Fanwork Notes

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

Fanwork Information

Summary:

Five tents, he counts. Two dead guards. The fire within him burns so white, he wonders if it will leave anything of himself behind. Wonders if he can bring himself to care. Wonders, too, if this is what his father had felt like when he found the innards of their grandfather’s head spilt over his well-wrought front steps.

If so, perhaps Maedhros finally understands.


Maglor is taken. Maedhros handles it as well as can be expected, which is not at all.
