A Bit of Rope

I've just re-read this wonderful chapter. for the dunno-wath-th time.
Tears flowed - as it's right - but I've noticed a detail that escaped from me: the guard who greets the Periain at the beginning. I like to think that he is a 21-year-old Estelion, the briefly-appearing but symbolicly important Son of Hope.
I don't know how much that is possible, but... I very like to think it that way-

Glad you enjoyed it, Imhiriel- and who knows, perhaps next year will see a happier tale, eh?

Possibly not the good or happy or beautiful that was asked for... but I hope you will accept this fic and my apologies for its lateness anyway, Imhiriel.
You could say that 
! On the other hand, it was beautifully spooky 
! And when I have this idea of a beautiful Doriath in my mind (for example the one Nath gifted me with), the shudder-inducing effect of the scene you painted is even greater. So I thank you very muchfor that wonderful juxtaposition, Aruthir, and for giving me such a rare and different PoV of Doriath.

I must admit that I didn't write this story for this challenge, but then I also didn't set the Challenge to match the story 
Nevertheless, a happy coincidence, and my entry for this month is A brief doubt

Best Stories following the House of Finwë

Owner: Aeglos
- Another Man's Cage
- Such a vivid and realistic portrayal of the House of Finwe. The characters are wonderful, and the plot is great too.
- A Further Shadow Despite the Darkness
- The characters in this are really, really well-done, and has a very interesting backstory to the main plot.
- Never Speak Nor Sing
- The same reasons as before, beautifully written, wonderful, dynamic characters.
- Dream a Bitter Style
- Again, another wonderfully written, interesting story. The characters are great.
- When the Stars Smile
- Very witty and interesting, great portrayal of the characters.
- Paper
- Brilliant characters, and lovely writing style.
- The Old Ways

- The Sins of the Fathers
- First story I ever read on HA and remains to this day one of my favourites. Great characters and clear plot.
- Horses and Hounds
- House of Finarfin - great.
