Format: Drabble
Genre: Vignette

Summary: Pelórë says farewell to the house she lived in.

No one, comes the afterthought as Pelórë locks the door with the flame-and-star crest for the final time, will ever trim the golden honeysuckle climbing the house again: Her husband became his own executioner, following his father's standard into ruin.

The honeysuckle will overtake and envelop the house, a golden cloud in the midst of emptied Tirion. She picks a vine full of blossoms, winds it around her brow and tucks it behind her ears. The same scent drifted through her window the day Tyelperinquar was born. It is only meet that this ruin shall become a reminder of him.

I really like this -- beautiful and quietly tragic. And I always like reading more about the textual ghosts!
