Gil Galad as a the Child of Fingon and trans Maedhros Headcanons pt 1

Maedhros calls all his brothers, except the Ambarussa who were staying with Finrod, to Himring and gets everyone else to leave them alone in the war room. At this point his brothers are really concerned that there is a serious military matter that not even their generals can know about and very anxious about what Maedhros is going to say.

Maedhros informs them that there is a serious diplomatic situation that has the potential to become absolute political carnage. Now everyone is really confused because weren’t Celegorm and Curufin far away from everyone important right now? Surely Maedhros has not caused a scandal. He’s the most diplomatic person alive. Then he tells them he’s pregnant.

Everyone takes a few minutes to register, not quite believing what they heard. Then Maglor asked the question that probably should have occurred to them all by now. ‘With who’s child’. If it was possible for the room to get more silent it did. All the brothers were incredibly uncomfortable with the realisation that one did not just conceive a child by themselves having never had any desire to think of their eldest brother in that sort of context.

Maedhros refuses to meet their eyes which is perhaps even more disconcerting. ‘Well that’s the diplomatic disaster part’. Celegorm privately thought the idea of the unmarried, military leader of most of the Noldor getting themselves knocked up without explanation was scandal enough but for once decided not to voice this. ‘It’s Findekáno’s’. The only thing Curvo could get out of his mouth was ‘What the fuck Nelyo.’ Celegorm stated ‘ Yep, we’re fucking screwed” and left it at that. Caranthir seemed to share this belief.

“So you’re telling me that right now you, the former high king of the Noldor and leader of the house of Feanor, are carrying the child of the eldest son of Nolofinwe, our current high king, and the heir to the throne. This could destroy our relationship with the Nolofinwëans and our own supporters alike! The sheer level of scandal this would be is unimaginable! This could absolutely destroy us altogether and send the entire family into political ruin!” Moryo proceeds to yell for a awhile.
