A King by Any Other Name by Tehta
Fanwork Notes
0. Ereinion "The Scion of Kings" Gil-Galad does have a rather confused ancestry, in the canon.
1. This fic was written as a birthday offering for Wulfila, who (I believe) has a soft spot for Finduilas.
2. I feel a bit weird about having written Elves as having such obvious gender differences. But then, so did Tolkien, for all his talk of near-equality. (Aredhel and Galadriel are presented as athletic, tall and/or deep-voiced, but they are exceptional. Finduilas gets no such description, not even from Turin's human POV: she reminds him of his human sister, not of his Elven friend Beleg.)
3. Many thanks to Eveiya for the beta!
