Fanwork Notes

For the image prompt of April 8. It is described as a a rainbow gradient done with tiny chips of mosaic glass. Because it is mainly a gradient of pastel colours, it reminded me of  the sky before sunrise. The drabble also fits the word prompt of the day: mesh.

No warnings, except for hints at the canonical background.

I can’t even imagine what it would be like being in a strange new place and having to start a new life. But a festival named ‘Birth of Flowers,’ seems fitting for new beginnings.

Thank you sharing. This was lovely!

May I ask for a prompt, please?

Thank you very much!

Yes, I think the early beginnings of Lindon cannot have been easy, but it does seem an appropriate festival for beginnings.

Here is your prompt. It is a quotation from one of Tolkien's poems (only published after his death):

The shades of evening loom
Beneath the hills, and palely bloom
   Night-flowers white and sweet.

Respond to the quotation in any way you like!
