This fanwork is a work in progress.

Chapter 1

Yep, I wrote a slashy sonnet. (Actually I'm not the first person to do that for this couple, though I'd have to go find the other one. XD) I actually ended up quite liking this...now I want to do a response one back from Fingon.

I love sonnets, I feel like they're a perfect little poetry package. <3

Read Chapter 1

I met you as a child with plaited hair,
And wildness that I soon grew to adore.
Your ringing laughter echoed through the air
In joyous days when we did not know war.

Just when we felt our future was assured,
I lost you when our haven turned to black.
Through fire, ice, and shackles love endured-
You cut me out of hell and brought me back.

Since broken on the battlefield you lie,
What of my soul remains is now consumed
By guilt, for though I left you there to die,
My heart with yours will ever be entombed.

Without you, dearest cousin, lover, friend,
I may live on, but I will never mend.


Chapter End Notes

No flames, please. If you are adamantly against non-explicit mentions of slash (oh noes), please keep it to yourself or don't read.

If you liked it, please leave feedback. :)

I like it! It is tender and heartbreaking without making Maedhros chewing-carpet insame. Some day I am going to write the story of Maedhros at Unnumbered Tears and realizing that Fingon has been felled. Thanks for sharing.

(Don't worry about flames for slashy poetry here--we have a Dragon that breathes industrial strength flame retardant. Not that he has ever been needed.)
