#trying some different stuff with it

[thescrapwitch]

I am still working on fics so here is a snippet from the latest upcoming chapter of From Ruins We Grow to prove it:

“Fingon has returned to life,” said Mahtan.

The two of them sat by the fireplace, sharing a pot of tea as the snow fell outside. Necel was curled up beneath the bed, having stuffed herself on the sardine treats Mahtan had brought with him. The conversation had been pleasant enough beforehand, moving from project ideas to harmless news from Tirion. Mahtan’s words chilled Fëanor’s heart.

“Has he?” Fëanor tried to swallow down the bitter envy that rose up in his throat. “I suppose Nolofinwë is pleased.”

“Your half-brother is still in the Halls,” said Mahtan. There was a weariness to him, as though expecting a familiar argument to start, but also a strange gentleness. An understanding of how deeply Fëanor missed his sons. “As are the rest of his children and Arafinwë’s, save Finrod. Fingon is the second of Finwë’s grandchildren to come back.”

“I see.”

What else could Fëanor say to that?

He’d seen the tapestry of Maedhros’ capture and torture, of those damn cliffs and Fingon’s rescue. What parent wouldn’t be haunted by the sight of their child’s broken, dangling body? What parent wouldn’t be grateful to whoever saved them from such horror?

Though he wasn't surprised by the depth of Fingon’s devotion. It was almost laughable how everyone thought him unaware of the truth. Of course he knew Maedhros and Fingon loved one another. All of Valinor knew. A love that burned as bright as theirs was not subtle. But Fëanor had been upset by it and didn’t want to be - didn’t want his son to charge forth into a relationship out of spite, or worse, to limit his heart in an effort to appease his father - and so bit his tongue to ribbons and faked ignorance.

He assumed one of them - probably Fingon, who hated secrets and preferred honesty, even when lies would have made life smoother - would broach the topic sooner and later. In preparation for what seemed like the inevitable, Fëanor had planned out what to say when Fingon finally knocked on his door and asked for Maedhros’ hand. A whole speech, written out and memorized, with a series of questions and demands ending in acceptance.

Never, no matter his feelings towards Nolofinwë, did Fëanor want to stand in the way of Maedhros’ happiness.

But then Morgoth’s lies had dripped poison into his ears and everyone - brash, gold-hearted nephews included - became enemies. Spies, liars, wolves in sheep’s clothing threatening to tear apart all Fëanor held dear. All his good intentions to support his eldest son were forgotten as he ripped apart any chance of that love blooming into a peaceful union between their two families.

The silence stretched on in the cottage, turning uncomfortable. Fëanor forced himself to speak. “Has he adjusted to returning to life?”

“Not yet,” said Mahtan. “From what I have heard, Finrod is doing his best to help, but Valinor is much different than Beleriand. It shall take time. A long time.”

Fëanor stared into the fire. The flames were as red as his son’s hair. The flames had burnt his bright boy into ashes. “Has he asked about Maedhros?”

“Yes,” said Mahtan. “Every single day.”

I know we're not on the Hearts chapter but, I have a feeling the SSR will be Cater? But also him having the tear animation, since I have a feeling his dream will be a bit like Ruggie's q-q

I'm leaning towards either Cater or Ace, personally! Trey and Deuce have kinda already had their character arcs -- though someone else did mention to me that they thought it might be Trey, because so far all the vices have gotten one. though that might just be coincidence. we'll find out I guess!

my red-string-on-corkboard theory is that Ace is gonna get his arc + UM during whatever goes down with Grim, so while I could be completely wrong, I think it'd be nice if it were Cater's time to shine! ...also I am VERY curious as to what his dream is gonna be. 👀 like, I don't think he's gonna be all angsty or anything, he's a pretty cheery guy even though he pretends to be more vapid than he is, but...what would he be like if he were less. y'know.

(also I kind of want him to get the focus just because I think it'd be a shame if all he got was a super-quick 'oh his dream is to have a billion followers or whatever, now let's go on to the next person'. c'mon Twst. give him some love.)
