Thanks for the tag @abomination-unto-nuggan (several weeks ago now… oops)

A couple months ago, @outofangband sent me a Silm ask in which I talked about my headcanon that Nellas has magic forest powers. That got me thinking, and then I started writing a fic about her. It’s split between scenes with Nellas and her friends, Lúthien, Nimloth, and Galadriel, and the aftermath of the second kinslaying, where Nellas rescues Elurín and Eluréd. It’s currently about 40k words and I’m getting close to finishing. Thank you @outofangband! I’m excited about this fic and it wouldn’t have happened without you.

Anyway here’s a snippet!

“Nellas?” Eluréd said in alarm as she buried her face in her hands. “What’s wrong?”

“Are you okay?” Elurín asked. 

“I’m okay,” Nellas said. “I just miss my home.”

The boys nodded seriously.

“I miss my home too,” said Eluréd. “I miss the castle. It was really big, and we liked exploring it and finding new things.”

“We liked watching the marchwardens practicing,” said Elurín. “In the courtyard. They would duel each other and it was so cool to watch! We wanted to try, but they said we were too little, and one day they’d teach us. But one time, Mablung gave us some wooden swords and let us fight him. And we won!”

“I think he let us win,” said Eluréd.

“Yeah but we still won!”

“And exploring the city too,” said Eluréd. “We got to see a lot of stuff. Like we would visit the blacksmith’s forge, or the wood carving place, or the bakery. One of the bakers gave us some cinnamon rolls. I really liked that part.”

“I miss my room,” said Elurín, his eyes lighting up. “We had two rooms but they were right next to each other, and they had a secret passage going between them. It wasn’t really secret, but we called it a secret passage. I had a bed that had a CANOPY. Which is like a roof for your bed, so it’s kind of like this tent! Except it was fancier. And I had all my stuffies on my bed too. I had so many stuffies! I had my bear stuffy that was my favorite. And I had a sheep stuffy and a llama stuffy and a dinosaur stuffy and a bunny stuffy and also a puppy dog stuffy.” 

“I had stuffies too,” said Eluréd. “Our mother made stuffies for us sometimes. I liked playing with them. And we had pictures painted in our rooms. Trees on the walls, and stars on the ceiling. We got to help paint them. We got to put our thumbprints on the walls and they made them into bees. So there are bees on the wall made of our thumbprints. And,” he added excitedly “There were windows in our rooms with little seats next to them. We put pillows on the seats, and you can sit there and look out the window down into the courtyard and see everyone. Or you can sit in the window and read. I love my room.”

“And Naneth and Adar and Elwing,” said Elurín. “I miss them.”

The tears were growing thicker in Nellas’s eyes. When she went to wipe them off her cheeks, she found they had frozen.

“I’ve lived in the forest all my life,” she told them. Her throat was too tight to say more than “I never thought I would leave it.”

Elurín nodded. Then he said “Do you need a hug?”

She was startled by the question, but she nodded. Elurín crawled into her lap and wrapped his arms around her. Eluréd burrowed against her side, and she pressed her head against Elurín’s and put her arms around them both.

…

She still had a little material left over. It probably would have been smarter to save it, make it into bandages or something. Instead, she glanced at the children and started making more marks.

After another hour or more, she had two lumpy, roughly round balls of cloth, filled with grass and sewn shut. She’d then marked little smiling faces on them with charcoal, and sewn on her best impression of an ear. They had four legs that were nothing more than long strips of cloth sewn on, since she really didn’t have enough space or time to add stuffed legs. They looked more than anything like white potatoes with weird ribbons growing out of them. They were not soft; in fact, the grass stuffing poked you if you tried to squeeze it. There was no distinction between the head and body. They had to be the worst stuffed sheep anyone had ever made. But she’d made do with the materials she had, and she wanted the children to have something that reminded them of home.
