Creator’s Notes (optional): I've been meaning to write this story ever since I saw James Turner Mohan's sketch "Out of the Sea I am Come". B2MeM finally gave me the impetus to do so. Also written with the "Hidden Figures" challenge and Legendarium Ladies' April in mind, inspired specifically by an old prompt from 2017, Shipwreck on the Rossbeigh Beach by Eric70. Also also vaguely inspired by Peter Gabriel's song Here Comes The Flood.
Oof, that's a lot of preamble for a short story.
Summary: Vëandis, formerly Lady of Andúnië, has been shipwrecked in Middle-earth. Now she and the other survivors of the Downfall have to find the strength to carry on.
