The Fates of Man by AdmirableMonster
Fanwork Notes
All right, so this is...sort of? Kind of, a crossover with Dishonored. Or maybe it's more accurate to say that it's inspired by my favorite Dishonored fanfiction, The Natural Philosopher and the Nonlinear Terms, by Rastaban. You don't need any knowledge of it to understand the story, but if you do happen to know it, you may find it fun to know the inspirations for some of the main characters, who are my Númenorean spins on several of the characters from Dishonored. See end chapter notes for more, since they could be mildly spoilery.
Written for the "Rejects" Prompt: The fate of Men: "Nienna sends some to Angband, most to plains of Arvalin, and a lucky few to dwell in Valmar" (The Book of Lost Tales)
The quote "all things are in balance and so too with the fates of man" comes from Rastaban's fic. There are a couple other little allusions to it as well.
