Along Came A Spider

I am really enjoying this tale. It's got all three elements I appreciate most in Tolkien fic: goes back to the Ainulindalë itself, deals with darker characters, and presents sound philosophical speculation.
Ungoliant's role here reminds me somewhat of Shiva in Hindu mythology.

Aeärwen, this is the perfect conclusion to this story. It's one of the few stories that makes Eru palatable to me--even the Ainulindalë itself did not do that (in fact, it did the opposite). Good to see minor characters explored in a creative and compassionate way.
