#fingon x daeron

[carmisse]

Fëanáro and his sons-(and daughter) in-law.

X : Rank your children's spouses or partners from one to ten.

Fëanor : ...

Fëanor : I've been waiting for this moment since Maitamo was in diapers!

Fëanor : Findekáno is an eight. He was the first one and I really came to see the fact that he and Maitamo would get married when they had the chance. He is quite nice though because of him I have to see Ñolofinwë's face on weekends at the family dinner. Other than that, it's stranger not to see him at home, I got used to having him there, he's good company.

Fëanor : the first time I met Makalaurë's wife she punched me in the jaw. She is sassy and not afraid to express her displeasure with anyone plus Dae is really very talented, she is also the only person who can manage to shut Káno up, she sings too well, a ten, she is my favorite.

Fëanor : Tyelko was always a free fëa, that's why I didn't expect him to settle down, not even with Irissë and even less with Oromë. That's why Dior was a strange surprise, I don't really know the history of those two and I haven't dealt much with him, he's usually serious, and I don't blame him for that. A seven.

Fëanor : Turukáno reminds me too much of Ñolofinwë; he openly hates me and I respect him for that; but he also makes Moryo smile more often than usual, his mood changes when he's around his husband. Besides they have been together for too long, they never told anyone but Aracáno and I suspected it. He is an eight.

Fëanor : I'm not sure if Findaráto counts, he and Curufinwë have been divorced for a long time, however they also kiss a closet when they think no one sees them. He and Curufin made me grandfather, although at the time there was yelling and a couple of broken things, he took responsibility, and like Findekáno his company is pleasant. He's a solid nine, plus Arafinwë is easier to stand than Ñolo.

Fëanor : Pityo has no husband, wife or partner; unless it's secret, I can't score this time.

Fëanor : Telvo on the other hand, well. He leaves Arakáno, the son, I mean. I must say that the two of them are really adorable, if somewhat disastrous, you don't want to know what an argument between them is. Frankly they are the healthiest relationship I've seen in a long time. Arakáno are a nine.

Plus : Telperinquar's husband.

Fëanor : Annatar is an annoying little shit, I am offended that you think I accept him, if it were not for Tyelpe I would throw him into the void with his ex-husband.

Notes :

Daeron is trans, she is an elleth. When he and Maglor met, the son of Fëanor fell in love with her, he proposed to her a few days after they met for the first time. A hundred years pass before she accepts him, they marry with only trees as a witness, they drifted apart after Doriath.

She was upset for a long time, with her husband and her brothers-in-law.

They meet in Imladris, Elrond is the one who brings them together (he locks them in a room until they talk) Maglor apologizes and she accepts them even though she knows it will take time to heal. Finally, they sail to Valinor accompanying Elladan and Elrohir. Regarding her name, he doesn't really mind Daeron. But her family in-laws call her Dae, Maglor nicknamed her that when he met her, this with her permission.

Amrod has no interest in anyone, he is very tired of everyone.

Asphodel

On AO3

The field upon which their last great blow against Morgoth had been turned aside was a barren expanse of sunbaked mud. Dust blew up from the cracks in the earth and whipped through the air in a thousand tiny storms; heaps of remains, of armor, of weapons, dotted the landscape, and reigning over all, the putrid Haudh-en-Nirnaeth.

Daeron had heard already of the fate of the high king of the Noldor, and he knew this wasteland had nothing for him, yet he came, unable to sever the cord of destiny around his throat. He trudged across the desolate land and each rusting trinket he passed stabbed at his heart, for it seemed to him that the fate of Middle-earth was now written, and no hope remained to them.

Because there was nothing to find, there was nowhere to stop; he only came as close as he dared to the Hill and sank down onto his knees, the gritty breeze stinging his dark cheeks. Had it been here, he wondered? Was this his resting place? It might as well have been.

Daeron had never seen a skull split with a single blow, but his imagination worked wonders in this regard: of splintered bones and rent muscles and ruptured organs, of blood pouring forth onto thirsty soil, of the obliteration of a person.

Daeron bent forward until his forehead touched the desecrated ground and a low moan trailed from his throat; he tried to subordinate these thoughts to the memory of Fingon as he had been at the Mereth Aderthad, how he had allowed Daeron to coax smiles and laughter from a heart wearied of tragedy, but he could not do it. The only other thing on which his mind would focus was his own desperate pleading just before battle: at the edge of the woods he had relinquished any remaining shreds of dignity to grasp at Fingon’s doublet, begging him to forget it, to forget his kingship and his kin and Morgoth most of all, and come into the wood with Daeron, and leave the rest behind.

In a tiny pocket Daeron had sewn inside his tunic, over the left side of his breast, was a loop of wavy black hair which Fingon had given him when he said goodbye in favor of his duty. This Daeron could still remember: How Fingon had smiled when he pressed it into Daeron’s hand, assuring him that all would be well, and when they met again, it would be under a sun which shone not upon the Enemy, and then Fingon would take Daeron to Hithlum that he might partake in the grand celebrations of the Noldor.

Seeing that Fingon could not be turned from his course, Daeron had said no more of it, and allowed Fingon to make his promises and embrace him that he might go to his end at least assured of Daeron’s affections. Now was come the shadow Daeron had foreseen, and there was nothing left over which he might mourn; there was not even a suggestion of the final resting place of Fingon Fingolfinion, prince from across the great wide sea. Once again, Daeron found himself merely tangential to another’s tale, sitting in the ruins of all that had been at the start of the tale and now was no more.

Sitting back on his heels, Daeron turned his face up to the sky, and his tears ran back into his braids.

“What I have done to make you so despise me, I repent of it,” he said to the merciless sky. “I would that you might tell me my proper penance, for I cannot bear this endless sorrow. You made me not with such strength to endure.”

The battlefield was silent; not even the buzzards lingered there.

There was nothing for Daeron in the Anfauglith, it was true: but it was the last place he had hoped to find something. In absence of meaning, of purpose, of comfort, he tore a strip of one of the banners of the Noldor, and told himself it had been the one Fingon had carried, and tucked the scrap into his pocket with the hair.

Where Daeron went when he drifted from Anfauglith none could say, for he vanished then into complete obscurity and the tales tell no more of the loremaster of Doriath and his silent flute, nor does his name cross the memorials of Fingon son of Fingolfin, the shortest-reigning of the high kings of the Noldor.

12, 13, 17 please!

Thanks for the ask @swanmaids!

Who are your favorite characters/pairings to write smut for?

You probably think I'm gonna say Daeron/Maglor but here's the honest truth: Finrod/Maglor and Daeron/Luthien as friends with benefits are actually hotter to me. I already wrote almost 7k of Daeron/Luthien/Maglor, I suppose I'll have to write the foursome one of these days... if I can handle the heat.

What’s the most surprising smut pairing you’ve written?

Becoming possessed by a silmkinkmeme prompt and writing (light, uncomplicated, Years of the Trees) Russingon/Maglor was a big surprise.

Who are your favorite canon couples to write smut for?

Only written each of them once, but Feanor/Nerdanel and Earendil/Elwing. I'm a big fan of canon relationships smut though. Shout out to you and @imakemywings and @i-am-a-lonely-visitor for writing some smoking hot stuff for those married elves!

Hi, I just remembered a scene from series called Heroes - there was this woman, who was deaf and still could percieve music as colorful lights (check this video: https://youtu.be/UgnjitfOW5E ). How would our dear minstrels of Arda react if their s/o was just like that?

I like to think that elves music tells stories in a visual aspect. Like the chords they play would create scenes, thus, their s/o not only sees the harmonious colours but images. They're able to show their s/o all the wonder aspects of life through their songs. This makes playing for their s/o a more touching and private moment.

- Maglor, Fingon, Finrod, Ecthelion, Daeron, Lindir

SWG’s July Challenge: Solve a Problem

Tolkien's canon is challenging, not least of all because it was unfinished, leaving lots of contradictions, confusions, and details that just plain don't make sense.

For this month's challenge, create a fanwork that solves a canon problem. You can come up with your own favorite (or most frustrating!) canon problem to solve, or choose one of the member-submitted canon problems from the list below. Fanworks are due August 15 in order to receive a stamp. Please see the Challenges page on our website for full challenge guidelines.

Optional Prompt List

What is Gil-galad's parentage?

How long did Maedhros hang or Thangorodrim … or how did Maedhros hang on Thangorodrim so long?

Anything to do with the name shell game for Amrod and Amras.

Who was the narrator of The Silmarillion? Was it Rúmil and Pengolodh or some Númenórean guy?

Why does a utopian place like Gondolin have a designated place for executions?

Is Curufin really renowned? We know what Fëanor and Celebrimbor created … but what about Curufin’s inventions?

How do you solve a problem like Gildor? Where does he fit in, where does he live, what was his parentage?

What was the ecosystem of Middle-earth like when there was only darkness?

Flat world? Round world? Settle that debate or any issues to do with the shape and remaking of the world.

What is the afterlife for the sentient and talking animals of Middle-earth?

What is the afterlife like for Dwarves?

Elven maturity is said to happen at 50 years. Is this in Tree Years or Sun Years? How does that translate?

On the subject of aging, Tolkien had two ideas about the maturation of young Elves. From Laws and Customs among the Eldar (HoMe X): "The Eldar grew in bodily form slower than Men, but in mind more swiftly." From The Line of Elros (UT): "Thus (as the Eldar) they [Númenóreans] grew at much the same rate as other Men ...." So how does one make sense of this?

What are the origins and/or afterlives of Orcs?

Are Orcs capable of redemption?

Defying physics and biology: anything on giant spiders and mountain-sized flying dragons.

Did Amrod burn with the ships?

Did Húrin's chair have a flush? … or any matters related to excremental necessity.

And The Classic™: Do Balrogs have wings?

How did Elves who lost mates before the Statute of Finwë and Míriel or who were unaware of the law handle situations of new love and remarriage?

So about all those "tallest" Elves and Númenóreans: Who was actually the tallest? (Or maybe none of them were?)

What status or title did Maglor assume after Maedhros was captured?

What was the relationship between Imin, Tata, and Enel and Ingwë, Finwë, Elwë, and Olwë?

If the palantíri were made by Fëanor, why do we not see them being used in all sorts of canon situations when communications were critical?

Coimas & lembas: The only Elven grain or just the most magical?

Anything to do with the logistics around the anatomical and aerodynamic likelihood of a bird big enough to carry two men on its back. (Also what that might say about the bird poop issue around Gondolin.)

Why doesn't Valinor get full if no one ever dies and each new generation of Elves keeps having children? That's exponential population growth. How do the Valar feed all these Elves on a fixed amount of arable land? Or will Aman just keep magically expanding (at an ever-increasing pace!) until the Dagor Dagorath?

Orodreth: son of Finarfin or son of Angrod?

The many conflicting hair colors of Celegorm.

"Of The Ruin of Doriath": This chapter was almost entirely constructed by Christopher Tolkien and Guy Kay. Play with that idea.

What was Daeron's relationship with Lúthien? Were they siblings, as mentioned in an early text? Something else?

Everything about Middle-earth's man of mystery, Erestor.

What's up with the two Glorfindels? Are they the same character?

Anything and everything about Laws and Customs among the Eldar: its multiple contradictions with other texts, its problematic historiographical circumstances, what its laws would actually look like.

What was the relationship between Eöl and Aredhel actually like?

Galadriel and Celeborn are given multiple different, contradictory stories in Unfinished Tales. Wherein lies the truth?

Did Celebrimbor actually have a crush on Galadriel?

Is the Doom of Mandos a curse or a prophecy (or something else)?

Was Tar-Míriel forced to marry Ar-Pharazôn or did she love him?

Why would Fingon bring a harp when he went to rescue Maedhros?

Who is Mandos and why, if he has such keen foresight, is he so rarely listened to?

Why was Mandos chosen to look after the dead when other characters, such as Irmo, might be more suitable?

Are the Silmarils living creatures, just like the Two Trees or Elves? Could they even be real children of Fëanor?

[jaybeeart-vardathebeloved]

For the ask! :D Turgon! Glorfindel! Fingolfin! Maglor! Daeron!

This will be long, lol

Turgon

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with:  Elenwë ofc

friendship them with:  Aredhel, Tuor, Idril, Glorfindel, Ecthelion,Maeglin, Fingon, Finrod, Argon

general opinions: I don’t mind Turgon, though he does get a little annoyingwith the whole paranoia and ‘let’s kill those who don’t stay in Gondolin oncethey get here, lawl!’ I mean, I get his reasoning, but I think killing is a bittoo much. He’s unlike Fingon and Aredhel in that respect; a lot more guardedand quick to suspect. He’s not completely unfair, though; he has his goodmoments.

Glorfindel

character: hate them | don’t reallycare | like them |LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with:  my OC

friendship them with:  Ecthelion, Egalmoth, Turgon, Tuor, Idril, Maeglin,Elrond, Erestor,Elladan & Elrohir, Arwen

general opinions: HE’S MY BAE, I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM FOREVER XINFINITY! *breathes* I think he’s a brave, noble and valiant warrior from theSilm, and continued to be so after he was re-embodied and sent to Middle Earthin the 2nd (?) Age :3

Fingolfin

character: hate them | don’t reallycare | like them |LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with:  Anairë

friendship them with: Finarfin, sons and daughter, Fëanor (for a littlebit)

general opinions: He’s a brave fella, wiser and less temperamental than his elder brother, but hecan be a little impulsive too. Good at heart, and noble. I don’t know, not much tosay about him ^^;

Malgor

character: hate them | don’t reallycare | like them |LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with:  OC

friendship them with:  Maedhros, Finrod, Elrond and Elros, Nerdanel

general opinions: I’ve said this before; he’s a sweetie pie! Gentle like hismomma, and most pacifist of his brothers. He doesn’t get in the middle ofconflict unless absolutely necessary. He always tries to reach the morepeaceful resolution there is, and I bet he’s more caring and understanding thanhis bros. Also one helluva minstrel.

Daeron

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with:   No one

friendship them with:  Thingol, Lúthien

general opinions: Not much to say about him. I was a little bit annoyed withhim ratting out on Lúthien to Thingol, but I can understand it. He was in lovewith her, and partly didn’t want her going to Beren, but he also cared for herwell-being, so…I think he’s an okay character :3 Probably nice/friendly to talkto; has an amazing singing voice.

Thanks! X)

V - Voices

So, here is the last one of the April Alphabet stories until later this month.

Worry not, there will be other stories from me in the meantime :D

Words: 663

Characters: Daeron x Maglor (x Finrod?)

Warnings: I came up with this abomination on my own. Maglor and Finrod are half-cousins. Do with that what you will...

Daeron seeks Maglor’s eyes over the golden head of the one who had once been known as Felagund.

Upon returning to the fold—ages too late—they had avoided those who had resettled in those weirdly sterile lands before them as much as had been possible, but—this much Daeron had always known and foreseen—Maglor’s siblings and kinsmen had eventually managed to corner them.

To their surprise, the expectations and demands had been of an often petty and seldom truly disagreeable nature, and they had complied easily enough, in the name of their new-found and fiercely defended peace.

One day, when the unceasing flood of well-wishers and detractors had almost run dry, another very unexpected visitor had appeared on their humble doorstep.

“Could you talk to my son, please?” a stunningly beautiful and undeniably sad matron begged them, hovering on the threshold of the small cottage they occupied as if afraid that the lines of savagery and misery graven into their ever-young faces would rub off on her doleful dignity and mar it. “He’s been so quiet since he’s returned.”

“Aunt,” Maglor replied fitfully, a crash of drums that was followed by a hollow silence as the words he wanted to speak evaded him. “Yes.”

Daeron easily discerned the truth in his lover’s eyes—his cousin had set forth with nothing but his faith and a song and he had not returned.

“Maybe your voice might bring his back?” Eärwen, who had gotten both her children and her husband back and whose hand still felt so terribly empty and cold nonetheless, whispered, and Daeron had to admit that the hope, rustling like a bird’s wings, in her voice was more terrible and devastating than her sadness could ever have been.

“I’ll try,” Maglor promised earnestly; the words slipped easily from his tongue for having been spoken—and betrayed—so many times before. “I’ll see what I, what we can do for my beloved cousin.”

Instantly, Daeron’s eyes flew up—he knew that note of tenderness and of wistful longing that had woven itself into the theme of Maglor’s words. Naturally, hee had heard rumours about the strange proclivities and peculiar moral codes the Ñoldor observed within the safety of their homesteads, but he had never thought that he’d ever witness them in person.

“Finrod…” Maglor bit his lip as he tried to explain a whole life in the span of a much too short walk to the outskirts of the city. “Let’s not talk about my brothers, or the wretched necklace, or my father, or your king, let’s not bring up Beren or Lúthien…”

“Got it. No word about our lives or death,” Daeron agreed, touching Maglor’s tense fingers as they clenched and unclenched around the small harp he was carrying. “We’ll just sing and hope that he’ll remember his own voice—if only to spite us.”

With a shivering sigh, Maglor gave him a thankful smile. “He’s never been a spiteful person though,” he whispered in an adagio of lost love and knocked on the beautifully carved door of his cousin.

“This is not working,” Daerons slightly panicked gaze says.

“I have an idea,” the wicked twinkle in Maglor’s bright eyes replies.

“Cousin,” he purrs, turning to Finrod whose eyes no longer seem veiled by layers of compounded grief but alight with curiosity. “How would you like to hear the awful song Fingon—former High King—has written for my brother—also former High King?”

At that, Finrod cocks his head. “He always had a good voice,” he muses dreamily.

“Ah yes, so do I,” Maglor pounces on the tiny gash in the veil of emotional distance, “and dear Daeron here surpasses us all. Nonetheless, let me regale you with our cousin’s subpar lyrical talent—he literally rhymed ‘red’ with ‘dead’ at some point.”

Again, Daeron and Maglor exchanged a long look—ablaze with hope and ambition now—before intonating the bawdiest, clumsiest, sweetest ballad of the present age.

@fellowshipofthefics here's another one.

Lots of love from me

Fëanorian Ships as Leonard Cohen Songs

As promised in this post which was inspired by this post here’s a handful of my fave Fëanorian ships as Leonard Cohen songs.

Featuring FËANEL, RUSSINGON, DAEMAGS and HALENTHIR below the cut.

FËANEL (Fëanor/Nerdanel) 

Waiting for the Miracle (links to YouTube)

After the estrangement, before the Exile. I don’t like to imagine Nerdanel still waiting for any miracles after that. Maybe from Fëanor’s POV. 

I dreamed about you, baby

It was just the other night

Most of you was naked

Ah but some of you was light

The sands of time were falling

From your fingers and your thumb

And you were waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

RUSSINGON (Fingon/Maedhros)

Hallelujah

It’s the rescue song, it hurts so much. The most famous (by far) Leonard song for the OTP. I’m not crying you’re crying. 

Now I've done my best, I know it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn’t come here to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand right here before the Lord of song

With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

DAEMAGS (Daeron/Maglor) 

Treaty

Post-First Age. The lyrics but also I have been especially musically-intentional with my Maglor-related choices. 

I heard the snake was baffled by his sin

He shed his scales to find the snake within

But born again is born without a skin

The poison enters into everything

And I wish there was a treaty we could sign

I do not care who takes this bloody hill

I'm angry and I'm tired all the time

I wish there was a treaty,

I wish there was a treaty

Between your love and mine

HALENTHIR (Caranthir/Haleth) 

Bird on a Wire

Like a worm on a hook

Like a knight from some old-fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee

If I, if I have been unkind

I hope that you can just let it go by

If I, if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you
