Summary: "For even after the ruin the hearts of the Dúnedain were still set westwards; and though they knew indeed that the world was changed, they said: 'Avallónë is vanished from the Earth and the Land of Aman is taken away, and in the world of this present darkness they cannot be found. Yet once they were, and therefore they still are, in true being and in the whole shape of the world as at first it was devised.'"

This podfic was posted as part of a commission-style fundraiser I am running to help my parents and brother, who have been evacuated from our family home due to the terrible fires in NorCal. As of time of posting there are five more podfics available if you would also like to support my family while we try to decide how to move forward.

Title: Please, let's go home (I love you, they said, I love you)
Author: TheLionInMyBed
Reader: chestnut_pod
Fandom: The Silmarillion
Pairing: Gen, Galadriel and Finarfin-centric
Rating: G
Summary: "In Treelight, he and Artanis had walked the beaches of Elendë, the white sand soft beneath bare toes as she splashed in the shallows and demanded he name every sea star. Upon the ragged new shores of this eastern land, they wore stout boots, for they were all torn rock and silt, and the waters colder than the Bay of Eldamar. And Artanis was Galadriel now, and if her name was softer, it was all of her that was."
