    Summary

    Mairon is an apprentice smith working for his father, but despite being the most skilled of the apprentices, Aulë refuses to teach him how to enchant his projects. When a mysterious man appears at his forge offering him anything his heart desires in exchange for some simple repairs, Mairon jumps at the chance to finally acquire the power he has always wanted. However, all power comes with a price, and soon Mairon's life begins to spiral out of control.

    Written for Angbang Week 2022: Each chapter corresponds to a prompt for each day (or as close as I could manage), plus a prologue and an epilogue

    Summary

    Maedhros has returned to life in the Fourth Age of Arda, but the past haunts him with reveries of what might have been and ruminations of the things instead that were. Hope comes in the form of a Hobbit bearing messages from the Lord of the Rings.

    Or: Maedhros looks at maps and angsts about what-ifs.
    Inspired by Chthonion's The Harrowing.
