Tolkien Meta Week Starts December 8!
Join us December 8-14, here and on Tumblr, as we share our thoughts, musings, rants, and headcanons about all aspects of Tolkien's world.
Cooking for a large family is harder than it may seem.
At the end of his life, Elros recieves an unexpected visitor.
Elrond was determined that there was going to be a record of what it was like to love the sons of Fëanor.
Sequel to Vodka.
Another conversation between brothers (Maedhros and Maglor)
Maglor comes to terms with his curse and the dark glory of Middle Earth.
In which Maglor is proud to be self confident enough to hold a grudge and refuse an offer in order to keep watching TV.
A piece of somewhat AU Maglor insanity; dark.
Approximately half-way split between Fingon x Maedhros viewed through Maglor’s eyes, and Maglor’s post-Nirnaeth Arnoediad relationship with his brother. Significant deviations from canon throughout, approaching AU in parts.
Maglor is faced with a brutal choice; to condemn his brother to Morgoth's torments, or to abandon his oath to reclaim the Silmarils. Either way, will he be able to live with his decision?
Thirty-one drabbles, each from the point of view of a different member of the House of Finwë
Only the last two Fëanorians remain and they are about to conclude their quest and fulfill their Oath. Maedhros's thoughts and reflections as he and his brother seal their fate...
The Feanorians are camped on one side of the lake of Mithrim, the Fingolfinians on the other. Many of the Feanorians would welcome the Fingolfinians, but do not dare--what action then might they take?
The back-story of Maedhros's housekeeper.
Extra double drabble added: The Bitterest North (OFCs and Fingon)
Here lies ficlets, meme responses, and things that are too short to post on their own.
Update: A young Gil-galad meets some of his kin.
Sauron was not always wholly evil, and after he was freed from Morgoth, he turned from the darkness for a while. But meeting a wandering minstrel proves too much for his newfound convictions, and leaves Maglor in grave danger. Written for Iavalir at My Slashy Valentine 2013.
Matimo hears of Findekáno's morning.
After the early victory against Morgoth called the "Glorious Battle" (Dagor Aglareb):
I. The Fingolfinians and the Feanorians first encounter each other after their shared victory.
II. Later, at the victory celebrations, Fingon misses his cousin Maglor and seeks him out.
"The deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda."
Maglor at the end of an age. The fulfillment of more than one promise.
At the Mereth Aderthad, Finrod and Maglor meet for a long-overdue discussion.
A mosaic of memories of the Elder Days
A story for B2MeM 2013, combining the prompts for archetypes, good and ill, and back to lands you once did know (days one, two and four respectively):
Maglor's wife, a Sinda of Mithrim, learns about the events of Alqualondë, and confronts her husband about his actions, differing beliefs, and the future.
These are my responses in graphic format to B2MeM 2013 prompts.
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
--Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
Young Maedhros, baby Maglor and a drawing.
Now added: a sequel about Nerdanel, her elder son and the lost drawing (Kingfisher in Flight)
