Incorrect silm quotes from this generator

Elros: Don't you mean 'oh my god'?

Fingolfin: You don't need my blessing to go kiss Maedhros. In fact, I was pretty sure you were already kissing Maedhros!

Fingon: Nope.

Fingolfin: In that case, as the archbishop of Fingon's fully awakened gaydom, I give you my blessing to immediately leave and rectify that as soon as possible! Go now, my child, and kiss Maedhros right on the lips!!!

Maedhros: What happened to your nose?

Fingon: I used it to break some guy's fist.

Maedhros at the Palace at Alqualondë, Part Two

Previous Part

Next AU masterlist + explanation Other masterlists

CW: abuse of power, gaslighting

Fun fact! This AU was originally going to be about Thingol! It’s different enough that I might still write it actually, I’ll make a longer post about it soon

I used formal but modern grammar here for the most part (exceptions are intentional) to indicate the difference between elven and Valarin dialects when translated into English. I’ll go into more about this later, it’s kind of hard to explain but I hope this is ok and that the language is in character enough.

Random clarification: The exact age difference between different members of the house of Finwë actually differs throughout Tolkien’s notes and there aren’t really a lot of clear answers. I do personally headcanon that Maedhros is younger than all of Finwë’s children although he is not much younger than Írimë and Arafinwë who were still children when he was born.

I’m slowly writing something in chronological order but I’m taking requests for short pieces from anywhere in the timeline

One night’s lost sleep should not cause noticeable distress among the highborn elves but Nelyafinwë (the name still brought a twinge of distaste to his lips, even now) looked to be in poor condition at the early hour Arafinwë entered the room he had left him in. Eyes were widened, hair askew as he twisted around to look at his visitor.

“I hope you did not spent the night struggling against these, Russandol,” Arafinwë says calmly, moving forward to examine the restraints, debating whether or not to remove the leather from his nephew’s mouth. The younger elf tensed visibly as his fingers moved towards the straps on his face.

“I mean this for your own sake, of course. No harm will come to you here. There was no need to remain in such a state of agitation.” Despite his calm and even tone there is no denying that his words are almost mockingly empty; Nelyafinwë is naked, strapped down, completely vulnerable and Arafinwë knows perfectly well how much the younger elf detests this so vividly and why.

“I will remove these now, provided you remain calm.” Nelyafinwë doesn’t look anything resembling calm but Arafinwë moves to undo the straps around his head, carefully pulling the leather piece from his mouth.

He pants softly for several minutes as the other straps were removed. When his limbs were freed, he sat up, knees pulled to his chest in an attempt to cover himself. The look he gave Arafinwë was a deeply uncertain one. There was no avert animosity to it but the elf king was nevertheless cautious as he moved around the bed as though he might be sprang upon at any moment. Nelyafinwë’s eyes did not leave him as he walked to the cabinets and removed a sheet. His pace was slow, deliberate as he stepped back into plain view and offered it out to his guest.

“I will retrieve your clothes from the guards later today, Russandol. In the meantime you may use this.”

A small gesture of acknowledgment as he pulled the sheet around himself. Arafinwë wondered if Nelyafinwë was aware of how poorly he hid his apprehension. He wondered too if his half nephew would trust in it or simply dismiss it as paranoia caused by the traumas of the past.

“Thank you, Lord Arafinwë,” Nelyo says curtly once he has settled his arms in front of him again.

The king nods in response before walking over to the small table by the door and returning with a glass of a breakfast juice, something like a thin smile playing on his lips as Russandol eyes it.

…

It should have taken a bit longer for the effects to take hold, perhaps he had been too heavy handed with the mixture.

Arafinwë takes the glass before the younger elf’s grip becomes too unsteady. Nelyafinwë’s eyes appear rather blurry and unfocused but he’s still lucid enough to be angry.

“You had no right to..” he stumbles on a word and Arafinwë coolly cuts him off.

“No right to ensure the safety of my subjects when I am housing a kinslayer, however temporarily?” The look Nelyafinwë gives him might be described as dour but he does not, or perhaps cannot retort.

“Besides,” Arafinwë continues smoothly, “I was under the impression that being held in restraints brought back unpleasant memories. Is this not a reasonable alternative?” He searches his half nephew’s face; a blink that might have been a prelude to an argument had he been more able to articulate,

“I have read the reports of the healers who initially treated thee following thy rescue from the Iron Prisons. I know of thy tendency to lash out should you receive enough provocation.” He was given another blink, the expression clearly impudent but there was nothing Nelyafinwë could do to argue so Arafinwë went on, his face closer to the other’s now, his voice softer, “You are not the only one to return from the clutches of the Dark Foe with the disposition of a wounded animal but I would not be remiss in saying that you are one of the most dangerous cases. Both because of thy previous actions and because of the rather…unique connection that you shared with Him.”

This brought a reaction. Nelyafinwë actually made an almost convulsive gesture with both arms as though attempting to throw himself up and off the bed.

“None of that, now,” Arafinwë chides softly, pushing him back with minimal force, “But really, Russandol. This was precisely what I spoke of.” Arafinwë eases him down again on the bed, allowing him to keep his sheet to cover himself. Nudity was not typically a source of shame among the Eldar but the Fëanorian became so agitated with his clothes taken. And he could not afford for Nelyafinwë to become so agitated. Yet.

Nelyafinwë can’t see it, he can barely keep his eyes open but there is the slightest hint of satisfaction on the king’s face as he stood and turned to leave.

Author’s note: I should add here that Arafinwë actually knows a decent amount about Maedhros’s trauma in Angband. He’s seen the healer’s reports including Nolofinwë’s wife’s private journals. I headcanon that Anairë is a healer and after the events of Silm she becomes very good at treating survivors of torture and long term injuries from their experiences on Arda. Arafinwë asks her to borrow her notes on a different case and she agrees, trusting him to not look through the private parts of her journal. But he does read them. They contain not only her own observations but very personal details of Maedhros’s torture that he had confided in Nolofinwë. Ara also has information from what his own son has confided in him.

Okay so I saw @tolkien-fantasy do this first and they've convinced me to do one too cause I thought it was super cute!

Dating me would include :

🐍 Rocks, a lot of rocks, and not just those super pretty crystals, but rocks that I have dug out of the ground and found randomly in parks

🐍 I would wanna put them everywhere as decorations

🐍 You would get random animal facts that I know or have recently looked up

🐍 I would want a pet snake and more turtles

🐍 Prepare for me to spend 1+ hours in my/our room and cone down frantically to show off my new nail color/s, I would also offer do your nails and would be slightly sad if you say no, but i'd understand ofc

🐍 Offering to make you a grilled cheese or tea if you are feeling sad

🐍 Did I forgot to mention that paint would be all over my walls and most likely you, purely on accident ofc

🐍 If you ever remember my random rambles about what I would love to get/own and you buy it for me, I would freak out for days on end, especially if it is new paint colors

🐍 If you are feeling sick or congested, I will always offer to give you a face massage!

🐍 Expect to help me with whatever plants I have or want to have!

🐍 I will try to convince you to go to the pet store to look at the reptiles whenever we drive past it

🐍 Have long conversations about whatever fandom I'm in, especially Lotr/Silm!

🐍 Play video games hours on end then wind down by watching animated movies!

I hope I did this right! It was fun to make! I was gonna put, I hope this helps! but idk what it would help y'all with lmao

Oh I almost forgot the most important one!

🐍 I don't kill nor get rid of spiders. I, in fact, want to hoard them in my house, but i fit comes to it, I will safely move them outside

#nat speaks #hopefully this wasn't too long #long post #personal #this was very fun to make ngl

"Infiltrate Thingol's palace, they said. It should be easy for someone of your caliber, they said. Bloody....this is the last time I do business with those tree-fucking Noldorin wankers."

It's all fun and games until the High Prince of the Noldor hires you to steal his shinies back and it starts fucking glowing despite being wrapped in a million layers of cloth. Now you've got a literal beacon in your pocket and it's time to make like nachos and dip.

My girl Gwilwileth, gem thief extraordinaire and all-around capitalist/businesswoman taking on her toughest job yet. If it weren't for the cash she wouldn't be doing this shit but hey, Nana needs the money. (From a Silm alternate-timeline, AU fic I'll probably finish. One day. Maybe.)

Wikihow pic I used as a pose reference here: https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/89/Sneak-Out-of-Your-Second-Story-Window-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Sneak-Out-of-Your-Second-Story-Window-Step-9-Version-2.jpg.webp

Random facts about Gwil under the cut:

A Sinda born in Doriath to parents who were hunters/tanners, they weren't super rich but their life was happy and they had it pretty good.

Would help her mom tan the hides for leather and butcher her father's kills, and would sometimes accompany him on hunting trips when she got old enough

Grew up without seeing the light of the Trees, and is HELLA resentful of the Valar for a very long time for not only providing them with the dimmest possible light source (starlight isn't very effective) but "sitting on their glittery divine asses while Morgoth rampaged my continent and did fuck-all until some bloke with a shiny on his forehead had to come and beg them personally."

Is also resentful of the "light elves" for looking down on the "dark elves" just because they never saw the Trees. Shit man, not like it's our fault!

Her father died in a hunting accident and so she and her mother tried to keep the business afloat for a while, but eventually it fell and they fell into some pretty dire straits tbh.

She's just a big ball of resentment and I love her so much tbh.

Turned to stealing jewels both because she wanted to stick it to the so-called High Elves and because she and her mom are flat broke and she's sick of it. (Her mom thinks she found work as a lady's maid in the capital)

Uses the skills learned while hunting in her exploits, and has only been caught like three times.

She doesn't hate ALL the light elves, just the ones who think they're better than everybody (which lbr, is like a huge chunk of them)

Gwilwileth is an alias and not her real name, her real name (father-name) is Mithruien (it means "grey huntress" in Sindarin)

Has the nickname Lamoril, or "black tongue" because she swears a lot.

She just really, really loves her mom, okay? And goes through great pains to keep her actual occupation from her.

Greatest ambition was to go to Valinor and steal some of the light of the Trees to bring back to Middle-earth (until they got destroyed and shit)

Sinda PRIDE

Let's just say that either Feanor has a teensy bit more self control in this AU or there's a do-over, either one is cool.

Either way he still wants to kick Morgoth's ass for killing his dad and stealing his life's work (understandable).

But this time around, instead of killing a shit ton of innocent people to get his gems back, he hires a professional thief (Gwil) to steal them back while he does war preparations to go fuck up Morgoth.

Sends one of his sons with her to prevent any deception cuz he's still kinda paranoid (but also smart, like there's no honor among thieves)

Took the job cuz she was offered a fat payday (she and her nana would've been set for life)

The rest is still unwritten

If you are still doing the Silmarillion Ask, 10, 15, 19, and 24?

Thank you so much for the questions! This is actually my first ask ever :)

10. What region of Middle-earth would you like to explore?

In the First Age, I’d love to explore all the drama and intrigue of Tirion, and I think it would be fascinating to go to experience the political culture of Gondolin as well. Also adding that my top three for the Third Age, in no particular order, would be Lothlorien, Rivendell, and Minas Tirith.

15. Post your favorite Ted Nasmith painting.

I’m embarrassed to say that I hadn’t heard of Ted Nasmith before, but thanks for the introduction, because his stuff is amazing! I particularly like this one: http://www.tednasmith.com/tolkien/the-shores-of-valinor/. I also really like the play with light in this one, plus the fact that it’s how I would headcanon Huan’s appearance: http://www.tednasmith.com/tolkien/luthien-escapes-upon-huan-2/.

19. You get to save one character from dying. What would they do instead?

I would probably want to save Fëanor. In addition to being my favorite Silm character, I’m legitimately curious about whether he would be able to see the error of his ways, or whether he would continue down the same ruinous path. At the same time, it could be fascinating to save Finwë and see how differently history could have turned out. I also would be curious to see what Maeglin would be like with a second chance…

24. Your job is to write The Silmarillion: The Musical. What is one of the songs?

I have been thinking about this all day and wound up having a little too much fun with the Slogan Generator instead of coming up with a catchy name xD So here, instead, is a random concept that has been living in my head for a while: Fëanor pointing his sword at Nolofinwë and instigating all of the brotherly drama to something akin to “Hollaback Girl.” Don’t know why it’s in my head but the plot bunny is insistent xD
