Ingratiate

to try and win favor by flattering someone or trying to please them (perhaps even giving a gift).

An antiquarian that has recently slept through some very important classes is offered the backing of a wealthy patron, if they ingratiate themselves with a local celebrity. The antiquarian agrees, but in the process attracts the attention of a revenant with an unsavoury connection to their uncle.

Even if I throw away what's "fair" & see it only as the means to an end, there's so little that I can work with. The narratives are spun. Whatever work I made to ingratiate people to me & try to find harmony mean nothing. There's nothing left.
