Summary
It struck Fand, when she saw Emer first, how beautiful she was even with her face twisted and red with rage and a knife in her white-knuckled grasp. Hair as black as a raven's wing, eyes gray and unforgiving as Cuchulainn's spear.
A stark contrast to how she looked now, like a spooked animal, startling at every little noise.
After the events of the Only Jealousy of Emer, Fand can never cross paths with Cuchulainn again. But it's not the Hound she longs for...
look i know this is stupid but realistically nobody's going to read this im literally writing this for myself so i don't go mental. the ulster cycle needs more girls being insane over each other actually. this is literally just me projecting my huge crush on emer onto fand and my trouble sleeping onto emer lmao. the title is from the poem fand by william larminie.

Summary
That he who has slaughtered whole armies and fed Ulster’s soil with invader’s blood should still be haunted by one death among countless others is beyond belief.
He says as much to his wife, and her sad smile and soft murmur sets a stinging behind his eyes that he cannot blink away.
“You know why it is so.”
It has been years since the war, and the Hound of Ulster still mourns the champion of Connacht.
Láeg and Emer are there beside him through it all.
