Fanwork Notes

Written for the Queens of the Quill challenge for the prompt Breakage, by  Mary Oliver. I was also inspired by the photo Shipwreck On The Rossbeigh Beach which was a prompt for Legendarium Ladies April several years ago.

Suicide is warned for to be safe but it's a single reference to Elwing's canonical leap into the sea.

I really like the descriptions in this!

And how the shells form a link despite intervening time, tragedy and space.

One day, Elwing will get to compare notes with her brothers about the Sea, as well...
