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.
On the eve of the Fëanorians' exile to Formenos, Fingon tries to convince Maedhros to stay.
prompt: black, brother, home, evidence
For a moment, I thought he would hit me.
In the liminal space between the territories of our fathers, his home and mine, I laid out all the evidence as he had taught me, stitching pieces together with rhetorical threads until there stretched before us the black truth: His father was no longer right. Sane, if you will. And he should not follow to Formenos.
I softened my case (as he’d taught me) with fraternally connotated words: brother and bond and love. Love.
But he lunged at me, grazed my tunic, before his arms fell limp.
And, wordless, turned away.
