More Than One Hundred Words About Maedhros by Himring

Fanwork Notes

The series as a whole is Maedhros/Fingon.

For warnings see chapter notes.

 

(Having realized that "Fingon Toasts the Stars" actually fits the "Wish Upon a Star" challenge, which has just come up again, I've now sneakily tagged it, pretending I remembered this when I wrote it.)

Maedhros ponders the question of free will

Characters: Maedhros, Fingon

Warnings: mild sexual content, mature themes.

At the time it seemed so obvious to me which b2MeM prompts and posts I was reacting to here that I didn't record it. Now I can't find them... Anyway, the prompts were none of mine.

Written for Elleth, in response to her cinquain A Moment After Rain.

The Crowded Bed

Too many, too much...

Originally written for Aliana's Bad Sex Challenge--but only sort of.

Rating: Teens

Fingon's POV

Spring Came Late That Year

Maedhros is trying, he really is. But the past gets in the way.

Maedhros's POV

Rating: Teens

Warning: mature themes

An Early Light

Gen. No warnings.

Teens

Adequate

Sometimes more is less.

Mild Hurt/Comfort (Maedhros/Fingon)

Teens

Breadth and Height

On one of the less often considered disadvantages of being the lover of Maedhros the Tall.

Humorous fluff originally written and posted (on LiveJournal) as a birthday present for Havisham (Agelast).

Rating: Teens (mild sexual content).

Fingon Toasts the Stars

Fingon, by himself, musing on the night sky, glass in hand.

Actually less than one hundred words (despite the title of the series) and also in free verse, but it seemed to fit here better than in any of the other collections.

Rated Teens on other archives, for not very tangible reasons to do with mood.

Oh, thank you! I'm happy to hear you like The Sound of Our Voices. A lot of my short pieces are fairly spontaneous, but this one was more so than most. So it almost feels as if I didn't work hard enough on it, but when I look at it, there's nothing I'm ready to change right now.

 

Ah- you  are right. I suppose I mean, more self contained - certainly not lacking passion and fire, but more thoughtful and refelctive. Your Maedhros is clearly affected deeply by Angband, as he would be. Its making me think quite a lot more about all this and you probably are the World MAedhros expert!! :)

Yes, that is more or less what Maedhros is afraid of at that moment, although he is not in a state in which he would be able to put that clearly to himself or think it through. But, as you say, he is not!

Thank you very much for your comment and I'm very glad this piece worked for you!
