Fanwork Notes

Playing with time a little in this one, scenes in the past are italicized. The title is from a poem by Li-Young Lee called 'From Blossoms'. This was written for 2024's My Slashy Valentine.

This piece will contain allusions to masturbation (not shown) and adulterous themes.

I hope you enjoy!

Ah, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the build.

To answer your question, I'm not sure in this version of events. I think, more than anything, Turgon wanted companionship and someone who would really engage with him in his interests. Elenwë's affection for him is genuine and it's enough to provide what he was looking for. I think he's too preoccupied pursuing architecture to examine everything too closely. I'm not sure if I made it more clear or less so.

Thank you for reading and commenting. 💖
