Medium Dawn Felagund of the Fountain

"Toys in the Hall" was written for the 2010 Remix Challenge on the archive Many Paths to Tread. The story remixes Levade's story This Ereinion, which explores how Círdan must have felt upon learning that he was to foster Fingon's young son, Ereinion. My remix looks at this same situation from Ereinion's perspective, drawing on a detail from Levade's story in which Círdan realizes exactly what he's into when he discovers that his young charge has left the normally tidy hall strewn with toys. Here is the summary of my remix:

Young Ereinion once sent his father Fingon to bed for a week with a poorly placed toy and learned much about his father as a result. Now, with Fingon dead, his people at war, and his world upended, Ereinion tries a similar tactic to learn something about his new foster-father, Círdan.

The story is rated solidly General with no warnings aside from my usual penchant for taking a lighthearted story and making it dark and dreary.
