“I miss him,” she says, no guile to it.Oralie is more than she lets on. Oralie is steely and courageous under her layers of ruffle and smiles. This is only raw and honest, though.
“So do I.” The fuzz of alcohol in Bronte's mind lets through truths that he normally keeps buried.
If he squints, the third chair in the room, set between them, is no longer empty. Another laughing blonde fills that space, one leg slung over the armrest, their mother’s eyes odd and sharp in his face.
Fintan.

Summary
...then, face to face.
Canon roleswap: During Neverseen, instead of Gisela being captured and tortured by the ogres who have turned on her, instead, their victim is Fintan. After making his escape, he turns to the only place he has left to run: the doorstep of his long-estranged older brother.
This changes both nothing and everything.Featuring:
Bronte, who is old and tired and haunted, and who walks a fine line between Councillor and brother.
Fintan, who is desperate and proud and clever, and who cannot be certain of what he really wants.
Oralie, who is grieving and shattered and brave, and who endures more than anyone could ever have asked of her.
The rest of the Council, who really would like to know what the fuck is going on. -

Summary
She can trust no one with this. Not her husband, who has stood by her faithfully these many years. Not her most faithful stewards or guard-captains. Not even Elrond, who has forgiven things no one could have asked him to forgive.
Galadriel knows too much.
She will fade away, return to the west that she once named home.
She is no longer proud enough to deny herself one last chance to see her family before she goes.

Or, after the War of the Ring, Galadriel seeks out her last remaining cousin.Prompt fill for Praisetotheunknown: "Third-Age Galadriel looks for or finds Maglor, and the ensuing conversation"

Sophie tugs nervously at her eyelashes with one hand, reminding Tiergan painfully that however brave and brilliant she is, she’s still an anxious teenager trying to find her place in this world. “I- I wasn’t sure about this, but I figured that you would get it.”Before Tiergan can ask what ‘it’ is, she pulls out a necklace from under her tunic.
Grief sticks like a knife in his throat.
The gold-and-ruby phoenix gleams proudly in the light from the window, and Tiergan-
Tiergan can’t do this.
-
Or, Sophie reveals a secret that forces Tiergan to confront griefs that he thought he'd left in his past. Bronte helps.
(sequel to Avowal, and part of the Ancillary series)

Summary
He’s broken from his thoughts by one of the guards- he can’t tell any of them apart, they all dress identically and never speak to him unless forced- pushing open the door to his cell. “You have a visitor.”
Is it time for Marella to visit already? He could have sworn it’s only been a day or two. Has he lost track of time that badly?
“Send her in,” he drawls, waving a lazy hand as if he’s still a Councillor on a jewel-studded throne, the world in his hands and Eternalia at his feet. The chain on his wrist somewhat ruins the effect, but he does his best.
“Him,” the goblin corrects.
He blinks. That’s new.
-
Or, Bronte visits Fintan in his ice prison. The former is looking for closure. The latter is looking for a way out. Nothing gets resolved.Prompt fill for anon on tumblr who requested Pyren Bros angst!

Pyren Brothers AU by SemperAeternumQue
Fandom: Keeper of the Lost Cities Series - Shannon Messenger
04 Aug 2023
Summary
This is where I'll be dumping all my snippets and writing for the Pyren Brothers AU! I'm hoping to write a cohesive, chaptered fic someday, but for now, all the snippets and random pieces (some of which will be compliant with canon and/or the overall arc of the Pyren Brothers AU, some of which will not be) will be dumped here.
For those of you who don't know yet: the Pyren Brothers AU is an AU I created in which Bronte and Fintan are brothers, and it makes half of canon a little more angsty and the other half of canon a lot more angsty. And everything hurts a lot. More info on it can be found on my kotlc sideblog, @bronte-deserves-better.

Summary
"You are Elrond's wife, are you not?"
"The cultural practices of the Noldor are stranger than I thought," Celebrían muses vaguely, as if talking to herself. "You wouldn't think anyone would name a child 'Elrondswife', but I suppose it takes all kinds of naming traditions to make a world."

Summary
Alden scoffed. “Oh, please. We’re helpless without each other. And I don’t think it’s even possible for us to break our bond at this point; we know everything about each other.”
Not everything, some traitorous part of Quinlin’s mind muttered.
-
or, through a woven series of flashbacks and present-day snippets, Quinlin tells the story of his and Alden's (rather complicated) relationship.
