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
Alicent knows she shouldn’t bite but she cannot stop her reflexive retort. “That’s rich coming from a notorious narcissist.”
She immediately regrets it, is on the verge of apologising, but Rhaenyra is quicker and out for blood now, a dangerous glint in her eye.
“Better a self-aware narcissist than a self-righteous, deluded, parasite. Tell me do they teach charlatanism at the Citadel or is that something you inherited from your father?”
(Modern Academics AU - Alicent, literature professor and noted novelist, returns to King’s Landing after a long absence to take a position at the same university where former best friend Rhaenyra is a member of the history faculty. Why did they fall out and why in the Seven are they teaching a lecture together?)
