silwritersguildIn my post about Fingolfin I wondered why he gave Dor-lómin to Hador, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ithilwen pointed out that it looked like a plot bunny, so I'm writing some drabbles about it. Here's the first.

"It's not fair, Daddy," said Fingon, "I spent years defending Dor-lómin, I invented the rescue mission, drove a hoard of Orcs into the sea and faced down Glaurung the Fire-drake, and now you give my realm to a mortal! What did I do wrong?"
"This isn't about you, son," said Fingolfin, "it's about Hador and me."
"But what makes this Hador fellow so much better than me? I am called Fingon the Valiant!"
"Only by the Fëanorians," snapped Fingolfin, "because you pulled their collective fat out of the fire at Alqualondë!"
"Even you said I was brave after I rescued Maedhros!"
"That might have been a mistake," said Fingolfin.
"Not from your point of view," said Fingon sulkily, "Maglor would never have given you the high kingship without a sword to his throat, and maybe not even then."
"I meant calling you brave," said Fingolfin, "I wouldn't have done it if I had known it was going to make you question my judgement about everything."
"I'm not questioning your judgement!" protested Fingon, "I simply want to know why I no longer have a realm of my own!"
"Well son, it's a little..."
"Difficult to explain?" suggested Fingon.
"Embarrassing." finished Fingolfin.

Re: Hador
Date: 2005-10-21 03:48 pm (UTC)It's rather like watching a train crash happen in slow motion. He really does put the worst possible spin on Fingon's and Fingolfin's characters, but I still feel sympathetic towards Fingon, though not Fingolfin, which is odd when they are equally bad.
have you read "Flawed and Fair" and "Strange Fortunes" by Tehta?
No, I haven't, but they look interesting. I'll read them this weekend!
