Hey, how have I not seen this already? Was it only posted in B2MeM and not elsewhere? You should spam us more otherwise fics will get missed by non-participants. *poke*

This is very atmospheric, and I like how Maeglin notices so many tiny details, flowers and chemical specks - he definitely lives up to his name here. Flowers and bruises and twilight - dark gothic imagery but not overblown, and I particularly liked the contrast between built Gondolin and grown Nan Elmoth.

Great ficlet & well-deserved nomination. ^^

(Reminds me, I once got a birthday fanart of Maeglin wrapped in purple cloth from Chat Noir at Silmfics in the old days. Can't be coincidence, purple must be his colour!)
