you know. I headcanon that lleu has blue-ish black hair and goewin has a warm toned, brown-ish or red-ish dark hair. why? goewin's hair is brown-ish/red-ish black because the sun loves her. it gives her the warmth and the rays of light that only ever shine on her. she is not in the cage of her grief. she is scorching like fire and beautiful like spring blooms. she is free to wherever the sun touches. her fate and her destiny decided by birth. but lleu? his hair reflects the cage of moonlight. the void of darkness enlightened only by the stars and the moon. his world limited only to the taverns of his birth. he is caged and melancholic in his treacherous state. his fate and destiny decided since birth. he is the ending where goewin has her beginning.

stop searching for a lost cause, little sister, you're heart will fall apart if you are to see the state of your brother. I know of morgause and I know of priamos, I will ensure that you will be safe, and I shall ensure you that kidane and turunesh welcome you with open arms, for you are my sister. by being my sister, you are their daughter. your eyes are hollow, and if I am there, it will only become empty.

the shrike beneath a sparrow's skin.
before that final damning act of courage and mercy, medraut had spent a day and most of a night limping on a broken knee through the frozen, bloody fields around camlan, searching for lleu. It was not three months since lleu had kissed and forgiven him his last winter’s betrayal. medraut would have given his own life to spare our brother’s. all he found of my twin after camlan was the golden circlet lleu had worn.
People will be like I love Greek mythology but I hate everything that involves incest, infidelity, violence, slavery, misogyny, undeserved suffering, questionable relationships, ethically dubious heroes and gods,and morality that is foreign to me.
