“Dog, dog!” little Tyelperinquar cried, waving his arms excitedly.

“Yes, dog,” Tyelkormo said, scooping up his nephew. “Do you want to meet Huan, Tyelpë?”

“Dog!” Tyelperinquar repeated, no less excitedly.

Tyelkormo carried him over to Huan, who was watching them curiously.

“This is my baby nephew,” he said softly, petting Huan’s fur. “Be gentle with him, alright?”

Huan barked softly, as if to assure him it was alright, and Tyelkormo smiled.

“You can pet him,” he told Tyelperinquar, who was looking at Huan with wide eyes. “Softly, don’t tug his fur.”

Tyelperinquar reached out with his chubby little arm, a frown of concentration on his face as he very carefully stroked Huan.

“Good dog,” he said delightedly. “Soft.”

Assured that it was safe, Tyelkormo set Tyelperinquar on the ground, and he toddled towards Huan, who patiently lay down so little Tyelpë could reach him better.

“Scratch him behind the ears,” Tyelkormo advised. “He likes that.”

When Curufinwë came from the forge, he looked around with a frown. 

“Where is my son, Tyelko?”

“Shh,” Tyelkormo whispered, pointing to Huan who peacefully lay in the ground, little Tyelpë asleep on top of him, curled up in the soft fur.

Throwback Thursday!

Since we're all in the belly of @russingon-week and thoroughly (delightfully) mired in angst, I thought I'd share a couple of more humorous takes on Them:

All The Way Home We'll Be Warm (T: 1,100 words, from November 2022), in which Maedhros finally learns to appreciate Hurin.

Full Disclosure (T: 2,000 words, from April 2023), in which Fingon and Maedhros get catty about Finrod through the mail.

If you're in a Russingon mood, check out the event collection on AO3 -- lots of great stuff there!

@welcomingdisaster @theghostinthemargins @queerofthedagger @arofili @last-capy-hupping @polutrope got any older Russingon you want to share?

[spiritofwhitefire]

Throwback Thursday!

Thank you @melestasflight for the tag

“It is a testament to his recovery, if not his sanity, that he does not begin to panic upon finding himself buried beneath the bodies of both orc and elf alike. He is not immune to the stench of corpses, nor their icy, sallow flesh. He is merely accustomed, and so when he swims up from beneath their stiffening limbs, black and red blood filling his nose, filtering between his lips, mingling with the warmth of his own bitten tongue, he does not panic. He swallows and gasps out for oxygen, swallowing down yet more poison, knowing that it will not kill him. Indifferent to the potentiality that it might.

He bursts forth from the dread tower of the dead, flinging back his heavy his heavy blood soaked hair, gasping out in the dark, sulphuric air.”

This badass Dagor Bragallach Maedhros scene is from Let us glorify the dark burden of fate

I shall tag @welcomingdisaster @thatfeanorian @last-capy-hupping and @jouissants

Thank you!

[melestasflight]

Russingon Throwback Thursday

Thanks for the tag @polutrope! Here's a snippet from And He Was Loved by the King - Fingon/Maedhros/Hador because these boys deserve an extra spice once in a while

Maedhros rarely found himself beside another naked body, unless it was Fingon's, so he remained long in the darkness observing Hador’s sleeping form. He was not old nor young by the reckoning of mortal people, but even the younger among the Edain had markings upon their skin. Scars that did not heal as well as the wounds of the Eldar, wrinkles that testified to the age of their hröar.

Hador's body was imperfect and yet beautiful. There was some strange comfort in that.

Ceased by this sudden wave of affection, Maedhros whispered to Fingon, ‘I never apologized to Hador for acting like a fool during his investiture yesterday.’ 

‘You did a lot more than that, my love,’ Fingon chuckled, unwilling as of yet to give up his comfortable position upon Hador’s shoulder.

Maedhros wrapped a leg tighter around Hador's hips. ‘Letting him fuck me to exhaustion is not a diplomatic apology, Fingon.’

‘I disagree, but I also see your point. Worry not, beloved, the situation can be easily mended in the eye of the public. You could offer a gift, perhaps?’

The proposition struck a chord — gifts were Maedhros’ love language. ‘I like the sound of that, but what could I offer without causing further scandal among your father's lords?’

‘What of the dragon-helm you gifted me? It would be seen as a sign of friendship from both our houses in the same manner as our alliance with the Blue Mountains. Besides, none of us ever had the right stature for that monstrous thing.’

Fingon raised his head to place a kiss on Hador’s strong neck as if to make a point. The man mumbled and stretched out in his sleep, revealing a deliciously firm torso.

When Hador awoke, Fingon and Maedhros were already waiting for him with a lavish breakfast and the dwarven helm nestled between them.

No pressure calling upon @searchingforserendipity25 @thelordofgifs @maglors-anion-gap @last-capy-hupping @spiritofwhitefire to give us a throwback to an older Russingon piece (a month, a year old? I don't care)

Fingon/Sons of Fëanor Kaleidoscope by Anonymous

[outofangband]

@last-capy-hupping asked me about Fingolfin’s view of Maedhros after his rescue and how that relates to his views on former prisoners in general and as  this is something I’ve thought a lot about as their relationship is one of my favorites and the topic of former prisoners in Beleriand is also one of my favorites I had a lot of fun with this!

much more on that in the post angband tag!

cw: mentions of ableism/stigma towards trauma survivors and general discussion of trauma and torture

Maedhros and Fingolfin had a close if strained relationship in Valinor. Fingolfin was Maedhros’s favorite uncle, being only a young adult himself when Maedhros was born and for

But acting as a mediator between Fëanor and Fingolfin was exhausting and left everyone involved resenting everyone else. When Maedhros followed his father to Foremenos, he mostly broke off contact with his other family and he did not part on particularly good terms with his uncle.

And then Mithrim. Fingolfin is desperately relieved that his eldest son has returned alive to him

Maedhros in Fingolfin’s eyes had gone from an eager and curious child to an overly serious youth to a potential ally to Fëanor who wouldn’t speak to him. And now he lies in the bed the healers have made up, on the brink of death, emaciated and scarred.

I’ve written before about how unprecedented Maedhros’s condition and circumstances are for the Noldor at this time. They have not been in Beleriand long enough to have much experience with this part of the Enemy’s doings. Few Noldor have so far been confirmed captives in Angband let alone managed to escape (or been released)

But injuries inflicted from years of intentional neglect and abuse are different and the psychological implications are even less understood.

We know that a deep suspicion of former prisoners is held by the Noldor later on but it’s just beginning now. Most of what they know come from rumors and from the memories of the older of the returned Noldor who heard from their parents whispers of the horrors of Morgoth’s work in Beleriand, the ways he twisted elves sometimes into grotesque monsters and sometimes in ways no one could see from the outside.

Their Sindarin allies in Mithrim have shared stories of those who escaped the mines of Angband, who now wander, haunted and unsettled. Of the rumors of deaths and violence and betrayal that follow them. It is because of their allies that they are able to identify the thrall brand that marks Nelyafinwë’s skin.

I know I have an entire Masterlist for this topic but I must emphasize again the sheer weight of this trauma; for decades, Maedhros has been in a position where nothing was guaranteed to him, where he had no power or say or autonomy over anything. Food, water, sleep, relief from pain, privacy, the ability to move, everything depended on the whims of his captors.

The memory of Angband lives in the blood and bones. It does not let go just because you have left its walls.

Maedhros knocks a glass of water from a healer’s hand when they pause to check his bandages before offering it. In his mind he is refusing to play the cruel games that so often come when water is offered. He is refusing to allow access to water to be controlled by his keepers again. Of course this is not understood by Nolofinwë’s host. Maedhros is believed to be irrationally distraught at best and dangerous or violent at worst.

Maedhros shouts in an unfamiliar language while half asleep. He frequently seems to refuse to communicate at all. It does not yet occur to the Nolofinwëan host that his own language might have been forbidden to him or that simple words (“I am leaving the house”, “I would like to eat sooner, I am very hungry”, “Don’t do that”) have been absolutely meaningless to the point of obscurity for him.

Fingolfin in the beginning views Maedhros with uncertainty. Uncertainty that he will survive the night, uncertainty that he will walk again, uncertainty if his reappearance is a good tiding for his host. Uncertainty if his nephew is truly still there. He openly dismisses and condemns the more hostile rumors; those who claim Maedhros is now loyal to the enemy, that he lives only through the darkest magic of Angband, that he can never be trusted. These rumors will only cause further discord among his host

But privately? I think he wonders these things himself. He has almost no experience with trauma or injuries of this kind. Certainly the Grinding Ice was unimaginably traumatic and Fingolfin both saw and aided in gruesome but necessary medical procedures. But it’s a different kind of trauma

Neither him nor anyone else truly knows what to expect

And that’s without the added tension of the old feud with Fëanor and the lingering anger over the betrayal that led to so many deaths on the ice. 

I think Fingolfin is not at all an innately callous person but he is a shrewd one. It does not escape his mind that the presence of Maedhros in his camp is a profound factor that can be used in potential negotiations with the Fëanorian host

Fingolfin would never deprive Maedhros of medical care or see him harmed or neglected or anything. Ideally to Fingolfin Maedhros need not ever know his position had any ulterior motives (certainly, Maedhros is already intensely suspicious of each kindness he receives in Mithrim as is typical of former prisoners). But if his position could be used to gain leverage with the Fëanorian host…he is glad it does not come to that. 

Fingolfin does feel compassion for Maedhros of course. He sits with him often while he’s still unable to leave his bed. He’s extremely supportive of Maedhros during his relearning walking, writing and fighting. But I think there’s an imbalance in their relationship here that Maedhros is acutely aware of and it’s not until Maedhros is able to return to living spaces of his own that he can build a stronger bond with his uncle.

Fingolfin does also question Maedhros about Angband when Maedhros agrees to submit to questions. This likely exacerbates the tension at least at first rather than bringing them closer. 

The sessions of questioning are long, exhausting and uncomfortable; fragments of practical knowledge that must be extracted from decades of horror. Maedhros is perhaps too eager to prove himself, to be of use in the fight against Morgoth and to show that he hides nothing. Fingolfin is perhaps too eager to be doing anything that gets him closer to a real plan

Later Fingolfin and Maedhros form a powerful alliance and friendship but in those first months and even years after his rescue, their relationship is tenuous. Because of Fingolfin’s questioning and Maedhros’s testimony and Fingolfin’s presence in those early days after his rescue, Fingolfin knows more context to seemingly casual references or phrases by Maedhros, knows to look further where others might not and definitely don’t want to. 

Maedhros is also at times uncomfortably conscious of just how much Fingolfin knows.

(Maedhros’s knowledge of Angband as both a horror and a weapon is something I love to talk about if anyone has any questions! or about anything!)

Also in my au where Maedhros is not rescued until the end of the war of wrath, re-embodied Fingolfin is one of his first visitors and advocates.

[i-did-not-mean-to]

Really don't worry about taking a break in the things you're working on. Your creativity is something to be enjoyed and celebrated and other people are (and should be) understanding of that. Your enjoyment and well-being are much more important than putting out your art. You're a human being, not a machine!

Dear anon,

I've kept this message in my inbox to tide me over whenever I was getting overwhelmed.

Today is the day I will post it, so your wise, kind, and encouraging words can benefit all my writer (and artist) friends.

You are, of course, right, but...I am so afraid of letting people down. So I throw myself into it as if there was no tomorrow.

I've finished THAUC (and need to reread it)

I've finished Kinktober (and have written 6 additional stories for the 31st)

I have made some progress with my calendar fics (1,5/3)

My S&D count is at a whooping 54 (with 2 more written and 1 to write for the moment)

This would not have been possible without your message.

It would not have been possible without @cilil, @goschatewabn, @elentarial, @sortumavaara, @elanna-elrondiel, @lordoftherazzles, @laurfilijames, @linasofia, @scyllas-revenge, @the-red-butterfly, @fishing4stars, @ruiniel, @sleepysandwichguy, @polutrope, @last-capy-hupping and many more.

A special shoutout to @lathalea, @legolasbadass, and @middleearthpixie as well who check on me even when I don't deserve it.

It would not have been possible without friends checking on my sorry ass.

It would not have been possible without art, memes, fics, inspiration, HC discussions, and all the moments I was given a reason to smile when I could barely think straight.

It would not have been possible without my husband and his enduring support.

I want this to be very clear: Yes, I am prolific, and I am fast, but I am not doing this in a vacuum. I am not a brave, little genius or something. I am just a little woman with a cushy job and very fast fingers.

I am the very definition of a transformative works writer, I bathe in someone else's ideas, energy, and strength at all times. I am one of many. I am part of a community, and they hold me up when I am too tired to move my arms so I don't drown.

Thank you, dear anon, for being part of that community for me!

If you ever need anything, be sure that I will be there, because I am aware of what I owe my people for being alive right now.

Lots of love!

[arofili]

I’d like to request Russingon, Autumn/winter, prompt 9 (I don’t need to be protected).

“I don’t need to be protected,” Findekáno snapped. “Honestly, Russo, you’re not going to break me by telling me the truth. I can handle it!”

Russandol flinched. “Finno…” he began, sounding just as weary and plaintive as before.

“Don’t ‘Finno’ me!” Findekáno cried. “Valar, Russo, it’s like you think I’m still a child! Do you love me or not? Do you want me or not? Stop dancing around it!”

“My father—”

“I’m not asking about your father,” Findekáno scoffed. “I know how he feels about me. I want y—I want to know about you.”

“I don’t want to hurt you,” Russandol whispered. “I—what I feel doesn’t matter—”

“It matters to me.” Findekáno wiped away an angry tear, then grabbed his would-be lover by the arm. “Tell me. Do you love me the way I love you? Or have you been leading me on for—for years?”

Russandol’s silver eyes were filled with anguish, but he was no less beautiful. When he closed them, Findekáno’s heart broke. He already knew what he would say.

“I do,” he croaked. “I do love you, Finno, I swear. But I can’t be with you. You deserve better than—than what I could give you.”

“But I want you,” Findekáno wept, still clinging to him for as long as he could. “I love you! I don’t care what I’d have to sacrifice—I don’t care if we’d need to keep our love a secret—anything, Russo, I’d do anything for you!”

And then Russo kissed him, slow and gentle, drawing back as Findekáno attempted to respond in full passion.

“We can’t,” he said softly, and there were tears in his eyes, too. “I’m sorry, Finno. But we—I can’t.”

“Russo,” Findekáno whispered, and watched him walk away.

[nerdanelparmandil]

I think I just read one of the best fanfics ever, and I need to recommend it:

by @last-capy-hupping (I hope that you don't mind me tagging you). Heed the warnings because it is explicit and graphic in part, but oh, it's wonderful. It's Fingon x Maedhros, during the Years of The Trees until the first battle in Beleriand, and it's a 300k words long masterpiece, with sequels!

[maglor-my-beloved]

@fellowshipofthefics here's what I whipped up really fast :D

I posted this on the wrong blog. Please forgive me! It's me, @i-did-not-mean-to, being an utter idiot!

Tidbit Thursday!

Thank you for the tag @melestasflight

This is from my Russingon Fae AU I saw pale kings and princes too

“On the morning of King Fingon’s coronation, they find him barefoot in only a long white tunic, knelt before the ash tree in the castle gardens. His long black curls are unbound, streaming damp with morning dew down his back, and the bottoms of his bare feet are dark with mud.

His aunt Lalwen, his father’s elder sister, best friend, and closest advisor is the only one with enough spine to approach the grieving, young King. When she approaches him, she sees that his ice blue eyes are wide open, staring intently up at the white sprigs of blossom that have begun to appear on the tree early in the Spring.

“Nephew,” she says softly, bending down to lay her hand on Fingon’s shoulder.

“He’s not here,” his voice rasps out in a rush. “I thought his spirit might linger here to see me into the next generation of his own Kingdom but he is not here.””

I will tag @thatfeanorian @last-capy-hupping and @disorganisedautodidact

6 fic recs on a not Sunday

got tagged by @welcomingdisaster @polutrope and @ruiniel to share a 6-liner from my WIPs, thanks, friends!

I'm experiencing one of my periodic creative hibernations, where I sit back, prune my leaves and read, so instead of my own work, I'll share 6 of my recent TRSB favorites.

Song of Sirion (G 15k) by @welcomingdisaster for an Edrahil you will fall in love with, a brave and wise Finduilas, battles, friendship, and river magic, not to mention a cute dog and animal rescue. The aftermath of losing Tol Sirion.

When All Other Lights Go Out (G 5k) by @sallysavestheday where a Fëanorian heirloom transcends time to offer comfort, remembrance and healing throughout ages and generations.

Atanatárissë (T 17k) by @eilinelsghost for a mind-blowing in-universe storytelling. A thread of archeology running from Númenor back to the days of Bëor.

What a Wicked Game You Play to Make Me Feel This Way (T 22k) by @last-capy-hupping where the Fëanorians travel to Falmari land and young Tyelco discovers an unforeseen love for the sea and maybe a cousin, too. Lots of worldbuilding, fun and adventure, and young Celegorm/Aegnor, trust me, it's a ship you never knew you needed.

Lessons Of The Sea (G 15k) by @searchingforserendipity25 where it's finally Elrond's turn to be welcomed and healed. A magical journey on the Sea, bonding with Finrod over old griefs and loves, remnants of Númenor and a voice that both of them recognize.

Inflection (G 10k) by @thelordofgifs where Maedhros fears he may lose the last brother remaining to him and finds succor in the Peredhil twins. A careful treatment of the relationships at Amon Ereb.
