Summary
alicent hightower grew up watching princess rhaenyra targaryen of valyria from a distance; through headlines, scandals, and her head-of-the-global-council father's word-of-mouth. in adulthood, she's assigned to oversee the peaceful transition of power in valyria to find that rhaenyra targaryen is precisely as intractable as the media and her father promised—
and far, far more dangerous to the order alicent has built her entire life around.
(or; a modern royalty au with political optics, assassinations, absolutely no geographical accuracy, and a doomed sense of professionalism)

Summary
They don't have a word for it, maybe they would if they properly spoke about it, or acknowledged it.
How some nights Vi falls into Caitlyn's bed and doesn't leave until sunrise, their limbs pressed so tightly together it's hard to tell when one starts and the other stops.
It's just casual, and Vi is fine with it. Until she isn't.

Summary
Vi is the head barista and part-time manager of The Last Drop, a coffee shop and café in Piltover. Caitlyn is a coffee-loving PhD student at the nearby university who spends every weekday working from her favorite table at The Last Drop. Despite an obvious attraction, the two women are immediately at odds with each other the moment their paths cross. Over time, they'll navigate past their differences and form a unique arrangement.
This is an enemies to friends with benefits to lovers arc set in a modern coffee shop/café AU. I am writing it specifically at the request of my wife, who has a thing for barista-centric fanfics and loves Caitlyn/Vi. Chapter titles are quotes from Arcane.
B, I love you so much. This is first-and-foremost for you.

Summary
“No, I’m only joking, it would absolutely be a date, yeah. You’re just so fascinating, I want to pick your brain apart with like… an ice pick or something.”
“A lobotomy, you are describing a lobotomy,” Alicent murmurs.
Alicent is the Director of Communications for the Vice President. Rhaenyra serves as the White House Liaison to the President. Which means they see each other every day. Something that would not be a problem at all—if not for the fact that Alicent absolutely hates Rhaenyra's guts.

Summary
A series of flashes in her mind: Rhaenyra’s head in her lap under the weirwood tree, her crystalline eyes alight. Syrax, saddled for two, soaring across the Narrow Sea to worlds unknown. The ripped page she still keeps locked away in her chambers, alongside a piece of her heart.
Alicent can no longer afford to cling to Rhaenyra’s words like a promise. Yet after the longest of winters, there’s something addictive about the possibility of being consumed by dragonfire.
or, Rhaenyra returns on dragonback. Alicent feels her presence like the rising sun. Post-1x08.

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
Alicent Hightower is at loss regarding her generation's use of technology and deeply convinced that social media has melted people's brains. Aged thirty-five, divorced, and a newly revealed lesbian who has yet to be offered any true experience in that world, she refuses to hold a device in her hand for more than a Sunday phone call to her father or a check-up on her son's wanderings, and even less to pursue women.
A promise that is soon broken when, after decades of weirdly charged friendship, she is introduced to Rhaenyra’s Instagram page - and to her great misery, to Rhaenyra's daily (and revealing) gym updates.
or,
Alicent finds out that Rhaenyra has been getting unfairly muscular, and wonders why that is of any interest to her.

Summary
“You want me as the handler?” Alicent isn’t so surprised. A little disappointed maybe but she’d assumed they might want to ease her back in before putting her into the field with direct contact with targets again.
Harrold quirks his mouth. “Case officer actually. You're moving up in the world, Hightower. No direct interaction with Cole but you’ll oversee a small team there and you’ll be working directly with the asset to bring her in. Someone you know actually.”
“Thank you, Sir. I’m grateful for the opportunity. Who is the asset?”
He slides a file over. Alicent opens it. The first page has three photos on it. Her eyes shoot immediately to the third photo.
Oh Gods.
Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Summary
There’s a lot to be said for a quiet and comfortable life, filled with routines and spotless surfaces.
History professor Alicent Hightower has it, treasures it, spent her whole life working her ass of for it.
But then her father goes ahead and dies, ripping at old wounds from a childhood she likes to pretend she’s healed from, and before she can try to pick herself up again, a force of nature named Rhaenyra Targaryen barrels into her life as her new teachers assistant.
The result? A fast-forming, bordering on codependent friendship, a painful fallout of sorts and life lessons about hurt, longing and working through frustration with someone’s more-than-willing head between your thighs.
There’s a lot to be said for that, too, in the end.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler was lying down on the railroad tracks.
That was weird for a lot of reasons, besides the obvious one. It was weird for Robin to see anybody out here at all. It was weird to see Nancy Wheeler anywhere but school. She was born for school, Robin thought. Their school didn't have a uniform but Nancy practically wore one anyway, every day a different pastel cardigan and a skirt landing appropriately below her un-skinned knees. White socks and mary janes. She was wearing jeans and a red corduroy jacket now, though. Sneakers. Her hair was pulled back off her face and she was lying down on the train tracks with her eyes closed.
It was weird.
or
4 times the train didn't come, and 1 time it did.

Summary
The thought is an offhanded one, with little meaning deliberately thrown behind it: “I think I’m bad at being a human.”
She doesn’t learn until the next day that words spiral into bigger things, that snowballs gain mass as they tumble down hills. When she enters the kitchen, she finds Gloria at the counter, poring over a sheet of notebook paper with Sasha at her side.
“Great timing,” announces Gloria.
“We’ve compiled a list,” Sasha chimes in. “Thirty different activities that’ll help you feel more human. And counting.”

"What, do you think me and Steve are dating or something?" Robin asks.
"You aren't?" Nancy furrows her brow. It's kind of cute, would be cute, if Nancy was actually a nice person.
"No, god, why does everybody think that?" Robin mutters.
"Um, because he totally has a crush on you?" Nancy says it like it's obvious.

“I need you to marry me.”
Robin laughs. Hand-to-God starts giggling right in Nancy’s face like Nancy’s just said the funniest joke in the world. But when she realizes Nancy’s not laughing, too, her face falls in shock. “Wait, what?”
“Robin,” Nancy stresses. “They’re going to deport me. Unless I… unless we get married. So, I need you to marry me.”
Robin gapes at her.
“Please,” Nancy tacks on.

Summary
"You shouldn't leave your window unlocked."
Nancy's voice. Soft and strange, admonishing out of habit but nervous too, like she knew she was out of place, like she was uncertain of her authority here, in a room she'd never been in before.
"If Vecna comes after me I don't think he's coming through the window," Robin joked. It came out rough, she was barely awake and entirely confused. Nancy Wheeler was sitting on her bed. She thanked the darkness for hiding the fact that her sheets had Ninja Turtles on them. "What's going on?"
