Fanfics about Rhaenyra and Alicent’s “friendship” are amongst the favorites on AO3
Even before her controversial connection with her uncle Daemon, people have been speculating about a possible love affair between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her closest friend Alicent Hightower since the start of the Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon. And where there’s speculation, there’s fanfic, and there’s a lot from House of the Dragon on the popular AO3 website.
Three House of the Dragon “couples” are among the top 100 “ships” of AO3
