    Summary

    “The Maedhros who stands before his son is not one thing but many. He is a struck-down statue. He is a fading demon. He is a sword in a nuclear war. He is historical debris. He is the sum of a nation’s ruin. He is the first sunset of the Empire’s apocalypse. He is Elrond’s beloved Baba, who would find him under every starless sky. Archives will dissect him. Historians will redeem him. Writers will swallow him whole.”

    In 1937, notorious Indian revolutionary Maedhros Fëanorian and his brother Maglor, take in a British colonial officer's twin sons and raise them to adulthood. Decades later, Elrond Peredhel, trying to leave a family tragedy behind in England, returns to India during a time of political turbulence and finds that everything, from the national landscape to his firebrand father, the ineffable Comrade Maedhros, has changed. Chapter 19: Epilogue, Afterword and 'Alternate' Ending.

    Summary

    Maedhros & Maglor Week, Day 5: New Horizons & Day 6: Respite

    “Káno,” Maedhros rasped, cupping his face with his scarred, rough-calloused hand. “Dearest. Thou knowest I would do anything for thee.”

    Maglor closed his eyes, and whispered, “Stay.”

    Summary

    He had asked Gaunt about this the previous night, when he could tell that he was sore and spent but so damnably uncreative where sex was concerned. Gaunt had snapped that he talked too much so Ellwood had tried to be gentle, tried not to lose himself completely. But that sort of restraint wouldn’t do for tonight, not when three nights from now they would either be dead or sleeping in a dugout.

    Not when there were still so many things they hadn’t tried.

    Summary

    ”Many evils we are threatened with, but no cravens are we!” said Fëanor, on the shores of barren Araman. “Grief, I already know, and I fear no weapons nor weariness! I fear no torment nor treason! Indeed, walk with me, Nolofinwë, my recently-sworn brother, and let us take counsel together on how best to take our people across these empty lands ahead of us.”
    Mandos blinked.
    Fingolfin blinked.

     

    (Or: au in which spite drives Fëanor to make…GOOD choices?)
