I'm sorry I took a little while in responding. Thank you for commenting! I really love the idea of the stars as consolation for the Children, and it is a concept I keep coming back to(in the very little that I have written.) 

As for the Valar "becoming" the world, I actually do think there is some degree of canon support for this concept. "But this condition Ilúvatar made, or it is the necessity of their love, that their power should thenceforward be contained and bounded in the World, to be within it for ever, until it is complete, so that they are its life and it is theirs."-Ainulindale " But mostly Ulmo speaks to those who dwell in Middle-earth with voices that are heard only as the music of water. For all seas, lakes, rivers, fountains and springs are in his government; so that the Elves say that the spirit of Ulmo runs in all the veins of the world. "-Valaquenta (Emphasis my own.)

 In my mind, the "spirit of Ulmo running in all the veins of the world," sound like he is the water, as it runs its course through all the depths of Arda. So that's really what inspired it. I suspect this is mostly headcanon, but I do feel that Tolkien's conception does contain the concept of it.

As for the Elder Scrolls universe, I know nothing about it so any resemblence was purely unintentional. I didn't really mean that the Valar "gave their existence" for the world, more that they are continually creating it and forever apart of it's being.

Thank you for commenting!

Yes, I have a special fondness for the Valier. Someting about them just fascinates me. Even the ones about whom we hear almost nothing,(I'm thinking Nessa,Este etc...) the little bit that we do here is so intriguing.

I'm so glad you appreciated the ending!

Thank you for commenting!

I really like that line too. I enjoyed writing Yavanna's perspective here, very introspective and yet with a sort of youthfullness to it.

I am so glad you found this lovely!
