moment to process what she had just heard. “You stole a dog.”
“Technically? It depends a little on your definition of stealing, I suppose.”
Or
Kate rescues Lucky and brings him to the animal shelter to see if anyone is looking for a lost dog before taking him home. Yelena is a volunteer at the shelter.

Summary
If one did not watch Michaela closely, nothing would have seemed amiss. She smiled, as always, mirthful, as always; but Francesca was watching closely, and she saw that smile freeze, for just half a second, and then suddenly, like a jam jar coming loose after half an hour’s effort, Francesca understood.
“An innate indifference,” she said, “to men.”

Summary
"What are you doing?" Rhaenyra asks from her spot on the couch behind her.
The smirk that frames her face is only there because she has her back turned. "I'm… warming my hands by the fire?"
"Alicent." she warns.
"Hmmm?"
"Don’t piss me off."
Or Alicent uses her wife as a personal heater while they cuddle on the couch and attempt to kick off the spooky season with a scary movie.

Summary
“Morning,” Rhaenyra murmured, voice rough with sleep. “You’re loud for someone trying to sneak away.”
Alicent almost dropped dead on the spot.
“I’m not-- I’m just-- you have to go.”
Rhaenyra propped herself on one elbow, the picture of sin trying to lounge. “Do I?”
“Yes,” Alicent hissed, waving a frantic hand at her. “My daughter will be here in...” she glanced at the clock “--fifteen minutes.”
That got her attention, but not in the way Alicent hoped.
Rhaenyra’s smile only deepened. “Oh. You’re a mother.”
Alicent swore she was allowed one night of bad decisions.
She did not plan for the babysitter to drop her toddler off at 8:00 AM after said night.Or for the woman she definitely shouldn’t have slept with to still be naked in her bed.

Summary
In fifteen years of marriage, Alicent has never met her stepdaughter Rhaenyra - the daughter her husband Viserys cherished more than he ever did his other children. But the evasive Rhaenyra eventually resurfaces - during Viserys' funeral.
As Alicent tries to navigate her new life as a widowed mother, she also tries to navigate her new and strange relationship to the walking mystery that is Rhaenyra. Family, strangers, friends, enemies: what are they to one another? What could they be?
Maybe things could go well, if only Viserys - dead as he might be - didn't manage to ruin it all from beyond the grave.OR: a meet-cute at a funeral, followed by a tense legal dispute about Viserys' freakin' will (because isn't that the modern-day equivalent to what happened in the show?)

Summary
Glancing over at Yelena, she is still reading whatever was sent to her. “What is it?”
Those green eyes flicker over towards Kate then, just as Yelena turns her phone away so Kate can't read it. “What does yours say?”
Kate shrugs, “you know, details about a thing…might be the same as your thing.”
“Maybe.” Yelena maintains eye contact and Kate finds herself getting lost again. Wanting to push and tease, to wipe that growing smirk off of Yelena’s mouth with her own. “Ava can be very detail oriented when she wants to be.”
“Yeah, yeah same…Kamala, details as big as the fists she can make, you know?”
Yelena shakes her head. “I don’t know that, actually. She doesn’t speak to me much.”
“Yeah you kind of intimidate her.”
“Good.”

Of all the places Yelena imagined finding a girlfriend, the dumpsters behind her building were, for some reason, the last place she’d ever think to look. But hey, at least now she can finally get her mother to stop asking why she's still single.

Kate is a vigilante with too many injuries to count. Yelena is a former assassin with some questionable first aid skills—that’s almost the same as a doctor, right?

Summary
It’s a stormy day in London. Alicent likes when it’s overcast—it makes going outside during the day a little bit easier. In her age, the sun had grown less harsh, but it is not entirely without its bite. She stands now in the pouring rain of the early dusk of winter, a black umbrella shielding her from the water as she stands outside of the church gates. She used to avoid this place. It reminded her too much of being human. The thought of being human used to hurt more. Now, it feels more like… yearning.
Alicent has been a vampire for over two-hundred years. Thirty years prior to now, she swore she would never taste another drop of human blood. Her oath had never been tempted, never come close to breaking. Until she meets Rhaenyra Targaryen in an empty church after dark.
