    Summary

    Silvergifting co-ruling Mordor for fun and aesthetics.

    Celebrimbor finds out Annatar is Tar-Mairon - the ruler of Mordor - but not that he's Sauron, and then they play commitment chicken about it. Be a decent person by my standards or I'm breaking up with you. Marry me or I won't be a decent person by your standards. Promise me you won't go to war with my friends and family or I won't marry you. etc etc etc.

    Both of them are at least half expecting the other to back out, because this is an insane person thing to do on both their parts, but because of that expectation, neither one does the backing out himself.

    Summary

    Himring is probably the coldest place that Maeglin has ever been.

    He tries to put away that thought, and not to shiver very visibly as he glances up through his lashes at Maedhros Fëanorion. Terrible and fell, his father had always said were the sons of Fëanor, and Maeglin can believe it. Of course, his mother’s stories had been different. But they had been few and far between.

    Above, Maedhros shifts forwards in his high seat with a slight rustling of heavy robes, and Maeglin trembles involuntarily. Out of the cold, he promises himself. Only the cold.

    “You wish to leave Gondolin,” rasps the lord of Himring, with no small amount of incredulity in his voice. “To come here?”
