journalist/food critic alicent hightower x famous chef fem!reader .ᐣ
where otto hightower is a successful business man of some sort, a CEO maybe, and his daughter wants to break the wheel of boring corporate jobs and pursue her passion in writing.
pushing the nerdicent agenda here..love an awkward firecracker alicent pared with a patient yet also stubborn reader. literally dying to write about this right now so here's an idea of what they'll be like.
VERY inspired by this rhaenicent fanfic by moomnoom on ao3, their fic was the first fic that got me into ao3 I definitely recommend it!
inspired by the horrendous heat we have been having over here in the uk. no seriously, help me, please.
(not fully proofread because I am so tired)
.ᐟ imagine her pulling out and filling up a kiddy pool for harrison. she's had it for at least six years now, it only fits three people in it standing and one sitting, and it has miraculously survived being stuffed in cupboards multiple times.
.ᐟ she'll whip out a barbecue and cook like a dad at a family gathering. she'll cook all sorts, and for someone that relies on take out, leftovers, and cereal, she's a phenomenal barbecuer. it's her and her tiny grill again the world.
.ᐟ s'mores. she would be on s'more making duty for harrison.
.ᐟ sitting out on shitty garden chairs with some kind of cold beverage on the table between you two. maybe just plain old water filled with a handful of ice cubes or maybe carton orange juice if she felt extra fancy.
.ᐟ imagine just watching her in the sun. she might be in some shorts and a tank but her arms just look so..delicious. watching her wipe the sweat off of her brow with tongs in her hand whilst she grills, listening to how she huffs and sighs as the heat makes everything feel more exhausting. it isn't until harrison brings you back to reality with jumping in his pool that you realise you've been staring long enough for your ice cubes to have melted.
.ᐟ she would be so excessive with sunscreen. she is traumatised from that patient with major sunburn from the July 4th weekend and she will not let a single one of you go without a thorough sunscreen wipe down.
.ᐟ adding onto that, she will remind you of the dangers of heatstroke or heat exhaustion and make sure you have had more than enough fluids.
.ᐟ freezer is stocked up with tubs of ice cream. you name it, she will most likely have it, along with popsicles.
.ᐟ once she's finally allowed a break from blowing up the kiddy pool, filling it with water, thoroughly smearing sunscreen all over the three of you, AND cooking, she finally sits down with one of her books. the distant sound of music playing from the kitchen and harrison splashing around was the perfect white noise for her.
.ᐟ harrison would be exhausted from the heat and all of his splashing around so just imagine cassie carrying him to bed then returning to help you clean up. you two would move in a comfortable silence, brushing against each other, maybe laughing over much ice cream harrison ended up with smeared around his mouth after devouring a whole tub of it.
.ᐟ once everything is cleaned up the two of you would lay on the sofa, coming down from the day you've had. cassie would have her book back in one hand, her nails either stroking your arm or scratching your scalp, whilst you enjoyed the tv before bed.
do you know how difficult it is to be painfully british using american terms??
those bridgerton fans that are mad it’s michaela and not michael are only mad because they don’t have a new man to drool over (that and it’s just blatant homophobia) but lucky for me I now have TWOOO women to drool over
