#Finwean forging competition au

[telpea-kalka]

Ok I’ve been thinking about what you said about Inter House forging competitions being banned on Arda by Maedhros, Fingon, and Finrod but Valinor hasn’t decided yet

So, re-embodied Maeglin and Curufin’s competition. Aulë is DELIGHTED. Everyone else is terrified. Anairë is organizing and re organizing her healing supplies. Plenty of elves are running for cover. Fëanor isn’t allowed to serve as a judge but he’s allowed to watch. Tyelpë is a neutral party.

Maedhros is smirking, he doesn’t have to show up for it, he’s got no stake in the competitions.

That is until Maeglin asks him to come and watch for moral support. (I headcanon they bond as part of the Morgoth is the Worst club).

Maedhros isn’t smirking after that.

Oh. My god. Yes.

The Finwean forging competition keeps me awake at night. That is exactly how I pictured it.

Maeglin just got reembodied—Turgon was WAY to overexcited about powning the Feanorians. So he pulled Maeglin out of Mandos ASAP for this competition as soon as the Gondolin situation cooled down.

So now Maeglin’s dazed and confused, it’s too bright for him and he lost his sunglasses in middle earth, he has no idea about the gravity of this competition, and he just wants his cool uncle that he recognizes from support group to be there.

He would love to support his nephew, unfortunately all the Feanorians expect Maedhros to support Curufin too… he’s tried the ‘Listen Curvo, only a jerk doesn’t let the 180-year-old win’ angle and that didn’t work…

So now Maedhros has just entered the dangerous game of having to be there and root for both sides while not letting them find out he’s rooting for both sides…

Yeah Fingon’s been calling it the War of Wrath II
