Broke: Tristan and Isolde as tragic, romantic, passionate couple fighting all odds. Woke: Tristan and Isolde hating being caught in their love via a potion and being terrified by what said potion is doing to their mental stability and what this instability drives them to.

An idea that has been around my mind is that while Isolde and Tristan were in the forest, Brangaine married Palamedes. In my story, the love potion ends up fading and Isolde goes back to Mark, whereas Tristan is made to go to Brittany...except he still wants Isolde, and the whole Kahedin happens... EXCEPT, when Isolde is like "Brangaine, you should sleep with Kahedin", Brangaine is like "I'm married with Palamedes and I may be pregnant, fuck off"

Tristan, stringing his harp: I love you bitch Isolde&Brangaine: Oh my God Tristan: I ain't never gonna stop loving you Tristan: Biiiitch

Isolde: You love Palomides, don't you? Brangaine: No, what makes you think that? Isolde, remembering last night where Brangaine embraced her, nuzzled her face in her neck, whispering tender promises of love to Palomides: A wild guess.

Coming back to your idea of Tristan playing wingman for Brangaine, I propose the following: Pellinore, T. and Isolde all play wingman for Palomides or B. They probably don‘t coordinate their efforts and probably don‘t know about each other either. They most likely even get in each other‘s way. For added hilarity, T. swore to P. he wouldn‘t tell anyone about his feelings for B., not even I., and I. swore absolute secrecy to B. as well, (1/2)
