New Challenge: Bollywood
This month's challenge offers songs, films, and tropes from Bollywood, the world's largest film industry based out of India, as prompts for fanworks.
Write a story or poem or create artwork featuring unanswered requests, prayers or pleas.
Prayer
Glorfindel is a generous man, or so those who know him say. Everyone knows that despite his faults, he is a good man, whose heart is not given to jealousy.
That is what his lovers say, and that is what Glorfindel likes to believe. The truth looks different.
He hides behind smiles when Idril and Tuor are blessed with a child, yet his heart aches with pain whenever he looks at them. Almost he can understand Maeglin when at last, they are betrayed.
He, too, has come to know what it means to pray for something that can never be.
