Fanwork Notes

"It is best for me to work quietly alone. I must endeavour to be more and more retired and secret. I must not even let myself know what I do. I must never be satisfied, but look ahead." ~ Anna Jemima Clough

It's beautiful, sinister, and atmospheric. I need a translation--sorry, I am not sure what is happening here! I do guess that it is melian and ungoliant each trying to udo the others magic/webs? I guess I am not very poetic unless it is entirely obvious. But here hangs this beautiful language and no one commented! So I had to!

Thank you for reading and commenting! Honestly, it's sometimes too easy for me to get so caught up in language/description in Silmfic that I forget about plot haha. I was writing from Ungoliant's POV and trying to keep the ending purposefully ambiguous, but my thought was that this was specifically about the Girdle - Melian weaving, Ungoliant un-weaving - and it ends with the Girdle fallen and Melian captured - possibly killed, possibly swayed to Ungoliant's side somehow.
