Fanwork Notes

Worldbuilding I decided on just for this fic: among the Eldar, cutting hair = sign of mourning, shaving hair = sign of social transgression/disgrace. Bon appetit.

Thanks to outofangband for the beta and editing help. All mistakes are mine, and nobody else can have them.

This story is Maedhros-centric and deals with heavy topics including but not limited to: canonical (and dubiously canonical) character death, grief, trauma, compulsive behavior, and various other Maedhros-typical mental health issues.

Chapters: 2/3
