Woman meets man in four 100-word drabbles.

(The first in my Hildórien to Beleriand series exploring the ancestors of Adanel and her brother Magor, from whom came many of the Edain heroes of the first age, as well as the Peredhil.)

This is a collection of true drabbles completed for the 'Four Words' drabble bingo card.

After a few minutes, though, he heard an answering voice. He looked up, falling silent. That had sounded like—but no, it couldn’t be. Eärendil saw movement on the path again, just the top of someone’s dark head coming up the last slope toward the tower.

Four true drabbles from the perspectives of Maglor, Eärendil, Elwing and Elrond, vaguely connected by the state of being six (years old).

For the marriage of the Eldar, what is "not wholly unwilling"?

“This is not the way of the Eldar.”

“It’s mine. Am I not one of the Eldar too?”

It was winter, and the sunlight that came into the caves was cold and pale, but Rían still sought it out, bundled up in all of the furs and blankets that they could give her.

The Queen of Faery takes a little light trip down memory lane.

In Valmar, after the Darkening and the Flight of the Noldor, Indis receives a visitor.
