Jubilee by polutropos

Miriel is such an interesting character and I love thinking about what she may have been like before she was a mother. But yes, the focus of this is Elwe and Thingol, whose friendship I also tihnk is so underexplored and tragic! 

Oh gee, I hadn't even been thinking ahead to the drowning of Beleriand when I wrote this, that's sad :( (However, I also choose to believe a different fate for this scrappy little plant, since it does look from the maps that a good chunk of Thargelion remained above water!). 

Hahahah I was trying to think of a phallic fruit that wouldn't be totally out of place in First Age Ossiriand (bananas and cucumbers didn't seem right...). Thanks for your comments on these wee ficlets!

Thank you!

Thank you! I feel a lot is made of Maglor's loss of the Gap in the Bragollach (including by me) but hear little said about Caranthir's loss of Thargelion in the same war, so I was inspired to give him a bit of attention for the prompt. I also had that headcanon about him being once interesting in plants nestled somewhere in the back of my mind. 

Kids will be kids, no matter how remarkable their ancestry and unusual their upbringing!!
