    Summary

    “What’s she like?”

    Alicent sighs. “I do not know. We were friends many years ago.”

    At least, Alicent likes to think they were friends. But the princess was always sporadic with her attentions— quick to grow bored of things, discarding the old in favor of the new. Alicent supposes that’s what happened to her, as well. She had written letters, those first few moons after she returned to Oldtown.

    The princess never responded.

    The king is seeking a husband for his omega daughter, so countless lords send their sons to vie for the hand of the future queen.

    Alicent is not a son. She is not a knight. Her presentation was surely a mistake, one that’s cost her everything. Now she is her brother’s squire, accompanying him to King’s Landing as he competes for the princess's hand.

    Summary

    Alicent Hightower, Crownpoint University's Golden Girl is having a spectacularly bad day. A month after dumping her boyfriend, Mr. Golden Boy, Criston Cole, she spots him holding court with a new girl on his arm. Furious and desperate to prove she can move on too, she does something drastic. Something dumb ... something so unlike her and kisses the first person her eyes land on.

    Rhaenyra Targaryen is just trying to text her friends in peace. Now she’s got lip gloss on her chin, a furious star athlete glaring at her from across the quad, and the most beautiful stranger propositioning her to "play along." Now she's navigating frat parties where she doesn’t know the dress code, cheering at football games she doesn’t know the rules to, and trying to remember holding hands is strictly platonic and for public consumption only.

    Summary

    That evening, everything felt calm—almost peaceful. Queen, King, and their mother Kirin were quietly enjoying dinner.

    Until King set down his fork and knife, lifted his head, and said—casually, as if announcing the weather:

    “I’m getting married.”
    And this is how Queen’s nightmare began.

    Ai helped.

    Summary

    (my take on) What led to Sister Beatrice becoming a Sister Warrior. Focused on Beatrice’s character along season 1 from the second chapter onwards but with also mentions of the other characters. Diving deeper into Beatrice's life and thoughts in between what we saw in season 1 of Warrior Nun.

    Avatrice is also going to be heavily implied.
