Help for a rusty writer!!

[kenazfiction]

Ok, so, I pulled off another round of Ardor in August/Sultry in September by the seat of my pants... however, I am drafting myself to write a pinch hit for a participant who really went above and beyond this round, and I kind of don't know where to start because I'm so fucking rusty

Sunlight on snow
quiet
prey animals (not saying if that should be guys hunting or guys being hunted)
determination.

That is a nice thing you're doing.

Oh and the end mirroring the beginning, sunlight on snow to moonlight on snow or something.

Thank you! She was a big help to me this round, so it's the least thing I can do. I've got some details from her original prompt to work in, but what I really need is an actual story idea... I am idea-free right now; I spend all that brain-space on work. So any suggestions along the line of "That time X and Y did such-and-such" or "A gap filler about scene X."

Oh my god. I don't know how to write anymore. :(

I'm meant to be working on two fics and I don't know how to write anymore either.
You want to PM me the details you have? It's easier than blindly saying "The time X and Y were almost fried by a dragon"

Though there's nothing wrong with that.

And if it's Glorfindel/Ecthelion, why not just throw in the tags I offered and what you have from her and make it a conversation up above Gondolin - both of them inspecting their people on the gates and going up higher perhaps with a patrol group, sitting up there above the world, talking?

Just throwing a few ideas out there for what they're worth in case you're still looking....

Glorfindel / Ecthelion - What about a gap filler in the days leading up to the assault? Did they suspect Maeglin's treachery? Did they learn of Idril's hidden way or make preparations of their own, unknowing? Had they resolved things between them? What if Ecthelion was torn between saving Glorfindel or another... (don't mind me...just wishfully hinting at a certain captain of the Gate of Wood... ;))

OR

Beleg/Turin - What about a gap filler for their time as lords of Amon Rûdh? Gathering the remnants of the wars in Beleriand under one banner, arguing with the petty-dwarf Mim who maybe prefers secrecy to opening up his hidden home to all and sundry, navigating the unspoken tension when Beleg returns to Turin after being unceremoniously dismissed?
