#did you know that the number 1 way to provoke feanor is to keep being polite while he gets angry

sourceless snippet floating in my brain:
“I don’t want your forgiveness,” Fëanor snarled. “I don’t need your forgiveness!”
“Yet you have it,” said Nolofinwë—enjoying himself, it may be noted, immensely.

I too have so many terrible ideas so I hope it’s ok to share a few of the ones constantly in my brain- @outofangband
1. This is related to my awful idea of Melkor sometimes forcing Maedhros to call him father because of his Fëanor obsession. This very much includes doing it while he rapes him.
I’ve already talked a lot about this (both here and on my blog) so I won’t ramble too much but Maedhros resists at first but his resolve is broken down and sometimes it’s just easier to give into this degrading and horrifying demand if it means there’s a chance he can rest after
Anyways post Angband, Fingolfin is sitting at Maedhros’s bedside when he starts to have a nightmare. Pretty unsurprising given the circumstances. But when he starts to talk in his sleep it sounds to Fingolfin like he’s having a nightmare about Fëanor which does startle him. There are so many different ways this could go depending on Fëanor’s character. Is Fingolfin horrified, knowing that his half brother could be temperamental and even violent but not imagining he’d hurt his sons like that? Is he tempted to ask Maedhros’s brothers about it? (When he asks Maedhros himself, Maedhros looks mortified and says he doesn’t remember what he was dreaming about). What if his brothers get angry at him (either Fingolfin or Maedhros or both) for daring to accuse Fëanor of anything like this.
This in itself isn’t particularly dark by my standards but like there’s so many wonderfully horrible things that can happen between the Fëanorians and the Nolofinwëans now
2. Dark Fingolfin getting off on Maedhros’s testimony about Angband, pressing him for more details that Maedhros doesn’t think seems relevant to the war efforts but he doesn’t really feel he can argue even though he feels so exposed and awful talking about this
But really why does his uncle need to know what Morgoth’s cock looks like let alone feels like
Honestly this could work with dark Maglor too.
(I don’t want to overwhelm so I’ll send more later if ok. I hope your vacation was fun!)

1. I'm just thinking, what's the worst thing possible for Fingolfin to overhear? Maedhros begging "Feanor" not to hurt him, or Maedhros begging "Feanor" to fuck him? Maybe both.
"No, stop, please Father, I didn't mean it. Please use my hole, I'll be so good for you-" And then Fingolfin wakes Maedhros up, and Maedhros panics and says he doesn't recall his dream/memory.
Maedhros keeps refusing to elaborate. He says that Feanor was a wonderful father, but refuses to go into detail. (Maedhros's grief at Feanor's death and anger at his actions are all mixed up with the sudden burden of kingship and Melkor's messed up games.)
Fingolfin tries gently asking Maedhros's brothers, if they know any reason why Maedhros would be having nightmares about Feanor. He doesn't quote what Maedhros said because it's private and also too horrifying to repeat.
They don't know, and think that this is part of Fingolfin's plan to smear Feanor's reputation, like 'provoking' Feanor to threaten him with a sword. Probably Fingolfin is just making it up that Maedhros referred to Feanor.
(And so what if Maedhros really did? Maedhros has plenty of reason to fear Feanor's opinion of his actions, Losgar and getting captured and giving up the crown. They all have nightmares of various judgements, Maedhros fearing Feanor isn't strange.)
And perhaps Maedhros overhears Fingolfin's question, and says "Of course my brothers don't know, they weren't there, he never made them-" and then realizes he said too much (or far too little) and stops.
(Plus side is that with Feanor dead, Fingolfin will not immediately try rescue Maedhros from his apparent abuse. Fingolfin won't give up without an explanation, but he'll be patient.)
2. Maedhros would answer any questions, no matter how irrelevant they seem. His sense of normal is skewed - he knows what was required in Valinor and than Angband, but not in Beleriand. And of course everyone needs to be sure that Maedhros wasn't suborned, that he's not hiding information in order to help Morgoth.
Plus of course there's the tactical considerations. Maedhros is the best witness they have about the layout of Angband, its hierarchy, the strength and number of troops
Now, of course Maedhros was being tortured at the time, so he might not have noticed all those details. But there's time and paper now to make a precise record. So if Maedhros describes exactly what it was like every time he was raped by a Balrog, Nolofinwe can put together a list of how many different Balrogs there are, and which ones are most interested in elven reactions versus interested in themselves, which will be useful for distracting them on the battefield. Likewise, if Maedhros describes Morogth's cock and hands in detail Nolofinwe can determine that Morgoth really has been locked into one shape, which will be vital when the Noldor breach Angband. (And knowing what it felt like inside Maedhros is important because, uh, Valar's bodies reflect their domains, and it will help them know if the very earth in Angband is toxic.)
"Maedhros, you want to help our people right? You want to have done something useful rather than just lead your soldiers to their deaths? Then repeat the time you were brought to the mines by a group of orcs and gangbanged whenever they had a free moment. I think I've got it connected on the map, though I don't have a good grasp of how long they spent in the mines. I'll keep a tally of how many times each one came in you, we can use that as a clock."
(And my vacation was good, thanks for asking! Lots of hiking to see beautiful lakes and waterfalls and even a small mountain!)
