“You didn’t need to take your shirt off.”

His lips twitched. “Is it bothering you?”

“No.”

 “You can take your shirt off too if you’d like. To make it even.” He suggested stretching an arm back and Elain’s eyes followed the movement, the muscle straining.

“N-no, thank you.”

1 and 17 for the book asks?

1. How many books did you read this year?

so far 40, but a couple were rereads (and I'm still in the middle of 2 others so. not done yet!)

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

Paradise Lost tbh! also Underland by Robert MacFarlane, I expected it to be good but it even outdid that

(for these asks)

[welcomingdisaster]

How about Celebrian and Nerdanel for the blorbo ask?

NERDANEL:

ooo okay so i'm about to have some spicy opinions but... Most fandom takes are incorrect. The fandom tends to be very very Feanorian-centric and very Feanorian-positive and I think her portrayal tends to be really affected as a result. I think a lot of takes have her as a perfect (or at the very least, very very good) mother, who stands by her children until the last, supports them even after they leave her, etc etc. Not to mention how weirdly often I've seen her getting back together with Feanor post-reembodiment. One of the things I find really interesting about her is specifically the fact that she choses to leave Feanor & does not go to middle earth. That she lives in the house of Indis, who her husband despises. That she, basically, turns away from him in every way she might. And I think a lot of the "Feanorians as a big happy family" takes kind of ignore that. (Let! Nerdanel! Be! Super! Divorced!)

BRAINROT!! My last two fics on ao3 will speak to this. Obsessed with her rn.

Celebrian:

I am, actually, normal about her.

She's neat. :) Her and Elrond are cute and sad. I don't realllyyy have strong feelings about her but I like her when she shows up.

Thank you for the ask!! <3

(spread love asks)

Answered 3, 8 and 13 here!

14. A ship or character that you started liking because of someone else (give them/their works a shout out!)

That has to be Finarfin/Eönwë, which I had never thought twice about before @that-angry-noldo started writing for them. I adore them now and it’s all because of her!!! 💕

WIP Whatever Day

Thank you @queerofthedagger for tagging me! Here's a (very rough) snippet of an untitled one-shot that came out of nowhere and has been rattling around in my head the past few days:

“Invitation?” This is the first Maedhros has heard of it.

“You were…away,” says Maglor, guilt coloring his words. Away, Maedhros knows, means that he had gone deep inside his mind, deaf and blind to the world around him. “Right after Thangorodrim fell. I did not want to disturb you.”

“Show it to me,” Maedhros demands. 

Maglor does. A small letter, their uncle’s neat handwriting across it. Eönwë wishes to speak with you, it says. To offer peace and a way forward. Come to our camp, nephew. Please. 

“Peace,” snarls Maedhros, “does not mean a Silmaril.” He’s heard such a foul promise before. 

“It could,” Maglor insists. 

“You were going to go by yourself?”

“Yes. Just - just in case.”

In case it was a trap. In case the whole camp of grieving, angry elves turned their swords on the remaining Sons of Fëanor. In case Eönwë’s judgment was cruel instead of benevolent. 

“No. Absolutely not.”

“Nelyo - ”

Maedhros can see it. The iron around his brother’s wrists, the gag shoved into his mouth. He can see his brother forced to kneel, stripped and beaten in the bottom of a ship - so similar to the mines beneath the mountain, dark and stinking with very little air to breathe - then thrown at the Valar’s feet. No mercy, not for kinslayers like them. 

They do not deserve it. Maedhros knows that. But - but - 

But just because such harsh judgment is deserved does not mean he will allow Maglor to be put through it. 

“No,” Maedhros says again, and he grabs Maglor’s hand. Hard. “You will not go and parlay with them.”

You will not go and face danger in my place, he thinks.

You will not be punished for our sins, no matter how great the evil it is we have done.

You will not leave me.

Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Installment I Update)

Title: Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Installment I - Chapters I, II, III) Rating: M Summary:

“Perhaps you can speak them to me, if you so wish. I apologize if that is too forward, but I yearn to know you beyond simple pleasantries. 

Yours truly,

Lucien

P.S. My lady, your secrets are always safe with me.” 

Epistolary (adj., of a literary work) in the form of letters. After the winter solstice in ACOSF, Elain and Lucien exchange letters as a means to get to know each other away from prying eyes. This fic is a collection of those letters.

Author’s Note: HERE WE GO! This fic was written between me (crazy-ache) and @zenkindoflove. We each selected a character (you’ll have to guess who though) and then wrote back and forth, pen-pal style. The first installment is now posted! We hope you enjoy our passion project.
