B2MeM Prompts, Card, and Number: B7 was written a long time ago (Rec and Review Femslash), O72 love (Deep Thoughts)
Format: Rec and Review
Genre: Femslash
Rating: Mature
Warnings: river/tree sex. Brief mention of it in comment. Also not sure how/if I should warn for this, but complex Maiarin ideas of love that could be interpreted as infidelity but are more like polyamory and are really more their own thing.
In Fimbrethil’s case it is a little bit more like actual infidelity so perhaps tread with caution if that’s an issue for you. I’m not quite sure how to describe the dynamics. And I may be rambling warnings for something that will be seen as nothing, but I’m going with CNTW just to be sure.
Characters: Fimbrethil, Goldberry, other characters are referred to
Pairing: Fimbrethil/Goldberry
Summary: Author’s Summary: As the third age rolls on, an entwife meets a certain river-daughter
Reviewer’s Note: I suggest you read Come Back to Me I before reading my review/comment, as there will be spoilers (or at least discussion of many parts of it.) I seem to be running out of adjectives! But I really am as enthusiastic as I write, just not sure how to keep it from sounding repetitive and fake. Doing my best...
