Summary
Helaena wakes up crying at twenty past three, the sound thin and piercing, cutting cleanly through the darkness of the house like a bird’s call.
Alicent squeezes her eyes shut. She tells herself that Helaena is only a toddler, that she doesn’t know anything, that she needs her mothers, that this is normal, that this is the price of love and the proof of it and not a feat worth challenging Sisyphus over. That it isn’t something she should begrudge her.

Summary
Alicent chest tightened. She had no energy for small talk. Not today. She looked away, pressing her temple against the cool metal of the cart. “Just great,” she murmured, mostly to herself.
Silence stretched for a moment. Then Rhaenyra shifted in her seat. “You know,” she said, her voice carrying that telltale amusement that meant she was about to say something absurd, “there’s a species of jellyfish—Turritopsis dohrnii—that’s biologically immortal. When threatened, it can revert its cells to an earlier stage and basically start over.”
Alicent blinked. “What?”
Or
Alicent and Rhaenyra. Once acquaintances, but after 20 years separating them, only a memory is left. What happens when they both get stuck alone at a ferris wheel for a whole thirty minutes?
