Fanwork Notes

This work was created during the 2025 Jubilee Amnesty for the Words of Wit and Wisdom Challenge, for which I managed a blackout on the bingo board.  As part of this, I learned several new words and have had to use a few words in older senses to make them work.  As such, a quick glossary:

warlock: in the original sense of "oath-breaker," not a sorcerer

wruxled: ppl. wruxeled, adorned, clad;

Firstly very well done with the prompts, some of which you very cleverly interpreted and inserted. And also thank you for a lovely story, I'm becoming fonder and fonder of Lendalwed the more I get to know them.

Poor Elrond.  I feel this one so much.  Poor Pen!  :(  No wonder they're hurting.  I'm sure no small part of that hurt is their spouse not following them out if they couldn't stay in (assuming Lofar had the choice, but perhaps not?)  Oh this whole thing hurt, but I'm glad there was at least recognition and some small reconciliation at the end. <3
