B2MeM Challenge: 2012 BINGO Bash (Women of the Silmarillion: "Women who survive"). Also covers the Passport to Middle-earth prompt for March 19/ Rivendell: "Write a story or create a piece of artwork centred on meetings or reunions."

Format: Ficlet

Genre: Drama, if something so short qualifies for any genre at all

Rating: General

Warnings: Allusions to canonical character death

Characters: Galadriel, Finarfin

Pairings: n/a

Creators' Notes (optional):
Very heavily inspired by GoldSeven's painting All the others, gone.

I just dug this out of my WiP folder, polished a few sentences and otherwise posted this as I'd left it, four years ago. Why I didn't post it back then is beyond me. *shrugs*

Summary:
Having set up camp in Middle-earth to prepare for the War of Wrath, Finarfin has the most important meeting of them all.
