Summary
"Mother also says you're not friends anymore. Why?"
When Alicent lowered her gaze to Joffrey, she read no reproach in the little boy's eyes, merely innocent curiosity. Why weren't they friends anymore? There had been so much pain, so many elements beyond her control that had led to this situation that Alicent had never clearly dared ask herself the question, as if the answer couldn't possibly be simple anyway. And yet the words came to her naturally, like a breath too long held in her lungs.
"Because we hurt each other, mutually."
"Why?"
"Because it was so decided."
"I don't understand," muttered the child.
"I don't understand either," was all Alicent could reply.
It had been four years since Driftmark, since Aemond's lost eye and Rhaenyra's blood. Four years to pray and forget.
Four years after Driftmark, when Alicent thought she had finally forgotten, the maester announced that little Jaehaerys' lungs were sick and that only Dragonstone's sea air could cure him. And, once again, Alicent was forced to remember, to confront a past that was far too heavy, an echo of all she had lost.

Day 3: Gothic/Dark Academia
When Kate Bishop is exiled to a fog-drenched Scottish university after accidentally destroying a bell tower, she expects punishment — not fascination.
St. Dymphna’s is all stone corridors, whispered legends, and students who speak in Latin and secrets. And then there’s Yelena Belova — the Dean’s daughter, brilliant, sharp-tongued, and entirely uninterested in Kate’s existence.
What starts as irritation turns into obsession. Between philosophy lectures, midnight storms, and the hum of broken fuse boxes, Kate learns that silence can be as dangerous as electricity — and that some sparks were never meant to be controlled.

Summary
Isn’t it weird, Lena thinks bitterly, how the odds keep on stacking against her?
She never asked to be a Luthor. She isn’t even a real one in the first place. And yet, here she is, dragged by the arms through cold, silent corridors, surrounded by a dozen guards in their polished armor. She is bound, bruised and dirty, escorted to be judged for crimes her brother committed. Lena chuckles derisively. Not Luthor enough in her family’s eyes but enough to be punished in their stead by everyone else.

Summary
Lena lives in a world of bright, indescribable colors. She walks calculated paths among webs of lasers radiating from every person she sees. She avoids large gatherings where the atmosphere becomes a dizzying mess of psychedelic flares and smoke, but she treasures every individual as the sum of their parts: the auras glowing tight around their wrists.
Her mother calls them “soul bonds,” a magical manifestation of the connection between souls that only their bloodline can see. Lena calls them “ribbons.”

This is about as S2 canon compliant as possible with the initial premise. M for language and intimacy.
