Tale of the Phantom Ship, by Zdenka

B2MeM Challenge: B2MeM 2012 Bingo, Card: Crossover I, “... with a story from your country” (N38)
Format: ficlet
Genre: het, frame story, folktale, crossover/fusion
Rating: G
Warnings: original character death
Characters: Original characters, Erendis
Pairings: OMC/OFC
Creators' Notes: Yet another WIP that I didn’t post at the time! I should call this a fusion rather than a crossover, I suppose. The story is loosely based on the poem “The Phantom Ship” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who states that he derived it from an incident recounted by Cotton Mather.
Summary: The women of Erendis’s household tell each other stories on a rainy day. (Or, a tale from New England retold in Númenor.)
