B2MeM Prompt and Path: “That’s the advantage of insomnia. People who go to bed early always complain the night is too short, but for those of us who stay up all night, it can feel as long as a lifetime. You get a lot done.” Banana Yoshimoto- Purple Path.

Warnings:
Characters:  Tar-Ciryatan, Tar-Ciryatan’s wife, Tar-Minastir, Oropher, and OCs mentioned

Creator’s Notes (optional): Celepharn is the name of Oropher’s father in Emma’s and my-‘verse, and Oropher also has a brother, Vehiron.
