Part 07: A Heady Fragrance of Honey by Eilinel's Ghost
Fanwork Notes
That it was returned, he did not question. He could look back now and see everything arranged in its full image, he could trace the careful dance they both wound through this past year; every word, every silence, every touch ringing through with that steady truth. How had he been so blind?
Springtime has come to Estolad. Finrod is struck with a realization he has been avoiding and faces the decisions that lie in its wake.

Still anticipating this to be at least a 25 part series because I do not know how to be remotely normal about these two. Thanks again for bearing with the slow burn.
------
As always, I am so very sorry to write YET ANOTHER piece that includes paragraphs featuring three separate individuals named Balan, Baran, and Belen. Please do, in fact, blame Tolkien entirely for this and pay close attention to everything between the B’s and N’s.
With that in mind:
A QUICK EDAIN PRIMER for anyone who doesn’t obsessively carry the Bëorian family tree around rent-free in their heads:
Balan: the Atani chieftain later known as Bëor
Baran: Balan/Bëor’s eldest son
Belen: Balan/Bëor’s second son
Original characters: Estreth (sister of Balan's deceased wife), Avina
