Silm-based drabbles

[wiseheart]

All right, I know I'm not worthy, but I had the cheek to actually write a couple of Silmarillion-based drabbles. Two of them, actually. The first one features Aerin, right after Túrin slew her husband. The other one features Celebrimbor, in the moment of finishing the Dragon Ring. (To the latter, knowing my story Visits in Eregion might be helpful, but not necessary.)

Anyway, the things are here:

Please, don't shoot me, I'm new to drabbling, but these pieces just wanted to be written, and who am I to resist the muse when she is finally talking to me again?

*ducks in fear*

Ohh, didn't I *say* drabbles were fun? *g* And they can be inspiring, and they aren't as easy to do as one might think.

You should post them to your LJ! ;)

BTW, I've read and adored #4-Taking Rest.

For someone new to drabbles you're doing a very good job. But do you mind very much if I pick a nit about the first one? It's Tyler's fault, not yours. According to UT Aerin did not meet her end in the way he suggests: after Turin left she set Brodda's hall afire, and presumably ended in the flames:

"They have fired the hall," said Turin. "To what purpose is that?"
"They, No, lord, she, I guess," said one, Asgon by name. "Many a man of arms misreads patience and quiet. She did much good among us at much cost. Her heart was not faint, and patience will break at the last."

Despite Tyler, though, your drabble got the main point right: her heart was not faint!

Now, I especially enjoyed the Aerin one, I felt quite sorry for her!
