Summary: Well, thinks Nerdanel. Well. It isn’t as if she has much faith in her own sons’ abilities to make decisions now, not after she spent a lifetime trying to instill independence in them and they all still followed their father into the teeth of ruin and grief.
[The fix-it fic where Nerdanel, Anairë and Eärwen sneak out of Aman to steal some Silmarils because wars don't always need to be won by armies.]
Reccer's Notes: There is so much heartbreaking stuff in the Silmarillion, so many great tragedies, some of them for good reasons and some of them for stupid reasons, as over and over again people who are capable of great kindness and wisdom fall prey to their worst instincts, to the powers of evil, to the stupid oath they swore without understanding what they were doing. And most of the wives and mothers of the people doing the stupid things are back in Aman, in safety, knowing almost nothing of what their kin are getting up to in their ill-fated quest.
This story changes that. This story gives them a voice and a chance to say, no, this is stupid, we're going to be smart, we're going to use magic and trickery and the fact that nobody expects this to save the day. And it works.
