Fanwork Information

Summary:

Word of Morgoth’s latest endeavour reaches High King Fingolfin's court in Hithlum, and Fingon the Valiant eagerly rides to Ard-galen to investigate. Of course there is a one-handed, red-haired ulterior motive … Thankfully his Aunt Lalwen, the High King’s sister, comes along to keep things in check.

Story complete: the tale of how Lalwen came to accept Fingon and Maedhros.

Oh! You're conveying the oppressive atmosphere of the impending storm and the horrid discovery of the burned messengers very effectively. I could almost imagine the stench, too!
I love the idea of Lalwen as an expert biologist (and Fingon her student!), and I love how she is aware of the natural dangers brought by the storm, while she has no idea (yet?) what they're up against. Looking forward to the next chapter!
