Fanwork Notes

For the Sirens and Songstresses challenge.

I used elements from both the lyrics and the video, but extremely selectively.

Sorry, no female characters in this one.

 

Warnings for aftermath of torture and mental health issues.

I loved the interaction between the brothers - how Maglor knows exactly (by now) how to help Maedhros, rather than exacerbate the situation. Maedhros' pain and his anger at himself were so painful. I do hope the next night will be better for him. And the next, and the next...

Thank you very much!

It is very good to hear that the story captures the spirit of the song! Especially as I suspect that you might have been the one who chose it as a prompt for this challenge, to begin with, although it was Dawn who then picked it out for me?
