As for punishing Alicent, Aemond and Criston - I will give my TB perspective if I may :)
I support the idea that Alicent should be punished. Just like Luke should. It's more about "how to punish one person for hurting the king's child without punish another person for hurting the king's child." Aemond was kid, but Rhaenyra was heir to the trone. Luke should be punished (NOT by having his eye gouged out), but Alicent can't go unpunished. He took Aemond's eye, she attacked Rhaenyra and wounded her with valyrian steel to the bone. They both should be punished.
Criston should face the same consequences as all the rest of the guards who guarded the royal family in Driftmark. No one checked that Aemond (the prince) did not reach the bed at all. He disappeared in the evening and didn't come back, and no one noticed. What if he fell off a cliff? If Vhagar rejected him? They would find his body or ashes and… what? The two heirs and two granddaughters of the Lord of Driftmark/the king's nieces left the castle unnoticed in the middle of the night to fight "someone who is stealing Vhagar". They didn't know it was Aemond. They could have died. They would find their bodies or they wouldn't and... what?
As for Aemond. In my opinion he knew what he was doing was wrong, that's why he ran away to do it in the middle of the night. He should have known that he shouldn't run away in the night LIKE he was stealing dragon, and go and bond with it properly, under proper supervision, like every other Targaryen had done before him. He should have known that he couldn't use the dragon as a death threat against his younger cousins who lost their mother to the dragon. I know he didn't know them. But he should understand how empathy works and that he's a child who shouldn't be threatening to use a dragon as a weapon. Every child, not just Luke, should understand that escalating violence (physically or verbally, as Aemond did) is wrong.
This is my opinion and one that I know I share with other TBs I know. Some people have… weird ideas, but it works both ways. Some TBs say Aemond should be sent to the Wall, and some TGs say Luke should be completely disinherited, mutilated and his dragon killed. Both attitudes are wrong.
thank you for your input!
i will say that rhaenyra offering to have aemond "sharply questioned" & taunting alicent with that "thank you, father" line & alicent just being very upset and distraught over her son losing his eye is what prompted her to finally lose it and attack rhaenyra. it's not something she was proud of & regretted it the next morning (i really wish that from that moment on the show would make alicent more like her book counterpart... but she was obvs regretting snapping out lol)
technically yeah she attack rhaenyra with a knife, but this fandom's unwillingness to sympathies and recognize alicent's pain is very upsetting to me. i'm seeing a lot of posts like "alicent should've been killed & locked up & whipped" and i'm like... are you fr? this woman is clearly upset and hurt over her son's injury. even rhaenyra and viserys or even daemon never tried to get alicent punished.
wrt to aemond - according to f&b he was sneaking out because he knew his parents would never allow him near vhagar. like i've said, he was supposed to return to KL very soon, and vhagar couldn't come with them to the dragonpit because she's too big. would she just disappear like she had when baelon died? would she go to dragonstone - that's very possible. but he couldn't go to dragonstone since his mom and rhaenyra are beefing.
and considering aemond's character. it was something he wanted to do on his own. he wanted to prove himself. & was 10 and didn't really think through the whole thing. we really don't know much about how targs claim dragons. there aren't any rules. you can just try to mount them and hope for the best lol i think that a dragon also chooses the rider based on personality. vhagar and aemond bonded over feeling lonely . that and aemond's bravery is exactly why vhagar accepted him. and wrt to empathy, listen, not going to justify what he said to the girls, but kids can be really really mean lol aemond's not shown to be very empathic in general & especially not to 2 strangers standing together with his bullies.
anyway, yeah, physical punishments are always bad. especially to kids???? i blame mostly viserys for not showing his son & alicent that he cared about them & just handling the whole situation very badly. in f&b he banishes harwin to harrenhall & sends rhaenyra to dragonstone & makes that threat that he'll cut the togues of anyone who speaks against rhaenyra's family. that makes so much more sense then show version.

Alicent’s voice when she says “he is your son Viserys, your blood” is just permanently stuck in my brain and in my heart. Imagine having to beg your husband to care about his own kid after he literally lost an eye.
She is better than me, I would’ve pushed Viserys into the fire.

sweet emo!Aemond was something I tried once and I have to say I really enjoyed writing from inside his pov. I would love to do it again. None of these are more than a couple hundred words.
All the links were weird on the original posts so I've grouped them together here with a preview:
As you turned to leave the garden Aemond gently caught your upper arm. His eye searched your face as you looked away from him. He pulled you gently back to stand in front of him. You wouldn’t cry. Your eyes stung with the tears you held back. “You could… I…” you gulped. “I can’t bear the thought of you leaving.” You finally looked up at him. He cupped your cheek in his palm. His expression softened from one of concern to a gentle smile. His dimples made you want to smile in return. You couldn’t though. The tightness in your chest, the aching fear was too intense.

And a bonus written from Aemond's pov while he practices in the training yard.

Why does Harwin go along with Rhaenyra passing off his children as another mans? What does he get out of it?
the thing you have to understand first is that harwin doesn't seem to care about legacy or getting an heir to pass along his name and to rule harrenhal after him. to me he's more of a chill guy in the sense that he wants to live his life in peace outside of the pressures of being the firstborn son (but NOT outside of some very specific markers like class and gender). it also plays into it the love and appreciation he has for larys, he might think lyonel has enough with a spare son to pass along the castle and title after harwin dies without legitimate heirs (i think lyonel could say something about that!!).
he gets nothing out of the arrangement with rhaenyra, it's true, but i don't think he entered with getting something in return in mind either. he seems to be very understanding of rhaenyra's situation and doesn't hold any kind of sexual jealousy of her either, nor he resents the place laenor has in the children's lives. harwin seems to be a follower type so i think he fell very easily in the arrangement. of course it must have gutted him to not acknowledge the children as his but i got the impression he wouldn't change it at all because it'd take away much of his freedom as one of the most powerful military commander in the capital and of course lad's nights every three days. having legitimate children would also mean going back to harrenhal and rule there which is something he doesn't seem to want yet or at all.
tl;dr harwin gets nothing out of the arrangement because he wants nothing from it. he loves the children and is attracted to rhaenyra but i don't think he wants the responsibility at all nor he resents laenor because of if. it's pretty selfish! but i think from how men in westeros are and the feudalism and patriarchy of it all, harwin is actually sacrificing a lot but he really doesn't care about lyonel's dreams lol. of course, it's a dangerous position either way but harwin is pretty arrogant in general, he trusts too much in viserys and rhaenyra's influence but he has never seen beyond what's in front of him.

Young Love from the Old Times - Colossus/Piotr Rasputin x Reader
A/N: A Series of Smut Fics to Enjoy :) I do have a ~plot~ for this so if you enjoyed this part, lemme know! <3 
Warnings: N S F W
Part 1
Being a fresh-faced, up-and-coming X-Man was exhausting work. But doing it alongside Piotr had made things smoother, and much more bearable. The both of you were of the same age – 19 – though you were conferred into the X-Men a few months later than Piotr.
You had heard from rumours and hallway talk that him and Kitty – another young X-Man – had a thing for one another. But, apparently, Piotr had reservations about it all – seeing as she was 6 years his junior – and hadn’t pursued much.
And that’s when you came in.
