Author : Himring
Fandom : The Silmarillion
Rating : PG
Characters : Finduilas (daughter of Orodreth); also mention of Gwindor
Disclaimer : Finduilas, Orodreth, and Gwindor are Tolkien's characters, but no details are known of Finduilas' early life.
Spoilers : None, except for a bit of foreshadowing.
Summary: Finduilas, princess of Nargothrond, considers the question whether she ever had a rebellious phase.



Finduilas remembered the time she had set off to walk on her own to Ivrin, in the middle of the winter. Nothing, she was sure, could stop her—had not her father and his siblings successfully crossed the Helcaraxe? In an unwatched moment, she had dashed out into the snow. Not that she had got very far, before she realized maybe such expeditions needed a bit more preparation! Gwindor had found her and brought her back that time. He had not even told on her.

She had done all of her rebelling early. Later, the stakes had grown too high.

A/N: I combined this prompt fill with a "Never Have I Ever" drabble game on the SWG Discord, in which I had been challenged to write on the subject of "teenage rebellion" for my chosen character Finduilas.

I love this! there's such a great contrast between youthful high spirits and later acceptance that life is now too dangerous for rebellion.

Your description of rash youthful belief is lovely!
