I am trying to chart out the NiF people for sedoretu for Reasons.

The Jing princes (Jingyan and his brothers) are the opposite of whatever their father is: let's say they're Morning, if only because Jingyan feels very Morning to me. So, from that:
  • The Emperor: Evening
  • Prince Ji: Evening
  • Princess Jinyang: Evening
  • Princess Liyang: Evening
  • General Lin: Morning
  • Empress Yan: Morning
  • Yan Que: Morning*
  • General Lin: Morning
  • Xie Yu: Morning
  • Noble Consort Yue: Morning
  • Consort Jing: Morning
  • Noble Consort Chen: Morning*
And then on to the next generation
  • Xiao Jingyu: Morning
  • Xiao Jingxuan: Morning
  • Xiao Jinghuan: Morning*
  • Xiao Jingyan: Morning
  • Lin Shu: Evening
  • Xiao Jingrui: Evening
  • Yan Yujin: Evening
  • Mu Nihuang: Morning
  • Mu Qing: Morning
And the one after that
  • Xiao Tingsheng: Evening
  • Liang Emperor: Evening
  • Empress Xun: Morning
The asterisks are where things have to be fudged a bit: If Yan Que and Lin Yueyao are the same moiety, then he can never realistically have had romantic hopes of her (though maybe still marital ones?) While Xiao Jianghuan should be the opposite moiety to his father, we're told waaay too often that he's the son most like his father, and it would add to post-revelation horror if Princess Linglong was the same moiety as the Emperor.

While there's no way to guess, I'm gonna assume Lin Chen is Evening, for funsies (and because I like the idea of him being a potential fourth for the XJ/LS/MN/? sedoretu along with Jingrui and Yujin). Also also I'm wondering whether MCS presents elaborately Morning?!

So when I read Ursula le Guin last year, I was fascinated by the idea of sedoretus, but I was also insanely busy and/or depressed at the time, so I didn't get fannishly engaged, other than a brief notion that it made Potter simultaneously easier to ship and incredibly creepier. Then, today I found [personal profile] melannen's post on group-marriages, and, well, right post at the right time, because now all I can think about are sedoretus. In all my fandoms, please. Pretty please.

What else, what else? It doesn't work with the Alexandriad, except it does when Alexander and Hephaistion marry Darius' daughters, who needn't be of the same moiety, but even that's wobbly. Works excellently and creepily with Wuthering Heights, actually. And of course there's the Vorkosigan Saga, which a lot of incredibly dedicated people have drawn charts and family-trees for, on [personal profile] melannen's post and elsewhere. Oh, oh, and Hysteria, I'm almost certain it works there.


tl;dr: I've gone mad and am charting my fandoms to new relationship-styles.
