Fanwork Notes

Posted first in February 2025. Part of my attempt to crosspost my Silm works to the SWG.

Fanwork Information

Summary:

They speak as if they have not been sending messengers to keep each other informed of what was necessary. As if this—war, strategy, cold facts—is not all they have exchanged ever since Maedhros had removed them East.

He wonders if Maglor has forgiven him yet—for giving away the crown, for not asking him first, for coming back someone other than himself. He wonders if he has forgiven Maglor yet—for leaving him to Morgoth, for looking at him returned only with horror and guilt. For not forgiving him yet.


They have not spoken in twenty years. Maedhros doubts that this is the kind of reuniting that their uncle had in mind.
