Should Have Jumped (When You Told Me To) by mrdcai
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
Alicent knows she shouldn’t bite but she cannot stop her reflexive retort. “That’s rich coming from a notorious narcissist.”
She immediately regrets it, is on the verge of apologising, but Rhaenyra is quicker and out for blood now, a dangerous glint in her eye.
“Better a self-aware narcissist than a self-righteous, deluded, parasite. Tell me do they teach charlatanism at the Citadel or is that something you inherited from your father?”
(Modern Academics AU - Alicent, literature professor and noted novelist, returns to King’s Landing after a long absence to take a position at the same university where former best friend Rhaenyra is a member of the history faculty. Why did they fall out and why in the Seven are they teaching a lecture together?)

Summary
She was striking up close. Alicent could conjure no proper description; Rhaenyra had always been beautiful, but now, even in funeral blacks and half-moons hovering beneath her eyes, she was beyond that.
OR
Viserys' death brings Alicent and Rhaenyra together for the first time in two decades.

Summary
Rhaenyra schools her expression and dons a dangerous glint in her eye, “it will be fun to inject some life into her sets—won’t be passionless with me around.”
Calling Alicent’s music passionless is a stretch, considering she’s put house music on the map again, with millions of listeners on streaming platforms and a recent grammy nomination.
The interviewer adjusts his glasses, a sort of uneasy expression on his features, “if I didn’t know better, I’d think you’d heard her interview where she called your new album-“
“Barbaric?” She barks a laugh almost scarily, “yes I did.” Rhaenyra leans back, licks her lips and looks at the camera like she’s addressing someone directly. “Oh Alicent. Always so tidy, aren’t we? God forbid the bass wobble—I prefer to make a bit of a mess.”
After 5 years away from the London DJ scene to be a producer in L.A., Rhaenyra Targaryen returns to the festival circuit. Just as she’s getting settled back in, she’s chosen to co-headline one of the largest festivals in America with none other than Alicent Hightower, one of the world’s biggest names in House music and her ex best friend.

Summary
Immediately following the events of Driftmark, Rhaenyra discovers that Alicent has mysteriously transformed into a child. Can she restore her former friend to her adult self? Should she even? Perhaps more importantly, how will this change the trajectory of their bond?
Alicent, a gay baby, just wants to hang out with this really pretty and cool version of her best friend.
Aegon is really confused, Helaena is unperturbed, Aemond is in a lot of pain due to his recent enucleation, Daeron is not involved in all this, and Rhaenyra's kids are just happy that that scary knife lady is now too small to fight (or is she?)
The disgusting brothers (viserys, daemon, otto, etc.) are also there.

Summary
“Fair play,” Rhaenyra replies, “But you can’t just spend all summer wasting away here, your only friend to speak of being the 30 year old lesbian who cleans your pool.”
“That seems like something you made up just now,” Aegon responds lightly, “Rather than an actual rule.”
or,
After her mugshot makes it into the tabloids, Rhaenyra strikes a deal to keep her inheritance that involves a summer spent working at her cousin's landscaping company. This brings her to the house of delinquent teenager Aegon Hightower and his lonely, high-strung mother.

Summary
Battle maps make Alicent’s eyes cross with boredom, but Rhaenyra is a landscape she would gladly spend the rest of her life charting.
———————
Rhaenyra and Alicent can’t stop thinking about each other after their secret conversation in the Sept of Baelor. (Or: What’s a little civil war between star-crossed frenemies?)

Summary
For what it was worth, the Queen knew that this all sounded absurd. Alicent had chosen her over her own son and by all standards of common sense she should have dismissed it as a trap, as another power play orchestrated by the Greens to trick her and her family into hurtling towards assured death, eliminating their claim to the Iron Throne once and for all.
But the way Alicent had recklessly come to Dragonstone alone and defenceless knowing full-well she would most likely be captured or killed putting her life squarely in Rhaenyra’s hands. The way her voice trembled, and her big brown eyes swelled with tears as she offered Rhaenyra King’s Landing and the Throne with it. The way come with me practically tumbled out of her as a desperate, incredulous plea. All of this convinced Rhaenyra that this was no coldly calculated, pre-conceived plan.
-----------
Set after 2x08, this work explores what might happen when Rhaenyra flies to take King's Landing and Alicent discovers Aegon is missing. Unapologetic rantings about the feelings these two have for each other in my mind.

Following in her father's footsteps, Alicent Hightower has been mayor of Salisbury for four years and now is preparing for a campaign for re-election.

Now, the Hightower family and the Targaryen family must fight for the mayoralty while trying to keep their own past from bringing them down.

Summary
“Oh- oh, shit, you’re bleeding.”
Rhaenyra would’ve rolled her eyes if her head wasn’t pounding so heavily. “Yeah, I told you, you broke my-”
But it was then that her sight had finally cleared and she was able to see her bathroom companion for the first time.
Fuck.
A girl.
Like a laughably, ridiculously pretty girl, nearly half a foot shorter than Rhaenyra, with curling red hair streaming down her back. She stood right in front of her, uncomfortably close, with these big, dark eyes almost as teary as Rhaenyra’s own.
Her anger dissolved at once.
OR
You’re classic, self-indulgent college au.

Summary
Even in golden fetters, Alicent looked untouchable.
//
Framed in the doorway of her prison, Rhaenyra looked too-real. Uncanny in her vividity, like Alicent had simply looked at her face and gotten bee stings down her neck.

Summary
And even if getting Rhaenyra in as a soloist was a staggering show of nepotism, she was still the best concert pianist on the planet. It was like when Dmitri Junior recorded Shostakovich’s second. You could get mad about it for a bit, but it was ultimately fair game. Alicent had already reached all these conclusions because Viserys had spoken to her weeks ago about programming the Concerto, which only had the unwanted effect of giving her time to turn it over in her brain like a particularly nauseating Rubix cube. Each solution of the puzzle led her to the same conclusion: she would be seeing Rhaenyra imminently, and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do about it.
After ten years apart, Rhaenyra Targaryen re-enters Alicent's life for a set of solo engagements with her orchestra. Things go about as well as expected (not very).

Summary
How might Fire and Blood and The House of the Dragon have changed if Alicent Hightower made a different choice? When Rhaenyra Targaryen finds her in the Great Sept of Baelor, still wanting to find a path to piece, how will the Song of Ice and Fire shift if Alicent stays for just a few moments longer?
Basically how can these two lovesick lesbians save the realm by finally admitting their feelings? Set at the end of 'The Burning Mill' and diverges from there.

"What is it?"
"The charity is in two days."
Oh no.
"And it got me thinking," Rhaenyra continued, eyes downcast and fiddling with her cup, "everyone is always so pressed about my social image and how I go to these things alone. It doesn't help that I don't seem to have a filter around annoying people, so I was wondering if you would want to accompany me?"

Summary
Alicent was just preparing to lie down when she heard the sound of boots echoing on the stone floor, long before the door to her chamber opened. The hour was late, well past midnight, yet Rhaenyra showed no signs of weariness. In fact, she looked furious, like a real dragon.
