Missing Thargelion, by Himring

Author : Himring
Fandom : Silmarillion
Rating : PG
Characters : Caranthir, son of Feanor
Disclaimer : Caranthir, Thargelion and Amon Ereb are all Tolkien's, but this drabble is set firmly in Himring 'verse.
Spoilers : This is set after the Battle of Sudden Flame, so for the outcome of that.
Summary: Caranthir, driven southward from Thargelion by the Enemy, builds a stronghold on Amon Ereb.

Nineteen months later, Caranthir found himself missing fiercely the gleam of light on the surface of the lake, how the breeze sent little waves across the bay between the arms of the mountain. He missed….

It did not bear thinking of. There was nothing he could do about it. Not yet.

He lifted another stone, fit it into place. At least, the construction had made good progress. They had worked hard and fast. These walls would be higher, stronger than any he had built in Thargelion, a bulwark for the Sons of Feanor in the South when Morgoth came again.

A/N: This drabble came out an insta-drabbling session.

I want to give him a hug...

Good to hear Caranthir has your sympathy! Thank you!

Aw, for being homesick.

I suppose he wasn't there all that long, by elvish standards, but it was one of the most beautiful places of Beleriand and it may have been the first place that felt like his own (rather than the whole family's).
(Also, in my 'verse, he had to leave behind a significant other but that is, intentionally, barely hinted at in this drabble!)

Double misery for leaving a S.O behind!

I love this! His pain is still so raw.

Thank you very much!
