♕ When looking for ideas for the new species he wanted to create, Melkor soon became aware of lizards that lived nearby. He found them promising in terms of survivability in the harsh environment around his strongholds - them being ectotherms* actually coming in handy - and in battle thanks to their scales

[*ectotherm = cold-blooded organisms that often rely on external heat sources]

♕ He continuously developed and expanded on the dragon design. First his little lizard friends needed to become bigger and stronger and grow harder scales; then it occurred to him to add fire breath as yet another weapon in their arsenal (most likely inspired by his own inclination towards the element of fire) and, later on, wings as well

♕ What started out as part of his war effort soon became a passion project and his favourite creation. Melkor began to feel attached to his dragons and dragonlings and they were his pride and joy

♕ Making them intelligent and giving them the ability to speak soon led to the first instance of a dragonling calling him "dada", perceiving him as its father. Melkor was surprised, but found himself strangely unwilling to correct this

♕ He had never really perceived himself as a father in the traditional sense, but very much desired to be perceived as a father/creator figure by beings in Arda like Eru himself is, as well as how Aulë is seen by the Dwarves; and he realised that he wanted to be the Father of Dragons rather than just a dragon breeder

♕ Melkor took to hatching dragon eggs himself, putting them into dedicated fire places (and sometimes the ovens in Mairon's forge when he ran out of space) for their safety, and always kept an eye on his brood. Approaching the eggs without permission was overall a terrible idea

♕ He also made sure to be present when the little ones hatched, not only to help out when needed, but also because he loved being the first thing they saw, which led to them getting very attached to him

♕ Mairon soon found their shared bedroom infested with little dragon nests due to Melkor not wanting to leave his babies alone, and newly hatched dragonlings liked to crawl all over the two and their Balrog buddies for body heat and cuddles. The Dark Lord was pretty much always seen with at least one sitting on or clinging to him and he enjoyed their childish admiration and unconditional love

♕ The little ones also could do no wrong in Melkor's eyes. A random Orc or prisoner got eaten? No problem - the poor thing was probably hungry. Someone got fire blown in their face? Maybe the little darling sneezed - or they deserved it. Little Glaurung ran outside to chase Elves before he was supposed to? Well - inconvenient, but who could blame the darling dragon for wanting to hunt? It must have been someone else's fault for not closing the gate in time

♕ It soon became apparent that dragons tended to become attached to gold and hoard it. Mairon theorised that this must be due to Melkor's essence contained within this element in particular, which Melkor agreed with - truth to be told, he really liked the thought that his "children" loved him so much

i am once again LOSING MY MIND OVER DRAGONS

my,,,babies?? fire breathers?? scaly slinkies?? flappy lizards?? YESSS!! YES YES

[i-did-not-mean-to]

Awwww...adorable 🥺🥺🥺

Nice work on the invented name and I love the little kiss on the head...I would love to hear that story about that vocally-challenged elf 🤣

You are so damn funny and sweet, and I am so happy you've joined us writers so your wit and humour can sparkle in more ways ❤️❤️❤️

Bedtime story

A short daddy Melkor & baby Glaurung drabble I wrote for the B2ME mission

“—and that concludes the wonderful tale of Tilda the terrible.“

The dark lord gives a satisfied sigh, closing the book before regarding the plump golden dragonling, who’d made a comfy nest for himself from his favorite blankie, in his arms. *so cute* He coos in his mind before shifting in his seat, preparing to stand up and urging his son to do the same. “Now, it’s time for you to skedaddle of to bed, Glaurung”

But the dragonling refuses to move, he makes himself even more comfortable in the warm lap before chirping up at his creator; “More!”

Melkor suppresses the chuckle from hearing that demanding tone, he really shouldn’t indulge Glaurung lest he turn into a spoiled brat --but the expectantly swishing tail is almost enough to sway the valas resolve but no! He needs to put his boot down and be a responsible paren-- “Please, dada?”

The dark lord of Arda is single-handedly defeated by a pair of huge imploring dragon eyes. His heart swells, or it would if he Had a heart -being a bunch of musical notes tied together with some anti-material string and Erus ear wax means that he’s very much lacking in the internal organs department- nevertheless, Melkor reclines back into the plush chair and flips the book around -he’s not actually reading it, just making things up as he goes along- and gets ready to tell another tall tale to his precious spoiled baby.

“Once upon a time there lived a tiny elf named Fingilgarondriel--” “Dada why does the elves names sound like they’re talking with a hot potato in their mouth?” Melkor chuckles at his sons question and kisses the top of his scaly golden head before answering “Not just their names but their whole language, it’s because they have those silly leaf eating teeth, they can’t Hiss or GROWL like proper people.” Melkor hisses through his sharp black teeth and the growl he lets out is so deep that Glaurung can feel it resonate within him. The little dragonling lets out a happy giggle when his creators words tickle him. Listening to Glaurungs happy chirping laugh once again fills Melkor with the lovely gooey feelings that he wishes would never fade~<3

But he’s the Dark Lord and so he valiantly fights off the goofy grin, which is aggressively tugging up the corners of his mouth, before his carefully crafted scary image is completely ruined.

“Let’s get back to the story, shall we?” At Glaurungs enthusiastic nod Melkor clears his throat and continues to ‘read’ the ‘storybook’ to his sweet little son who after just a short while ends up falling into a comfortable sleep right there in his lap and Melkor sees no reason to rush Glaurung to his own bed, instead he sits there, in their favorite chair just holding his precious baby, whispering sweet endearments and promising to forever protect and love him no matter what.

Stealthros AU

[from this ask!]

The Basics: Malkor establishes his on kingdom in Middle-earth, enthralling/enslaving most of the elves before being defeated by the Valar and tossed into Mandos to contemplate his bad behavior (no elves ever went to Valinor). When he gets out on good behavior, he steals three glowing eggs from a group of dragons, killing dragon!Finwe and wounding dragon!Nerdanel in the process (similar process to Melkor leaving in the book). He then flees across the sea back to Middle-earth to reclaim his kingship. The rest of the dragon family chases after him, desperate to get their unhatched children/siblings back. The dragons work with the free peoples to over-throw Melkor, Feanor is killed at some point never seeing his lost eggs again. — @nighttimepatrons has some fricken awesome art of these dragons. Go check it out! —

Now, the dragons never tell their tentative allies that the ‘silmarils’ are eggs, so as far as anyone knows, the silmarils are just special gems that the dragons want back. Once Melkor is defeated, the elves/men/dwarves don’t give the remaining dragons the silmarils as agreed upon when the alliance was first made, keeping them for themselves (the light of the silmarils helps crops grow and keeps evil creatures away and are just all around very tempting things to keep hold of in a war-ruined land).

Inevitably, this leads to the dragons turning on the newly freed peoples (ie, welcome to the kinslayings on a massive scale). The dragons die one by one, the eggs always just out of reach. Celegorm has a classic western dragon arc with Luthien and Beren before they slay him. Finally, it’s down to Maedhors (the Enormous) and Maglor, and Celebrimbor who never took part in the slaughter for the silmarils because he loves elves, and he’s actually living in Eregion with the elves.

Because Kidnap Fam is kind of a requirement for us, M+M end up with young Elros and Elrond after another failed attempt to get a silmaril. M+M raise E+E and they become half-feral, fearless foster sons committed to helping their dragon dads get what’s theirs!

Okay, that was a lot but there you have the basis for the AU. Now on to some fun details.

The AU got it’s name because Elros is a silly guy who is very proud of how sneaky he can be, how stealthy. He calls himself Stealthros (get it? Stealthy Elros. Steathros. We’re so funny)

Now, because Elros and Elrond are So stealthy and sneaky and want to help their dads, who by this time are starting to give up, they decide to sneak into the treasury of the Noldor King and get the silmaril hidden within. Things go great until they get caught. Elros manages to escape (Stealthros for the win!) but Elrond gets tossed into a prison cell while the king figures out what to do.

Let’s talk about Gil-galad, the King of the Noldor.

Gil-galad, like many of the Noldor, was a thrall of Morgoth, freed after the dragons defeated the Vala. He bares a passing resemblance to Fingon, one of the free Noldor kings who died during the wars and dear friend of Maedhros. With some coaching from Cirdan (who never was a thrall), Gil-galad manages to convince the newly freed and leaderless Noldor that he is the son/grandson of Fingon. Whatever your thoughts on this deception, he’s doing a great shop of rebuilding the world and ensuring people don’t starve. Maedhros refuses to meet with him for any kind of treaties to end the attacks because he knows this upstart usurper is no relation of Fingon the Valiant. Gil-galad has the scars of a setting/rising star cut into his forehead. He doesn’t talk about it.

He's a good king, and he’s terrified when he ends up with a silmaril. He feels the Doom hanging over him and a bit of disappointment: from the stories, he expected something far grander from a silmaril, something glowing with otherworldly light, bright and holy; instead, all he has is a slightly shiny rock that collects dust and invites two nasty dragons to descend on the city. Whatever goodness and power that was housed in the thing is long gone. He hates it.

Now he has this this wild half-elf, foster son of the same monsters, too. He’s so Doomed.

He tries to talk with Elrond. In an ideal world, he’d get an agreement where he frees the boy and gives him the rock, but based on history, even that could bring death flying on dragon wings.

The talk doesn’t go well. Elrond appears to have forgotten his native language, and he only hisses and snaps at Gil-galad, even biting his hand when he gets too close!

There’s only one thing for it: he sends a message to Eregion, asking for someone who’s learned dragon-speech from Celebrimbor to home translate for him.

Celebrimbor is kind of a busybody, though, so he flies over to Lindon himself to see what’s going on and meet the elf-child his uncles raised.

Elrond bullies Celebrimbor. He’s so mean to the dragon 100x his size, it’s unbelievable. He says all kinds of things about Celebrimbor abandoning his family. He punches him in the nose!—Celebrimbor has no idea how to handle this from someone so small. He maybe cries a little. Gil-galad tries not to get second-hand embarrassment.

And that’s kind of it. I Elrond gets back to his dragon dads (Stealthros probably breaks him out), Gil-galad and Celebrimbor probably don’t die (but couldn’t you just imagine a scene like that one from HotD, with Elros on Maedhros chasing them down? shivers).

I’m sure Nightie has more awesome ideas to share (especially focused on the dragons)!

Ask me about fics that live rent-free in my head!

Managed to get the energy together to draw a doodle of Dragon Dad Melkor and baby Glaurung. Shout out to @cilil for manifesting some energy for me haha.

[gospelxforxthexfallenxones]

Working on redrawing dragon dad! Melkor because I can.

[tar-thelien]

Rewrote chapter 3 of child!Melkor and Elrond trying to be a better dad than Eru :)

Summary:

Melkor gets a dragon plus and Celebrían gets a laugh

Words: 632

"I want a dragon!" Melkor suddenly declared a day they were again sitting on a balcony. Melkor drawing and Elrond looking through documents.

"A dragon, like a living one?"

“Yes! And if I can’t get a dragon, I want a snake!”

"I doubt you'll be granted permission to get a dragon... perhaps a snake could be a more realistic option?" Melkor simply let out a disapproving grunt in response to Elrond´s suggestion.

"Do you have any family?" he inquired a little later, seeking to delve into the personal aspects of the healer's life perhaps.

“Yes, I intend to visit them tomorrow, and I plan to stay for a duration of two days."

Melkor expressed his emotions with a bewildered "why!?" before composing himself swiftly and resuming his sketching, this time on the table instead of his paper. Elrond was convinced that he saw a solitary tear welling up in the eyes of the dark lord´s eye.

-

"Tell me Melda, how is he?

"Melkor?" Elrond asked as he found himself in the lone presence of his wife

"He isn´t as I had accepted I much admit. Upon informing him of my coming departure, I would swear, if I didn´t know the danger of it, a tinge of hurt flashed across his face," he told Celebrían with a brief laugh and a quick stern look when mentioning the swearing, "he exhibits a remarkable combination of creativity and compassion! For bugs that is. Just bugs and any form of reptiles."

With a tinge of amusement in his voice, he chuckled softly, remarking, “he believes he appears quite formidable and intimidating, almost akin to a small dog. And lo! His heart desires a formidable dragon companion.”

“A dragon!”

“Yes. And if he couldn’t get one, as he wanted a snake he said!”

Celebrían laughed as she tried to picture the being her husband had just described and responded with a laugh, "I suppose it becomes quite challenging to harbor any hatred towards such a character."

-

"Love?" shouted Celebrian after Elrond as he mounted his horse to ride away towards Taniquetil.

"Stop for a moment! Look, behold the formidable dragon!" she exclaimed with a breathless laugh as she presented him with a soft and cuddly blue dragon plush. 

Elrond's face lit up with a gentle smile at the remark, expressing his joy, "he will surely be delighted!" he exclaimed warmly, bending down to tenderly place a kiss on her forehead before taking the formidable dragon and continuing his journey towards that of the Eldar King and the dark Lord.

-

"Melkor?" Elrond asked looking around the cozy Vala´s room as he set the plush toy gently on the table before calling out again, "Melkor, where ever are you hiding?" 

After a period had gone, he eventually discovered the small Vala perched by the window gazing at the sky while softly vocalizing a melodious tune.

Curiously, he questioned, "Melkor?" escaped his lips, prompting a piercing gaze from the dark lord, "what are you doing?"

"Speaking," he uttered curtly before resuming his humming once more.

Elrond retraced his steps to retrieve the dragon plush toy and with a calm demeanor, declared, "I have an unexpected surprise for you," enunciating each word clearly, to make sure to hold Melkor's attention as he glanced in Elrond's direction.

Slowly, with deliberate movements, he presented the plush dragon to Melkor, whose face immediately lit up with a beaming smile as he accepted it with great enthusiasm, consisting of mostly jumps, “IT´S A DRAGON!!!”

“It´s a gift from my wife she spent the whole time I was away on it,” Elrond explained, “what will you call it?”

“Haldamir!” then quieter, “thank you to your wife then,” he said and hugged Haldamir as he took off running away for only where Eru knew.

Haldamir means Hidden Jewel and I just think it´s such a Melkor codded name - and a bit Mairon too…

Sauron Mairon Halbrand y Alicent

I always make the joke that Sauron is Aule's daddy's boy and keep it canon. So I have an idea:

AU Where Sauron in human form ends up in Westeros and sees Yvanna. She is Yvanna, she is the wife of dad / Aule. She is mom. And mom is crying. And yes, I'm adding to the theory that Melkor's giant spider is from Lovecrath's universe, so crossovers are possible!

Sauron can't help. Here he is nobody and he has not recovered his powers. He is sickened by the mess, by the Targaryen traditions of marrying each other. Sauron notices that Mama is biting her nails. Mom should be happy and have trees. And mom should pay attention to it and be happy with those creepy trees with faces.

Alicent does not understand who gives her personalized jewelry with the theme of Mother and Maiden. She knows Sauron. "Hello my lady"

Sauron disguises himself as a cat to attend Alicent and Viserys' meetings. He is against Otto's plan, mom is fifteen years old. Fifteen fucking human years.

This can go two ways:

Sauron kills all the dragons because Alicent made a comment that while Syrax is beautiful she would never ride a dragon. Mom is afraid, now I have to protect her, be the man of the house because mom can't be married to another man who isn't dad.

Daemon boasts that he took Alicent's virginity and is killed by Sauron. Mom is from dad.

Sauron manages to find the equivalent of Aule in this world and cheats on the parents.

Alicent is very sure she is ready to have children after stopping Sauron from conquering Middle-earth.

Sauron takes the form of a child. More shenanigans to come, now he has everything he wants, for now.

Alicent and any poor man who is Aule in this universe, congratulations. Their son is a narcissistic sociopath who loves them with all his heart.

In another line, Alicent marries Viserys, but Mairon has not regained his power, so he cannot prevent his mother from being raped.

Sauron discovers that his siblings are nuisances, but they will give Mom more power. Mom is a goddess, a Valar, but also a 15-year-old girl.

So Sauron takes over Aegon, comforts Mum, tells Aegon he's a little shit worse than Curumo and Aegon's first word is shit.

Helena is born. And here she is different. Sauron hated Curumo for stealing Daddy's attention, but he respected Melian. He now has another sister, who is also a woman in a world of shit. But Heleana has magical potential, so he will teach her well. He will teach her to lie, to deceive, to put on makeup.

All of this happens while Sauron takes the form of a little boy so he can stay with the queen alone. Alicent hugs him and hugs from mom feel good. On one hand, Alicent recognizes that Mairon/Sauron has a connection. She loves him, she is his mother in all the universes. But her son is evil and she knows it. But he hasn't proven to be more evil than the other men.

Aemond is born and Sauron throws a tantrum. He doesn't want another brother and hates him as much as he hates Aegon for hogging Mom's attention. Then Daeron is born and Sauron screams because there is so much evil in the world! Criston Cole is horrible, but he makes mom happy. As long as he isn't platonic, Sauron will keep it. Suddenly, Sauron can shapeshift into a dragon. Since he hates Rhaenyra's bastards he plans to play a little prank at Laena's funeral. Nothing to go wrong. He just needs Aemond's help. Aemond claims a dragon and that dragon leads everyone to see Rhaenyra doing it with his uncle.

And shit breaks loose. Aemond is happy to have a dragon, the Velarions are angry, and Laenor calls for a duel against Daemon for his sister's honor.

Laenor wins and kills Daemon. Rhaenyra will go on trial for being an adulteress and Harwin will be her champion. Then Criston Cole kicks Harwin's ass. Heleana uses her magic to make Rhaenyra admit the truth about her bastards. Alicent rebukes Sauron because now there is a political mess and because his brother thought he had a dragon. "It was just a joke, mom, I didn't know it would go this far," she says with puppy dog eyes.

When the dark Lord morgoth was defeated, one of his lieutenants was thrust into the world of westeros and given a chance to redeem herself. She's a cunning sorceress, and now she has been reborn as the sister of daemon and viserys. With the help of the friends and family she picks up along the way, you can watch her stop the dragons from dancing with the power of friendship, love, and incredible violence.

Characters: Melkor/Mairon

Synopsis: A tiny dragon attempts to hoard Mairon.

Warnings: /

Drabble

"Ow! My hair!" 

Melkor looks up and chuckles when he sees a tiny dragon hatchling with a lock of Mairon's beautiful copper and golden hair in its jaw, pulling on it furiously as it attempts to stop the Maia from leaving their shared bedroom. 

"You need to teach them some manners!" Mairon complains, shooting the Vala a vicious glare while trying to free his hair, yet Melkor keeps grinning. 

"You know they love gold, precious. Besides..." 

He walks over and gently coaxes the dragonling into letting go. 

"I suppose they must have heard me say you are my greatest treasure."

[dragonfatherofficial]

one thing that gives me so much joy as Melkor is seeing folks who love dragons as much as i do!

i love seeing beautiful art of a curly, serpentine dragon with colorful plumage or one with enormous pairs of bat-like wings and elaborate horns.

i love the cultural impact they’ve had on people in this world. because in my world they were seen as hideous beasts to be killed as soon as possible. i love benevolent dragons, wise dragons, dragons who bring good fortune and luck.

on top of this, i /adore/ when dragonkin make posts about then feeling euphoric and content. even if just for a moment, they were able to be themselves again, the majestic being they really are on the inside. there are powerful dragons confined to human bodies but when they can be themselves and experience happiness from that? absolutely AMAZING!

[melkors-big-tits]

dragon riding?

........like.. Riding riding or riding? Cuz the first one is a fuck Yes!! <3 <3 My baby Ancalagon does the Best barrel rolls >:3 (Don't tell Mairon) But the second one is a FUCK NO. But if you're asking if they can give you a ride then better ask Them and not me ----Although there's a 99,99% chance of them biting your head off but; nothing ventured nothing gained.

Inktober Day 14: Cat Don’t tell me Melkor isn’t the equivalent of a cat dad with all his dragons. — Melkor and Glaurung (c) Tolkien Art by rallyaly *Please reblog, do not use or repost.

[theoldsongsandtales]

“A riddle,” Mairon says as he pets the wolf in his lap.

“Another?”

“Yes.”

Melkor grins and settles into the fur draped couch.

“Let’s hear it.”

The dragons raise their heads as Mairon speaks; a song more so than words and with the voice of a blazing fire and distant drums.

“It’s too easy,” Melkor laughs. “The mountain far to the east.”

If Mairon is disappointed he makes no mention.

“You then.”

Melkor thinks for a moment and then answers; a melody of cracks of ice and colors that no mortal language can name.

On and on they go. In the old tongue, in the new. In taunting, brief images placed in each others minds and flickers of figures in flames that spring from Mairon’s hands.

Riddles.

As only ainur can tell.

And the dragons watch.

Listen.

And learn.
