"Discovering Love," for enismirdal

[dawn_felagund]

Eni asked for grown-up Maedhros, Maglor, and Fingon (with a slash pairing if I/they wanted it), with one happy moment and one naughty-but-nice moment (het or slash), with a cameo by a bumblebee and extra points for the inclusion of a bowl of cherries.

Whew! I think I managed all that!

I am giving this story an adult rating for all that naught-but

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!

And an enormous thank you! That made me smile and sniffle and gush and it was wonderful! Beautiful and perfect and incredibly sweet and wow, you even managed the cherries! Huzzah, hooray, and just...WOW! Naughty, nice, and ends just perfectly!

*huggles more* Wonderful way for me to start my Christmas Day, thanks!

And now, off to bed or Santa might just pass me by! :p

[dawn_felagund]

Thank you! :^D Happy Christmas to you to, although a bit late.

wow, you even managed the cherries!

But of course. 'Tis easy for a confectioner to imagine bowls of cherries sitting around everywhere. (I've had a tub of brandied cherries in my refrigerator since early November!)

*huggles more* Wonderful way for me to start my Christmas Day, thanks!

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. :)

And now, off to bed or Santa might just pass me by! :p

I hope not! (And I hope also that he treated you very well!)

“I think that they love each other. And so it is not my place to judge. For if Maitimo’s choice in loving Findekáno is as my choice in loving you, then I know that it is granted by something higher than us all-higher even than the Valar-and that its kindling will serve the fate of the world. And I dare not question that.”

If only more people felt that way, eh? *joins you in sigh*

This was so sweet and unbelievably beautiful!!!

I'm back home a little earlier than I had initially thought which is good, not only because I can have a propper meal with my family on Christmas Day, but I can also begin the marathon of reading your stories. And boy am I glad I started with this one

And, according to history, flowers kinda sprang beneath Kano's feet at some point, right?

Close, but I'm pretty sure that was Fingolfin.

Re: This was so sweet and unbelievably beautiful!!!

[ann_arien]

Mmmm... I know what you mean, but I think the book says that they unfurled their banners and flowers sprang beneath their feet. I guess, if flowers decided to spring beneath the feet of the father they would have sprung beneath those of the son as well.

But that's beside the point and of little consequence to this beautiful story.

Re: This was so sweet and unbelievably beautiful!!!

[kaikias]

Actually, on page 126 of the early-1980s Ballantine paperback version of the published Silm, it does specify Fingolfin: "...and Fingolfin unfurled his blue and silver banners, and blew his horns, and flowers sprang beneath his marching feet..." Of course, there's nothing keeping you from extending this to Fingon as well, especially if you conceive of Fingon as sticking close to his father on the march.

Dawn! Do you mean that I can do a fanfic of your fanfic like I did for Mawgy? OMG - I'd LOVE to write Maedhros/Fingon! I'm scared to write Maedhros because I don't want him to suck for you! (Um - did that come out wrong?) But Fingon is SO HOTT - I would love to write about him INITIATING SEX with Maedhros and being the aggressor! How about it?

Yes! That'd be awesome! Truth be told, being as this was my first venture into "the dark side" (aka writing slash), I wasn't comfortable with doing anything graphic. But I'd love to know what went on behind that bush.... ;^P

I'm scared to write Maedhros because I don't want him to suck for you! (Um - did that come out wrong?)

Lol! No, it came out perfectly. ;)

I'm really not picky about Maedhros. I've read so many versions by now that are completely opposite to how I see him...truth be known, I enjoy when people's interpretations differ from mine. It keeps things interesting. ;)

But Fingon is SO HOTT - I would love to write about him INITIATING SEX with Maedhros and being the aggressor! How about it?Yes! And given the characterizations in this story, that's how I imagine it would have happened. Maedhros would have been all floaty and in love--and he wouldn't have had a problem with kissing and small affections--but I can see him as being scared to

OMG, yes!!!! I so want to do this! I've just gotta finish Isil's b'day fic and somebody left me a fab review at Aff.Net for my Rúmil/Elrond fic and I really must continue that, so after I do those two things I'll get right on it!!! My New Year's resolution: stop writing so many damn WIP's!!!

Vingarië, Maitimo is as the bee to Findekáno’s flower.

*giggle*
Every girl has a garden which needs to be watered with a long hose...or a short one, as long as it works.
>;P

That was cute! I laughed. And I'm not even a big fan of Mae/Fin.

Lol! This reminds me of when I was assistant fiction editor for Bartleby magazine in college, and the fiction editor called me to have a meeting one day because she'd gotten six submissions from one guy.

Every one of them was pr0n.

She gave me three and she took three, so that we could decide if they had any artistic merit whatsoever. I mostly remember that the author named the protagonist after himself, that there was a lot of "Oooooooohhhhhh, Chris!" (not kidding, unfortunately), and he constantly referred to "gardens."

*head aches just remembering it*

Luckily, he didn't bring up "hoses" or that would have pushed me over the edge.

Weirdly enough, I had a creative nonfiction class with the guy later in my writing education. He sat behind me and told me once that I had a "wonderful command of the English language." It was a nice compliment, but I couldn't stop thinking, "Ooooooohhhhh, Chris!" o.O

That was cute! I laughed.

[tarion_anarore]

LOL! Well, I can't take credit for the hoses/gardens line - I stole it from a movie (Now & Then I think). :P

It was a nice compliment, but I couldn't stop thinking, "Ooooooohhhhh, Chris!" o.O

Hehehe!! I wonder if any of the females in his story were named after his girlfriend...and how long that relationship lasted! ;P
I do agree with the compliment though. :)
