Resilience by Independence1776

Fanwork Notes

This was written for the Potluck Challenge and Festival of Lights. For the former, I used Four Words (ribbon, mirror, fortune, instinct) and Maglor Can't Catch a Break (Maglor in History: Witnessing historical atrocities). For the latter, I used the Hanukkah card and the following prompts: jelly doughnuts, candles or lamps, light, flame, from generation to generation.

Warning: the historical atrocity is the aftermath of Kristallnacht.

So good that Maglor was available to get at least those two twins out. 

I am glad they prospered, despite the loss and danger of their childhood.

I loved the description of the whole collection of lights together.

Aww, wandering chazzan Maglor! I really like that idea. And winding up as foster-father to another set of twins. I really like the way he quotes "one life saved is a world saved" to himself as he saves the few people he can.

Is there a reason Maglor picked Avner for his Hebrew name? It's fine if there isn't, I'm just curious about it!
