Fanwork Notes
i am going to start uploading my fics from Ao3 here during my vacation so here's the first one!
the fic title is a quenya word i constructed using the word Helma meaning skin and the Neo-Quenya word Pellopë, meaning donkey. so, donkeyskin.
now, for warnings, i have to warn for attempted parental incest. it is not consensual, and if you have read the original fairytale know that it is more explicit than that as a guideline for the tone. there is no actual rape, but there is sexual harassment and non-consensual touching and kissing. there is also quite a bit of transphobia and misgendering, and one animal death.
the second chapter is much lighter than the first one, so if you feel the need to skip this chapter and get to the happy feelings, go ahead! i will give a summary of the first chapter on the author's note.
btw, here's my tumblr.

SUMMARY FOR THOSE WHO FELT THE NEED TO SKIP THE FIRST CHAPTER: During their exile to Formenos and after years away from Nerdanel, Fëanor wants to marry Maedhros. To avoid this, Maedhros gives him three challenges that Fëanor must fulfill before they marry: to create a robe that shines like flame, a stone that shows every color of the sky, and something that captures the light of the trees. Fëanor succeeds in the challenges, creating the Palantiri and the Silmarils in the process. Maedhros, after a short prayer where what may be Varda tells him to ask Fëanor to kill and make a cloak out of the magic donkey that the Valar gave to all the towns in Valinor, does just that. Stealing the Silmarils and a Palantir, Maedhros runs away from Formenos.
