What lips my lips have kissed, and why by AdmirableMonster
Fanwork Notes
Those who have read my Steampunk Númenor series may recognize Nimruzimir; no knowledge of that series is necessary for this fic, though there are some easter eggs.
From the perspective of that series, this fic functions as an AU (or perhaps the Darkest Possible Timeline), so if you like Nimruzimir and want to see less bad things happen to him you may wish to investigate here.
Title from the poem of (almost) the same name by Edna St. Vincent Millay
