It’s been a very long time. Again. I know. Anyway, if there’s still someone around who cares about this fic... YAY! AN UPDATE!

Me doodling randomly in class because I can’t concentrate is fairly common.

Me doing a full ass PAINTING in class is a whole new level.

I’ll burn in hell. :D

(Also, slight spoiler for ‘The Seven Gates’ - although those who did the write-in with me yesterday on Discord might have a clue).

P.S.: Swallow your prejudice. OK, there’s a fire, but I swear it wasn’t them!

"Cloaks were, as a general rule, of versatile use. They kept one warm, shielded them from weather and attention alike, and helped one mingle with the crowd so they would not be continuously disturbed by uninteresting everyday grievances, such as taking their potions in time.The latter, especially, was true for black cloaks, as Counsellor Tyelcano had observed; and yet, it seemed that most things he had identified as general rules would not apply in Turukáno’s realm. Not here, where the very air shimmered with silvery light; not here, where needle-thin towers oft seemed to reach as high as the very mountains that encircled them. The streets of Ondolindë were full of sharp edges, hidden corners and unearthly shadows; and Tyelcano felt one of them. He did not belong here, into this canvas of pale-coloured, painful beauty.”

Maedhros frowned. “You have something on your mind.” His cousin nudged him with his elbow as if they were still children, hiding from their parents and duties. “Most incredible. Does that ever happen to you?” Maedhros watched as the remains of the old Western Tower gave in to the flames, and collapsed in a cacophony of rock and soot-smelling debris, then turned his head. “Either you can tell me,” he said, “or you can go on suffering, but with less theatrics.” “It was only a fleeting thought,” said Fingon lightly. “And, contrary to your lute-related ambitions, it was selfish.” “You have always known how to make me curious.” They waited in silence for a while. “So?” said Maedhros softly. “That thought has now been fleeting for a while, you know. Stiff and unyielding, like a grudge.” “Perhaps it is a grudge,” said Fingon. Maedhros stared into the flames. The smoke made his eyes water. “You are incapable of holding one.” “So I have thought, until the Flames.”

New chapter starring: a Most Irresponsible Orc-Hunt, Fingon’s Grudge, Fire and Smoke, The Gratuitous Use of the Word ‘Debris’, and a Cruel Cliffhanger Ending. Enjoy!

The Seven Gates, Chapter 28 - The Wrath of Maedhros

“Caranthir swallowed. “You know, I used to think that Moringotto’s biggest enemies were the Valar; and that it was the tragedy of our lives that they would do naught against his malice. And I was wrong. It is not the wrath of Manwë Moringotto should fear, Nelyo, but yours.”

“You do not know what you speak of,” said Maedhros sharply. He got on his feet and dusted his cloak off, carefully avoiding his brother’s eyes. “None of you know.”

“Here it comes again,” Caranthir sighed. “The spree of false modesty. Our Father got rash and fearless in his brilliance, and you think that beyond your naturally earth-bound way of thinking, you must as well learn the additional humility that could have saved him. Do not lie to my face! I stood with you in the Flames, Nelyo, as did Tyelcano and the rest of your household. We saw you save what could be saved of Beleriand. We all know what you are capable of; pity enough that you keep forgetting it yourself!”

My last - and belated - contribution to @gondolinweek

“The accusation hangs in the air like a question, discreet, guarded; though there is nothing polite about the wording, Lómion decides.

Still, it is difficult to tell what politeness truly is. It may as well be than one is born with it, and in such a case, twofold he is cursed: once by the blood of Eöl and again by the blood of Aredhel.”
