For @tolkienrsb 2020 - my fic collaborator is Rogercat (Nelyasun )

'But the end is always cruel - for Men,’ said Andreth. ‘I would not have troubled him, when my short youth was spent. I would not have hobbled as a hag after his bright feet, when I could no longer run beside him! '

'Maybe not,' said Finrod. 'So you feel now. But do you think of him? He would not have run before thee. He would have stayed at thy side to uphold thee. Then pity thou wouldst have had in every hour, pity inescapable. He would not have thee so shamed.’

'Andreth adaneth, the life and love of the Eldar dwells much in memory; and we (if not ye) would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end. Now he will ever remember thee in the sun of morning, and that last evening by the water of Aeluin in which he saw thy face mirrored with a star caught in thy hair – ever, until the North-wind brings the night of his flame. Yea, and after that...’

Am I the only one completely falls apart when Finrod tells Andreth, years after the end of her romance with Aegnor, how much his brother had loved her the entire time, and would continue to do so for all of eternity? When you find out that he walked away so that his last memory of her would be a good one... just, a litany of conflicting emotions. Aegnor, you beautiful dumbass.

I’m really excited to read Rogercat ’s final version of the accompanying fanfic, which should be released soon! I hope you all will read it as well
