Fanwork Notes

Written for Back to Middle-earth Month 2018 prompts: “... a marching music began like solemn drums, and above the rolling beats and booms there welled voices singing high and strong.” (The Two Towers, “Treebeard”) and the Musical Terms Bingo Card, for the square fuoco (fire; con fuoco: with fire, in a fiery manner).

Also written for the femslashficlets Language of Flowers prompt table challenge: sunflower, meaning “loyalty and strong bonds between two people” and “nourishing yourself and others”.

I wrote an earlier ficlet about these characters, Because My Land is Fair, that shows them in a happier time.

Ah, the poor lost Entwives and the bare Brown Lands! One of the great tragedies in the margins of the bigger story.

I too hold out hope that even just a few of them survived, and had something to do with the good fortunes of the Shire--which, as Treebeard says, they clearly would have loved. Though how, I can't guess!

I like the notion of the two Entwives' bond . . . there is so much that can be read into the idea of the Ents as a people where the two genders go their seperate ways . . .
