#daemags children

[anittmyer]

Alright! Here is some more angst for Daemags!!!!

(Some context first: Daeron and Maglor were able to have children through magical means due to Daeron being half Maia, their prowess in song as well. They basically sang their kids into creation. What a vibe. They have two daughters and twins boys. Since this AU Maglor doesn't swear the oath, I need hard angst to get him on on track to lonely self exile.)

'When Daeron learns of Beren's death, he is so consumed by guilt and shame that he leaves Doriath in the night, abandoning his family.'

Maglor is woken up by a herald of Thingol, telling him the king demands to speak with him. He checks his twins in their cradles before following the herald to the throneroom of Doriath. Only Thingol and Melian are present, but the queen has a sad and distant look on her face, while Thingol seemed stern and angry.

"Daeron has fled Doriath. His actions killed the man Luthien finds.. love with." The statement is clear, yet with a hint of disgust. Maglor's face turned pale and cold. His husband had abandoned them...

"Luthien won't return to Doriath if her brother's spouse resides. So. Maglor. You are to return to your brother in Himring immediately. "

The King's orders sent a cold spike through Maglor. First his husband abandons him and their children, and now he is being sent away... again... First by his father and now by his father-in-law.

Maglor bows his head trying to hide his tears from King Thingol. He must not cause trouble. He must not cause trouble.

"As you wish my King... maybe I be excused? I must prepare my children for-"

Maglor was cutoff by Thingol standing from his throne abruptly and making his way over to the Noldor elf.

"The children will not be going with you."

The words echoed in the hall. Maglor felt his heart stop and fall. His children... the elflings he'd had since he and his husband sang them into creation. All four of their children were born in a glade of purple moon flowers under Ithil. Their voices would be hoarse, but it was worth the new addition to their family.

His eldest daughter, Winyárissë (Fresh Dawn), so strong and fierce, more ready to hold a sword and bow, her love for her black steed she had raised with Maglor's help. Her black hair and light brown eyes made her out to be a beautiful raven-like nìs. His second daughter, Harmië (Treasure) a seemingly opposite to her older sister, a sweet girl and an artist. A lover of jewlery and dresses, she was a clumsy dancer but loved to dance all the same. Maglor could watch her dance forever... She was silver haired with bright grey eyes, almost as if they contained tree light. And then his twins... his two little boys... not looking like each other at all: Lahtarion (Surpasser), with his dark hair from Maglor and a singular silver streak and beautiful brown eyes from Daeron. And Luhtano (To echant), with his silver hair but two different colored eyes, one a stormy grey and the other a deep rich brown. The twins were still so young... still small enough to sleep in a cradle. And Thingol was demanding him to leave his children? All because Daeron made a stupid and rash decision!?

"B-but sire... they are my children! I-i can't just leave them! They need-"

Meglor was once more cut off by the king. His stone cold face held no sympathy.

"The children will reside in the care of Queen Melian, she will provide for them. You however must leave Doriath." Thingol looked down on the shorter elf. He felt the smallest shred of pitty for him, but his daughter came before his son's foreign bride.

"Please do not make this harder than it has to be. Gather your personal items and leave. A servant has already fetched and prepared your horse. I'm sorry but this is the way it must be."

Thingol said with his head held high. Maglor couldn't believe what was happening... Thingol had this already planned. He should have known the Doriathrim would never accept him.

"Can I at least say goodbye...?" Maglor asked, tears covered his pale cheeks and his hands shook.

ANNNNNDDDD I'll stop it there! I will release the entire short story on my AO3 soon! I will tag it here when I post it!

Below will be fanfic recs for ASOIAF, 80 DAYS, THE BURNING KINGDOMS, and TOLKIEN. Once again, I’ve tried to break the Tolkien recs down by character groupings but you all know what a thankless task that is. (。・ω・。)

Past fanfic rec lists

The Burning Kingdoms

Cautionary Tale by @meadowlarkx - M - 1.4k - Malini/Priya, Mani Ara/Priya - Lark blows it out of the water with the character dynamics here, and Mani Ara preying on Priya post-TOS when she's vulnerable, particular wrt her feelings for Malini, feels so on-point.

It Would Make Every Nightingale Sing by eye_of_a_cat - M - 6.6k - Elwing/Maedhros - The pairing is certainly unusual, but this author makes it work so well and follows such a captivating arc of development for it.

Love is Not Love Which Alters When it Alteration Finds by i_did_not_mean_to - E - 3.5k - Melian/Thingol - Delightful Thelian piece which just revels in the strangeness of their relationship and how much each of them enjoys it.

Pity For Your Hurts by @thelordofgifs - 666 - G - Finduilas/Gwindor - Finduilas and Gwindor before his capture </3 This piece captures a very ~courtly love~ kind of feel in their relationship and despite differences, you can see how much they care for each other.

Untitled by @jouissants - NR - MY FUCKING HEART. Five sentences and I’m gone. Finrod stop hurting me challenge 2k24.

Untitled by @tanoraqui - NR - Feanor & Fingolfin - Love that tasty angsty awkward post-rebirth Feanor-Fingolfin bonding.

Untitled by @polutrope - NR - Daeron/Maglor - Beautiful little Daemags fic…<3 Really enjoy the touches of Maglor’s nostalgia and I’m a sucker for him treating Daeron like a treasure.

A Monster in the Shadows by @hobbitwrangler - G - 3k - Eowyn & Theoden - Really cute but also heartbreaking bonding between Eowyn and Theoden, when Eowyn is new to Edoras and still recovering from her parents’ deaths :( Author does a great job capturing how that grief might manifest for a child!

Cousin, Sister, Lover, Queen by broken_pencils - E - 11k - Eowyn/Lothiriel - This one is so good and so bittersweet and hit so many real notes. I’m just aching for Eowyn. The author does a great job of balancing her inherent unhappiness as a lesbian in a marriage with a man with the deep platonic love she obviously has for Faramir, and Lothiriel is such fun in this.

Fade by Lady Ash - E - 6.2k - Denethor/Gandalf - Can I say something other than "Denethor/Gandalf BDSM relationship" that would entice you more?

Ode to a Nightingale by @maironsbigboobs - E - 1k - Aragorn/Arwen -  Some light, fun, Aragorn/Arwen smut.

Plentiful as Sand is Plentiful by @searchingforserendipity25 - G - 675 - I so love this look at Aragorn and Elrond’s relationship <3

Shake Loose All Your Garnet Jewels by lastwingedthing - T - 2.8k - Arwen/Eowyn - Lovely lovely fic on “what if Arwen and Eowyn had been part of the Fellowship?” Absolutely cinematic!

Untitled by @swanmaids - NR - Annael & Rian - Rian :((( Her story is so sad and yet there are at times griefs that cannot be overcome and Heather captures that very well here.

Without Dawn, No Evening by pscoptera - M - 4.6k - Arwen/Eowyn - If you want a truly historic fic, this one was originally written before the Return of the King film had released. A really interesting look at Eowyn’s sexuality and desires with what feels like realistic muddling of the issues in her mind.

Hobbits

On These Hither Shores by Arveldis - G - 3.2k - Boromir & Frodo - Boromir and Frodo bonding (sort of)! This fic does a great job capturing their feelings.

The Power of Tea by @hobbitwrangler - G - 1.8 - Bilbo & Gilraen - Fantastic character dynamics! And Bilbo feels so in-character.

Twist to Uncoil by katajainen - G - 1.3 - Bilbo & Thranduil - Ahhh lovely lovely look at Thranduil and Bilbo’s relationship as Bilbo recounts his time living in Mirkwood unseen.

A List of What I Received for Scribbles and Drabbles 2022

This year I was delighted to be gifted several different written works for Scribbles and Drabbles! I've collected all links and summaries here - I couldn't decide on an order, so I just decided to go with the order in which I received Ao3 notifications for them. (I've put links under a readmore to avoid taking over people's dashboards.)

Portal to Anywhere by Shadow This is about the doors we step through during our lives. Both the real ones and the metaphysical ones.

Early One Morning by elennalore Nolofinwë is often awake before anyone else. This morning, however, he finds Maitimo at his favourite spot by the lake; Maitimo who has not left his sickbed since his rescue.

One day... by I_did_not_mean_to This is my submission for Art Number 107 - Tree Mosaic by Anne Wolfe. In honour of my friend Polutropos, I made it a DaeMags piece; I truly hope that's okay with the artist. Lots of love from me, enjoy this drabble straight from my heart!

Family Portrait by maglor_my_beloved Having a portrait of four young children painted isn't easy

I know I've loved you before by I_did_not_mean_to This is my submission for Art Number 118 - Portal to Anywhere by Anne Wolfe. Thank you for being so kind and inspiring; as you can see by the word count, this one ran a little bit away with me for a Drabble lol Either way, I hope this amuses you a little… Lots of love!

Riven Water by Anerea Elrond meets the maker of the Bruinen River valley where he built his homely house… and they both learn they have a lot more in common than may be thought.

The Rings and the Triforce by Zhie The true power of the three Elven rings was not in their making, but in the power of the stones they held.

Robe de Style by lferion Luthien liked bright colors and contrasts.

Always Arwen by Zhie Elladan and Elrohir tour the halls of the Gondor Archives with their sister and give their opinions on royal names.

Colours of your Heart by maglor_my_beloved Gil-Galad knows the part he is expected to play, and he plays it well. Elrond refuses to play a part.

Eä, not Oz by lferion Dorothy finds herself not in Oz, but someplace Other

Waiting at the Walls by Zhie Bergil watches over the walls, waiting on the eve of battle. He asks his father questions; some are easier to answer than others.

Let the Only Sound be the Overflow by Lorinand_Lost Elwing dreams of transformation. For Scribbles and Drabbles 2022 for Anne_Wolfe's playlist submission

In the Halls of Waiting by lferion Being an impression of one Elf's journey in Mandos

Sunrise by lferion Watching the sun rise

[imakemywings]

I feel like just yesterday it was Monday (＃°Д°)

Over the Unclear Eyes of Memory by Loriand_Lost - Such a touching and realistic look at Fingolfin's return from Mandos. The author does such a great job of handling the feelings of Anaire and the children.

Games and Fantasy by Genesis_Grey - Arwen and Eowyn play sexy games and win sexy prizes. They have a really fun dynamic here!

Shadow of the Evening by RussetFiredrake - This is EVERYTHING that is tasty about Arwen/Eowyn with ALL the chivalric devotion of Eowyn and all the tender but restrained affection from Arwen </3 I'm in love with this fic.

Such Players Only Have There Been by Anonymous - It's that tasty conflicted antagonistic post-First Age Daemags smut. Daeron strings Maglor out and Maglor loves it for all his complaints.

Happy Friday, Fellowship! 💛

Oh! In your last post you said you ship Daemags! I was wondering if you have any headcanons for it? (I ship it too and I love to hear other people’s interpretations!)

Thank you for your question! I love Daemags a lot and just the thought of these two makes me both very happy and very sad.

In my own humble opinion Daeron is probably Maglor's best option for a canon character as a spouse just because of how one could interpret their dynamic

For me personally I always go by the version in the Legendarium where Daeron and Lúthien are siblings just because I like it more and because the world needs more eldritch half Maia children

This also gives Maglor the chance to argue against Daeron's status as the greatest Minstrel of the Elves because he [Daeron] isn't technically fully elvish and I love some petty Noldorin prince

His voice like Lúthien's is very beautiful but unlike her he has absolutely no control over the powers it holds (I like to imagine that out of the two he inherited more of Melian's more obvious Maiarin trades)

When he tries to sing for people, even if it is just a simple lullaby, his voice effects them in various unpleasant ways like hysteria, hypnosis or even straight up a years long coma (he hasn't sung anyone to death yet though)

Hence why he plays the flute, there is no chance that he'll start singing along while he's a playing, it's just perfect! Also composing because that's a very safe way to make music without actually hurting anyone.

Maglor on the other hand has always been singing constantly and he just can't play an instrument that doesn't allow him to sing along → he absolutely hates to play any type of wind instrument

Maglor's voice has more calming and soothing effects on the people listening, he was always very good at singing his younger siblings and cousins to sleep

Daeron might be a tiny bit (very much) jealous of that ability

They meet for the first time at the Mereth Aderthad the feats that Fingolfin holds at the beginning of the First Age

At first they get along well because they have finally found somebody who shares their enthusiasm over music and they even have a duet together during the feast where Daeron plays the flute and Maglor the lyre

Later on though both of them realise how hella competitive they are and things get heated for a while until they get to a point where they don't talk to eachother for centuries

Ok they write eachother letters but nobody knows about that (Luthien and Maedhros definitely know) in which they discuss and fight over various theories regarding music and songs of power

When Daeron vanishes from Doriath to look for Lúthien, he ends up meeting Maglor somewhere in the wild and they actually see eachother again for the first time in centuries

They don't talk but Maglor's company helps Daeron come to terms with what he has done

Like he basically betrayed his sister (who all those years had kept his contact with Maglor a secret) because he was jealous over her requited love for a human and now people are dying because of this

He also realises how deeply in love he has fallen with Maglor at this point which causes him to flee into the woods once again, leaving his flute behind in his panic

Maedhros doesn't question why Maglor carries a flute with him from that point on

Maglor looks for Daeron when they pick up a more nomadic lifestyle after the second kinslaying in the hopes of finding him again

He tells Elrond and Elros about their great-granduncle and even gifts Elros Daeron's flute on the day they separate

It's Elrond who asks him whether he ever told daeron that he loves him and Maglor can't do anything but shake his head

When Maglor throws the Silmaril into the sea and starts wandering the shores he sometimes images to hear the whistle of a flute somewhere in the distance but he never follows that sound

Same goes for Daeron roaming the vastly shrinking forests of Middle Earth who sometimes thinks he can hear a voice from far across the land

When they meet eachother again eventually, I imagine that both of them are very touch starved and haven't had any social contacts for centuries

Not much talking between them, just Maglor singing Daeron to sleep when he has nightmares and Daeron playing the flute to silence the ghosts in Maglor's mind

Daeron knows what Maglor has done, the voices of the earth and sea have told him, but he also knows that he loves the other too much to hate him

He sometimes talks about his family to Maglor and he is aware that this is a very cruel thing to do, especially the when he mentions Nimloth who used to be the only one who even encouraged him to sing something but sometimes he just can't help himself

In return Maglor sometimes tells happier tales of his own family back in Valinor but those mostly end in broken sobs

Their story is basically that of two lost souls who find solace in one another and learn to live again while the world around them changes

I don't know if they sail eventually or if they just continue to travel and live separated from all forms of civilization until the world is made new

Neither of them ever outright state that they love the other but both of them know it

I hope your exams go well! I have some right now and I have done approximately 45 minutes max of voluntary revision :/

As for the asks, can you please tell more about Daeron? You mentioned (way back in the Daemags post) that you head canon him as a son of Melian and Thingol and I love that idea if you would like to run with it?

- Captain Anon

Hi!! Yessssss! And yeah same for the not really studying thing (does it show in my activity on here?) 

Ok three primary arguments for him being their son: 1. Eldritch vibessssss 2. an interesting character that way (as opposed to the other where it’s mostly just snape-ey and weird) 3. the ULTIMATE middle child.

Eldritch vibes:  The world is made of music and Daeron is the foremost singer/ musician in the world. That tops both Luthien and Maglor (bringing up Luthien because we all know the shit she pulled with the Song).  And I imagine that power is even more magnified in Doriath: Daeron would sing and the forest would stop. Just to listen. The same way Thingol fell asleep for however long from Malians enchantment, you could die listening to Daeron’s music and your corpse would keep on listening. Just- super scary eldritch children, ok? Not to mention the classic teeth a little too long, eyes a little too bright, voice a little more musical with every word is sculpted in the air. Thank you and good night.

Story line: Ok so one of the reasons I like the siblings is because all the other siblings seem to get along so well, even if they dont particularly like each other all that much. And also before I continue this, just fair warning it’s practically a whole ass AU.

We start of this au/canon/whatever the hell im saying and the two siblings are really close, and (in part to being weird eldritch childs and in part because they actually get along) spend almost their time together.

This continues as they grow older, certainly they make other friends as they go into their separate roles in the kingdom, but mostly it’s those two together. In the forest singing.

I think Beren shows up, and I mean at first they ran away because um scary? but obvs Luthien gets over that really fast, Daeron not so much. They’ve been raised in an isolationist country, I feel like he’s not to happy with the *new person.*

And hey I get to mirror that Maia obsessiveness I was chatting about for Annatar and Melian when I say Daeron is that way about Luthien. Which. Creepy. but still much less creepy in my opinion than as a random courtier, ya know?

Daeron makes bad decisions pt 1:  he spies on the couple for Thingol because a)weird outsider mortal is sketchy, and Daeron Does Not Like and b) no that’s his sister, who’s supposed to hangout with him, not Beren. So yeah, maybe the idea that beren is Dangerous is just a justification of that but really, thats no one’s buissiness but daeron’s.

Daeron makes bad decisions pt 2: Ok listen telling Thingol Luthien was gonna go to rescue Beren is actually a decision I could get behind. Cause.um. deadly quest designed to get people killed is not for siblings. Still, over all bad idea.

Daeron is helpful: on try 2 it’s like ok fine. Go be with Beren.

Luthien is lost and Daeron goes for a hike pt 1: Ok i briefly mentioned this, but I think at some point he realized he had to return to Doriath, and then just… decided not to face a home that was missing his sister and also held his parents and whatever they were going through.

Luthien is lost and Daeron goes for a hike pt 2: I think when he hears Luthien’s dead it’s really upsetting, and that’s the point at which he actually departs from the areas of the forest he knew.

Anyways, I find the version of the story interesting because if he really *did* intentionally loose himself in the dark forests/places of the world, that’s 300 years and the repeated collapse of his country (which like… more guilt). It reminds me a lot of maglor, just sans all the murdering, which is why I think Daemags is an interesting ship.

-

Middle child:  I dont think I need to explain this one. His other siblings (Luthien and Turin) get whole books on them. They are followed by the narrative to their death and beyond. Daeron runs off to the forest and is never Once mentioned again. Iconic.

Also, the unfortunate truth is I don’t have permission to buy the not lotr tolkien books. And since my family’s very paranoid about covid, I can’t check out physical books from the library... so long story short if my canon in any of my posts is a little wack that’s why.

Thanks so much for the ask!!! Have a great day <3

I realized I can kinda get away with Daeron and Maglor having children together without it being SUPER weird because Daeron got them maia powers from mother.

I will curate info for their two daughters and twins sons! This also makes room for my new headcanon that elves having twins is a lot more common then any other race or species. That and the elves that have had twins were all in close proximity to the silmarils (Dior, Elwing, Elrond kinda of)

The Feanorian Colony Pt. 2!

. . . .

. Elrond and Erestor are taken in for the night and it is then they learn of the colonys' beginning.

. They were mostly feanorians loyalists from Thargelion, Himring, and Maglor's gap. Though few were among the original forces that came to Beleriand with Feanor and served him as their king.

. Elrond and Erestor also learned that among the Colony were those of escaped thralls of Angband that Maedhros had taken in when others turned them away. Those held great respect and loyalty to Maedhros specifically.

. Erestor, who still held a grudge against his father, asked why the others stayed and remained loyal. They explained that it was all they knew and they also knew they wouldn't be excepted into Lindon, The Gray Havens, and maybe even Eregion. Celebrimbor may have been of Feanor's blood, but that did not mean he would want his kinslaying uncle's soldiers in his city. But most importantly, they were treated like family..

. Elrond looks around at the elves, many black haired and grey eyed like the Noldor commonly are, but some truly remind him of Maglor, half starved and pale, paasing up on meals so his brother could use the nutrients to heal and for him and Elros to eat.

. Elrond then made a proposal to the Colony, that they join him when he founds his own homely city. They agree to speak with their elders and to give a decision by tomarrow.

. The two are surprised at how many elves actually were to settle to go to sleep, as normally elves didn't sleep as often as other races or even Peredhel. But Elrond remembered form his time with Maglor and Maedhros, that starvation causes fatigue and sleep becomes more common.

. Elrond's sleep was interrupted by singing, slightly familiar but still a mystery to his sleep addled mind. He follows the song the the edge of the Colony camp and found a relatively large tent, a small ways away from the main camp.

. Elrond crept to tent flap and quietly pushed it aside to peek inside. His heart stopped in his chest and dropped all the same.

. There in a bed centered in the middle of the tent, was Maglor... eyes closed, chest rising and falling evenly. His long black and now grey hair laid loose around his head, his face was pale and gaunt, it was also marked by little scars. He looked truly ill...

. "Come in young Peredhel..." A voice spoke to Elrond. The young lord entered and saw another surprising figure. Daeron, prince of Doriath and former husband to Maglor.

. . .

YES! Part 2 you guys! I included Daemags AND Daeron is also a child of Thingol and Melian. In a certain related AU Daemags has children. If anyone is interested😏

[iminye]

Do you have any ideas on Daemags and Maglor/his spouse kinda existing in the same world?

Maglor still has both of his hands unlike some other folks :)

Ok bad jokes aside. The gender or identity of Maglor's spouse is actually never specified by Tolkien. In his texts it just says that he was also wed which can imply a lot of things and people can make of it what they want.

The easy way to answer this is that Daeron is the spouse this line speaks of and that is that, you don't have to wonder how you can still ship Daemags when the text states that Maglor was married because his spouse is very much a textual ghost. They can be whoever and whatever you want them to be. Daeron. An OC. Some other canon characters. Anything and nobody can tell you you're wrong because we have no other information.

But if you're like me and already invested time into developing a character to be Maglor's wife with like a background, character arc, an entire fucking family tree and get attached to her and the children you have developed for them uh yeah Laws and Customs of the Eldar is super rude for like outright stating that elves only get married once (I think. If not then my anger is not justified and I apologise).

So when I'm writing something Maglor related I always have to choose between a world where my version of his wife doesn't exist so that I can ship him with Daeron, or I go with a world in which she exists and give Daemags a shit ton of unresolved sexual tension. Both is not ideal.

Or I just say: Fuck it Maglor has two spouses now. Which is, truth to be told, most of the time.

Hope this helps. Happy shipping
