fanged_geranium asked for a short story that includes a conversation between grown-up Finrod and Finarfin. Actually, I ended up being seized by a rather large plotbunny on this one, and so this is the first bit of what will likely become a novella someday. But I think that the first part does well enough on its own as a short story

I feel so bad for every one in here (well, except Namo, maybe), especially Finarfin. I mean, this supposed to be bouncy!happy!cute!Arafinwe and it nearly hurts to see him this way. Poor one.
Lovely story. *gives chocolates to all protagonists*

I've actually developed quite an angsty!Arafinwe muse. I've also got a WiP novella about Earwen and Anaire's roles in restoring relationships with the Teleri following the first kinslaying, and I have quite the angsty Arafinwe then too. For all his sweetness, he faced some tough times. I would even be willing to argue that his role as King was the most difficult facing any of the Kings of the Noldor. I'll probably be skewered for that, but it's my belief! ;)

They would thank you, but their mouths are full now! :^D

Not by me! I was always of the opinion (once I've thought of it) that the whole process of picking up the pieces must have been rather ugly.
By the way I decided to join silwritersguild. And maybe I'll write a Finarfin fic after all. If only there weren't my don't-know-how-many WIPs.

It didn't occur to me until I started my Earwen novella the kinds of struggles the Elves--especially the Noldor--might have faced after the Darkening and, especially, the rebellion. And poor Arafinwe, utterly unprepared for leadership.... *huggles him*
You know, I think I have to post some of that novella or at least work on it. *pushes NaNoWriMo Elves away* Too many ideas...too little time....

Ahem. I mean, that's awesome! Welcome to the group and even if you don't get to the Finarfin fic right away...well, challenges are good forever. ;) So every month is really Finarfin Appreciation Month.

Same here, so you have my sympathies. I really don't have the time to write as often and as much as I'd like. And when I suddenly have the time my head tends to feel awfully empty.

Oops. Someone's looking very jealous right now. :-P
But I think he likes that....
You think he does? *ponders* I seem to need a new method of Noldo-punishing... ;-)
