When the Phoenix Cries by

Fanwork Notes

This fic was written for the following prompt: "Don't worry, you're supposed to bleed the first time," feat. Ar-Pharazon/Mairon. The first chapter can be seen as a different standalone fic in and of itself, and largely consists of explicit noncon (hurt/no comfort). Subsequent chapters include references to and brief depictions of historical noncon, but do not include it as an onscreen, contemporaneous event.

This fic interprets Númenor as a volcanic island. Were it to be destroyed onscreen, its downfall would be attributed to a massive volcanic eruption.

This fic features the original characters Lilóteo and Nimruzimir from AdmirableMonster's wonderful Númenor-centric fic, "The Fates of Man." Many thanks to BloodwingBlackbird for the beta!

Content Warnings: In addition to those already listed, this fic includes what may be seen as detailed descriptions of internal and external anatomy, including descriptions of injuries. It also includes depictions of human(oid) decomposition, inclusive of insect activity. Sequelae of trauma are depicted throughout. Finally, if you may find it difficult to read content which features sympathetic depictions of characters that have perpetrated abuse and general harm to others, up to and including violent sexual assault (SA), this may not be the fic for you. Please take care of yourself and exercise discretion as appropriate.

In general, thoughts and attitudes may be shown which do not reflect those of the author. Content should not be viewed as prescriptive with respect to real life.
