Fanwork Notes

For the prompts: the dark, being alone, death.

This was inspired by Fëanor in chapter 55 of The Harrowing by Chthonion, when speaking to Annatar of his childhood, saying: 'I dreamed of darkness'. (Which almost became the title, but then I was reminded about this year being the 50th anniversary of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'...)

you've framed this so well and so sadly. we all know what will happen, and watching it framed through Feanor's dreams and Finwe's soothing words just seems so sad and ironic. Parents never know that everything will be ok and yet we have to say it will be -- this, plus the amplification of these words so that they have implications on the whole world! Very well done.

'Fëanáro's response was to begin to invent a whole new system of writing'- I love him 🤭🤭🤭 I would do this in the same situation.

Also, I hate Melkor all over again.

Also, I love the last line. This was brilliant, full of furious emotion. What a little firecracker...

 

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! Yes indeed, Fëanor never does things by halves...

And re the last line - I thought hard about 'only his sons'. I wish he could have found more comfort in his family, and not just expected them to follow his lead. :(
