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"

Summary
adjective: chiral

-
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!

Summary
noun: avowal
an open declaration or acknowledgment
-
“Good afternoon to you too,” Tiergan says.“Nothing about this afternoon could be called ‘good’,” Bronte grumbles, glaring at his food as if it’s personally offended him.
“Did something happen?”
“No,” Bronte answers, a little too quickly. “No, nothing happened.”
“Alright, keep your secrets.” Tiergan would be a hypocrite to press him on this. After all, he still hasn’t told anyone- not Prentice, not Wylie, not Bronte-
He cuts off that train of thought before it goes any further. “How are the rest of the Council?”

Or, Bronte and Tiergan talk. Secrets are revealed and nothing gets solved.Series

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."
_________________________________
Near the close of the Third Age, Celebrían and Maedhros establish a re-wilding sanctuary in Valinor, to help elves fleeing strife in Middle-Earth recover and rebuild their lives.Bookmarked by SemperAeternumQue

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.
