You are so sweet tysm!!! 🤍💕🤍💕 I’m so glad you like it!!!!!

Alicole as a slowburn neighbors to lovers gives me life!!! (He’s probably loved her for a long-time but never wanted to push anything because he knows she’s a young single mom and respects that. He just wants to be there for her in whatever way he can, and if that’s only as a friend then he’s ok with that. Eventually though, they do become for than friends). 🤭🤭🤭 Anyway I’m done rambling…. 🤍🤍

“Ballerinas are seen as soft and elegant, but no one understands the perseverance it takes to be those things.”

~ The other dancers at the prestigious dance company Alicent Hightower works for look at her with jealousy. What must it be like to be the company’s top ballerina? They have no idea just how hard it was for Alicent to achieve what she has.

~ As a young, single mom to her one daughter Helaena, Alicent has had to sacrifice a lot over the years to get to where she is. As the lead in the companies production of Swan Lake, Alicent has nothing but her own blood, sweat, and tears to thank for her achievements. That, and her wonderful young daughter, who has cheered her mummy on from the time she was a toddler, and her neighbor Criston, who’s babysat many hours for Alicent and has never asked for anything in return.

~ But tonight is the opening night of this season’s Swan Lake. As fellow dancers, extras, and stage hands whirl around her, Alicent, in full hair, makeup, and costume, takes a deep breath and gazes out into the audience from the wings. There in the first few rows is an excited Helaena sitting on the lap of Criston Cole, who’s smiling along with her. They can’t see Alicent but the sight of them makes her smile, and gives her the last push of confidence she needs in the next few minutes as the orchestra begins to play and she makes her way out onto the stage.

first sunday without them.

[nxpthys]

Kid!Aegon: Every time I go to a hotel I take a bite of soap, just to mess with people.

Criston: You DO realize that by eating soap, you’re the one who’s losing, right?

Kid!Aemond: You’re just jealous he was brave enough to taste the Forbidden White Chocolate.

Kid!Aegon: White chocolate’s disgusting!

Alicent: AND SOAP ISN’T?!?!

welcome to my pta mom alicent au, she is very active in her community

[alicentsultana]

Calling all besties to debate with me!

Hotd modern!au, what would Criston work with?

I particularly see him in something like military official or a firefighter, lieutenant or capitan, something that involves fighting and security of some sorts.

In the same au, what would Alicent do?

In my head, she probably would divorce and have to redo her life, she's very clever, and I believe that she well versed in history, culture, knows a little bit about language and dialects, so I see her as either a professor or a tourist guide, I totally can see her showing monuments and explaining it, and I also can see her doing a slide presentation and telling students to write an essay for next Tuesday.

I also think about the children, Aegon would totally try to drop out of high-school and give up college, furthermore as a way to help his mother after the divorce. However, Alicent would force him to finish school and tell him to get a half-period job (maybe in mctargaryen), but I think he would try to take care of his siblings so his mother wouldn't worry.

Helaena and Aemond would clean the house and attempt to make some food (pasta, that's a lazy home alone sibling food), and I picture they would fight over who's turn it is to change Daeron's diapper (he only begin to walk recently).

Anyway, tell me you guys opinions and hc, I need some ideas.

[fatherforgivethem]

Are you, are you, comin' to the tree? Where they strung up a man, they say, who murdered three. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight in the hanging tree…

Are you, are you, comin' to the tree? Where the dead man called out for his love to flee. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight in the hanging tree…

(Thank you to @sidraofthewildflowers for plaguing me with this idea. The movie was bomb we need to see it again!)

[moonshine999]

Let’s discuss Alicent as Rapunzel and Criston as Flynn pls.

Hightower Mum and Dad.

(Six year old Daeron took the pictures. Helaena put the barrettes in Criston's hair.)

[ladymorghul]

imagine alicent going out for drinks with criston who she knows but hasn’t introduced to the kids and she drinks a little bit more than she planned so criston kind of has to take her home to make sure she gets there fine and when he gets there the kids are like:

[swordofthemxrning]

Stop, the last of us is inspiring me to write a zombie apocalypse AU for hotd , it will be a modernish AU and feature a ship or two (mayhaps team green-centred). I don’t know should I write it? It will probably follow the Cordyceps stuff and not any other variant since I am really in the Last of Us mood atm.

So yes, tell me, should I write it?

[sidraofthewildflowers]

Thank you for the most perfect request!! The greens living their happy, odd, Paddington, English family life is the best thing ever!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🐻🐻🐻

Renaissance meets Bear

Alicent Brown: Alicent’s favorite place (other than the kitchen where she can usually be found baking up all kinds of new creations) is the oddball shop she works at just around the corner from their home, where she works alongside the shops aged and equally eccentric owner, Mr. Gruber.

Life recently took an exciting turn when, on the way home, Alicent and her family spotted a little brown bear at the train station. It didn’t take much convincing to take him back home. Paddington was his name. He loves to eat her various kitchen creations, and has made a wonderful addition to the family.

Criston Brown: Criston never expected to have his life spun around when a little bear entered his family’s home. Though, with his wife Alicent, he should have learned that anything was possible. Life as a banker should have been a simple one, but with four children, a bear, and his colorful wife, life was never simple.

He has always tried to be the parent that kept the havoc of the house in order, but his family was far too exciting for such a thing. And that’s something he’s just fine with.

Aegon Brown: Aegon loved nothing more than building rockets. Well, that and his family. He wants to go to space and see what the world looks like from way up above. Ignoring his father’s loving advice of “thinking safe”, Aegon likes to set his handmade rockets off outside, which then usually means that he will loose rocket making privileges for a little.

It’s an often sight to find Aegon and Paddington tinkering away at a rocket in the middle of the kitchen while Alicent bakes and the rest of the kids take part in their own hobbies.

Helaena Brown: Helaena likes to call herself an explorer. Well, if going out to explore the city makes someone an explorer, than she is one. She likes to bring home pastries from the cafe she works at. She always makes sure to bring marmalade muffins for Paddington to eat. He adores them.

Paddington likes to join her on adventures and the two like to take breaks by eating at little hole-in-the-wall restaurants where they serve the best English food.

Aemond Brown: Aemond loves to take pictures of just about anything. At the moment, he’s been making his family dress in odd costumes for a theme he likes to call “Renaissance meets Bear”. Alicent loves it, and Paddington does too because he gets to eat the little marmalade sandwiches she makes while they work.

The movie theater that he works at allows him to watch all of the films he loves. On special days, when Aegon and Paddington beg, he’ll play a movie of his family’s choice.

Daeron Brown: Daeron, the youngest of the rowdy bunch, loves history and everything to do with it. He can usually be spotted hand in hand with Paddington as they walk around the large museums of London. His room is full of books that are stacked on top of one another. Don’t tell his dad that another stack fell down and broke his lamp.

He enjoys spending his time in the kitchen where most of his family is, and telling his family a new history fact that he and Paddington recently learned.

[nxpthys]

Criston, dressed like Santa and lying on the floor of Aemond's room: Ouch Alicent: What's wrong? Criston: I try to give Aemond his gifts, but the moment I got through the window he hit me with his toy and kicked me in the balls yelling: “go away creep!” I’m both proud and concerned

[honeyblockm]

Just had a really bad idea smiles

[alicentsultana]

I saw your modern! au post and here are some thoughts:

I feel like the Hightower's in a modern au would own a really fancy university in Oldtown plus a Church.

Otto's older brother, I believe he's named Hobert Hightower in the show? anywayyyy he's like the owner of everyone, Otto is a professor and Alicent kinda followed in to his footsteps.

She met Viserys after Aemma dies? Kinda like Viserys started going to church lol and Alicent was already going to church so they meet, he grows an attachment, she feels weird about it? Because let's say here Viserys and Otto were University buddies? Like Viserys was sent to Oldtown to study met Otto they became friends, then Viserys moved back to KL but they still somewhat kept in touch.

But Otto sees Viserys's interest in Alicent as something good, because the Targaryen's are filthy rich so he hopes Alicent and himself by extension will get benefits through Viserys.

Alicent married Viserys, let's imagine she was barley 19? Because a Stepmom to 9 year old Rhaenyra who hated her guts (it's honestly just and expected reaction I think because the poor lil girl just lost her mom and now her dad brings in his new wife so she feels abandoned in a way) and an asshole brother in law Daemon who keeps insulting and laughing at her.

Then there's Criston who's...hmmm a newly hired bodyguard for the Targaryen's? He was mainly in charge of Rhaenyra, him and Alicent don't interact much beyond pleasant hellos and stuff.

After 9ish years? Of a toxic marriage Alicent just has enough of dealing with Viserys, his neglect and straight up bad behaviour towards her. Let's say Aegon is 9, Helaena 8, Aemond 7, and Daeron 2. She takes the kids and hires a lawyer (for the sake of plot lol let's say her lawyer is Larys Strong 🤡) she gets some shares in whatever business Targaryen's have and moves back to Oldtown.

This is getting long lol so to be continued....

Omg I LOVED THAT

Annon if you ever plan to write it or just rumble about it SIGN ME IN!!!!

The post for those who want to read/recap.

Larys as lawyer is 10/10, I wonder how the audit turned out, will viserys fight for custody? Does he visits? The children together have roughly a great percentage of Targwhatever inc than Rhaenyra, I believe someone would try a lawsuit, just to spice things up.

Wouldn't judge the girl either, she just lost her mother and her father is already thirsting around... but I do want her to be close to her siblings, and then everything going -360°

I would love to read and think about Alicent's motivation, do you think otto used religion to say this was right or do you think she ever held some personal ambition? I picture her abandoning her studies to marry, is something that always comes to me, I also would go as far as bringing any kind of kink from his side while she's quite clueless, adding those very dark undertones, he thinks he's in the right.

Also, I must come my alicole bs so bear it with me - he's hating work for this targashian/townner clan, Alicent doesn't have money to keep him when she moves out with the children - so he just find some work around? Maybe even helping in the church, one hour travel to old town every weekend... In the Seven we trust

Please continue, this is sounding awesome!
