Fanwork Notes

Written for SWG Amnesty - on the February | Cheesy Corn Chips challenge. Obviously since I am unwell in the head I went the exact opposite ❤️ Angst fest!

Please forgive if there are mistakes, i wrote this in some state of trance.

the quote chosen is:

“It may be confidently asserted that no man chooses evil, because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.”

- Mary Wollstonecraft

Fanwork Information

Summary:

 When Melkor approaches him it is not necessarily out of ill intents - he thinks. As Aulë’s second he enjoys a certain reputation - one that gives him the moniker Admirable.

No, Mairon does not start evil at all.

Though, perhaps it is in his nature to ever evolve, ever iterate, he is fond of empirical processes and his surroundings feel small and smothering sometimes. But Mairon laughs, Mairon cares, Mairon even loves.

And that is his own doom.

Wow, the ending took my breath away. A great study of Mairon's mind and his relationship with Melkor (I especially liked that he went to Melkor out of curiosity!) , but what a tragedy it becomes in the end. He's so alone.
