Maedhros

So I have a prompt list. Several actually. And every day I write a short story based off my prompt word/phrase of the day. All of them are Silmarillion-related (dips into The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings here and there). Expect everything ranging from utterly cliche romance to mildly explicit gore and horror. No one ever said Arda was a nice place. But do note that I won't be posting any smut here. Prompts are meaningful snapshots, and unless the sex is really important, I'll be skipping it to get to the point.

"Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?” “No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing. Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”

In which the sons of Fëanor throw house parties, the beer is terrible, 20-something hipster elves act like their drama is as bad as it is in canon, and macking on cousins is fair game. 75% banter, 20% soap opera, 5% fratty humor; 100% dramamonsters. I regret nothing.

When Shadow returned to Arda marred, it fell upon a land long accustomed to living beneath a veil of darkness. The light of its people was never one so easily dimmed, you see . . . A collection of ficlets and drabbles. Next up: The survivors of Doriath, and the spring.

Fingon wanders in Eastern Beleriand and comes across a long-lost relative.Well, maybe a little bit more happens than just that...

Down: What Maedhros thought as he jumped. Out / Up: Fingon takes Maedhros home to Tirion after his reincarnation. Finarfin insists on confronting him. (Told from different points of view: Fingon, Finarfin and, briefly, Maedhros).

Even before Sauron seized them and twisted them to his own purpose, using the palantíri was always a risky business. Fingon loves risk almost as much as he loves Maedhros.

Three episodes featuring Elrond and Maedhros:* Elrond gets upset and runs away. Maedhros comes and finds him in the woods.** Elrond and Elros learn lessons and learn to pretend that is not what they are doing.*** Elrond, now in Gil-galad's camp, learns of Maedhros' death by his own means.

In Mithrim, during Maedhros’s time of recovery, Maglor appears one evening at Fingolfin’s camp and asks Fingon to return to Maedhros’s side. On his way back to the Feanorian camp, Fingon remembers the incident that made him stay away. When he finally reaches his cousin, it turns out that there was something Maglor had failed to mention. With a vignette of Fingon on the quays of Alqualonde.

Maedhros and Maglor regain the Silmarils, and much more.

Ages and ages of worrying visions, nagging fëar, and being hated/feared by every living creature have left their trace on Námo... No wonder thus that at long last he starts to behave a little... erratic. When even his wife Vairë gets concerned, the Valar decide to drastic measures...

Fingolfin has called a council and proposed launching an all-out attack on Morgoth. He expects Maedhros to be the most ardent supporter of his plan. He would, wouldn't he?

Story Summary: Written in honor of Halloween/ Day of the Dead/ Samhain and other such practices that grew out of the Harvest feasts, and/or marked the beginning of winter, the earth’s slumber. Some say it is a time when the veil between worlds is thinned, and so it is in Aman. But our favorite elf finds himself put out by his growing responsibilities as a Noldorin Prince, so much so he wishes himself a lady. Ask and ye shall receive it is said, but be wary for wishes that come to pass may not be all that is desired. The origins of this story was from a blog that requested rule 63 for Maedhros or Fingon. This is my attempt. I hope it is entertaining. *Chapter 7 fixed*

Oderen, a traveling woodcarver, one of Cirdan's people, and Emlinn, his musician wife, happen to arrive in Maglor's Gap just a short time before the outbreak of the Battle of Sudden Flame. Maglor encounters Emlinn and takes her on as his student.

Even if Fingon brings him back, it won't be the end of it.
