thanks @berrysphase!​

The Carpenter’s Son is actually one of my few ongoing fics! It’s more a collection of scenes featuring the same group of characters than a real multichapter fic with a plot. The WIP document contains bits of scenes that I never finished. 

Anyway, The Carpenter’s Son is maybe the only fic I’ve posted for any fandom that doesn’t contain a single canon character. It’s set in Easterling-occupied Dor-lomin, and the primary characters are Dineth, a Hadorian woman who was born several years after the Nirnaeth; Gregan, an Easterling carpenter who wins Dineth from a friend of his in a game of chance; and Ardan, their son. Dineth and Gregan have an ongoing sexual relationship that is not consensual on Dineth’s part, though she goes along with it because there’s really nothing else she can do. When Ardan is in his early 20s, he and Dineth run away and escape to Sirion. 

I came up with these characters in a very backwards way. Back in 2014 I decided I wanted to write about the Third Kinslaying as experienced by an Edain family living in Sirion, and started coming up with characters. I decided that one of the parents in the family was born in Sirion, and one was from somewhere else. Dor-lomin seemed like the interesting choice, and then I thought I’d like to write about a character with one Hadorian parent and one Easterling parent, who had escaped to Sirion with his Hadorian parent. That character became Ardan, and because I am the person that I am, I needed to know everything about HIS parents, and thus I got Dineth and Gregan. Of course, I immediately became fixated on those three characters, and the story about Ardan’s family during the Third Kinslaying was never written (though there is a chapter on AO3 about Ardan meeting his future wife). 

Anyone who’s ever talked to me about Greek mythology knows that i’m VERY invested in stories about the kind of relationship that Dineth and Gregan have: long term non-consensual relationships with fucked-up power dynamics that are also socially sanctioned, in which the disempowered person has to learn to cope with their circumstances in order to survive. Most of the scenes in the fic are related to that, or about Ardan grappling with the circumstances of his birth and his relationships to his parents. If any of this sounds interesting, the completed scenes can be found on AO3 here. 

An excerpt from one of the incomplete scenes is posted below (warning for implied non-con): 

Spring had finally begun to take hold in Dor-lómin. The sun felt warm on her skin for the first time in months, and none of winter’s bite remained in the breeze that tugged at her hair. Unable to stay indoors on such a day, Dineth took an old chair out of the kitchen and set it in a patch of sunlight near the house, bringing her basket of mending with her.  

Ardan sat on the ground near her feet, playing with a collection of pebbles he had gathered at the river yesterday; Maewen and Dineth had brought him along when they went to wash clothes. He seemed quite intent on arranging the stones exactly the way he wanted them, unfazed by the fact that a few of them were almost too large for his clumsy toddler hands. Dineth kept a close eye on her son as she darned one of Gregan’s socks, watching to make sure he did not suddenly decide to wander farther out into the yard where the men worked.

Gregan had left the workshop today and was now laboring beside Sarnor. The younger man looked up and, seeing Dineth watching them, grinned at her. She smiled back. Her friend quickly returned to his task when the carpenter glanced up as well, and Gregan’s eyes met hers. He did not smile, but some of the hardness seemed to leave his face, even as he looked away from her. She followed his gaze and realized, with a strange jolt, that he was watching her child.

In some ways they were almost a family. She mended the carpenter’s clothes and shared his bed and bore his son, and he provided for her and Ardan through his own labor. He was even faithful to her in his own odd way, Dineth thought bitterly - his desire for her had not waned over the years, and he seemed to have no interest in any other women. A mockery of a marriage.

But she was not his wife and Ardan was not his son, not by any admission of his own. Gregan regarded her as more tool than person, worth only her labor and the pleasure she could give him. She still had no idea what, if anything, he had planned for her son - she could rule out death, surely, after two whole years, but the possibility that the carpenter might want to sell Ardan once he was old enough to be worth something still hung over her, a blow that might fall at any time.

Days filled with glitter, taylor swift and shared cups of tea are the best days. Even if the tea aftermath is rather gross. #costa#tea#redlipstick#gregan
