March 26 Prompts

[ysilme]

Here are today’s prompts:

• 2007 (t_n_b)-- Z: Like zooming around Zirakzigil


• 2007 (SWG)-- Upon the shores of the Gulf of Lhûn the Elves built their havens, and named them Mithlond; and there they held many ships, for the harbourage was good. From the Grey Havens the Eldar ever and anon set sail, fleeing from the darkness of the days of Earth; for by the mercy of the Valar the Firstborn could still follow the Straight Road and return, if they would, to their kindred in Eressëa and Valinor beyond the encircling seas.


• 2009-- Think of a teacher who played a key role in your life. What qualities about this person influenced you? Write briefly about this person: a short character sketch, scene, or conversation involving her or him. Write a story, poem or create an artwork about a character who educated his people in some way.


• 2011-- How would a character not allowed to express his or her thoughts, creativity, or opinion act out? Capture this in a story, poem or piece of art.


• 2012-- N36


• 2013 (U)-- "Thus news comes to Ulmo, even in the deeps, of all the needs and griefs of Arda, which otherwise would be hidden from Manwë."


• 2013 (U)-- "In that time Aldarion became estranged from his father, and ceased to speak openly of his designs and his desires; but Almarian the Queen supported her son in all that he did, and Meneldur perforce let matters go as they must. For the Ven?turers grew in numbers and in the esteem of men, and they called them Uinendili, the lovers of Uinen; and their Captain became the less easy to rebuke or restrain."


• 2013 (U)-- "Then the whole company began to run with the long loping strides of Orcs. They kept no order, thrusting, jostling, and cursing; yet their speed was very great. Each hobbit had a guard of three. Pippin was far back in the line. He wondered how long he would be able to go on at this pace: he had had no food since the morning. One of his guards had a whip. But at present the orc-liquor was still hot in him. His wits, too, were wide-awake."

"Maedhros Finds A Reader", by Himring

[hhimring]

B2MeM Challenge: B2MeM 2016: Memories. B2MeM 2015: Middle Earth Market-place: Maedhros and His Various Non-Elven Allies (prompt by the-disposessed). B2MeM 2012 Bingo: Love in Middle-earth card: B10: Across all the ages of Arda; All OCs, All the Time card: G46: A servant
Format: short story (c.2400 words)
Genre: gen
Rating: PG
Warnings: very mild sexual content (almost bromance-compatible); very general references to canon violence; vague allusions to mental issues;
Characters: Maedhros, OFC (Fingon's porter in Tirion), Fingon
Pairings: Maedhros/Fingon
Creators' Notes: Part of my Maedhros saga; mildly AU by some standards. Some use of Quenya names: mainly "Findekano" for Fingon; also Nolofinwe=Fingolfin; Nelyafinwe Maitimo=Maedhros). Some sections in First Person (OFC). Also, for American readers: I am using "porter" in the sense "employee in charge of watching the entrance" here (a British sense).
Summary: Maedhros has recently been re-embodied  after a very long time in Mandos and is living in Fingon's household in Tirion. During a temporary absence of Fingon's, he has been pursuing a writing project. At this point, he makes the closer acquaintance of a member of Fingon's household. (The text briefly alludes to a critical encounter with Fingolfin, which took place a little previously to this episode.)
