The Ways of Paradox by
Fanwork Notes
A couple of people have asked me if I have more stories about Maglor and Claire (who appears in Nocturne and Of Lapwings, Hares and Speckled Eggs). The answer is yes – although both of those fics and this one are intended to stand alone, so don't feel like you can't start here.
Rated Teen for language. Allusions later in the story to grief, substance abuse and mental health issues.
Update - I made a Pinterest board for this fic, if anyone is interested!

This chapter got a little heavy. Warning for references to acute stress and thoughts of self harm/suicide.
Credit to Spiced Wine here - there is a conversation between Rosie and Claire in this chapter that is very like the one they have in Summerland. I didn't realise how alike the two scenes are until I re-read this chapter ahead of posting, it must have been a subconscious thing; I hope you don't mind!! :)
