   Summary

   Cree Deeproots saves Molly on the Glory Run Road and changes everything for the Mighty Nein, and, in return, the Mighty Nein changes everything for her.

   A very, very AU and canon divergent retelling of Campaign Two with both new plots and twists on old ones.

   (NOT CANON COMPLIANT WITH THE NINE EYES OF LUCIEN or anything released after November 2022.)
