Palomides x Brangaine: First Kiss 😘 (Palomides thinks Brangaine is in love with Tristan, she thinks he still loves Isolde. Then they both think they other has died)
Oh no. No. No. No. Where was she? Palomides scrambled around on this moonless night. He felt a sticky liquid. It was blood. He felt blindly a little bit more. No. No. No. He felt a dress covered in the sticky liquid.
He took his sword ready to avenged Brangaine if he needed to. He would kill Pellinore’s fable beast for what it did.
Palomides stumbled around. He needed light. He needed to find the beast. The beast has torment people for too long.
Palomides found himself in a meadow where to his surprise Brangaine pointed a torch in his direction.
Everything happened so fast, yet so slow. Brangaine jumped into Palomides’ arms. Palomides held her close. Brangine took Palomides’ face and kissed him. All of that must have happened in less than a minute.
“I thought you were in love with Tristan?”
“Why?” She looked surprised.
“He’s hot and charming…”
“He’s an edgy sad boy.” Palomides could not help but smile. The woman he loved loved him back. “I thought Pellinore’s beast had killed you.” Brangaine kissed Palomides’ cheek.
“Are you guys done?” said a male voice from behind them.
Dindrane and Isolde stood there dressed like Pellinore’s beast.

If you're still doing these: Palomides x Brangaine where Tristan plays wingman badly for Palomides, which ends in the sarracen almost being killed and Brangaine saving him
“I could attempt to abduct Maid Brangaine, and you could save her!”
“No.”
“Then I could simply challenge you for her hand, and you could defeat me!”
“Tristram, why must all your romantic solutions involve violence?”
Tristram sighed as if explaining the world’s most obvious concept.
“Because love is violence! Love is passion, love is danger, love is death! There is no such thing as mild courtship, not for the true lover! Have at thee, Saracen, for the hand of the fair Brangaine!”
Palomides barely had time to draw his own sword and defend himself before Tristram was attacking. The man did not know the meaning of the words ‘mock combat’- Palomides was quite convinced that if he lost, he would be subject to either death or humiliation, even in a game that was theoretically supposed to help him. Granted, most of his encounters with Tristram ended in swordfights. He was beginning to wonder why he spent so much time with the man.
“Stop, stop!” Brangaine yelled as she ran over to them. (He was lucky it hadn’t been Isolde, who would have cheered them on.) “How dare you!” she said, addressing Tristram. “How dare you attack a man who has saved my life, just because you’ve quarreled over the hand of Isolde! You know her heart belongs to you, Palomides is no rival.”
As she pulled Palomides aside, Tristram gave him a look that said ‘See? It works!’

Palomides x Brangaine, "longing"
Theway Palomides looked ather was strange to Brangaine. Therewas a glint in his eyes that was all too familiar to her; the same look that hehad often been seen giving Isolde. A look of pure fascination, love, andlonging. What was surprising to the handmaid was how it seemed that this timearound, it was her that Palomides was staring at rather than Isolde.
Brangainelooked away, mumbling a few curses to herself. The dame thought it was foolishto think that Palomides might share her feelings. He was in love and wouldalways be in love with Isolde. Even if his love for Isolde was gone, why would he suddenly develop feelings for a lowlyhandmaid like Brangaine?
Sighing,Brangaine kept her head low and walked out of the great hall of the castle. Shekept walking until she reached her bed chambers. She stopped short when sheheard the sound of footsteps racing towards her.
“DameBrangaine!”
Thehandmaid’s body tensed at the sound of the voice, face growing hot. Part of herwanted to rush into her bedroom without a word and never come out again.Despite the anxious feeling within her, Brangaine turned towards the source ofthe voice.
“Hello, SirPalomides.”
The knightapproached the maiden with a look that conveyed both urgency of fear.
“If you havethe time, I was hoping I could discuss an important matter with you.” He said.
I’d give you all my time if you let me.
“Of course!What is it you would like to talk about?”
Palomidestook a sharp inhale, “Our relationship.”
Brangainefelt as though she had stopped breathing all together, “Oh?”
“Well…we’veknown each other for a long time,” Palomides began fidgeting with his hands,“We’ve been through a lot together and uh…I may have ended up developingfeelings for you.”
He paused towait for Brangaine’s reaction. When he was met only with wide eyes and a redface, he decided to continue.
“I neverthought that I could possibly love anyone besides Isolde but you’ve changedthat. You’re so strong-willed and dedicated and you’ve always showed me kindnesswhen no one else did. I feel as though I have taken you for granted for allthese years and I deeply apologize for it.
“But for thepast few months, I haven’t been able to look at you without get an achingfeeling in my chest. Brangaine, I believe I that I have fallen hopelessly inlove with you.”
Brangainewas at a loss for words. Was this all a dream? When had she fallen asleep?Could Palomides really be confessing his love to her? Hundreds of thoughtsfilled the dame’s mind at once to the point where she had nearly forgotten theknight in front of her.
Palomidescleared his throat, causing Brangaine to snap back into reality, “I’m sorry tobring this up to you so suddenly. I know you have feelings for Sir Tristan butI wasn’t sure how much longer I could go without telling you.”
He turned towalk away from a still very much surprised and awestruck Brangaine. Letting outa shaky breath, the woman’s face quickly turned from that of surprise tohappiness to confusion. She tried desperately to put together all that hadhappened within the last minute.
“SirPalomides,” she said. Palomides stopped in his tracks, turning to look at thedame, “Do you really think that I have feelings for Sir Tristan?”
It wasPalomides’ turn to look confused, “Do you not?”
Brangaineshook her head, “Perhaps I did have feelings for him at one point but notanymore. There is someone else that Ihave strong feelings for, though.”
The knightlet out a soft and defeated “oh”, looking at Brangaine as if he wanted to saysomething but had no idea what it was. The dame sighed and reached out her handfor Palomides to take.
Palomides’eyes widened in sudden realization, “Oh!”As he gathered his composure, he gently took Brangaine’s hand and planted akiss on the back of it.
Brangainetried her best to stop her face from growing hot. “Tomorrow at sunrise,” shesaid with a smile, “Would you be interested in accompanying me to the market?”
“I wouldlove to, my lady.”
“Excellent!Then I shall see you tomorrow, dear knight.” She gave Palomides a kiss on thecheek before walking away with a smile.
#ask#I think I should just call my writing tag 'damn I hope this was good'#I haven't actually gotten to read/watch and media with Palomides or Tristan so if anyone has any recs...let me know!#I was scared this would be too ooc but then I realized that it's arthuriana and no one really has a distinct character#I did so much research for this because I wanted it to be good#hahahaha
