The Light is Still There by Aldwen

Fanwork Notes

A First Age story that started quite accidentally a year ago with a one-chapter battle scene and ended with more than 50 thousand words. 

I never thought I would be writing from Arafinwë’s point of view, but I definitely learned a lot about him, and I quite like him. :)

About Ingwil: he is Arafinwë’s cousin, Ingwë’s son. Instead of ‘Ingwion’ I used the name given to him in the ‘Nature of Middle Earth’, as I simply like the sound of it better. I go with the version where Arafinwë and Ingwil are both of the same generation (Arafinwë’s mother Indis is Ingwë’s sister).

About the Edain taking part in the War of Wrath – they did that. In this story, however, they do not take part in the siege of Angband but fight the servants of Morgoth in southern lands and along the coast of Beleriand.

As always, thousand thanks and hugs to Ellynn for beta-reading and suggestions that helped to improve this!!!
