Story: Nai Etelehtuvanyet

(This was posted in my journal and on the HASA May birthday forum on Friday, so some people may have already seen it in those places.)

Nai Etelehtuvanyet. Post-Mandos Finrod with Amárië, vignette sequence, PG. Some emotional gooeyness. This is an absolute departure from my usual style. I cannot say with any authority what came over me.

I've forgotten, if I ever knew, but who is Gilfanon? *is sheepish* The title in English is sweet, but I agree that it works better in Quenya, being shorter and all. (I'll remember the advice about Quenya hiding lame titles... I could probably rename a few of my fics in Sindarin) :)

Except when Glorfindel gets high and starts thinking about invisible Maiar - ooh, what's it called? I'm intruiged.

(Please forgive the lateness of this reply, but I've been unnaturally busy lately.)

Gilfanon is an Elf from the Lost Tales: one of the exiled Noldor who eventually returned to Aman. He's not mentioned elsewhere (that I know of). And I've done the Quenya-title-hiding trick before... It can be very handy when the story's English title is sappy.

Glorfindel getting high and thinking about invisible Maiar can be found in the last chapter of this story (http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=6682), which is a sequel of sorts to this story (http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=6515). Both are dark, character-AU slash with warnings for all kinds of things, as a preliminary caution in case you'd rather avoid that.
