I wish more discussions on LJ led to such an output.  Maglor's life is fraught with such tragedy.  I like to see these explorations of what it could be carried into modern times. Elleth set up the whole scene nicely with Maglor scavenging under the pier.  I really liked Agelast's image of him finally casting off the silmaril: He is left swaying in the surf, the saltwater burning at the raw skin of his hands. No more mad brothers, no more mad oaths, no more stolen children.  And Himring shows us a tragic figure who is not beyond redemption through taking on yet another orphan child. 

Nice job, ya'll.

Oh, I love this.  "She was scantily dressed in frayed bath towel, her neck and wrists strung with sea shells and discarded plastic" - gosh, yes, I can see that perfectly.

 

"No more abandoned children"...of course he couldn't keep to that.

 

I love how Elvish they both still feel, even in thie time frame, and also how different they are from each other.

Oh, thank you, it's very good to hear that! That you can see her like that and that they both still feel Elvish.

Yes, and my idea is that Maglor respects the difference, although they stay together for a while.

He can't bring her up in fully Avarin traditions, not being one himself, but he doesn't try to turn her into a Noldo.
