    Summary

    This is our submission for THAUC 2024.
    My darling partner was Sublimpingvin. It was an honour and a joy to write this for and with Pingvin who's been nothing but amazing through every step of it! <3

    I've decided to put all 4 parts into one work. Please do not be alarmed by the number of chapters - a few are just to introduce a break between the different parts.

     

    The parts

    1. Fic (1-6)
    2. Smut Bonus (7&8)
    3. The Wedding (9-14)
    4. Epilogue (15-20)

    The prompts used were

    1. Ori is recounting the quest, trying to put his story into words/sketches. How does it differ from the actual events? (aka, better? worse? romanticized?)
    2. Crime Show AU (Who murdered Thrain and is he really dead?)
    3. The struggles of romance when one race is prone to great gestures of courtship, while the other is not.

    Enjoy!
