"The Golden Dancer" by Lyra

2017-03-30T22:10:00Z

Posted by: oloriel.livejournal.com

B2MeM Prompt and Path: Red Path, "when he first stood near her and recognized her dimly through the shadows, like one who, at the beginning of the month, either sees or thinks he has seen the moon rise through clouds." ~Vergil, The Aenid
Format: Short story
Genre: Gapfiller, sort of?
Rating: General
Warnings: a Vanya doing something exciting? Also, I suppose there's a kind of male gaze thing going on, though not in the usual way.
Characters: Indis, Finwë, Fëanor
Pairings: Finwë/Míriel on the cusp of turning into Finwë/Indis
Creator’s Notes (optional): I took a turn left on the last Act of Kindness field of the green path I'd already completed, taking me onto the red. Not that I have any hopes of finishing that, but there's still some March left, right? Also fits this month's "Strength and Beauty" challenge.
Summary: Fëanor first sees Indis as she practices a traditional Vanyarin spear-dance. Fascination turns into life-long antipathy.
