In other words, I am doing Saturday and Sunday's drabble in the same post.
The first one is a cutesy, happy drabble befitting the crazy word. For the second one, I 180ed to my normal, depressive style. I must warn you for depression, angst, and a possibly upsetting (but canon) topic. Read at your own risk :)

I read your story at aff.net today, but I couldn't figure out how to comment. I am not the most computer-savvy person :) Three words: oh my goodness. It was beautiful! The love between the two of them; the passion...wow. I love the bit about Maedhros' hair, wrapped in Fingon's hands...Eru, I didn't think I could love those two anymore, but you paint them so beautifully. Thank you for sending me the link to that story :)

The Mae on Thangorodrim scene was the only one I remember coherently from my first reading of the Sil. Hence that it haunts me now, as an author, although I have yet to tackle it in a full-length story. You all will hate me then. You think I am bad with AMC? I will be pissing and moaning like you would not believe, when I get to that part of the story....
Then you will wish the pony not to slobber on me but to give me a strong kick in the rear, preferably to another planet without Internet access! ;)

Mmmm...yes, it was quite good. I have leftovers, but I don't think that sticking them on the screen in the "Message" box will send them to you. More likely, it will leave greasy marks and earn me odder-than-usual looks from my hubby :)

No time like the present! ;) I won't hate you, you'll hate me for pestering you about it though!

Dang. Oh well, I'll just have to hold out hope that something decent will be served at dinner. I'm surprised you have leftovers. With the mass exodus of muses from my general area, I assumed they booked it to your house for real food!

I'm not sure if I want to do the sections chronologically or jump around a bit. So I might do that next, but more likely, I'll do the section that follows AMC, just so things stay consistent.
Bug away :) With AMC almost done, I am going to be doing Challenge-writing until the start of NaNoWriMo.

Hehe, I wish. Feany and Nerdanel won't even perform for Arandil's birthday present. What's up with that? ;)

The Oath
In the deep and tenebrous pit Finrod waited for the wolf to return, for the two glowing eyes to appear in the gloom. None of his companions, the faithful who had followed him from Nargothrond, now remained, only Beren, son of Barahir, whom he had sworn to protect.
In the end there was no decision to make, and for the first time Finrod truly understood his uncle and his cousins. As their oath could not be broken, no more could his, despite its very different character. The eyes loomed out of the darkness, and Finrod broke free from his bonds.

Two very nice drabbles, and the second one is wonderfully angsty, but what happened to tenebrous?
The Drabble of the Day, for me, has very loose rules. I didn't use the word in the drabble because the theme was inspired by it, as was the setting.

I see. For some reason I got the impression that the word was going to be in the drabble. Perhaps because that was what you did until this one.

And the second one is one of the world's great "oh, shit" moments.
One day, I'm going to round up one of my Tolkien-loving friends and some vodka, and we will play the ROTK Oh Shit drinking game. Any time a character in that movie experiences an "oh shit" moment, you yell "Oh, shit!" and take a shot. There turn out to be lots of those moments in ROTK in particular.

you can just see Fëanor kind of enjoying the scene and Nerdanel hollering at Fëanor for scaring the poor kid witless when he's supposed to be enjoying himself.
Hehe, how true. Yes, I see him as enjoying himself too. He probably thinks the whole thing is really funny.
Meet the Feanorians, Arda's first dysfunctional family!

Irmo: Oh, yeah, him, that guy my bro had in his jail....
Yavanna: Whom we voted to let out....
Nienna: After I pled on his behalf....
Aule: And we then let run free in Valinor....
Namo: Who just killed King Finwe, by the way....
Valar: (in unison) Oh, shit!
