    Summary

    " “I…” How can she explain? How can she get out anything that she wished to convey? She had done so much and held so many regrets. Prayer and hope for absolution with the gods scarcely stood against the tidal wave of her transgressions by now, “I did.” It was all she could say.

    Rhaenyra’s breath hitched almost unnoticeably, but Alicent noticed, she noticed everything about Rhaenyra. Perhaps that is why it was so easy to hate her, so easy to pick her apart, not out of resentment, but out of jealousy. For what had Alicent been if not jealous? Of Rhaenyra. Of those she loved. Of those she held so dear she was willing to do anything for them. Of the time she once held that very place in Rhaenyra’s heart. What a bitter tapestry she had woven for herself.

    “You did, what?” Rhaenyra spoke and Alicent could feel her eyes on her, but Alicent was not sure she could look at her and retain the ability to speak.

    “I came here seeking to be absolved.” Alicent could say nothing else, for it was the truth. "

    In other words, what should have happened at the end of episode 208

    Summary

    For almost a year, it had been thoughts of Alicent – of her scent, her smile, her care, and the secret, hidden sound she made when Rhaenyra made her come, and of forbidden fantasies of taking her to Dragonstone on Syrax’s back and marrying her in the custom of House Targaryen of old, binding themselves together with steel and blood – that had sustained her. The joy of knowing that she would return not to the childhood companion she had unwittingly lusted after for so long, but to the woman who had responded to her advances and, Rhaenyra had thought, returned her affection. She had been so very wrong.

    Summary

    Between the evening bottle of rum and the morning scent of smoke lies the real story of Rum-Runners’ Island. Canon-friendly through Pirates 2: DMC. Many, many apologies to Homer. If you hated the Odyssey in high school, trust me, you've never seen it like this.
