Faithful

[fernstrike]

Prompt and Path: Tyranny. Purple path.
Format: Short story.
Genre: Tragedy/Drama
Rating: Teen and up (see warnings)
Warnings: Moderate violence; Character death (it's Númenor under Sauron...so death by sacrifice, essentially).
Characters: Original characters; Isildur; Amandil; Elendil; Sauron.
Pairings: None.
Creator’s Notes (optional): It's taken me so long to get this done (ah, real life, always getting in the way), especially as it grew far beyond what I'd originally intended, and now stands at nearly 5000 words! I tried to incorporate lots of elements of the lore and legendarium, and it's my first time writing anything Second Age, so I hope everything turned out well enough. I created a lot of OCs for this - I might like to explore them more in future, as well as the Akallabêth in general.
Summary: The tenuous relationship between the King and the Elendili is coming to its breaking point. When Isildur steals the fruit of Nimloth, what follows brings the already-heavy boot of tyranny down harder upon the Faithful - especially the gifted healer, Nilûphel.
This fic is also available on AO3!

Creator’s Notes (optional): In the years since these stories were originally posted, I am sure that there are many new readers who have never encountered these stories. Some of them are the first of their kind. They are still great stories, and they are still worth your time. I also hope that some who remember them fondly will be inspired to revisit them--they are always worth re-reading, as well.
Summary: These are works from authors who are either no longer in the fandom, or no longer write in the fandom very often.
