Fanwork Notes

Written for art #93 for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Big Bang! Art by HeavenOnFire/gratuacuun, fic by queerofthedagger.

First of all, I cannot thank my artist enough for how utterly excellent working together went. This was such a joyful collaboration, and such stunning, stunning art that has been incredibly inspiring to work off of! You can find the piece here, and again in the end notes.

Second of all, this fic truly has been a journey and would not be the same if not for a whole cohort of people who talked things through with me, cheered me on, listened to me whine at 5 am, and so on. As such, a massive thank you to Melesta who has done a fantastic job beta-reading this and been endlessly encouraging and supportive, to Withy and Andy for talking through minute characterisation questions, and to the q&q gang as well as to Atlanta for the endless bullying, encouragement, and sprinting. It's been a blast, and it wouldn't exist without y'all. Merci! <3

Last but not least, also a big thank you to the mods for running such a well-organised and smooth event, it's been once again a great time!

There is a playlist that goes with this fic; I'd recommend listening to it in order.

A short note on the fic itself: this is neither an attempt to justify/trivialize/apologize (for) their actions, nor to turn them into black-and-white villains without any depth or humanity. That said, the story is written from the perspective of the Seven, and as such, inevitably biased. I think it goes without saying, but their actions/thoughts/etc are not representative of my own, I'm just the one pinning them to a board to poke at their innards. <3

Fanwork Information

Summary: And Celegorm? Well, Celegorm simply wants a fight, wants revenge, wants to see his debts repaid. He wants to tear that godforsaken forest apart piece by piece, one step further on the inescapable road to their inevitable end. He knows of monsters, after all. Knows how to speak their tongue, how to coax them along. His brothers, by then, are hardly any different. Celegorm wants it all to end. He cares little, now, for how they will achieve such a thing.   The Fëanorians, the Second Kinslaying, and how they all reached that point—an attempt to trace their fall from grace, from Valinor to Doriath.
