Drabble Series for Sunday and Monday

[dawn_felagund]

“Shattered” is a series of three double-drabbles about the relationship between Fëanor and Finwë, a relationship that is characterized by a charming blend of betrayal and obsessive love and culminates in exiles, heretic oaths, and kinslaying. This series is dedicated to aramel_calawen, who understands as well as anyone the power of angsty Finwions.

but I knew-even as he said it-that had it been, he would have seen me exiled anyway

Ooh, is that true? Or is that just Feanor being kind of paranoid/"the-world-is-out-to-get-me"?

I like the second one too. :)

I get the First Comment Award! Yay!! /silliness

[dawn_felagund]

And your prize is...

A kiss from Finrod! *Finrod puckers up*

[tarion_anarore]

O.o But I might get his STDs! :P

*quick kiss on the cheek then, perfectly chaste, because I'm evil. :)*

Need I say how happy it makes me that you have a long list of friends who love Feanaro&Co? It's most delightful to check your LJ and find something about my favorite Elf posted every time.

My hands were growing hard with calluses.

Ah, not just the hands, eh Feanaro? I think that his seemingly danger-free life in Valinor hardened Feanaro more than any other Elf.

Footsteps rushing towards me and Father’s voice, “Fëanáro, I am-” The vase rolled and bounced on each step and would not break.

“-I am coming with you.”

Unharmed, it rolled from the last step to the floor. And shattered.

*gets all teary eyed*

Oh... and the second short story... O_O! *is stunned* I don't recall that you've approached these two from this perspective before. So... WOW! Putting the story in AMC verse and seeing Maitimo married... it's even more impressive. And yes, though it's dark, it's also smoldering with passion of which the short, violent exchange is but a glimpse. *loves*

I lift my fist to my mouth and lick away his blood.Am I totally sick to find

[dawn_felagund]

Just imagine a dirty-fight between Fingon and the guy in my icon.... >:^]

I seem to recall that you found hottness in "Return to Me" as well, when Namo is healing Finrod and kisses his bruises and draws back lips wet with blood?

Now, the question here to ask: Which of us is more fucked up? Me for writing it? Or you for loving it so much??

*evil grin*

I tried to inject some tasty imagery and innuendo to make the piece feel sexual, even if, taken literally, it is not. I seem to have done okay in this by you? :)

Are they both nekkid? *grins*

Eh... you just keep writing stuff like that, OK? >;)

Well, you have done more than OK by me and I bet that I'm not the only one who thinks the same... *eyes common f-list and winks*

I saved both to read for a break :)

The Finwe & Fëanor piece is packed with tension and you wrote the feeling of rejection of Fëanor incredibly well: his down to earth attitude, fake court and politics vs the down to earth and realistic vase: unpolished in it's own beauty as if that vase would remember Finwe not to think he's high and mighty of which so many accuse Feanor to be. Great parallels.

Ah oh! The second one, yes I read it, such jealousy emanating from Fingon and well he started it, claiming everything he can get. I can so imagine his fiery glare when he licks away the blood... simply great Dawn!

[dawn_felagund]

You caught what I was trying to do in the first one! *happy dance* Though I would have said that the vase represented Feanor's love for Finwe: unpolished, simple, and true. But I think that we're on the same page, which is more than I usually get when I try to consciously use symbolism in stories! ;)

And you read my slashy story? *evil grin* Granted, it wasn't graphic or particularly over-the-top in the slash department. In fact, it's possible to read it as not slashy at all, though that somehow makes it seem more effed up to me than it does when reading it as slash....

Anyhoo. /ramble Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)

[aramel_calawen]

*squee*

*can't believe she missed this*

*curses school*

Yay for angsty Feanaro! He may think the world is out to get him-- it probably isn't, but then again, maybe it is-- but his family still loves him. *huggles melancholy Elda*

The second one... why is it that I find the idea of Nelyo and his little (or not-so-little) cousin getting into fistfights swoonable? Although the suddenness with which it happened must have surprised the other guests.
