Many Journeys
In her youth she [Nerdanel] loved to travel far from the dwellings of the Noldor, either beside the Sea or in the hills; and thus she and Fëanor had met and were companions in many journeys.

( Two* ) ( Three* ) ( Four ) ( Five ) For
Submissions for the Back to Middle-earth Month project at the Silmarillion Writers' Guild. It just occured to me to post something new here, and since these have not previously been shared (except in abovementioned project), I might as well put them up in this journal. On the betrayal of Gondolin. ( Betrayal ) There is rivalry between Feanor and Fingolfin. What about their wives? ( Rivalry - The Gift ) A poem in Adunaic (and its translation) on the Downfall of Númenor and what comes after. ( Downfall - Batîna (Roads) ) The disclaimer in the userinfo applies. Still. --- Nerdanel's story, and her reaction to the Silmarils. ( Stasis ) --- Of songs and joy - young Macalaurë reflects on his parents. ( Parse ) --- Young Nerdanel and first run-ins with her feelings. ( Nonage ) As always, the disclaimer on the userinfo page applies to all material posted here. --- Aulë, Fëanor and Nerdanel. A contest in three pieces of dialogue. ( Bibelot ) --- First shadows on the Blessed Realm. ( Sotto Voce ) --- Caught in Angband, Maedhros receives comfort from an unexpected source. ( Confabulation ) The next installment in the Daily Drabbles series. Like I said, I'm far behind - these are the last few to backup, all others will be relatively new. --- Nerdanel, Finarfin and Eärwen, and the aftermath of the Darkening. ( Acclimate ) --- A lesson, not only for young Maedhros and Maglor. ( Didactic ) --- Nerdanel, Fëanor and a promise. ( Betimes ) --- Nerdanel, Fëanor, and letters from Formenos. 350 words, recycled from an older drabble I wrote ages ago. ( Desideratum ) For the "Many Journeys" drabble series on SWG. This is the start of my daily drabbles, but I'm actually rather far back. The stories posted here are all inspired by the July Words of the Day by www.dictionary.com, with the WoD acting as the title. I decided to do five drabbles per entry, that way I hope I won't clutter your flist too much. --- Good Days and bad days in the House of Fëanor. ( Fractious ) --- Nerdanel and Fëanor. Estrangement. ( Carom ) --- Nerdanel, the Darkening, a candle. ( Phantasmagoria ) --- Mahtan's apprentices gossip about certain young lovers.< ( Heterodox ) --- Before I post anything new, here be backups of the stories already submitted over at SWG. These four were for the Seven in '07 Project, and some have art to go with them. None of these is all that great, I believe that most drabbles to follow are far better, so please don't be too spooked... ![]() Maedhros at Losgar. ( Losgar ) --- ![]() An AU from two POVs. Umbarto returns. ( Return ) --- ![]() Nerdanel, Fëanor, and a chance for farewell. ( Ghost ) --- ( Burned ) |
