    Ages pass for Anairë, yet neither her husband, granddaughter or children return.
    Her heart is empty and broken. A proud nís, now no more.
    But she heals, and having her family back - old and new - certainly helps a lot.

     

    Written for Tolkien Elfmas.
    Part 2. in the series.
    Have fun reading it, and happy holidays everyone! :)

    Summary

    “I don’t regret it,” says Aredhel quietly. “I have a son from all of this that I would never have had otherwise. I had a life that I would never have had otherwise. It was painful and it was short and it ended awfully and it was mine, mine in grief and mine in glory both.”

    [Aredhel returns to life, but finds that her son is nowhere to be found- not in the Halls, not in Lorien, not in Aman, and certainly not in Beleriand. Her search for him leads her to reconcile with family she hasn't seen since the Darkening, to fight with the Valar that she once abandoned, to rescue the kin she swore never to abide, and to defy the evil that once slaughtered her father, but Aredhel's never been one to back down from challenges, whether they be her raging mother or a rampaging Morgoth.]

    Summary

    “Wish freedom for me, if you must offer me something,” says Aredhel, and rises, ignoring the blood staining her gown and the pain. “But not love, and certainly not duty!”

    [Aredhel travels to Beleriand, to Gondolin, to Nan Dungortheb, and back; but she never quite finds what she wants. Somehow, she learns to live with it.]

    Summary

    Aredhel didn't truly love the gleaming white of Gondolin that tried too much to be like Tirion, and felt like a bright cage; but her new home in Nan Elmoth grows darker over the years, shadows gathering close around her.
