Big Mama and Little Tata
The reverse of the fic I posted the other day:
Curufin is not able to have babies himself but he's still androgynous af and very much genderfluid.
He marries a woman who is much taller than him and very beefy (the only circumstance in which I'd be happy with Mrs. Curufin being a smith, too) which leads to confusion, like:
a) ok who's the mom and who's dad here? (people usually have it wrong, at first)
b) why have you married a woman who is basically your brother Celegorm + uterus? (guess why)
Then a few days ago I was marveling again at how much sense 'Tyelperinquar' makes as a name if Tyelpë is Celegorm's son, so my brain was like...why not combine ^ with silver = Celegorm is the mom.
Aaand, I really like this idea - gives me many fuzzy feelings - but also makes me very sad for some reason.
Maybe because Curufin would feel a lot of reverence towards Celegorm as his big sister, and also maybe Míriel's ghost lurking? Idk, I feel this doesn't explain it, but anyway.
It's also the perfect set-up to have that painful & emotionally devastating role reversal of the Maiden Astraea - Garl Vinland situation I've always wanted to write (in Doriath ofc: 'You killed her, didn't you? Take this precious Silmaril (may it bring you only pain and suffering)"...........aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah).
(And also have this track.)
