Summary
Emily Charlton is a recently divorced mother of two trying to balance her chaotic personal life with her position as one of New York’s most feared fashion directors. Andrea Sachs, now one of the most respected voices in fashion journalism, has built a career writing about the artistry, evolution, and cultural influence of the industry she once thought she had left behind for good.
When Runway Magazine announces a massive expansion and a powerful investor offers funding to double only one division of the company, Emily and Andrea find themselves on opposite sides of a ruthless battle for the future of fashion media.
As their professional rivalry spirals into sharp arguments, public clashes, and increasingly personal attacks, neither of them expects the tension between them to evolve into something far more dangerous.

Summary
alicent hightower grew up watching princess rhaenyra targaryen of valyria from a distance; through headlines, scandals, and her head-of-the-global-council father's word-of-mouth. in adulthood, she's assigned to oversee the peaceful transition of power in valyria to find that rhaenyra targaryen is precisely as intractable as the media and her father promised—
and far, far more dangerous to the order alicent has built her entire life around.
(or; a modern royalty au with political optics, assassinations, absolutely no geographical accuracy, and a doomed sense of professionalism)

"Slowly but surely, their weeks start to take shape. It’s ass-backward course design, and Ava still has no idea how they’re going to frame the class or if there’s any thread running through it that isn’t just 'texts your two professors managed not to kill each other over,' but it’s something. Progress."
