shoulders stiff under the weight of farewell

What a great description. This is so full of emotion.

Thank you!

I'm still surprised by how many dwarf feels I had after watching the movie. :D

I like when you post things here so I can tell you I read them on your Tumblr and loved them! This broke my motherfucking heart. In all the best ways.

[liptonrm]

So happy to break your heart! You know I love to do it. ;-)

You convey so much weight and sorrow in this; very moving piece.

the grave of all her hope
Really fabulous phrase.

Thank you so much!

What a beautiful portrait of Dis after the book--proud and strong and unyielding. The way she locks her emotions up and turns to her forge, her fierce pain, makes her link to the House of Durin so plain and clear. Painful but gorgeous.

Thank you! Pain and angst was definitely what I was going for so I'm glad it came through so well. Poor Dis, left all alone.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
