It comes in Threes

✍ Prompt: Ages of captivity + the Fëanturi | Melkor, Námo, Irmo & Nienna ✍ Synopsis: During three ages of captivity, Melkor is visited by all three Fëanturi siblings. ✍ Warnings: / ✍ Triple drabble ✍ SWG archive

Námo is the first to visit him, unsurprisingly — it's his halls Melkor is trapped in, after all. 

He expects him to relay his brother's flimsy excuses or lecture him on laws and morals, but the Judge is silent. All he does is check on him and linger, as if he's quietly offering his companionship and wisdom. 

Melkor meets his silence with his own, proud and stubborn. He cares little about whatever Námo has to offer, feeling cheated and betrayed by his own kin.

The law is meaningless to him, and fate can be changed. 

He greets Námo with mocking smiles. 

Irmo appears even before his sorrowful sister does, and Melkor envies him for how easily he enters and exits his brother's halls, as if Námo's spells bend to his every will and whim. 

And perhaps they do — Irmo has always been his one weakness. 

To Melkor's surprise, he doesn't attempt to scold or preach; rather he seems curious and asks him questions. 

The fallen Vala lies and evades some, of course, but he deigns to engage Irmo in conversation.

"Why do you ask?" he inquires nevertheless, and the Fëantur smiles mildly. 

"I want to understand, and I know I can."

Nienna visits him last, and as predictable and inevitable as it seems to him, Melkor finds that he harbours no ill will towards her. 

She is perhaps the only one he cares to see, and this time he is the one to speak first. 

"How is it that you still defend me," he wonders, "even though everyone is of the opinion that I am the cause of every single tear you shed?" 

"Because you too deserve compassion, and I was never angry with you," Nienna answers.  "For I know well that, to cause such hurt, you yourself must be hurting.”

Thanks for reading! ♡

Doom of Mandos Judgement of the Valar pronounced on the Noldor that carried out the Kinslaying, promising tears unnumbered and fencing Valinor against them, so that not even the echo of their lamentation shall pass over the mountains.

Super need to go to bed and I'mma bout to but got hit by a thought.

The Endless have been made parts of other pantheons before, as we've seen with the Greek Pantheon, Morpheus in particular and have likely been pulled into many others over the eons of existence, so:

The Endless as part of the Valar?

Particularly I'm thinking of the Feanturi sibling trio of Mandos, Nienna and Irmo

Doesn't it totally work for Destiny, Death and Dream?

Mandos/Destiny as the Doomsman, dealing out fate and getting conflated with his sister Neinna/Death's role, whose compassion in her role is more emphasized by the folk of Middle Earth. And then, of course Irmo/Dream just speaks for itself.

#the fact they're all seen as siblings is what made me think of it #also none of the other Endless quite fit as well #i tried at first to fit them all #like tulkas for destruction #and vana for delight #but there's not really a desire equivalent #and thought for a sec about despair as nienna but they honestly have very different vibes to me #so the eldest three Endles as the Feanturi it is x) #tolkien #valar #feanturi #the endless #namo mandos #irmo lorien #nienna #destiny of the endless #dream of the endless #death of the endless #sandman

Aule was one of the valar, the angelic beings who were the foremost amongst the Ainur. He was known as the craftsman and the Smith and nurtured all works of skill. He created the dwarf and is known to them as Mahal, the maker.

HC that Námo harbors a desire to keep the Feanorians under his thumb in the Halls of Mandos as long as possible, even against Manwë’s orders.

Irmo the younger [Feantur] is the master of visions and dreams. In Lórien are his gardens in the land of the Valar, and they are the fairest of all places in the world, filled with many spirits.

I chose to cosplay Irmo when Silverlynxcosplay decided to take on Mandos. I never really connected to the first part of the Silmarillion, the Ainulindale and Valaquenta, and still don’t really care for the Valar, but I really like this cosplay for aesthetic reasons. It was one of the hardest one to pin down though: without a connection to the character I struggled to find a design (for the body) that I liked. I scrapped the first version immediately after making it, wore the second for about an hour at an Elfia a couple of years and disliked every photo I got back. So now, with our shooting week planned for nature and also the Elfia around the corner I made a third version which felt right very early on, even though I switched colors when I had already applied them (it was golden and silver at first but that didn’t fit to the rest of the cosplay and my vision for Irmo, so I brought back the crème tone from the second version). And I’m super happy about how this cosplay turned out.

Namo's Maiar don't have a good relationship with the Maiar of other Valar, in my HC's. They look down on Namo's Maiar, for the reason that their work isn't understood.
