Title: Fatality
Author: Dwimordene
Summary: After Osgiliath, signs of things to come. Valacar, a strange new illness, and lots of anxiety.
Warnings: You can totally tell for which paragraphs the whole story was written.
Characters: Courtesy of Aliana: Valacar, Firiel, possibly Narrator’s mom.
Rating: G-ish.
Prompts: Day 1: Judgment: “Many that die deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?” (By the skin of my teeth, really); Personal Insanity Challenge: Himring’s Valarin cults challenge, Linda Hoyland’s five words challenge (I wasn’t able to get the tabby cat, though, and the calendar is sort of implied more than anything else…)

( Fatality )

Note: 1. Valacar and Firiel come from Aliana's fantastic Houses of Healing story, Fallen. She said I could borrow Valacar. It turned out Firiel sort of came along for the ride for a little while.

B2MeM 2013: Day Sixteen

[dawn_felagund]

Below are three prompts, one from each of the three major eras of Arda’s history. To participate, choose one that sounds interesting, locate the quote in the books (that’s the scavenger hunt bit!), read the surrounding passage or chapter, and create your piece based on that.

Your piece does not need to be based on the scene from the quote. While this is certainly one approach, you could also write about a character, location, or theme found in the scene. Remember, there’s no prompt police, and we encourage creative use of the prompts!

	"If it be truly the Silmaril which we saw cast into the sea that rises again by the power of the Valar, then let us be glad; for its glory is seen now by many, and is yet secure from all evil."
	"But in the midst of the land was a mountain tall and steep, and it was named the Meneltarma, the Pillar of Heaven, and upon it was a high place that was hallowed to Eru Ilúvatar, and it was open and unroofed, and no other temple or fane was there in the land of the Númenóreans."
	"`What?' cried Gimli, startled out of his silence. 'A corslet of Moria-silver? That was a kingly gift!' 'Yes,' said Gandalf. 'I never told him, but its worth was greater than the value of the whole Shire and everything in it.' Frodo said nothing, but he put his hand under his tunic and touched the rings of his mail-shirt. He felt staggered to think that he had been walking about with the price of the Shire under his jacket. Had Bilbo known? He felt no doubt that Bilbo knew quite well. It was indeed a kingly gift."
