Snowflake Challenge #7
Jan. 13th, 2023 08:40 pmSnowflake Challenge #7 was about interacting in the fandom. In your own space, interact with a community or a fic.
I went to my ever-growing list of "Marked for Later" fics on Ao3 and chose something from an author I didn't know well. I read a fic and left a comment. The fic I found was a true gem, so I decided also to rec it here!
The fic I read was The Unexpected Kindness of the Air by Cherepashka. It's a Silmarillion fic, gen, and a canon-divergence AU about Maeglin who survives the Fall of Gondolin (and his own fall), goes to the War of Wrath and meets there Celebrimbor and some unexpected kindness. The fic is c. 3000 words so it's a nice one-shot read, and it's very well written; Maeglin's voice feels authentic.
