Oh, this is just perfect! Such a lovely glimpse into their relationship, on a few levels — they're so often seen a bit in opposition between his Dwarves and her trees, so it's lovely seeing them work synergistically. I also like your description of flowing rock and bringing in the way Melkor’s destruction is once again brought into accord with the benificient theme of the Music

A beautiful and clever use of the prompt. (Which also appealed to me!)

Thank you so much! I really wanted to show Yavanna and Aule complimenting one another rather than opposing--I'm of the opinion that the incident with the dwarves vs trees is an exception in their relationship rather than the norm--and of course the richness of volcanic soil coming out of the destructive nature of an eruption is such a neat example of the Music turning from discord back to harmony.

And I must thank you for bringing attention to the prompt on the discord--I had completely missed it before!
