Fanwork Notes

Written for the 2023 Understory challenge.  cuarthol's heartwrenching and beautiful fic "Mercy" gave me a fun little plot bunny -- quite literally!

"Lopoldetal" is a name from the wonderful Chestnut_pod's name list; it means "rabbit foot" in Quenya.

What an ingenious twist on that scene in "Mercy"!

Your rabbit-Maia is very memorable and the telling is very effective.

It looks as if it is going to be a while before doe-Celegorm appreciates that gift...
