Summary
The originals of the following pages were received in a bundle, arranged in an approximate order but bound only in the temporary fashion customary for field notes in the early 1500s. I have transcribed them for your archives, though certain elements, such as the flora pressed between some of the pages or the stains on others, are irreproducible and I have noted them accordingly. The headings are mine, and the transcription also includes my commentary on some of the more obscure points in the text as well as my reproduction of the original marginalia. Although the identities of the respective authors were evident from the handwriting in the original, in this copy I have taken the liberty of inserting indications as to their identity.
Series
- Part 2 of To Morning Through the Shadow

A delightful collection of stories, pseudo-academia, and Our Heroes getting silly in the marginalia.

I really love the building sense of something wrong, details of normal life that start to add up into ‘hmm this is now what we expect of Valinor’

Bookmarker's Notes
Ahahahaha oh this is great. M&M are so toxic and volatile and Gil-Galad’s danger boner… nice. Maedhros’ drunken lust and longing, calling for Gil-Galad’s father, drunken and inconsiderate even as he’s loving Fingon in his mind. That tender love is for Maedhros and a memory, not the real Gil-Galad who’s there. Maglor orchestrating, getting both brothers what they want while also knowing this is going to hurt the brother he’s mad at later. But also enabling Maedhros, who badly wants this but doesn’t want to want this so if he’s drunk and Maglor’s orchestrating it’s not his fault. The smut is both emotionally delicious and hot. LOL at M&M going from ‘oh you child’ to sex. I also love Gil-Galad’s description of Maglor’s Ñoldorin finery and style, the long hair dressed in jewels and the long, jeweled nails and embroidered velvet and purple silk. Elaborate and projecting an image of leisure. Maglor’s face beautific despite the hat sticking in his blood.
