"Ruins and Silence" by Astris

[astris-eldalie.livejournal.com]

Title: Ruins and Silence
Author Name: Astris
Prompt: "On the appointed day, on the morning of Midsummer, the trumpets of the Eldar greeted the rising of the sun; and in the east was raised the standard of the sons of Fëanor, and in the west the standard of Fingon, High King of the Noldor." The Silmarillion, Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad
What if the outcome of one of the battles of Middle-earth was different? How would history have changed?
Summary: At the end of the Third Kinslaying, Elwing (presumed dead by most everyone) flees north. Twelve years later, Elros hears word of his mother's survival.
Rating: Teens
Warnings: allusions to violence (kinslayings)
Author's Notes: I most definitely plan to expand this story into a very long and involved AU, exploring the effects of this change in much greater detail. However, for now, Elros and Elwing's reunion may stand on its own.

Author's Notes: A scene from a larger work (working title Kitâbu Khazâd), set in late May 2864 when Bofur was a dwarf in his fifties; his family is making their move from the South Blue Mountains (where their home was previously destroyed) to find a new beginning in the North Blue Mountains, and this is a glimpse of their journey. Also there is a glimpse of the Durin household at the end. :)
