Sunlight

[altariel]

munditia kindly translated a very long review of TNES from German into English for me, so in return I wrote a sunny drabble about Faramir and Eowyn at her request. Thank you for the translation, munditia, and thank you for permission to post!

Sunlight

The first day of spring and, as if commanded by some higher power, the City leaps to life. New green unfurling on the trees, the growing smell, the bright sun warm upon white stone.

She finds him in the archives, half-buried under scrolls and the weight of the past, lost in translation. He blinks like an owl when he sees her. There is dust upon his cheek.

She kisses it away. Soon they are walking again in the garden. It is twenty years to the day since they first saw each other and the world turned from its dark side.

Thank you for the translation, munditia, and thank you for permission to post!

You're very welcome. And happy drabbles should be shared with everybody, especially on a Monday at the office. :)

I quite agree!

(Hope the title suits OK.)

That is very pretty, and made me feel like I was in spring, for a second. *happy sigh*

Everyone has been suffering from winter, so I wanted to help!

I wish all involved - commissioner, writer, readers - a green unfurling.

*sighs happily*

Because of 'the weight of the past', I'll forgive you another dusty archives.

Gosh darn it how does that dust get in there!

lost in translation I have big soppy grin on my face now. Oh, spring! If only!

I am so glad the Steward still has time to get lost and dusty in the archives...

Everyone has been sounding so gloomy, I thought I'd write something bright!

[greylin.livejournal.com]

Ah, beautiful! How lovely that we know instantly who they are, even with no names. Bright sun on warm stone sounds good right now.

I'm glad you like it :-)

Did you see that luzula recced one of your readings at amplificathon?

[greylin.livejournal.com]

Ooh, no, I hadn't seen that. Gosh! Thanks for letting me know. :) Must get some more done!

[altariel.livejournal.com]
