    Summary

    Lexi replies, “I’m here as a client.”

    Fez’s expression shutters, and he studies her with a carefully blank gaze. “A client,” he repeats, like he’s making sure, surveying her from head to toe. It should make her uncomfortable, shifty on her feet; it just makes her kind of singe and burn with desire, as always. “This ain’t the fuckin’ stationery store.”

    “I’ve been here before, Fezco,” she says, rolling her eyes. “But this time it’s different. I’m here to get something and leave, like everyone else does.”

    “Somethin’ like what?”

    “Adderall.”

    He mouths the word to himself, his lips moving silently (and Lexi wants to kiss him. Wants to know what his mouth feels like against her skin, what words he would whisper into her neck—). Then, “Fuck.”

    “I have the money,” says Lexi, even though she knows that’s not the issue at all. It’s more how Fez is looking at her like she’s something he’s already mourning.

    or, lexi's a private school girl, and everybody knows private school girls are bad (but she's pretty sure none of them fall in love with their drug dealers).

    Summary

    Alicent sobs again, the latter half of it bitter and choked as she tries to retain control of herself. “You’ll hate me, Rhaenyra. If you were half wise you’d have my head on a spike.”

    Rhaenyra laughs, Alicent still leaning against her, and Rhaenyra’s voice takes on as much sincerity as she can muster. “I’m not sure I know how to hate you.”

    Summary

    When Aegon had first laid eyes on Margaery, five years past, he took comfort in that she was exactly what a Queen should look like, though she could not be the wife he wished for. They understood one another, they had built their marriage upon a strong and honest friendship - his lady wife had always known what she could expect from him, what she could not, and he understood much the same about her. Aegon treasured her, even if he could not convince himself to love her as much as he should.

    Not when Sansa was always around for comparison. When Aegon had placed her at every corner for comparison. He thought he only tormented himself this way. The notion that he tormented Sansa as well was… inconceivable.

    Unimaginable.

    Unforgivable.
