I wrote this for Slide #127 for the Tolkien Summer Big Bang
I got the pleasure of writing for this absolutely gorgeous art which you can find on AO3 and on Tumblr - this art had me in a chokehold the moment I saw it and I'm thrilled that I got to write for it!
Thanks to my lovely artist for listening to me ramble about the guys while I tried to figure the fic out; to Mona & Kilian for cheering me on; to Anna(Robots) for being an awesome beta, and to everyone who regularly sprinted with me in the TRSB server for being so dang nice and encouraging. And of course, last but not least, thank you so much to the mods, I've had a blast doing this!
Fic title is from Light Of Love by Florence + The Machine
There is a playlist for the fic as well that can be found here on Spotify or here on Youtube - it is meant to be listened to in order!

Summary:
“He is my brother,” Ñolofinwë says once more, willing her to understand. “He is half of me. What is a fëa worth if half of itself is gone?”
Ñolofinwë is scared that if he takes all that his brother is, and unravels the braid, takes out all of the love, winds what’s left back together — he is so terribly afraid that it will turn into a bitter hatred so dark and violent it may finally rival his brother’s.
He cannot risk that. He cannot. Better to die with love in his heart than live and become an angry, bitter version of himself.
Or: Ñolofinwë begins coughing up flowers and Fëanáro learns that hatred does not erase the duties of a brother.
