"To Forgive," for rinnor

[dawn_felagund]

These small stories are for rinnor, who said, "I'd like to see a story about forgiveness among the Noldor in Aman. Since they're an immortal people, and tribal, I imagine that social pressure would push both parties to resolve their differences, but that's my interpretation ... Whereas mortals can take a grudge to the grave, how does an immortal come to

Thank you! *Hugs virtual paper to self and departs to read*

Somehow I don't think Feanaro ever was one to forgive, if he had still been alive in the last scene he would have laughed at Nolofinwe offering a pardon - or more likely flown into a rage that Nolofinwe would presume that it is Feanaro who needed to be forgiven and not the other way around. But very much like Nolofinwe to make the first move.

Maitimo - wise beyond his years.

As always, your writing invokes a wonderful sense of place and character, it's as if I'm standing right next to them.

And if you ever get around to that novella...

I just may. It wouldn't be the first time that a gift story turned into a novella. :)

You're welcome! (And thank you for your kind comments that made me grin all goofy-like. :^D)

Now I'm pondering another Feanor!lives AU just to write that reaction between him and Nolofinwe. While my brief foray into Feanor!lives AU did make me realize why it is necessary that he die so early in the story, it doesn't completely remove the temptation of scenes like these.

Oddly, even though it has none of the "epic" impact of the first and the third, the one about Maitimo was my favorite to write. But ... thank you for the challenge! It was great fun, and the bunnies started nibbling more or less immediately, as evidenced by the fact that this was one of the first ones finished. :)

I'm glad the bunnies may have found a new home, as they can be as pesky as any of the other critters around here. They're probably very glad to find a potential victim host who might actually feed them with a real story.
