This is so beautifully bittersweet and unexpectedly heartwarming. :) I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing :)

Like a pastel painting, or artwork made with shells, this is very delicate and light and calming. Like sitting at the seaside. Very lovely, maybe especially because of the orc 💗

You had me intrigued with the title, but even so I was not expecting it to be so sweet. Wonderful!

Awww, I really enjoyed this and the vivid imagery it evokes throughout: the desperately terrified orc climing the mountain, that great wave, Ossë and Uinen (playing frisbee) tossing the raft, the orc on the shores of the isle, the wingildi keeping company, and the Tower (built like one of those homes I've seensome small sea creature make, long funnels of little broken bits of pearly shell).

The idea of Ossë and Uinen saving this orc is lovely, and poses questions as to the fate of the others, partialy answered later by Nienna's report in other orcs — which I love too, that the Valar are attempting to help the orcs recover, although they're not doing very well at it, which is very understandable, considering their track record of actually understanding the Children. That the Wingildi have incidentally had better success makes total sense, partly because I think they have more involvement with the folk of Middle-earth than the Valar in general, and also because they weren't trying to rehabilitate and instead just being friends, which imo works a very different magic than therapy. 

I really love this!
