You really captured the promise of your title for this work. It was brimming with life! So many great images and sensations, but I love this:

Carnistir is in the garden; new-returned to life, he wants to be with living, growing things, with warm dirt in the creases of his palms and the smell of green in his nose. 

I like the idea of the dead returning unexpectedly in these simple robes, it's very evocative. 

Thank you so much! I think there's a fanon that the dead are given grey robes when they return, but I kind of like the idea of the cloth not being dyed at all.

(A detail I couldn't fit into the drabbles: there is some subtle embroidery on Caranthir, Celegorm, and Curufin's robes that others don't get, because it's Miriel that makes them.)
