Fanwork Notes

Title from "The Light and the Sea" by Dar Williams.

This fic is (clearly) a part of my Steampunk Númenor series, but it functions as an AU from the perspective of the series.  It is left deliberately ambiguous/unclear as to whether it also functions as an AU from the perspective of canon.

Many thanks to Aprilertuile for beta-ing!

THIS IS SO GREAT i love nimruzimir and lilóteo and their debate on light i’m rooting for them to figure out they’re both right. nimruzimir has no clue what’s going on and that’s SO valid of him. he doesn’t want to be a prophet he just wants to argue about philosophy!!
