One insta-drabble only from me this time, but it was a productive session, generally, and I enjoyed reading the other people's!
Celegorm on Maedhros and the Oath:
When I was knee-high to you, I was always accepting the wrong dares, getting into trouble stuck up trees and down pits, but you always came to fetch me. And when I was older and strayed farther, still I could send Huan for you, still you came.
This was a worse dare than any! I would never have let you stop me taking it, if you had tried. And yet I cannot help it; I think reproachfully: why you did not, why you got enmeshed yourself, why you do not save me from myself even now. But I cannot ask.

Prompt 1: I get lost / so I'll follow the light to your heart (Biffy Clyro, Space)
Prompt 2: we know we are doomed, done for, damned, and still the light reaches us, falls on our shoulders even now (Dorianne Laux, “Evening”, from: Only as the Day is Long)

Date: 2025-07-12 10:17 am (UTC)I was very tired when I wrote this, to be honest, so I was a bit surprised but delighted that it seemed to make sense to other people even as it stands. Now trying to remember what the vague ideas I had for a continuation were, because I am very tired still (or again)!
