Author: Oshun
Ratings: Gen
Warnings: None
Format: Drabble
Prompt:  March 1: He was interested in roots and beginnings… (The Fellowship of the Ring, Book I, Chapter 2)
Summary: A tiny Fëanor overly romanticizes what the dark days in Middle-earth must have been like (perhaps with dire consequences for his future).

Roots and beginnings fascinated Fëanáro. He loved the stories about Cuiviénen, with its endless forests and starry skies, how brave hunters and huntresses stalked through unknown lands, marching unflagging over mountains, and across rushing rivers and babbling brooks. Míriel had more patience for those fanciful tales than Finwë. She even made the growling noises that caused him to squeal with joy but, occasionally, to wake up later screaming in fear.

“You indulge him too much. He wears you out. Let me tuck him into his own bed!”

“No! Leave him. I feel so cold and he’s always warm and toasty.”
