Fic: The Homophones Challenge: The Element of Valar
For the holiday season, I took on the Tolkien Weekly Homophone challenge, because the ambiguity of a homophone associates nicely in my head with divine ambiguity, which fits the seasonal bill for me.
Some of these work better than others in terms of illustrating the ambiguity of the Valar, and the locus of ambiguity shifts a good deal, but there's a Vala involved somewhere and in some fashion. Think of it as a conceptual 'where's Waldo/Astaldo".
Enjoy!
