#and announces in court that his son is Looking For A Wife and Fingon is Distressed cause he doesnt want a wife he wants Mae

[youareunbearable]

Watching Bridgerton and My God all im craving rn is Valinor!Russingon with Regency Era courting style

Hand kissing, balls with big sparkly outfits, courting seasons, Maglor willing and ready to shoot Fingon for kissing Maedhros and breaking his brother’s heart and honour by not marrying him after (CAUSE ELVES ONLY MARRY/LOVE ONCE!!! HOW DARE YOU NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!!), a Russingon scene with the "I Burn For You" line

Feanor would also be just like Anthony at the beginning of season one, scaring the hell out of all of Maedhros' suitors until his wife forces him to back off, Maglor and Feanor alternate between telling Fingon to Watch Himself and treat Maedhros with respect

Oh and a scene with Nerdanel with a heartbroken-but-doing-his-best-to-hide-it Maedhros, asking him if he really does want to marry the Teleri Prince, because all she wants for him is to be happy and marry for love, not power, like she did. And Maedhros with a schooled face and heartbroken eyes, who knows his family NEEDS political ties, NEEDS a favorable connection like what a good marriage would bring, just smiles at his mother and says that this marriage would be a good thing, would bring their family honour. And Nerdanel’s heart breaks for her beloved son who was put through so much and is sacrificing So Much

All of the other Feanorians are also there and doing the absolute Most to be Problems On Purpose and getting front row seats to their eldest brother's train wreck of a love life

#amber rambles #Silmarillion #russingon #maedhros #fingon #Nerdanel #maglor #feanor #listen i just think maedhros would marry himself off to make sure his family is secure #and with rising tensions he knows his father isnt making friends in court and so he Decides To Marry #slap this drama into the place instead of the sword waving thing because now feanor is TOO BUSY to care what nolo wants #his First Son wants to marry and MARRY OUT OF THR FAMILY????? NO!!!! but ofc i cant make his choices for him #SO THEN IT MUST BE THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR MY FIRST SON #and maglor is throttling mae like How Dare You Try And Leave And Make Me Heir??? Do You Hate Me??? #mae gets so many suitors and Fingon is boiling with jealousy and Nolo is like Ohhhh Whats This??? You Also Want Marriage??? Great #and announces in court that his son is Looking For A Wife and Fingon is Distressed cause he doesnt want a wife he wants Mae #then Drama happens and its so fun

A collection of “what if elves had Prima Nocta” ideas

1) Finwe was not in fact married twice. Miriel wasn’t his wife, she was engaged to someone else. Finwe thought she was beautiful, and used his authority as to have her.

Neither he nor her husband were expecting her to get pregnant, and they certainly weren’t expecting her to die.

Miriel’s son is not legally related to the king, only to her and her husband. But her husband can hardly stand to look at the baby, with all the tragedy he represents. Finwe adopts his own bio-kid, and names the boy after himself.

2) Prima nocta applies not just to the king, but to the head of the family. Nolofinwe could have taken Elenwe's virginity, if he chose, but didn’t wish to intrude on such an intimate moment for the new couple.

Feanor thinks of it differently.

Maedhros and Fingon are engaged, and planning the wedding, when Maedhros finally brings it up.

“You know my father is a bit of a traditionalist, and he expects us all to put duties to our House above personal matters. This is awkward, but he’s going to expect certain things from you before we can leave for our honeymoon...”

3) This is a large part of why Curufin got married. Nerdanel had been frosty to Feanor for years, but Feanor wants a larger family. And to get his cock wet, despite her refusing his advances.

Curufin finds a woman who he isn’t extremely attracted to, but is exactly Feanor’s type. He courts her, and wins here, and makes very clear to Feanor that Curufin has plans to spend his wedding night in a completely different set of rooms from his bride, have fun!

4) Russingon comedy version.

Fingon says, “So this is awkward, but I have a confession to make. I found out from my father a somewhat awkward fact about my parentage.”

Maedhros says, “Rest assured I will love you even if you’re not of noble birth.”

“That’s not the problem, though we aren’t actually half-cousins. My father explained that Finwe, as king, has the right to lay with his subjects on their wedding nights.”

Maedhros nods. “Prima nocta, I’ve heard of it.”

“Yes. Well, it turns out that Finwe used that right on my parent’s wedding night. And then I was born exactly a year later, though my father and mother didn’t have relations for several more weeks.”

“Oh. That is certainly a change of perspective.”

“I asked, and the king using prima nocta makes no legal difference at all to inheritance! Legally, I am the son of Nolofinwe, and we’re still half cousins, even if this were to be announced in the town square. And legally, half-cousins can wed. Just, by blood I’m your uncle. Not that I care, or see you in any way as my junior, just if you-”

Maedhros cut him off. “I don’t see us as any closer related than we were yesterday. I mean, what tie could be closer than fiance? But I should probably admit something myself.”

   “What’s that?”

“I never mentioned it simply because it didn’t seem important to our relationship, only to my parents’ past. My father always made sure I knew he loved me just as much as my brothers, and that my difference from them was as honor, not a demerit. But a secret honor, like standing firm in the face of temptation, not one to be proclaimed for all to hear. And when I grew old enough to understand the details, I realized it was such an incredibly intimate thing -”

“Please just say it, all this dancing around is more worrying than whatever your parents did could possibly be,” Fingon interrupted.

“My father explained that as king, Finwe had a duty to the Noldor to uphold a certain role. And that part of that role was to have a queen, and to create children with her, to show the safety of his kingdom. But Finwe was not content to only have sex and produce children out of duty. He wanted a lover who sparked passion, and children who existed for no purpose but to be loved. He did so once with Miriel, and though his passion overwhelmed her, he loved their son. And when that son came of age, Finwe saw that Feanor’s bride also sparked that passion in him-”

“Wait are you saying Grandpa Finwe is your father too?!”

“By blood, yes. Though he’s never treated me as closer than a grandson, and Feanor’s the one who raised me and taught me, and Feanor’s sons are my brothers-”

“But we’re half-brothers. By blood, at least.”

“I guess?”

Fingon sat very still for a minute, then shrugged his shoulders. “I suppose nothing’s changed really, we just know now.” He leaned in to kiss Maedhros.

“What, just like that?”

“Do you think of me as your brother?”

“No!”

“Then there’s no harm.”

“But if someone were to find out...”

“How? Nobody knows but us.”

“Our parents know.”

“And the man who raised me barely speaks to the one who raised you. Do you really think Feanor will bring it up?”

“Well, no. Will Nolofinwe?”

“No. He thinks it’s an embarrassing secret, and only told me because I’m of age to get engaged and he didn’t want me surprised if Grandpa shows up on my wedding night.”

“Grandpa knows.”

“He can’t stop us.”

“He’s the king, he definitely can.”

“Fine, if Grandpa Finwe makes a royal decree that we have to break up, there will be a problem. But he can’t forbid us as a parent because legally he isn’t.”

“You’re taking this very well.”

“I already accepted one shocking revelation of our kinship this week and decide I still wanted you, a second isn’t a big change.”

#prima nocta is when the king gets to fuck people on their wedding night #I am stretching the definition with some of these but they follow the theme #extra incest #not quite the same as my previous #droit de kings #but related #yes I go with one year long elf pregnancies #I like the slight alienness and the ease in calculations
