A part of me wants to write a fic with Gil-Galad somehow meeting up with an injured and still heavily traumatized Maeglin who now has white hair after the fall of Gondolin and just “Well I obviously can’t just leave you alone and injured in the wild, so I’ll take you with me.”

Gil-Galad then proceeds to lie his ass off to everyone about the strange elf he brought back and is obviously hiding. What elf? Oh that one! He’s just a friend. What’s his name? Uhm...What a coincidence, it seems to have slipped my mind! Gottagobye!

Gil-Galad keeps telling himself that he’ll exile Maeglin or hand him over to the Gondolin survivors, but he keeps putting it off, even when Maeglin is majority healed. Next thing they know, the armies of Valinor have arrived and the War of Wrath ramps up. With nothing left to do, Gil gives Maeglin a disguised name, armor and a sword, and together, they fight. They are quite surprised to discover that they work very well together. That’s probably when they start becoming friends.

And then Elrond comes in. And Gil is trying so hard to keep his two friends separated. Which is hard when you’re friends with a very curious and nosey peredhel who is very suspicious about the mysterious white haired elf who is always with the king.

It’s even funnier if Elrond is hiding Maglor

Elrond: Is that Maeglin?! Gil-Galad with an obvious Maeglin behind him: No no no, you’re seeing things.

*Maglor passes by behind Elrond*

Gil-Galad: Is that Maglor Feanorian?!

Elrond: No, you’re seeing things.

#Once again #I come back to terrorize the Silmarillion fandom with the nonsense from my head #I just think a Maeglin and Gil-Galad friendship would be interesting and messy #the enemies to friends arc #the guilt for enjoying a traitor's friendship #the guilt for being friends with the one who held his friend's dad hostage as a kid #Gil-Galad having to fight between his duty as a king and his own happiness as his own person #and his own sense of justice vs. the sense of justice as a king who is the leader of the people that includes the people Maeglin wronged #and on Maeglin's end #Regret lots of regret #A good bit of fear #trying to resist being in self pity but falls in it #Waiting for Gil-Galad to give him to the Gondolin survivors and be put on trial or smth #Then realizing he enjoys Gil's friendship and feeling guilty for that because he believes Gil deserves better #"Why would a king be friends with a traitor?'#Him deciding to do reparations by serving Gil-galad #Which is actually an excuse to stay with Gil-galad because he has no idea what to do with himself and Gil is one of his last family members #Lots of juicy stuff and ideas #But I already have like 2 Slim fics being written sooooo #This idea will have to sit in my mind #Or someone else can write it if they want #silmarillion #silmarillion fandom #lotr #lotr fandom #ereinion gil galad #maeglin #elrond peredhel #fic idea
