    Summary

    For the briefest moment, Alicent had felt warm. Alive in her own body. Like pulling back a curtain ever so slightly and seeing a brilliant sliver of light cut through the dark. Knowing that there is more, that beyond the curtain, there is a sky of brilliant light just waiting to be revealed—

    It is hope. A terrible thing. So distressingly fragile, spinning into a thousand delicate possibilities. The possibility of more clasped hands, more kind words. Rhaenyra, back in her life. Not an enemy, not at odds with her. Maybe… maybe impish Rhaenyra, stealing her books. Telling her about Old Valyria. Her dearest friend. A light beyond the curtain.

    OR

    What happens when D'Cooke's vision of Rhaenicent ruling together inspires a 180k fix-it. Canon-divergence starts from s1e8. Instead of dying and ruining everything, Vizzy does everyone in Westeros a solid and hangs in there long enough for our ladies to reconcile and prepare to co-queen. Alternating POVs with dual POVs for the first and final chapters. If there are specific TWs for a chapter I will include them in the AN.

    Summary

    You’re not meant to rule.

    No, you’re meant to be a cautionary tale—to be the example, like your uncle before you. You’re the uncontrolled brightness of a pyre left to burn itself out. You’re contained only by altering everything around you—clearing the brush, stacking the rocks, arranging the sticks, and keeping far away from the inciting spark. The consuming blaze.

    You’re overlooked, overseen, and underestimated—the Realm’s Delight, the Rogue Princess, the only thing worse than a second son. A firstborn daughter.

    .

    or; baelon lives, and rhaenyra tries a little harder at being a knight, that includes wooing her lady love.

    Summary

    Michaela Stirling returns from four years in India to find the life she fled exactly where she left it, John's ghost in every corridor, and Francesca at the top of the stairs.

    She had told herself the distance had taught her restraint. That she could stand in the same room as Francesca Bridgerton and call herself only a friend. That four years and an ocean were enough to make loving someone bearable.

    She had been wrong on all counts.

    Or

    michaela and francesca spend several chapters inventing new ways to avoid admitting the obvious.

    Summary

    Takes place immediately after my other story, A Garden-Variety Killer. Jane and Maura are assigned a new and weird murder at the same time they're navigating the beginning of their romantic relationship.

    Canon compliant with the first two seasons and after that I'm just doing whatever I want.

    It's got murder, it's got semi-rigorously researched medical nonsense, and it's gonna have a bunch of sex.
