Summary
More than two years ago, there was a discussion on KM Shea's Discord about an AU where Farrin and Rakel's progeny married into the Zancaran royal line. I loved the idea, but hadn't had a good chance to write it.
Well, during Inktober, 2024, I decided to use the list (in no particular order) to write the story of how all that may have come about. This fic is the result.
Thank you to all of you who contributed to that original idea so many months ago.
