Descendents of Finwë Part 17: Aegnor

Oct 27, 2005 13:45

There is so little in the Silm about Aegnor that I decided to post his piece today as well, for a sons of Finarfin double-bill.

You never hear too much about Aegnor, so it was interesting to read this piece.

The fandom needs more Aegnor fangurls.

Re: Aegnor ellfine October 27 2005, 18:12:00 UTC

I agree. We need for Aegnor stories, too.

Hmmmm. Now you've got me going on another idea. Rats! It's too bad I've committed to this NaNoWriMo thing, but I think I can continue to write "Bliss" and do NaNo at the same time. Now I want to put Aegnor and Angrod into "Bliss".

I reckon Aegnor's seriously unwriten. Sure, in the Silm we don't hear about his tragic ill-fated love for a mortal, but to me any elf who can appreciate a mortal girl that much needs lots of love from we writers.

Maybe we should start a fan club?

Now you've gone and hooked the bunny even tighter to my leg.... ;)

I've been wanting to write about Aegnor and Andreth for some time now!

I have a couple of fics about them part done, they are a fascinating couple more so probably because they didn't marry.

I've always thought while Finrod told Andreth the truth, she didn't find out everything and I've stuck to a theory that part of Aegnor's problem was panic. That he was the first elf to fall for a mortal and what the heck happens now? Panic, and being male. I'll just go away and so will this problem! *grins*

dawn_felagund October 28 2005, 14:06:20 UTC

Lol! Sadly, though, being as she was mortal, this is pretty much what happened.... :-/

I've always wished that this story was developed in The Silmarillion. You have all of these beautiful Elven women falling for scruffy mortal men, willing to forsake their immortality for them and all that, and the one instance of a male Elf becoming similarly overcome gets bumped out of the story.

I so totally swoon for the Athrabeth. Totally. I cried while reading it, and I didn't even cry in LOTR, and only once in the Sil, when I was reading up on all the Feanorians for research purposes and suddenly realised how tragic the whole lot of them were.

*fangirls*

Yes, It's all so sad - and there really wasn't anything (except Elven philosophy) to stop Aegnor and Andreth from getting married anyway!
