Eee, I love Nandolin in this chapter: so adorably awkward, awww.
:^D Nandolin is such fun! I swear, I would take just about any of my OMCs. (Vorondil in AMC....) Of course, they all demand their own stories, but my answer is always "no." ;)
And it is the sweetest thing in the world that they were both virgins until their marriage. And people say that gay men are promiscuous. Psh. Flipping social stereotypes on their heads, much? :-)
Yes, I am afraid that I am certainly guilty of this in this story. :) I think that it would be legitimate criticism made against it certainly, and I have to say that this is one detail written from--as they say--the heart, simply because it frustrates me to no end to see the stereotypes stuck on gay people. Nrgh.
Sometimes, when Feanor is talking, it is really Dawn Felagund talking.... ;)
...and one of those women was named Alissa, correct? Please?!
Of course! Did I forget that detail? (And before she pokes me, one of the others was Unsung Heroine, yes. And Tarion. Sheesh, I have a lot of Carni fans on my flist! :^P)
I love that idea -- that you will only see the marriage-thing in someone's eyes if you expect it to be there, and not if you don't.
I see this in real life, and that is where this came from. I look at cases where hospitals (for example) will not let a person visit a dying same-sex partner or the cemetery (in Massachusetts, I think?) that would not allow "beloved husband" to be engraved on the headstone of a man's departed husband...these people are so senselessly cruel, the only way I can explain it and maintain even a shred of respect and hope for humanity is to believe that these people simply do not want to see that the love between people of the same sex is the same as any other. I think of how devastated I would be in a situation where my husband was (Eru forbid) dying, and I would not be allowed to see him--or I was dying and he could not see me--and my heart breaks, and I cannot imagine denying someone in the same situation, no matter my moral opinion of their union. I suppose it's much the same as how people have committed atrocities against others--and continue to do so--by not wanting to see humanity in those different from them.
Sorry, I got a bit rantish there. ;)
I'm not normally a Feanor-luster, but... he couldn't be more gorgeous than right here.
I'm not a Feanor-luster either.... *looks around suspiciously*
Okay, yes, I think you can hear Dawn Felagund there too. ;) But to be fair to myself, I was writing it for Alina, who loves him even more than me, so I was writing it for her. Right. That's it.
Like Eressetor, I have no idea how much of it was a dream and what was really real (but I'm hoping it was real, because OMG true love).
Yay! That's exactly what I wanted! (Loves to confuse her readers, that Dawn Felagund. :^P) Next chapter is many, many more answers. (And smut too. Not that I think that anyone's reading this for such a base reason as hott m/m action. *looks around guiltily*)
