    Summary

    “Sure, I'll do it,” Nat agrees. Against her better judgement, maybe, but fuck it—she’s never been one for smart decisions, and she won't start now. “I'll be your arm candy, rage bait, whatever. Just don’t go falling in love with me or anything.”

    The corner of Lottie’s mouth curls upwards, showing her crooked tooth. “I’ll do my best.”

    She holds out her right hand, waiting. Nat reaches out and takes it.

    Summary

    Nat slows, hands in her jacket pockets and brows slightly raised because she’s never exactly been close with Lottie.

    Yet there she is, peeling a menacing gaze away from the group of boys and settling a soft one upon Natalie once she spots her, all long brown hair and tan skin and god, Nat is always fucking winded at how tall she is.

    Summary

    Nat is roaming through her pockets for a lighter when a small flame starts dancing in front of her. The brunette has gotten closer, only a few inches between the two of them. She’s lighting Nat’s cigarette now, her face dangerously close. Her deep, dark eyes wander across the blonde’s face, and that’s when she says, her voice low and heavy, “I’m so much more than you think, Natalie.”

    or:

    “I… I don’t know what any of this means.”
    “You kissed me, so you must know something.”

    or:

    Nat is new at Wiskayok High School. Lottie is the tutor appointed to help her catch up with the program. Things don’t start well, and will probably only get worse.

    Summary

    "Alicent finally lifted her head, smiling just a bit, and saw Rhaenyra studying her with blatant interest. The boldness of it surprised her, and she struggled not to duck once more, her face aflame.

    'I- I would be most honored, and most grateful to accept, your Grace.' Her father's hand pinched at her, and Alicent's spine stiffened. 'We thank you for your courtesy, my Princess. My King.'

    Applause broke out amid the Court, and Rhaenyra smiled at her. A full, unguarded smile. Alicent did duck her head then, her face redder than the Keep, but her father did not notice this time.

    The Hightowers had been welcomed back home."

    OR

    The Princess will have what she wants, and all she wants is Alicent.

    Summary

    “Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”

    Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”

    “And the Queen.”

    The smile drops from her face.
