Fanwork Notes

These were originally written for Back to Middle-earth month 2011, one for each day of the month of March

There's nothing explicit here, but given the characters involved, there is quite a lot of angst

These are amazing! Very poignant and thought-provoking. I don't think I can pick a favorite, but Elrond, Turgon and Finwe's were especially well done. 

Finwe's guilt over his treatment of Feanor (and Feanor's guilt over his treatment of Finwe) was heartbreaking. No matter what he does, he's upsetting someone, letting someone down; he can't win. I like the point about Turgon having hidden for so long that there was no one left to come to his aid. And the part about Elrond and Elros and their "...bond of the displaced, whose world was never certain, whose conflicts no others shared."...wow. That's just such a great summary for their life up until they made their choice.
