Fanwork Notes
Title: Not Too Bad
Author: Eärillë

Challenge: Geography of The Silmarillion: Alqualondë
Summary:
Everything had changed, and not necessarily for the better. Not even the very look of their new settlement was familiar to his sight and soul, but Lindarion was not about to complain – not too much anyway. He still got most of his family intact, and it was all that really mattered.

Not Too Bad
The new dwellings stand in neat rows along the shore, adorned with pearls and gems and draperies. They are of stone-work, tall and stately, especially the “important” ones.
They are alien to me.
In our homeland, we lived under the stars and hid under the trees when it rained. No roof, no wall, free.
In the Faring Isle, each family built a small hut for themselves, made of branches and leaves, wherever they would.
But here…
Atar looks at me, smiling meaningfully. I nod. Yes, at least I have my parents and siblings, one familiar aspect in this foreign land.
