rhaenyra and alicent being central to the dance of the dragons is truly proof that all of history is just a doomed love story. everything they did was out of love — even the hateful wretched things, which they could only bear to do because they thought they were doing them out of love. for their parents, for their children, for the love that they once had for each other. and so it goes. and so it was.

[rhaenicentric]

"They are connected by a sort of invisible umbilical cord ... Rhaenyra gets punched and Alicent flinches ... Rhaenyra sneezes and Alicent catches a cold."

rhaenyra never being able to hide how deeply she is wounded, always changed by grief and her overcoming of it.

alicent never being able to show or even acknowledge how deep her wounds run, changed by the endless overcoming that never allows her to grieve.
