Thanks very much, I'm pleased you liked it.

Beautiful. Heart-wrenching in places too - just right.

[kortirion]

Thanks - a touch of melancholy for the turn of the year! ;-)

Carefully, he filled his senses, making each particle of himself sensitive to this moment, storing it away in memory…
When his eyes opened, the glitter was moonlight flashing off mail-clad backs

I love how abruptly we're also torn from the dream. All of these are beautifully done.

[kortirion]

Thanks very much, I'm pleased you enjoyed them

I already liked the first one, by itself, very much (I think those are the mountains around Gondolin?) and it's really subtle how the transition works after that and ends with that last question.

[kortirion]

Thanks! And yes, the mountains are Gondolin's, before his fall into Mandos' Halls.

It's only reviewing the last few sets of drabbles I realise Glorfindel has proved quite popular of late!
