Fanwork Notes

Potluck Bingo prompts:

Card: From Tolkien's Verse

G3 - it whistled bitter-cold

Card: Midwinter

B1 - Huddling for warmth     

O2 - Frostbite      

I don't think any warnings are needed for the main plot, but there is reference to a canonical character death in the distant past and there are some canon-typical musings by wandering Maglor.

Stream of Clashing Ice

This is set in the early years of Arnor, after the Downfall of Numenor but before the re-emergence of Sauron.

The story features a recurring original animal character, but can probably be read on its own. More on the previous appearance of this OC in the end notes.

Your descriptions of crossing the frozen river are fantastic--and I especially love Maglor automatically starting to write music in time to the fox's footsteps! I also really love the idea of a fox deciding to more or less adopt Maglor, for reasons of its own. It's a really delightful image!

Fox!!! ♡♡ I really love this companion, whatever his own reasons may be. As always there's a lot of depth hanging off the main thread. Really enjoyed this!

I'm glad you like the Fox! 

I've partly got Saint-Exupery's fox in my head here (in The Little Prince). This fox doesn't want to be tamed and he doesn't want to be named. He wants to be his own fox, but he also wants to stay with Maglor, just not too close. And, really, that works for Maglor's own issues, too.
