One WIP finished, Melkor only knows how many to go

[huinare]

I finished the final chapter of my shortish story, 'The Maia and Aulendili.' I'm rather pleased with the story overall.

Summary of last chapter: Saruman sees Celebrimbor, and possibly wishes he hadn't.

Curumo: Can you not.
Huin: Sry.
Curumo: I doubt it.
Huin: I drew you?
Curumo: That does not begin to make up for any of this.

Congratulations on finishing!
I like the expression on his face in the drawing.

I would like to point out to Curumo that he isn't the one being impaled on a spike. (Not that I can really complain about that, since I am also writing unpleasant things being done to Celebrimbor in one of my asymptotically-approaching-completion WIPs.)

Snarking at Maiar aside, I really like that story. After reading the last chapter, I went back and reread the whole thing to get a sense of the arc, and I think it works very well -- the "Curumo + member of Mahtan's family + Elvish technological invention" in each chapter ties it together neatly. I enjoyed the character interactions, and I like the idea of Curumo as involved with Mahtan's family -- that's not something I've seen in fic before.

Dark, yes - but very insightful.
