A Man Who Flies From His Fear May Find He Has Only Taken A Shortcut To Meet It by LadySternchen  

Flying- Huor

Leaving Gondolin is bittersweet, they have both agreed on that, but his brother has no idea how much Huor actually dreads it. Not the being gone from Gondolin, that, albeit sad, still causes his heart to dance. But it is the manner of leaving that makes Huor’s palms get sweaty and his mouth dry. Being lifted by the great eagles is terrifying by and in itself, but Huor is no coward. This is an adventure, really. But flying, soaring through the air like the birds that carry them, is his worst fear. He has borne it once, and been relieved beyond measure that it was unlikely to ever happen to him again, only to be dismayed to find that they have no other means of leaving Gondolin than the Eagles. Even thinking about it makes him sick to the stomach.
