Fanwork Notes

For the Bollywood Challenge.

My prompt was the song Chaiyya Chaiyya (lyrics | video)

I specifically took inspiration from the lines:

"She walks like dewdrops

Paradise seems to move with her feet

At times on branches, at times on leaves

I search for her traces in the air"

Warnings for:

The Silmaril causing Eärendil to go blind.

(Being so close to bright light for so long is bound to leave a mark.)

Ilmarë is gender-queer and uses ae/aer pronouns (originally, because I was testing to see if I like those pronouns for myself as well, but I liked them so much for Ilmarë as well, so it's a thing now in my fics)

Ooh, Eärendil and Ilmarë, and Ilmarë acting as his eyes. What a fascinating concept, and beautifully written. Ae is probably helping to relieve Eärendil’s loneliness. It’s good that he still has those memories.

I think I probably adopted the idea of Eärendil going blind from somebody, but I don't know who it was anymore. I wrote about it for the first time for Scribbles & Drabbles 2021, so maybe it was part of the art prompt?

I just feel like having something of that power level permanently tied to your head must have some effect on you... Sorry Eärendil
