Is there a qualitative difference, or in the sense of finality, or irreversibility or changeability, some negative connotation, e.g. fate may be affected by future actions, but fait accompli is not?
Since there can be many shades or a broad spectrum of meanings of a word, I am trying to understand what is the intersection of the two spectra. The reason I ask this question is that I wrote a few lines of poetry which allude to many things and can have multiple interpretations. I'm trying to understand how much of a poetic liberty I have taken, and how much of it will be understood by the reader. I could just mention the lines, but it is unpublished and therefore, did not want to post it yet. I kept the question broad very intentionally so that I could see what comes to the mind of the people as the first sense of these words, but did not expect negative comments without an attempt of an answer, especially when I cannot respond to the "user" directly.
