… the delight and pride of Aulë is in the deed of baking, and in the thing made (Ainulindalë)

 

This is set shortly after the First Kinslaying at Alqualonde, which is its own warning, I hope.

Yes! Cake always makes things better! 

Also, that's quite the thing, to feel responsible for such awfulness. I hope Mahtan gets over that. 

Oh, poor Mahtan! It makes so much sense that he would feel this way. But it's lovely that Nerdanel can tell Aulë, who understands perfectly and is so willing to come and help him. Baking is such a good distraction - I wonder what flavour Aulë went for? :) I really enjoyed this! 

 

this made me emotional 😭 I had never thought about Mahtan seeing himself as somewhat complicit in the Kinslaying from having taught Feanor the art of metalworking, but it makes a lot of sense.  And Aule knowing how he feels!  For the same reasons!!  I hope they made a really great cake.  Thank you for writing and sharing this, what a powerful interpretation of the prompt <3
