Fanwork Notes
Originally written as a gift for Zdenka for Purimgifts 2021.
Please be aware before reading that this story contains two brief mentions of Elwing's suicide attempt. It also contrasts fasts undertaken for religious reasons with not eating for reasons of grief. Please take care of yourselves.
Much of the dialogue, notably almost all Olwë's dialogue until his last address in the fourth section, Elwing's repeated wish statements, and the beginning of Elwing's speech in the fourth section, are very slightly adapted quotes direct from the Megillah as found in the New JPS Translation of 1999, as printed in the JPS Hebrew-English Tanakh, second edition. Please visit this DW post to see a version in which these cribs are bolded, if you want to be sure you know what is what -- those familiar with the Megillah will, I expect, be able to tell quite easily (and to pick out the Pirkei Avot… Purim Egg?).
The title, as best as I can fudge from ElfDict, means "tikkun olam" in Sindarin. Please correct my Sindarin grammar if you can!
