    Summary

    This fic owes its inspiration to Set that crown on the ground by Yeats in which rather than being accepted into the Jin sect as a son after the Sunshot campaign, Meng Yao is given a pouch of money and a letter from Jin Guangshan inviting him to take up the leadership of the Moling Meng sect, under the patronage of the Jin sect.

    It’s obvious in the fic that this is just a way of getting rid of Meng Yao, without having to legitimize him. Meng Yao is insulted and accepts Lan Xichen’s offer to bring him into the Lan sect instead. But I thought, “Honestly that’s a pretty sweet deal. I would like to see what a Moling Meng sect would be like.” So this fic is an attempt at imagining what might have happened if Meng Yao had accepted.

    Thank you to JMO2244 for finding Yeats' fic for me :) (Which it turns out I did not remember as well as I thought!)

    Summary

    It turned out that all Meng Yao had to do to turn his fortunes in life around was find a beautiful man in a ditch, save his life by wagering his own cultivation, and allow everyone to assume they were legitimately married.

    (or: Meng Yao vs every single marriage-related trope: FIGHT.)

    Summary

    As they flew, Rhaenys watched her granddaughter. Her curls had been blown free from their pins, streaming in the wind, and she had raised a hand to idly trace the underside of a cloud. A sudden desperation seized her. If Corlys died, Baela would be one of the last two things binding her to this life.

    Rhaenys shook her head, discarding the feeling, and settled in her saddle. There were three things that she had absolute faith in: Meleys, her husband, and that it would be Baela who would inherit the Driftwood Throne, even if it killed Rhaenys to put her there.

    Rhaenys pushes for Baela's claim during the Driftmark succession crisis and finds herself sharing common ground with Alicent Hightower and her strange, half-Targaryen children. As war seizes the realm, Rhaenys, Baela, and Rhaena must navigate House Velaryon to safety, fighting alongside the people always believed to be their enemy.
