Fanwork Notes

Inspired by The House That Fingon Built by Himring.

Inspired by Brown Haired Man by busymagpie.

This story is inspired by the works of two other writers/artists whose work I love so much:
The first chapter invokes a scene from a wonderful Russingon comic by Busymagpie on Tumblr.
The last chapter is inspired by Himring's 'The House That Fingon Built'. One of my all-time favorite Russingon writers.

I am using all Quenya names in the first part of the story, as the characters themselves would have called each other.
Turno - Turgon, Finno/Findekáno - Fingon, Nelyo/Maitimo - Maedhros, Írissë - Aredhel, Findarato - Finrod, Makalaurë - Maglor

Names of the Valar mentioned:
Ulmo (lord of the waters)
Irmo Lórien (master of visions and dreams)
Oromë (master of the hunt and all creatures of the forest)
Yavanna (lady of all growing things of Arda)
Elentari - Varda (lady of the stars, Queen of the Valar)
Súlimo - Manwë (master of the winds and air, King of the Valar)
Namo - Mandos (keeper of the dead in the Halls of Mandos)

Rochallor - the horse Fingolfin eventually rode when fighting Melkor and died of a broken heart after the King's death. He is supposed to be a horse that reacts to the emotions of the rider. We know the host of Fëanor took Valinorean horses on the boats to Beleriand, some of which were later given back to Fingolfin as part of the reconciliation. I am taking a leap here with the horse, just for fun, and because I like epic horses.
