Halenthir scenario where they get married for tax benefits (in a platonic good friends sort of way) and fall in love long distance via sending each other letters with ideas on how to best leverage their marriage for tax evasion.

#Haleth has never paid taxes before moving to brethil #And is FUMING about the idea. So she sends a letter to Caranthir who mentioned something about *evading* taxes #In this setting I guess they part on good friendship terms #She visits him for a crash course in tax evading and they get drunk and someone mentions marriage giving you tax benefits #They wake up the next day and decide “you know what. Let’s actually get married for tax evasion purposes. It would be hilarious”#Up to you whether they get married in the elven way or just in the human way #Haleth fucks off back to brethil with a bunch of gifts from Caranthir like “bye bestie” and he’s like “👍. Bye bestie.”#And they strike up a proper correspondence #Because they’re married obviously #not because they’re having fun talking about loopholes in the tax code #That would be ridiculous. Obviously they are writing each other erotica.#All of Caranthir’s brothers find out because Caranthir ticks married on his tax return #Maglor voice: YOU GOT MARRIED? AND YOU DIDNT INVITE US?#Caranthir voice: It was pretty low-key. Now tell me. Did Fingolfin cry upon seeing how I leveraged my marriage for tax concessions.#Literally all his brothers: various sounds of sudden realisation this is a tax scheme #half of them don’t even believe haleth is a real person. She might have just been made up for tax reasons #Obviously this leads to a comedy of errors and classic finwean snooping #at one point Haleth hits one of Caranthir’s (half) cousins with a shovel for snooping #claims her name isn’t haleth (despite all her people calling her Haleth) and dares them to call her out on it #they can’t btw she is terrifying #silmarillion #the silmarillion #tolkien #caranthir #morifinwe #haleth of the haladin
