Isildurchil Dithen, Chapter Nine: Enter Aeärwen - by Kaylee Arafinwiel

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

B2MEM Challenge: Young Faramir (5-15) is tired of being second best to his brother. He's tired of being belittled and punished for small things. He's tired of his father not understanding him. He's especially tired of his brother always having to protect him. He runs away. Does he make it out of Gondor? Does he ever come back? What happens to him in the end? If he comes back, why does he? Was it in vain; will anything change? It's all up to you.

Also, alternatively, how does Boromir feel about this? Does he miss his brother? Will he search, and/or obey his father? Will he help Faramir overcome it?

"We are learning to make a fire." (I didn't take this as literally as I might have. But the "fire" of revolution is coming...)

Format: Ficlet
Genre: Family, AU
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Mention of Denethor's madness, kitten cuteness
Characters: Denethor II, Hurin of the Keys (as a child), Gondorian OCs, and a kitten

Creator's Notes: This is the continuation of "Isildurchil Dithen". Chapters Prologue-8 can be found either at AO3 or on this Livejournal, but the end of Chapter Eight is reproduced here to help things along.
Summary: Mallor, the young guard who let Captain Targon escape with young Faramir, was condemned to die by the maddened Steward. But when Captain Haldorn was commanded to execute his nephew - could he perhaps find another way? And with news of Faramir's flight, just how long will Dol Amroth be content to remain removed from the coming storm?

Unity
"And it seemed at last that there were two musics progressing at one time before the seat of Ilúvatar, and they were utterly at variance. The one was deep and wide and beautiful, but slow and blended with an immeasurable sorrow, from which its beauty chiefly came. The other had now achieved a unity of its own; but it was loud, and vain, and endlessly repeated; and it had little harmony, but rather a clamorous unison as of many trumpets braying upon a few notes. And it essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but it seemed that its most triumphant notes were taken by the other and woven into its own solemn pattern."
