Too Strong a God by The Wavesinger
Fanwork Notes
For swilmarillion for the tolkiensecretartexchange Silmarillion-themed Secret Santa. I combined two of your requests, and I hope you don’t mind!
Warnings for some referenced (but minor) rape and homophobia.
And acknowledgements: the title is from Orpheus’ song in the Underworld to get Eurydice back in Orpheus and Eurydice, because I’m obvious like that. A lot of credit for Vaire’s characterization goes to Dawn Felagund’s essay What the Valar Reveal About Gender Roles in Tolkien’s Legendarium. And the post-Mithrim scene owes a lot to the last chapter of Lipstick’s Talking Hurts.
I hope you enjoy this, swilmarillion. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
