Murmuration by Himring

Fanwork Notes

This is just a bit of nature description and quiet bonding, in reponse to a location prompt from Dip the Ladle challenge.

As it stands the prompt fill is complete, but it occurred to me that an earlier ficlet idea I had had about Idril could work as a second chapter here. If I go through with that plan, the second chapter will be a lot angstier and the rating will go up.

This was my image prompt:

The piece refers briefly to my recurring OFC Pengyl. All you need to know about her here is that she has local knowledge of Nevrast, because this is where she grew up (she is Sindarin).

This fic is little a little holiday!(vacation) So vivid, the lake sounds carrying through that magic evening light; the calm of the water; snacks!!; and then... the main feature. What a delight! And also lovely to encounter Pengyl again.

I've never seen the murmurations in person either, but always enjoy a moment to watch recordings wren* they come my way. Thank you!
