FIC: Beating the Bounds


FIC: Beating the Bounds

Fingon/Erestor, Fingon/Maedhros, R.

When Erestor was young, his father had shown him their family’s heirloom: a primitive map of Cuiviénen and the inland sea scratched out on deer hide in ink made from soot and oak galls, the work of his father’s father. To the east of the Orocarni was written in the ancient cirth, Here be Monsters; a warning that what lay beyond was unknown, and best left unexamined. Erestor knew, as his grandsire had known, that some things were best left unexplored. Yet like his grandsire, he pressed on in spite of this knowledge.

I just finished the story yesterday (and will leave a longer review soonish), but just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. My heart goes out to poor Erestor. The details about his craft were a delight to my nerdy, lore-loving heart. *g*
The art fits just perfectly!
