Who Wins

Pre-6, Brand and Zyra have significantly more poke damage and zone control than you and Seraphine, making the 2v2 heavily unfavorable early — both enemies have long-range skillshots that punish your immobility, and your Q setup time makes you a sitting target.
Post-6, your R gives you a global threat and teamfight presence, but the 2v2 remains dangerous because Brand's R and Zyra's R can burst you before your Fishbones stacks matter.

You want to stay behind Seraphine's E shield and only commit to trades when Brand or Zyra have already used their key abilities — your best window is after dodging Brand's Q stun or Zyra's E root, then switching to Fishbones Q to poke from max range.
Never initiate trades yourself; let Seraphine's CC create the opening, then follow with W slow into sustained Fishbones damage.

Push the wave fast with Fishbones Q to deny Brand and Zyra free poke on you while you're farming — a pushed wave forces them to step up under your turret where their zoning is less effective.
Avoid extended freeze situations where you're forced to walk into their kill zone to last-hit; request Seraphine to help shove so you can take plates or reset safely.

Do not stand still to auto-attack or farm when Brand or Zyra have their CC available — your lack of a dash means a single root or stun into Brand's combo kills you at almost any point in the laning phase.
Avoid overextending for kills post-6 without vision, as both enemies have strong all-in potential that punishes greedy positioning.
