alicent hightower
house of the dragon

INFO alicent hightower was a member of house hightower who became the second wife to king viserys i targaryen. she was the daughter of ser otto hightower, who had been hand of the king to jaehaerys i, viserys i, and later his grandson aegon ii. she was the mother of king aegon ii, queen helaena, prince aemond and prince daeron.

CANON POINT i default to her older self which is episode six of season one and onward of house of the dragon, but willing to write younger alicent. current with both seasons of house of the dragon. not sure how i feel about that season two finale, so i'm gonna pretend she didn't sell ageon for her own safety because alicent lives for her children. i also enjoy the intensity of her personality in season one, so i'll likely hold onto that even when writing in season two.

BACKTAGGING always and forever, i can be a bit slow at times. if i'm taking too long, don't be afraid to poke or reach out!

TIMEZONE eastern

WRITING STYLE ever so slight preference for prose, but i tend to fall into my partner's preference.

PHYSICAL CONTACT alicent is a very affectionate person to those she cares about and within her inner circle. soft, brief touches for reassurance and the like, but being a lady of the court, she limits them in the eye of the public. happy to have others who are close to her be physical, but she will be wary of those she doesn't know or trust.

MENTAL CONTACT she has no defenses when it comes to mental contact. i am okay with this but would prefer some discussion/plotting beforehand.

FIGHTING/INJURY as a lady of the court and queen, alicent isn't normally the type to fight and has no training as she relies on guards to protect her, but during desperate times she's willing to put up a fight and defend herself, and if anyone would like to test that assumption at their earliest convenience when it involves her children, she will oblige. also good with injuries as i'm a sucker for hurt/comfort like scenarios.

WRITING INTERESTS

• aus and canon divergences, fix-its, filling in the blanks, etc.
• what if aemond allowed aegon to run away in season one and he was crowned king?
• what if alicent didn't fuck things up and rhaenyra became queen like viserys wanted?
• handmaid's tale au
• hurt/comfort, nursed back to health, body heat, intimate bathing, forced proximity, just one bed 👌🏻
• hades/persephone shit, i'm weak for it
• arranged marriages
• long term psls/continued cr through memes
• hightower alchemy/necromancy stuff
• crosscanon cr i would die for (can also au/canon meld): elden ring/dark souls/bloodborne, lord of the rings, grishaverse, the wheel of time, dungeons and dragons/baldur's gate iii/critical role/etc, star wars,

SHIPS
✓✓✓ aemond targaryen (ain't even ashamed anymore, he is my guilty ship and my favorite one for alicent), gwayne hightower (look the man showed up and started ROASTING cole, how can i not love him??), rhaenyra targaryen, larys strong, aegon ii targaryen
✓ viserys targaryen (especially for younger alient, ?? idk i feel like there was potential but he was too hung up on aemma to fully devote himself to his family). criston cole, sir, you have been demoted as i could not stand you in season two and that's with that haircut?? ick. helaena targaryen, daemon targeryen,
✗

happy to write f/m and f/f for shipping; good with smut or fading to black if that's your preference. kinks if you are interested. auing or time fuckery with game of thrones/a song of ice and fire characters always welcome. also love cross-canon and original characters, though for the latter, i prefer to discuss things first or slow burn to get to know your character. feel free to reach out if unsure and if there are any ships you'd like to discuss.

no ship is ever forced or assumed.

OOC CONTACT feel free to comment here or send me a dm. discord and plurk can be given out upon request.
