Upcoming Fic for December:
Last Christmas
Summary: Last Christmas Alicent Hightower gave Rhaenyra Targaryen her heart, but the very next day everything fell apart. This year to save herself from tears, Alicent vows to avoid her at their family's Christmas vacation. She'll bear it for her children. It's only a week after all. With aggressive snowball fights, meddling in-laws, Christmas tree decorating, matching pajamas, and hanging mistletoe will Alicent keep her vow? Or will her heart be broken again?
You and I have been together for hundreds of years, we will be together for hundreds more. Everything comes to an end but not us, not our love.
Story Idea: Interview With The Vampire AU Rhaenicent A journalist is approached by a woman claiming to be a vampire. Being down on her luck in terms of assignments, she takes it on. The "vampire" is reserved but blunt in her recounting of her life. As the night passes, the vampire weaves the tale of betrayal, sadness, tragedy, and the love/hate relationship she shares with the one who turned her into a vampire.
(I’ll probably write a few scenes of this idea but not a full-blown story)
Howl's Moving Castle Rhaenicent AU
The woman was there briefly for seconds, her arm reached out as she yelled out to find her in the future. She was only there for the quickest of moments, but Rhaenyra never forgot her face or her words. While in a small town one day, she saw her again. Rhaenyra smirked. She'd found her.
I think of these two quotes too often and the implication of searching for someone you only met once but know will become important in your life. I swear I'm so normal about this
When one grasps power, they tend to attempt to hold onto it. There are those, however, who when they grasp power tighten their grip. They lie, cheat, bribe, and kill for power. They are called the Borgias.
The Hightowers as The Borgias
The corrupt and power-hungry head of the family, Otto Hightower. The ambitious soldier, Gwayne whose appetite for war was unlike any other. The beautiful but conniving Alicent whose marriages served furthered her family's power.
“Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave”- Labyrinth (1986)
Rhaenyra couldn’t stand her baby half brother Aegon and offers him to the Goblin Queen. She regrets her decision when Aegon does in fact disappear. Rhaenyra is then visited by the Goblin Queen Alicent, who informs her the only way to get him back is to cross her labyrinth in thirteen hours. Rhaenyra accepts but as she treads the dangerous labyrinth she begins to realize Alicent may have other intentions in luring her to the goblin world.
Not a fic just for one of my friends whose a fan of the movie Labyrinth 💕💕💕
Moodboard for my current fic.
A Continuation of A Targaryen Type of Madness.
"You do not get to pick and choose whichever dragon you fancy. A dragon does not bend their will lightly. You can try to claim a dragon, however, in return, the dragon must choose you.”
Moodboard based on Chapter 4: The Red Sowing
Alicent Hightower lives with her aunt in Queens, New York. Ever since her brother, Gwayne, moved out for college, Alicent was sure she would follow him his footsteps. Everything was great, she got an internship at the Daily Bugle and was acing all her classes, then her uncle, Ormund, died. Now she can't let the same thing happen to anyone else. It seems it was fate that the spider bit her that day.
Spiderwoman: Secret Identity Alicent Hightower
Rhaenyra Targaryen lives with her single father in New York City. While being the daughter of a police officer is not always easy, it has its perks which include being treated like a princess by the NYPD. Rhaenyra just hopes to have a good school year, maybe join a band to show off her drumming skills, or perhaps take up ballet again. The only thing is she's been feeling a bit off since some spider bit her. But it shouldn't be anything important.
Ghost Spider: Secret Identity Rhaenyra Targaryen
"Who are you?" "Spiderwoman. And you?" "Ghost Spider." "Either you stole my style or something happened with a radioactive spider, I don't know which I prefer."
Dragon Shifter Rhaenicent AU
Alicent Hightower had always found dragons terrifying. While they tended to stay on their isolated island of Dragonstone, occasionally one would see the creatures flying around. Her father warned her to be careful when that happened. Filling her with stories of dragons snatching pretty girls and forcing them to be their brides. When a yellow dragon began appearing near her garden, Alicent worried about its intentions. After months, however, the beast didn't do anything. The creature made no attempts to get closer to her yet coincidentally always arrived when she was there. The fear died down, perhaps this one was different.
Rhaenyra Targaryen wasn't human. She was a dragon. A creature made of fire. Yet she always found humans fascinating. When she was younger, she would take off flying and watch the humans from afar. One in particular caught her eye. Rhaenyra loved hearing Alicent read her books in the garden and eventually, it became a regular occasion to visit the human. As the years went by, Rhaenyra stopped visiting. Her father warned her about getting too close to humans. But she decided to disobey his words one day, only to find him surveying Alicent's garden. The look in his eye was one she had seen before. He found a treasure he liked. Her blood boiled. Dragons were possessive creatures and she knew she was no better. Alicent was hers. She refused to let her father wisk her away and marry her. Instead, she acted quickly and took her for herself.
I've got all the power No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer No, I don't play, I puppeteer

My Babysitter's a Vampire HOTD AU
Jace has visions of a future soon to come. His brother Luke has the ability to cast spells. The shy kid at school, Aemond, suddenly becomes more outgoing and confident. One of his friends, Aegon, seems to be more energetic than usual. Jace is also ninety percent sure that his little brother Joffrey's babysitter is a vampire.
Had this idea in my head for days. Still don't know who would be Sarah🤔
What the Queens in my fic "A Targaryen Type of Madness" would do if they lived in the modern era
Rhaenyra Targaryen
After the toxic relationships she's had, Rhaenyra decided to take a step back and focus on being alone for a while. She focuses on her career as a business CEO and being there for her children. Robb would act as a father figure to her and convince her to work on herself for a while. She followed his advice, developing a a hobby as an amauter historian on Old Valyria. Criston and her are close friends, grabbing a drink from the pub every now and again.
Alicent Hightower
Intially not wanting to divorce, Alicent was evenutally persuaded by friends that her marriage wasn't healthy for her or her children. Despite still holding feelings for her ex, she spends her time and energy on her children. She works as a lawyer due to her driven and somewhat calculating nature. Her love of poetry has expanded to her writing full length manuscripts which Lenora has been begging for her to publish. She remains close with her brother Gwayne and visits him often with her four children.
Lenora Strong
Following her divorce, Lenora would devote her time and energy to raising her three sons. She would become a soccer mom type, always taking them to whatever clubs or extracurriculars they would sign up for. She would also spend most weekends visiting her father Lyonel and brothers, Harwin and Larys. She works as a teacher because she loves helping others and adores children. She struggles with doing things for herself and has been convinced by her friend, Alicent, to take up Zumba classes for fun.
Dyanna Tully
Following her divorce, Dyanna got remarried to Gwayne Hightower two years later. This was a slightly controversial decision in the eyes of others but she doesn't let this affect her as she was finally married to someone she loved. Given that Dyanna didn't have much work experience she bounced from job to job while keeping up with her hobby of horseback riding. Eventually, she and Gwayne bought a ranch, where she now works. She continues to raise her children and visits her nephew, Elmo Tully, as well as Lenora and Alicent, at least once a month.
Crackship ramblings incoming (nothing is coherent here)
Daemon Targaryen x Criston Cole
Hear me out...they would be fascinating to watch.
Something probably would have awakened in Daemon that day on the bridge in Dragonstone when he got Cole's name wrong and Criston gave the snarkiest little response "Perhaps my prince recalls when I knocked him off his horse." Man had to walk away from that and have a therapy session with Mysaria immediately after.
Years later, he comes back from the Stepstones after fighting for so long that when he returns and finds out Cole is Rhaenyra's knight, he feels a certain type of way.
Rhaenyra would be like "So uncle what was the Stepstones like?"
Daemon would say something like "Great, weather was nice. So does your knight ever talk about the tourney we were in? Like does he talk about any people that stood out to him or?"
It would become almost a running gag from how many times Daemon just "happens to appear" where Criston is and tries to antagonize (flirt) with him.
Would this ship have saved Westeros and prevented the dance? No. Would Joffrey Lounmouth still be alive? Yes, because Criston was too distracted being confused by Daemon trying to rizz him up at Rhaenyra's wedding.
Mama Mia! Rhaenicent AU
Don't have any story behind it, just vibes🏖️🌊👰
Rockstar and Journalist Rhaenicent AU
Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most famous singers in the world. As a seasoned rockstar, she's part of the band, House of the Dragon, with her four half-siblings. Just as she's about to embark on a country-wide tour, she is approached by a journalist named Alicent. Rhaenyra doesn't see any harm in allowing the journalist to travel with the band on their tour, after all, she might even enjoy Alicent's company.
Alicent Hightower is a journalist from an up-and-coming magazine. The world is infatuated with Rhaenyra Targaryen and she wants to get the scoop as her band gets ready to go on their biggest tour yet. She offers to travel with the rockstar while keeping a professional distance, even promising to omit any personal details Rhaenyra wouldn't like. She is ecstatic when the star agrees. She'll get her scoop and maybe might like being on the road with Rhaenyra.
It's only a few months on the road together before they part ways. Surely they can remain professional during the tour, right?
Also kind of set in the 70s

"Sweet words do not work on me, my lady. My husband tried it once and he was met with thorns rather than a rose. I rule in my son's stead which I take very seriously. I will not risk soldiers for a war that has nothing to do with us" - Lady Tyrell (Chapter 14)
During the Dance of the Dragons, Lady Tyrell as ruled as regent for her infant son, Lyonel. In the conflict, she never raised her banners for war, staying neutral in the matter. Some believed her cowardly while others believed her clever for evading the destruction that plunged the realm.
“My kiss is not worth nothing, if you wish, find me beneath the tides and in the depths.”
Rhaenicent Mermaid AU
A year ago, Princess Rhaenyra fell from her ship into the dark sea. She was the only survivor of a mermaid attack. All she remembered was drowning, her lungs filling with water. Then a kiss. The sensation of someone carrying her before her vision left her. Since that day, whenever she is beneath the water she finds herself able to breathe. She feels a connection pulling her toward the ocean. A song singing in the back of her mind. Her obsession with the man-eating creature that saved her has driven her to sail the seas in search of the elusive being. Rhaenyra feels herself falling into madness every moment they are parted or perhaps her sanity strains the closer she gets. She isn't sure anymore, but she is too far gone to care. All she knows is she must find her.
