hello! I recently stumbled upon this delightful ask of yours about the tengwar, but at the beginning of it you mention an excellent feanor/nerdanel fic by lintamande. do you maybe still remember which fic you were talking about? I've been trying to track it down, but it doesn't seem to be on their ao3, and their tumblr has a lot of different small fics spread across many individual posts, and I was unable to find any multi-chapter feanor/nerdanel fic (since you said it's consistenly A++ I assumed it's a longer fic)

oh the war flashbacks i just had to being 16 and so incredibly stupid. sorry, anon, i need to take like 5 minutes to just stare at the wall and contemplate my mistakes. (i’m still pro-þ, and loudly so, but having actually taken some ling classes in the intervening six years i no longer stand by the vast majority of that specific rant. oh god. i was so fucking stupid. anyway!)

unfortunately, your actual question also does not have a great answer: as far as i can recall there was no specific fic i was talking about there. by “their fic is consistently a++” i think i meant “their feanor/nerdanel flash fics are all good,” not “there’s a single fic with good chapters.” i wish i had better news for you! and PLEASE come back if you ever have some other feanor/nerdanel longfics you’d like to rec; the state of the tag is frankly dire and i am languishing in the trenches beside you on this one.

Your art of Aegnor and Andreth with the red winged black bird 🐦‍⬛ is so gorgeous. I love those birds so much and it made me so happy to see it in your beautiful art

thank you very much! there's a lot of technical stuff i would do differently about that piece now but concept-wise i'm still very proud of it and i'm glad it was a hit with you :)

I was literally thinking about “all men will be sailers then until the sea shall free them” the other day

Your art of Míriel is so so beautiful I love her necklaces and the use of the heraldic devices
