I think I may be obsessed with Findekáno writing letters - but this came out in a whim and, within a blink, I had it. So here it is, unpolished but done. My entry for the SWG Challenge: Naturalist's Guide to Middle-earth.

I like the idea that they found kingsfoil and it gave them a little hope, even if even the hope is painful. (And I suppose Maitimo will need so much of it later on, after the rescue from Thangorodrim, if it is to be had...)

The idea that Fingon is counting days from the Doom makes me sad but makes total sense.

Oof, there was a lot packed into this letter, wasn't there!

Their suffering on the ice, not harped on but none the less present.  And this line>> But then, no one here is in their right minds – I least of all. << oof!

Then the flower, of course - the titular element - athelas!  I love how the smell lingers and lifts them up!  Beautiful fic! <3
