Caranthir Romance Drabble Day!

[dawn_felagund]

Because I have more people I want to write for than there are days in December, some days will necessarily have multiple pieces. Today is such a day. Today is Caranthir Romance Day. Because I sometimes honestly believe that I am friends with Caranthir’s most passionate core of fangurls, I usually end up giving stories about him the most as gifts.

Oh classic! Punto for Haleth. Hehehe.

A woman scorned.... ;)

I've no doubt that she tops more than him too. >:^]

[tarion_anarore]

*snerk* Indeed.

Hey, do I get another First Comment Award? :)

[dawn_felagund]

What, do you want him to slip some tongue this time? >:^)

I know that the drabbles with Carni and his future wife were supposed to make me thoughtful and grave, but I swear I couldn't help giggling out loud when I read about them dressing in each other's favorite colors and being all silly about it. Loved it to bits.

As for Carni/Haleth... to this day, I remain reluctant to even reading stories about them. Of course, I am reading those written by the talented people on my f-list, but I can't see Carni and Haleth together. Just can't. Even if it's pretty dam hot how she catches him off guard and presses the knife he thinks so primitive against his bare skin. (Yumm!)

Hat's off to you for another batch of great drabbles.

I actually did mean for the Carnistir/Taryinde to feel a little awkward and silly. Carni in Felakverse isn't the most socially graceful Noldo, nor is Taryinde. I think you read my longer romantic comedy "When the Stars Smile" that I wrote for Tarion last year?

As for Haleth/Caranthir...I know that you can't abide with Elf/Edain pairings. ;) I actually do tend to like this one only because it's not beautiful-Elven-woman-falls-in-love-with-irresistible-mortal tripe. Somehow, males Elves and female Edain just work better for me. Dunno why. :)

But thanks for reading, as always! :)

Oh! I love the way how you captured Caranthir's voice in both works. The first one he's young and insecure, in the second one he's marred by life already and it is the young, eager Haleth who wants to explore everything. I really loved Caranthir & Haleth: there is this natural chemistry between them that sizzles of the screen here. With the first story, it's cute and youthness of both is there, but there I sense more the natural way on how elves perceived finding a mate (as if it was a given), but with the second piece Caranthir knows now that outside Valinor: nothing is a given. Greatly written *nods*, let me know when your stuff goes up at FF.net, I have you on my alert list, but for some reason those pesky things don't arrive. I want to add these fine works to my C2 (best Silmarillion stories) :)

Thank you, Rhapsy, for your kind words! I'm so glad that people are reading and enjoying these ficlets. Sometimes, I fear that I post so much that you all must be tired of me and roll your eyes when you see, "Oh, geez, Dawn's posted another story...." :^P

(Though with all these novels I'm writing, I have a feeling that I'll be quiet for a while. But...ai...it just occured to me that they'll all be finished at the same time too, most likely. Damn.)

Anyhoo, this series of ficlets is up on the Pit of Voles, proving that the alerts in fact do not work. ;) But here is the url:

And thank you for adding me to your C2! I noticed that the other day (not that I check my stats weekly or anything like that *shifty look*) and am really honored. :)

Haleth/Caranthir is not really canon.

But... but it is! *pouts* ;)

Apart from that: *squeeeee!*. Thank you soo much for this, you really made my day! :) ♥ And I can soo totally see Haleth doing that. See, that's why I keep telling guys to never underestimate a woman. ;-P

I also adore the other drabble-series.

“It is easy to match clothes in the morning,”

Mwahaha. Actually, when I want to look good but have no nerve to waste time on my outfit I usually wear all black, too. Because I think it looks instantly rather elegant. I do so at the moment, for example. ;)

Ah yes, it's a good thing my birthday is in June... this way I may have a story by you every six months...

*hides*

:-P

You're welcome! I'm glad that you liked them! In the Carni/Haleth, I was trying to show his pride and her more subtle abilities. He doesn't really "get" it until then. That's why I called it "The Lesson": They both have something to learn!

(But mostly him. :^P)

And I wear black all of the time. For one, I am very fair-skinned and blond, so pale colors tend not to look well on me. Secondly, like you said, it is just an easy, elegant outfit. Actually, I wear all black so much (as does my boss) that he used to joke when I first started working there that the reason we were getting on so well was because we both knew how to make black look good. :^P

And Carni's point about the stains is well taken too. Today, I decided to wear a white shirt, and at dinner, I naturally dipped a boob in black bean-garlic vegetarian "chicken," so now I have a stain in a very inconvenient place!

Ah, that sounds a lot like me... Last summer I wore a light green shirt when I went to have a pizza with my dad and ended up covered in tomato sauce... ;)
