Last Chapter of AMC and Epilogue

[dawn_felagund]

Well, this is it: The last posting for AMC, the final chapter and a short epilogue by Tyelko to (hopefully) bring the story around in a circle, to close the year.

The final chapter, from Nelyo's PoV, you should be aware is rated adult for sex.

I have far less to say than I thought I would! AMC is far from over; besides more stories in the series

Oh! You told me this week of Maglor's battle prowess... thank you, this really really was excellent. Oh so many things to say... but it read like a thrilling ride with a fiery... culmination *grin*

Macalaurë turns abruptly and yells, “Gah!” jumping in Tyelkormo’s direction, and Tyelkormo yelps before he can stop himself.

LOL I can so see Tyelko jumping in the air like a deer. So cute and so natural.

My mind fumbles to comprehend: the cuts and bruises on Macalaurë’s flesh; his secret meetings with Atar-but I wonder, is it real?

Honestly when I was responding to comments from you of your previous chapters, it somehow clicked, but more clicked. Foreshadowing in previous chapters. Everything suddenly made more sense :) Poor Macalaurë, I am certain there would have been days that he hardly could walk, but somehow I can see those two practising until it is absolutely perfect.

“My son Macalaurë has an extraordinary gift: the gift of a wraith. For he can fight without his eyes, by sound and feeling alone.”This sentence alone made me

Hehe, I thought of you, reading that part, with your two favorite Elves together. (As they rarely are in this story, it seems!) But I love devious!Maglor scaring his little brothers all the time. ;)

Honestly when I was responding to comments from you of your previous chapters, it somehow clicked, but more clicked.

I was wondering if people were making the connection...or at least wondering about Macalaure's strange injuries and sudden affection for his father.

Poor Macalaurë, I am certain there would have been days that he hardly could walk, but somehow I can see those two practising until it is absolutely perfect.

Me too. :) And I think Macalaure is probably prouder of that than the actual performance, that he can hold his own--"survive" so to speak--against Feanaro. *huggles Macalaure*

*then hands him back to you before you are forced to take drastic measures* ;)

And without hesitation my mind plunges into the sewers ;) Hmmm Maglor and blindfolds

But I love devious!Maglor scaring his little brothers all the time.

I recall in a previous chapter (must be somewhere before chapter 20..) that even though it sometimes scares Tyelko, he loves his brother for telling him scary stories *grin* I think those two have an unspoken brotherly chemistry between them.

I was wondering if people were making the connection...or at least wondering about Macalaure's strange injuries and sudden affection for his father.

Well I also do recall (LOL, I wonder if this makes you re-read your own chapters again) that a while back, that Macalaurë, Nelyo and Fëanor were swordfighting in the woods (while the little ones played with wooden swords and this is pre Vingarië), that once Fëanor forced Maglor to fight with swords, he found his special way to fight with this weapon. I think at that moment things started that resulted in this asskicking sword fight! Dayum Maglor! Wuv ya!

*then hands him back to you before you are forced to take drastic measures* ;)

Nah, hugs are fine... *snogs Maglor*

I've

Holy, this whole blindfold thing is completely distracting!

I meant: that once Fëanor forced Maglor to fight with swords blindfolded, he found his special way to fight with this weapon.

*rolls her eyes*

I remember this part too! (And after 350K words, remembering what I've written is often an issue! :^P) Nelyo recalls how Macalaure is so easily defeated in swordfights with their father, how he is often hurt, and how--recently--even Tyelko can nearly beat him. Feanaro puts on the blindfold as an exercise; Nelyo does meh but Macalaure really rock 'n' rolls. And so it begins. :)

I think I wrote this part, actually, after rereading that. I doubt I would have remembered it on my own!

Well you wrote a year of this family... in 52 chapters, a year has 52 weeks... So I say: this was meant to be :) Very full circle!

Okay, now I feel daft because I totally did not think of that

LOL Nelyo doing meh, just fiddling a bit with the straps of his bracers, shrugs a bit and suddenly goes woa! Now taht is a visual *grin*

Well with this epic...
