lilith_lessfair

Prompts: death via the prompt generator. It might also be loosely read in terms of the March 8 prompt “the aftermath of a disaster” if one wants to read the fall of Eregion as such a disaster.
Format: Writing
Genre: Character Study
Ratings: Gen.
Warnings: Reference to canonical character death
Characters: Galadriel, Celebrimbor, Maedhros, Fingon, Finrod
Pairings: unrequited Galadriel/Celebrimbor
Summary: Galadriel remembers her cousin after his death.

She had felt the moment he’d died, at the hand of the one he’d trusted and chosen over her. She had felt it, despite the distance, as she had felt the death of her brother. She felt it as a fading of the light, a loss of it and of warmth, not unlike the days following the death of the trees, the world suddenly gone cold and dark.
