Author's Note (TL;DR Version - full/long version is on AO3 because it's too long to put here)
1. Thanks to theScrap_Witch, because this story would not be even a thought in my mind without her.
2. This is a multi-chapter fic that is in progress (at the time of writing this). There will likely be long gaps between chapters and perhaps a hiatus or two. However, I’ve got a bunch of it outlined, and I care about this story, so there is a very good chance I will finish it.
3. This will be a pretty dark fic most of the time. There will be a happy ending and some hopeful moments sprinkled throughout, but it is heavy on the “hurt” part of hurt/comfort. I will list content warnings at the start of every chapter, as applicable.
Chapter 1 content warnings: Gruesome description of a battlefield of dead soldiers.
On Quenya-Sindarin names: My use of different names in this fic is quite intentional; e.g., within this chapter, I use 3 different names for Maedhros, depending on the point of view (general 3rd person narration and two different characters' points of view).
Customary disclaimer: I do not own The Silmarillion or any of the characters in it.
Also, I do NOT give permission to ANYONE to feed this into ChatGPT or any other AI, or to repost it onto another website or public platform without my consent. Please treat my work with respect.
