It's so important that Nienor refers to Turin as "twice beloved". Love wasn't supposed to be here, it's painful that's here, but it's here anyway and she doesn't deny that, and that's makes everything even more painful, she's feeling things that no one was ever supposed to feel. She's glad he died without knowing the truth and not marred. So she can take all the burden of knowledge by herself. That's not what happens because fate isn't so merciful, but that's how it goes from her point of view. Her last words aren't of hate, but of love, and that's an unfathomable tragedy

“Hail, Niníel.”

Late submission for @tolkienwomensweek, Day 1, ‘Companionship’. Had this idea for a while and thought it was cute. She should’ve had the opportunity to at least meet Gurthang!

White River

for tolkien women’s week: day 2 (curse) @tolkienwomensweek

summary: Niënor’s final thoughts.

warnings: major character suicide and mention of unknown incest (not graphic but heavy implications) (sorry this is just the plot of children of hurin it’s unavoidable :/)

word count: 110 (sorry next fic will be longer!)

read it on ao3!

Níniel stared out over the open waters which crashed beneath her. As she watched, she knew her whole life. She was not Níniel — Niënor, she was, sister of Túrin, wife of Túrin. The knowledge closed her throat and wrapped itself around her head, vines pushing her towards the white river. Niënor did not weep, as it would make no difference. As she fell, hands seemed to reach up from the deep of the swirling water and catch her, pulling her far down into the riverbed. Niënor Níniel was written on the stone they placed there. Simple resolutions to problems which spanned time and space, life and death. She never knew.

What if Nienor survived the plunge into Cabed-en-Aras? After all, her body was never found...

Or even more speculative still, what if she did die but the Valar sent her back to Middle-earth as a spirit of protection and hope to those who struggle against the shadow of Morgoth/Sauron's evil? After all, in the early versions of the legendarium, Turin was prophesied to defeat Morgoth in the final battle... What if Nienor had some role to play as well?

But as for Niënor, she ran on into the wood, hearing the shouts of pursuit behind; and her clothing she tore off, casting away her garments one by one as she fled, until she went naked; and all that day still she ran, as a beast that is hunted to heart-bursting, and dare not stay or draw breath.

Tiny Nienor is looking for someone.

Even though Tolkien was a Catholic, he ended up writing the ultimate proof of why abortion needs to be accessible: the fate of poor Nienor Níniel.
