Summary
The issue Alicent has with Rhaenyra’s ego is simple—as a driver and a mechanic they have two very different jobs. Alicent’s job is to understand Rhaenyra’s relationship to the car and how it affects the build. Then, she has to accommodate. Alicent is always watching. Every turn of the wheel, every crash, every race start, every press of the pedal, Alicent is watching. It’s her job to count the flecks of rubber flying off the tyres at 360 KM/H. Rhaenyra, despite this, thinks she knows every fucking thing there is to know about her car. Alicent knows you can only see so much from inside. That’s something Rhaenyra refuses to understand.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most outstanding drivers in the world, with three F1 championships to her name and another season just kicking off. Alicent Hightower is the woman behind the car itself—the Number One Mechanic. Every build goes through her from chassis up. For two years, she's been working with Ferrari—specifically on Rhaenyra's car. The only problem with this is the two of them spend most of their time in the garage trying not to bite each other's heads off.

if there really existed a F1 female driver and her #1 mechanic having a sordid affair across multiple countries and continents for many months i would be the biggest F1 fan but alas

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)

Summary
Everything about Alicent is rage inducing. The way she’s so awkward she can barely make eye contact, the way her hands shake when they’re together in the same room, the way she looks at Rhaenyra like she’s the first person she’s seen in years. Oh, yeah, and the way she locked her in a freezing underground bunker.

Summary
"Chloe fills up all of the spaces inside her that she didn’t even know existed until Chloe was there."
orrrrr the one where it takes a fake-engagement and being domestic as hell for these two idiots to realize they're in love. Set two years after PP2 and mostly canon compliant. Title taken from Vance Joy's "Mess is Mine"
