A Day's Journey through Minas Tirith by Himring
Fanwork Notes
This story features an elderly woman who has mobility and vision issues due to advanced age and a textual ghost (one of Arwen's daughters).
The story also contains brief references to a number of OCs. These include adolescents, displaced and enslaved characters (place of origin suggested only), and one hint of non-literacy.
This is set in Fourth-Age Gondor and as Silmfic it is really marginal. Please bear with me; I was trying to combine more than one challenge here.
Warning for one reference to the death of minors in war.
Now with an added bonus drabble on the background of one of the OCs in the earlier fic. The bonus drabble was written for a Jubilee insta-drabbling session for a Restoration challenge prompt. For more detail and warnings, see chapter notes on the second chapter.
