Glorfindel before the battle. I don’t know if I remember this correctly, but I feel like the House of the Golden Flower was in the second wave of defense during the fall. It must be hard to be held back when you know your comrades are dying.

(Lol I went back to fact check this and it was actually Ecthelion who was held back. Oops)

Happy New Year! I hope all the wishes you make under the stars come true :)

Last Line Tag Game

I was tagged by @ecofutural and @gaydhros, thank you so much! <3

I've been back to jotting down notes and titbits for the marinating War of Wrath longfic, so have this titbit of Finrod that I just marked down (I don't usually outline this much, so will this actually be used? no one knows, least of all me, but here we are 🙂‍↕️🫶)

"It does something to you, to be in his grasp. I tore a wolves' throat out with my teeth, Finno—have you ever known me to do such a thing? And I do not regret it. Life or death, survival, it does not matter; not when a part of me, deep down, has to admit to have liked it. That, that is the most damning part. It is what my father understands not, and why those holy Vanyar look at us on the battlefield the way they do. You have seen it, too. There is a reason we all left, Finno, and it burns, still. I am afraid it will now ever do so, eternal, righteous punishment."
