    Summary

    This story began with two questions.
    Why was Alicent Hightower never quite bold enough to refuse her marriage to Viserys and stand against her father?
    And why was Daemon Targaryen never quite clever enough to expose Otto Hightower's schemes before it was too late?
    But what if they had been?
    What if Alicent chose differently?
    What if Daemon acted sooner?
    What if House Hightower and House Targaryen were bound together long before the Dance?
    After all, when fire joins with the wind, it does not burn less fiercely.
    It spreads.

    Summary

    “Alicent," he'd say, with that particular look in his eyes, the same no-nonsense, but clearly privileged to spread his own glimmer, as he'd put his hands over hers, lean in until where his chest ended and her back began became a question, and one without an answer—at least until he fixed whatever she'd done wrong with that same careless little precision that used to drive her mad with its sheer gall, intensity and most of all correctness.
    He'd then move his head downwards, until his breath was ghosting her ear—warm and smelling like that expensive scotch she'd never even be able to dream of or his imported wildly absurd cigars.
    “Keep trying, Dr. Hightower. Sooner or later. You'll get it."

    Summary

    No lessons will take when she is in this state. She has been unclaimed too long, her beauty and purpose gone wild. She must be mounted by a bold rider worthy of the gift, to direct her to the best good. He is rider of Vhagar, he took the first step of transforming himself from boy to man when he claimed her, and now comes the completion, as he protects his family with the steely will that makes him worthy of both superior mounts.

    Summary

    “Enter, Aemond.” Alicent motioned for her handmaidens to leave; she assumed Aemond was here to apologise for displaying himself at tonight’s dinner. Whenever Aemond did something that displeased her, he would come at night to beg for her forgiveness, many a time on his knees, kissing her hand. She knew how good her boy was deep down, so it always upset her to see him act so terribly.

    But, Aemond was not here to apologise. It was he who seeked an apology.

    Summary

    There were no more words left between them—no explanations, no apologies, no prayers that could ever undo what had been set in motion. The air was thick with the taste of their sin, clinging to her. Without a word, without a tremble or hesitation, she let her fingers move to the clasp of her green robe.
