A Day for Revelry by Himring
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.

Read A Day for Revelry
Gil-galad looks out on the dawn of the festival of Nost-Na-Lothion. It clearly is going to be a beautiful day. The sky is blue, and in the east the coming sunrise is already painting it the colour of plum and peach blossom.
It is the first time they are celebrating this day in Lindon. Survivors from Gondolin have reported the festival was a tradition there. This year, Lindon has finally begun to prosper enough that such a spring festival seems desirable and feasible.
Things are coming together, muses Gil-galad, the remains of fractured communities fusing to become a whole again.
Chapter End Notes
Nost-Na-Lothion is mentioned in The Fall of Gondolin. It is translated as "Birth of Flowers" and associated with revelry of children in the text.
