Summary
“If it is forgiveness you seek for killing my father, you will not find it here,” Alicent says over a scoff, over a nasty sound.
Her daughter sleeps behind her in a cot thin as parchment. Her father’s blood seems still beneath her nails though she has not touched him. The city outside groans under its new queen, Aegon has fled, Aemond has taken Harrenhal, and yet Rhaenyra stands in her stripped room, crownless and terrible, asking for judgment as though Alicent has any right to give it.
Perhaps she does; and perhaps that is the final cruelty.
tldr: the one where they slowly reshape the future of Rhaenyra’s reign, mend what has been broken, and rebuild their own family from the ruins. the slowest of burns, really.

Summary
In a last ditch attempt to avoid war after Viserys's death, Alicent visits Rhaenyra with a plot to put her on the Throne. With Rhaenyra's family living at the Red Keep again, they are forced to face their past and find a way forward.
“Two days ago we had dinner together, as a family. And although the children bickered, I could not help but—,” her voice caught in her throat, “—but hope that we could yet repair things.” When Alicent said we, Rhaenyra knew she meant just them. “A day after that, and we were on the brink of war.” She looked up, and Rhaenyra was surprised to see familiar damp eyes. “I’m tired, Rhaenyra. I am very tired. I am tired of forcing my children into roles they do not want. I am tired of fighting for a power I never cared for. And I am exhausted, Rhaenyra, of hating you.”
(Title is from the song "Labour," by Paris Paloma)

Summary
...
What would have happened if Joel was the one bitten at the museum? This is an exploration of TLOU, in which Tess takes Ellie across country in search of the Fireflies. What begins as a reluctant partnership grows into something much deeper, where bonds forged in fire breathe new hope, and a chance for redemption.
...
“You don’t have to answer now,” Tess tells her. “I get that it’s a big thing to ask, but I have to ask it. I just…I want you to know you always have a choice, here. Even if we do find Tommy, and we do find some Fireflies. You’re smart, and you have great instincts. Keep asking questions. Make informed decisions whenever possible.”
“That’s not always an option when you’re a fourteen-year-old kid,” Ellie points out, sounding much older than she is.
“When it comes to your body and what you do with it, it should always be. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even me."

Summary
Surreptitiously, she plucks at the skin of her left thumb, hands clasped demurely in her lap. Seeing Rhaenyra again after these five years apart has been a shock to her system. When Rhaenyra had been at court before, it had been as if there was an open wound, unable to heal, bleeding openly somewhere on Alicent’s body. Something Alicent couldn’t help worrying at constantly. An ugly reminder of her vulnerability, impossible to ignore.

After Episode 8, Viserys lives and Rhaenyra stays.
