#dysfunctional kidnap dads dynamic but make it from an outside perspective

[havenotwillnotreadthebooks]

You know what would really kill you with either tears or laughter?

All those “Unhealthy Kidnap Dads” fics but with M&M surviving via Divine Peredhel Intervention. So now M&M, who are codependently attached to each other in despair and love in equal measure, have to live confined in an apartment or something within Lindon.

And of course, the elves have to keep an eye on The Kinslayers™️, right? And Gil-Galad is demanding at least a status report once a week about The Kinslayers™️

Anyway so M&M, as is their way, are still doing their unhealthy bullshit to each other and the Lindon Elves are slowly but surely starting to intervene whenever a despairing Maedhros snarls at a hopeful Maglor, or an angry Maglor throws a wine glass at a solemn Maedhros.

Eventually, the Lindon Elves are straight up like “We need an actual mental health professional before we put these two grown-ass elves in time-out”.

And Gil-Galad, of course, is being harassed daily by Elrond about the difference between Sickness and Evil, until he just grants Elrond’s request for a mind healer (or the closest thing they have to one at the time).

Anyway, the summarized concept of this is that M&M makes the Lindon Elves see them as people not because they wish to die, but because they so obviously live in despair.
