You and Whose Army Chapter Three is uploaded! Aragorn explores the Dunedain stronghold of Bar Idh, where he finds an overenthusiastic young healer, a local politician, and a very old book.

I don’t have any of these reservations for fanfic btw. These folks “holler” and say “OK” all day.
Haha is it too American to describe people “hollering” in my story where realistically everyone would be speaking Old Irish and not English at all.
I probably need to go back and take out all the overwritten parts of yawa but that’s like all of the parts :\
Me posting this like I’ve finished the fic I started.
A lot of folks are cranky about the hunt for Gollum film but like if someone gave me a fuckton of money and time I could probably make a non-canon LotR prequel that’s fun and has a fresh take. Or at least write the script for it.
Some of us are writing our own LotR prequel, or will when our brain starts working again.

Just saying.
💜 thank you, brain disease friend (and reader)
Sorry to both my readers, I got a brain disease.
Holy shit I need to finish yawa
I can put this into my fic. I just realized.
Aragorn would be the sort of guy to bring a whole rotisserie chicken for lunch and eat it in silence.
Then Elena thinks she’s 25 and can go wherever she wants even though she’s a 7yo with one hand. Nienor (11yo) is A Pleasure To Have In Class except that she and her older sister are always fighting over stupid things.
Realizing elves probably think that children being upset is a great travesty and meanwhile Hal’s like “my toddler cried because I wouldn’t let her sleep in the sty with the pigs. My teenager says she hates me at least twice a month.”
He has a toddler, a 7yo, an 11yo, and a 14yo. Each of those are their own separate parenting challenge.
I need to find an alternative name for polo somehow.
YAWA!Halbarad literally exists to be the normal dude foil to Aragorn’s tormented angst prince routine.
I need to find a way to have Hal make a “hi hungry, I’m dad” joke.
Post-One Corpse Too Many Hugh is very Hal-coded (or Hal is Hugh Beringar-coded)
The Virgin in the Ice starts out with Hugh Beringar coming back to work from paternity leave.

I can’t say this on main but what if I’m just bad at writing and everything I’ve written is bad.
It’s also fantasy and not the end of the world, but it bugs me slightly.
I did this in YAWA too but in my defense breakfast is attested in Middle-earth.
Another minor anachronism in the Cadfael books that doesn’t really matter to anyone but me: characters eating breakfast.
I love writing YAWA!Aragorn as someone barely able to function in society.
I actually like Arwen a lot, but Eirian doesn’t.
(Arwen is Snow White, Eirian is the unpressed child.)
