Why this must be read:
If the Professor had written slash, this is what it would look like. No, really. This was exactly as tragic and heartbreaking as it should be, considering the events surrounding the Kinslaying and the War of Wrath. This is breathtakingly wrenching stuff, but subtly so. Some people have told me that they find reading The Silmarillion too dull and dry (and oh so confusing -- why so many names for everyone, Tolkien, why?), but I'm always breathless with the sheer stupid nobility of it all and usually tear up (particularly at The Battle of Unnumbered Tears, appropriately enough) while reading it. This story? Felt like that. So much understated grief.
Also, read everything this author has written. Jdav has a gift for writing poetic prose.
