Fanwork Notes

2013 My Slashy Valentine swap request: Elven heroes of the first/second age. Particular favourites: Beleg and Mablung . . .  A heroic act, wintry weather, and an ambiguous ending.

Betas:  A big thank you to Russandol, who worked on this in the midst of a host of other cares.  Bless you.  And to Malinornë who gave me advice on Sindarin names. Thank you also to Leaf Light, Kymahalei, Kenaz, and Ignoblebard for cheerleading.
