    This is so tragic! Wonderful! Amazing story that will shatter your hearts feed your ever tragic ever Maglor's torturing time(emotionally) gluttonously.

    Summary

    A slave, broken and forgotten, and hopefully dead within the decade. That is what young Lindir believes to be his fate, when orcs burn his village to the ground and round the inhabitants up as prisoners.
    Then one morning, a horn sounds through the fog.

    What follows is a tale of family, of choice, and the song that unites us.

    Written for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2025, for artwork #39

    Summary

    "Lullabies do not make kinslayers. This he knows. And yet, it never stops the worry from curdling in his chest, the only constant of all the cradles he has sung beside. For the tune endures after all, and nothing empty can truly endure: every vacant hroä holds a fragment of the fëa that once forsook it. Can a song be washed of meaning? Is tenderness immune to ideology? Groping about blindly in the dark of their dreams, Elrond had always worried that he was not watering the crops for his children to harvest, but salting the earth before the seeds could be planted."
    ___________________________
    At a parade celebrating the the founding of Imladris, Elrond spots an unforgettable face in the crowd, a face he’s not seen for millennia. To his delight and apprehension, it is indeed Maglor Fëanorian, who brings with him two things. First, a suspiciously tame monkey he insists isn’t a metaphor. Second, the groundshaking admission that Elwing and Eärendil’s sons were not named Elrond and Elros.

    Or, a love letter to Maglor, Elwing, and Elrond.
