One more drawing based on a stress-relief doodle from a work meeting.
The death of Fingon. This scene is so terrible and emotional(at least makes me emotional) and once again, I couldn't find enough artwork that captures it. So I made one myself. Also here, I wanted to make light that looks like tree-branches ♥
"To [Elrond's] surprise, Celebrimbor really does just allow him to sleep, giving him those touches that are so generous, so casual. And he wishes for nothing in the morning. And still nothing that following night, and the night after that, and the night after that, save to ask the question: 'would you like to be held tonight, elincë?' to be answered yes or no, and when the answer is yes (it always is, Elrond cannot lie, it always is, but Celebrimbor asks twice to be certain he is telling the truth) to hold him, read one of his books while he idly strokes Elrond’s hair, and lets him rest. "
Hi. I missed writing them. And this was one of those parts of Partake that I daydream regularly about and decided to finally write down. Originally I skipped over it/summarized for pacing reasons, but I've been Thinking About Them lately and also just...early Partake!Elrond hits a little differently now that I've put him and Gil on the page more together. So I wanted to get back into his headspace and really explore more of that opening-up phase, so to speak.
I just got to thinking that there's no way that first night went smoothly lol. Each chapter is a stand-alone ficlet.
This fic has way more to do with To Partake than it has to do with Rings of Power, and could probably be read on its own from a Silmarillion perspective, just like To Partake, with the understanding that Elrond and Gil-Galad have had an incredibly toxic relationship for quite a while, and Tyelpe is helping Elrond recover. <3 <3 <3
Anyway this is incredibly self indulgent. :) I hope you guys enjoy. I will likely write more of the nights when I feel like it. But for now, here's the first one.
This is also an informal gift to @crumbling-toast and @metatomatoes because without y'all this fic wouldn't be the same. I'm forever so grateful for all the cheerleading you do and the way you guys pick up on every little thing I try to slip in. It makes me so so feral <3 Thank you!!!
