Fanwork Notes

Can be read on its own, but sort of follows from "In Light Of Dreams" (although it occurs about 100 years before) as an explanation of where Fraiwen’s dream came from. (Hers will not have been the first such dream in her family.)

Inspired by Zhie's colourful Master of Dreams, which made me think of different options and choices...

Writing the Valar feels much like attempting to represent pandimensional spaces in a two dimensional drawing. I imagine that however they actually communicate (whether it’s via words like “Greetings, how farest thou?” or colours or thrumming the threads of the space-time continuum) it would feel as normal to them as “Hi, how’re you doing?” feels to us. So this is my dimensionally-challenged approximation of these somewhat unfathomable beings in conversation.
