Fanwork Notes

title inspired by "Ten Mile Stilts" by The Wailin' Jennys
I wrote this with the following silmladylove femslash lottery prompts in mind, but now that it's finished they don't really fit at all. Oh well.
Prompts:
4: The silence of a winter’s night brings memories I hold inside
6: Remember the soft light of starlight on snow
14: The silent stars go by

Awww, this was lovely and so hopeful. I love that you've woven not only cosmology but its core lesson--that nothing ends but is only transformed--into this piece. I also like your Olorin, although I'm glad that the final lesson came through Ilmare, a character we hear so little of (as indeed we hear very little of Varda, despite her professed importance!) but who must have been so important.
