The Secret Lives Of Councilours

Bronte x Fintan: Thoughts and Notes

Authors note: The next chapter will be a fanfic about them... but for now enjoy!

Okay, I saw this ship online...

Wow. I mean, I wouldn't have seen this originally but yes! 

Does anyone remember that Fallon gave Oralie advice about leaving the council with Kenric?
And how he glanced at FINTAN??!!!

Fintan is always teasing Bronte, but if you think about it he has never hurt him. 

Also, its canon they are around the same age sooooo...

If you have read most of my fics, you will know I love the misunderstood villan trope. Fintan is the perfect example. He was shunned and forced to resign. 

(It is my head-canon that he was beguiled by someone in the Neverseen.)

And... I have been seeing some AMAZING art with these 2. Shout out to my wonderful bestie Iris! But no joke, our fanbase is seriously gifted.

For a describing song may I present:
As it Was; By Henry styles

Holding me back

The council not allowing them to be together

Gravity's holding me back

... Same meaning 

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?

Fintan confessing his love on a cold day, right before his mind breaks

Nothing to say

Bronte is shocked but won't say anything because:

Everything gets in the way

The neverseen, the council, Fintan's pride, Bronte's cold formality

Seems you can not be replaced

Fintan misses Bronte when he is in the neverseen

And I am the one who will stay

Bronte missing Fintan in the council

In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same

Both of them fantasize about everything going back to normal, before the council, before the rebels, before anything

( You get where I am going, right? 😅)

Also, Bronte wishes he had listened to Fallon every minute of everyday.
