By the Light of Roses--Chapter Eight

Last week's chapter was a busy one. We learned more of Eressetor's backstory, and he began to commit himself from leaving the temptation that is Formenos. With him, we discovered Fëanáro's stash of artwork of his wife and spent the evening washing dishes with Terentaulë, thus learning of the arrival of one whose name alone seems to disturb poor Eressetor: Ornisso.

This week, we delve deeper in Eressetor's past and learn the significance of the man that is Ornisso.

Please remember that this story is rated for adults only for reasons of sexuality and mature themes and contains slash. My thanks to everyone who is reading along! As usual, all comments are welcomed.

New Residents in the House of Felagund!

Some of you know that my laptop is called Pengolodh, Lord of Gondolin. Well, yesterday, Bobby's new laptop arrived. It shall be called Rumil, Lord of Tirion.

Of course, Bobby didn't really go for this. When prompted to give his computer a name, he typed, "JOE." I said, "Joe?! WTF is that?" Personally, I think that Rumil, Lord of Tirion is far superior.

Additionally, we spent the past weekend setting up an aquarium and now have four fish in it. The fish will be named after Feanorians. Bobby's idea, not mine. (I swear!) So far, they have not been assigned names because we are getting more fish this weekend and will see which personalities fit which fish. Although I have decided to call the featherfin catfish "Maedhros" because he's my favorite.

In other news, I have finally finished the second step of the Meryth and Talban models that I am painting for Jenni. (They are actually Elladan and Elrohir models, but Elven twins are Elven twins....) The first step, of course, is cleaning and spraying a basecoat. The second stage is to paint a gray base over top of which the color will be added. This makes the colors appear properly, for one, and also familiarizes me with the details that I will one day soon have to paint and shade.

Hopefully, next week, I'll have them colored and finished pictures posted!
