b2memB2MeM Challenge: B2MeM 2016: Memories. B2MeM 2012: Talents and skills (card): I30: pottery
Format: Drabble
Genre: Crack
Rating: PG13
Warnings: alleged sexual content
Characters: Varda, Nerdanel, Ilmare
Pairings: Varda/teapot (?!)
Creators' Notes (optional): Perpetrated because I badly needed to write a female teapot for Tolkien Weekly. But since I actually did have that pottery prompt in mind, I'm cross-posting it here.
Summary: Nerdanel, resident artist, meets an unusual challenge with her usual flair. But who was it who issued that challenge, really?
It was so very feminine a teapot, Varda mused. Those curves! Such an air of suggestiveness… She almost blushed to be following them with her eyes.
‘Admirable, as ever, my dear Nerdanel!’ she exclaimed. ‘Who else but you could have created a female teapot? Who except you could have come up with the idea?’ She hesitated briefly but curiosity won out over politeness. ‘Why exactly would you want to?’
‘But… You asked me to, Tintalle! Ilmare said…’
‘Ilmare!’
The Valie and the elf turned to the handmaiden, who visibly flinched.
‘Ilmare, have you been at the vats of silindrin again?’
Note: I'm applying "silindrin" here to the contents of Silindrin (the silver dew of Telperion); it seems a suitably illicit substance for a Maia to be getting into.

Date: 2016-03-30 06:12 am (UTC)I'm envisioning a teapot that is fully functional, but somehow has so much personality that you'd want to ask permission or apologize every time you make tea in it.
Whether it has as much sex appeal for everyone who looks at it or just in the eyes of Varda, I leave to your imagination!

Date: 2016-03-28 01:49 pm (UTC)I vaguely remember the "female teapot" mention on the latest T_W challenge, and I am so glad someone actually wrote a female teapot. Well done! XD

*has never heard of such a thing*
*now, absurdly, wants to see this teapot Varda admires so much...and wonders if Manwe will come down on Ilmare for getting into illicit substances, maybe send Eonwe after her, Eonwe is her brother after all*

I'm afraid I can't organize a closer look at that teapot for you!

Date: 2016-03-30 06:21 am (UTC)I wrote this very much as a one-off and if I wrote a sequel, which is unlikely, it would be more likely to be about Nerdanel because, you know, I like elves!
