Fanwork Notes

 

Yule Fic Exchange written for mrowe (Nath).  Although I really wanted to write an upbeat story, my muse just didn’t allow it.  So sorry, I guess redemption just wasn’t in the cards for poor Brushkût.  Disclaimer:  Tolkien built the sand box; I only play with the bucket and shovel that he left for me.  No money, profit or non, is made from the publication of this story.

I see this as just before the War of Wrath, maybe by several decades.  Yes, no true avenue of redemption for poor Brushkut at all, although seeing early orcish society through his eyes was a wonderfully eye-opening event for me :-)  Thanks for your comments :-)
