Many Journeys by Elleth

Unspeakable

Prompted in moetushie's one-sentence fic meme, "Prodigal - you have given me love - therefore I to you give love! O unspeakable passionate love." Violence briefly mentioned.

It's unspeakable in more than one way: In Aman to anyone else, on the shore with the ships burning, when a stray lash from the whip cracks over Maedhros' lips and the only word on his mind like a beacon is Findekáno, when he's breathing too hard tottering out of his bed for the first time and Fingon catches him, and when they kiss - always when they kiss, tongue-tied, and there really is no need to speak.
