And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow by mrdcai

Summary
Rhaenyra breathes hard at the proximity. Steps even closer. She does not know why, but she wants to. Craves it. Her usual stony restraint and goading spitefulness when dealing with a furious, self-righteous Queen Alicent having slipped away, leaving only the gnawing want underneath. A feeling that she has rarely acknowledged over these last years though it has been there all along. She feels its force course through her fiercely, unchallenged for the first time in a long time.
“You still wish to reconcile with me?” Rhaenyra whispers in astonishment.
Alicent squeezes her eyes shut, exhales shakily, but she does not move away.
“That is not- do you not see- Oh, Seven Hells.” Alicent lets out a groan of vexation and then lurches forward capturing Rhaenyra’s lips in a bruising kiss.
(Or the Magic Fertility Ritual AU where Alicent and Rhaenyra get each other pregnant and fight each other until they decide to fight for their family)

Summary
“No, I’m only joking, it would absolutely be a date, yeah. You’re just so fascinating, I want to pick your brain apart with like… an ice pick or something.”
“A lobotomy, you are describing a lobotomy,” Alicent murmurs.
Alicent is the Director of Communications for the Vice President. Rhaenyra serves as the White House Liaison to the President. Which means they see each other every day. Something that would not be a problem at all—if not for the fact that Alicent absolutely hates Rhaenyra's guts.

Why did you leave me ? by Katsuragi_Triss (Lexyan)

Summary
"Mother also says you're not friends anymore. Why?"
When Alicent lowered her gaze to Joffrey, she read no reproach in the little boy's eyes, merely innocent curiosity. Why weren't they friends anymore? There had been so much pain, so many elements beyond her control that had led to this situation that Alicent had never clearly dared ask herself the question, as if the answer couldn't possibly be simple anyway. And yet the words came to her naturally, like a breath too long held in her lungs.
"Because we hurt each other, mutually."
"Why?"
"Because it was so decided."
"I don't understand," muttered the child.
"I don't understand either," was all Alicent could reply.
It had been four years since Driftmark, since Aemond's lost eye and Rhaenyra's blood. Four years to pray and forget.
Four years after Driftmark, when Alicent thought she had finally forgotten, the maester announced that little Jaehaerys' lungs were sick and that only Dragonstone's sea air could cure him. And, once again, Alicent was forced to remember, to confront a past that was far too heavy, an echo of all she had lost.

“I’m entertainment, why would I be doing a race?”
Entertainment editor at her father's magazine, Alicent Hightower finds herself assigned to the Monaco Grand Prix when her coworker is out sick for the weekend. It's not so bad, though, as it seems she'll be interviewing the only current female driver in the League—Rhaenyra Targaryen.

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
“It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”
Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”
Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”

“I am your caddie,” Kara says, then looks up from where she’s been reading the grass, a teasing smile on her lips. “Right now, even.”
or
Lena finds her new caddie on a golf course in the middle of nowhere, and then, she finally starts winning trophies.

Summary
Kara supposes that like most superheroes, even villains have their own (not so) secret identities to retreat to during the day. As disturbing as that thought is.
Though, in knowing that however, certainly does not prepare her with the mental fortitude for running into any of them out of working – or should she say, hero – hours.
In the midst of reining in her surprise, Kara inwardly wonders if there’s a standard proper protocol somewhere for running into the little sister of her cousin’s greatest nemesis at some run-of-the-mill supermarket in town.
Or.
Even in a universe where Lex Luthor runs rampant and free, and Lena inevitably sides with her family, Kara has never once stopped believing that she is nothing but good.

Bobby Jones has never had much success in life.
He's spent most of his twenty eight years struggling, and he can’t think of a moment where he really felt like he achieved something that mattered. But as he looks in his rear view mirror and sees the bloody, crumpled form of Supergirl in his back seat, he feels it. Fuck yeah he feels it.
This is gonna matter.

"How hard can it be?" Kara asks, smiling as she wraps her arms around Lena's waist, pulling her in so she's snuggled against Kara's soft, soft shirt. "We were married for five years, you know. This should be a walk in the park."
"If it were a walk in the park we wouldn't have gotten divorced," Lena points out, pushing herself away and trying to ignore Kara's bright eyes and glistening lips and the lovely, familiar way she smells. "Seriously, pretending to be married might be harder than you think."
"It's just one week, okay?" Kara pulls Lena back in, warm hands slipping lower and grazing the skin beneath Lena's t-shirt, and. It's not fair how much Lena's heart flutters at the touch. "We just do a couple interviews, take a few pictures, and then we go back to our own lives. It'll be simple. Easy. Promise."
OR, a [Fake Dating AU] in which Kara rescues Lena from an underwater cave, it turns into one of the biggest media frenzies of the year, and they somehow get branded America's Sweetest Couple by the public. Except, they're not actually a couple, they're divorced.- Language:

“Hello,” Lena says, followed closely by, “Who the hell are you?” She swears to God this better not be another assassination attempt, that would really screw up her day.
The blonde smiles like an alley cat who has just found a new spot to piss in and says, “I’m Kara Zor-El. I’m your soulmate.”
---
At age forty-two, freshly-divorced Lena Luthor long ago gave up on ever finding her soulmate. Even if she did find them, there is no possibility they would be a twenty-three year old bartender who breaks into her office in the middle of the night.
Right?
