~early Second Age~

Sindar perspective:

• You abandoned us in Middle-earth
• We’re stronger and wiser than you because we actually went through stuff and fought the Enemy while you sat around in safety twiddling your thumbs
• You prioritized your grudge against the Noldor over our lives
• You’re stuck up and tacky and had your brains fried by Trees and have all the same problems as the Noldor except for kinslaying
• We don’t need or want your charity

Lindar of Alqualondë perspective:

• Elwë abandoned us first, and gave up any right to speak for us or act for us
• Speaking of sitting in safety twiddling one’s thumbs while others fought and died, were you one of the Iathrim?
• Sure it was nothing like what you went through but stop saying we have never suffered.
• Sure we had some overly emotional people who screwed up then, but at least we never hunted dwarves for sport
• Do NOT badmouth the Trees
• We were trying to help, you seemed lost

tbh weak for the first time lucius, who has been a rather cold member and maybe slightly distant friend to severus, gets him something for christmas or for a birthday, and severus actually… touching him.

and no, he wouldn’t initiate a hug bc that’s Too Much, but this skinny little runt of a boy, intelligent beyond his years but ill-dressed and ungraceful, and lucius has some affection for him, but doesn’t ? dwell that much on him when they’re not hanging out

and severus staring down at this gift, and then like, reaching out, and just grasping lucius’ arm? not looking at his face, but just gripping the side of his arm for a second, and then withdrawing his hand

and lucius just stunned?? but so satisfied and proud?
