Shadows of Us by Artano
Fanwork Notes
This AU explores the question of what might have motivated Mîm to attempt to assassinate Finrod (mentioned in NoMe), and the fallout resulting from it within the context of a traumatized Finrod. And to spice things up, I added Mîm's original power in laying curses (mentioned in HoMe). This fic, especially the ending, is inspired by the song "Can't Catch Me Now" ; )
Glossary:
- Nulukkizdîn is another name for Nargothrond
- Felagund is another name for Finrod
