Today my story Dragon Deception was finally revealed! I wrote it for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2021, which is an event where artists submit art and writers use it as a prompt.
I’ve been super hyped to show my contribution. :D I finished it already in August and have been sitting on it since...
My story is based on a chapter in the Silmarillion, which I tweaked a little bit and added some divine intervention. It can be read 'fandom blind', without any prior knowledge of Tolkien's books.
It has a dragon… angst… drama… romance… and a happy ending eventually!
The art I chose is called "In the Wake of Glaurung" and was made by Zomburai, see below.
Summary:
Only Finduilas stands between Túrin and the doom the Dark Lord has intended for him, but before he can rescue her he must face Glaurung, Father of Dragons.
- A fix-it version of the Silmarillion events, where things don't go quite according to Morgoth's plans. :)
Pairings: Túrin x Finduilas, and Niënor x Brandir
