olorielB2MeM Prompt, Card and Number:
On the Emotions card, B14 (Pain), I18 (Grief), O64 ( Horror) and O68 (Apprehension);
on the Fëanatics card, B10 (Unjust exile);
on the Mary Oliver (1935-2019) card, B11 (the rumpled sea), N45 (citizen of this fallen city) and G51 (light wrapping itself around us);
on the Person vs. Self card, B14 (crippled by worry), N32 (doing the right thing (when it’s really hard)), N45 (overcoming trauma) and O64 (fear of failure);
and on the Tolkien Quotes card, I16 (We also are daughters of the great, and we have wills and courage of our own) and I24 (It reminds me of the roses of Imloth Melui when I was a lass).
Format: Short Story
Genre: Drama
Rating: Mature-ish
Warnings: Some upsetting content, mentions of death (animal and human), and suicidal ideation.
Characters: OFC (Elendil's unnamed wife), Elendil
Pairings: Elendil and his wife, technically, but it's not exactly at the forefront.
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.
