Summary
Wasn’t that how it worked in fairytales? The prince gathered up the sleeping maiden, promised to wed her, the curse was broken and they lived happily ever after. But Fili wasn’t a prince, he was a bookkeeper to a drunk carpenter, and the marriage offer hadn’t worked anyway. So his little act of valour was a failure.
In this world, the dragon failed to destroy Laketown many years ago, the King survived the battle of Five Armies, Bard is the properly elected leader of Laketown, and Fili and Kili are literally the boys next door who were raised with no idea of their royal heritage.
The lives Fili and Sigrid live are small and dull and rather damp, but at least they have each other; but the world beyond is about to come crashing in.
