An ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' fanfic in which Robert's Rebellion failed and House Targaryen remained in power. King Rhaegar rules from the Iron Throne, but can't control his own family. Dorne still seethes because of his treatment of Elia, his courting of Cersei Lannister causes more division in court, and his children deal the fallout of his actions.
Can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10160644/1/The-Open-Way here]]. Written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3307638/Oberon-Sexton Oberon Sexton]].
