Title: Learning Far-sight
Author: Limyaael
Fandom: Tolkien’s The Silmarillion
Rating: G
Warnings: References to past (canonical) deaths, grief.
Prompt: 96) Anyone who says you can't see a thought simply doesn't know art. -- Wynetka Ann Reynolds. (Half-used, in a sense; the story is about seeing thoughts, but not about art).
Summary: During the desperate crossing of the Helcaraxë, Idril considers her aunt and cousin, Aredhel and Nerwen, and finds her own place between their conceptions of life.
Notes: This fic is set semi-immediately after the death of Elenwë, Idril’s mother. All characters are Noldorin Elves, in the middle of their flight from Valinor to Middle-earth. Nerwen—‘man-maiden’—was the mother-name of Galadriel.
