maedhros and maglor

Trigger warning: blood

“This love it is a burning sun // Shining light on the things that we’ve done.”

I’ve been working on these pieces for a few days, and I tried to include as much slight symbolism as I could.

I’m rather pleased with the end result of these drawings, frankly.

After all this wandering, I finally feel like settling down...

#feanorianweek Day 1: Maedhros

I decided on the theme of “coping”. Here is Maedhros with Maglor near the end of his days. His best form of coping is being with his brother of course. Just two sad lonely bois doing their best to stay strong for each other.

day 08: stars 💫

“Look at the stars, Atar!”

Nelyo and Kanó gazed up in wonder, eyes reflecting the stars twinkling like pure cut diamonds in the night sky. “They’re so pretty!” Kanó whispered. Fëanaró gave him a warm smile. “Aren’t they, yonya?” He said, ruffling his sons’ hair. “And guess what? Elentári’s stars are eternal. They will always be there.”

“What about when it’s really dark?” Nelyo frowned. “ What then? Will they still be there?”

Fëanaró wrapped an arm around both of his sons and pulled them close. “They will, my little stars. They will be shining, even in the bleakest of nights.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Look at the stars, Atar!”

Elrond and Elros pointed up at the night sky excitedly, “Look, there’s a super bright one today!” Elros chirped. “Really, yonya?” Maglor looked up curiously. “It has been deathly dark; we have not seen the stars for ages…” Ever since Sirion. Dark, bloody, smokey Sirion. The sky had been veiled thickly in darkness and despair....just like Maglor’s soul. “What do—”

Maglor halted mid-sentence with his mouth hanging open, his eyes resting on a new star—shining piercingly bright through the hazy night, like a beacon. Like a jewel…

There was no mistaking it.

“MAEDHROS!”

[joetamy]

What if... they were spider-bros tho? Maglor - Maedhros - Celegorm

[dutifullythoughtfulrebel]

Maedhros frequently had nightmares of Angband,set in the time of his capitivity and it was more oft than not maglor nursed him out of it. He grew cruel after them, indeed Maglor wore as many proofs of his hate as his love.

And if Maglor had induced him to lie with him and be married in the eyes if eru if not of others by showing her scars as proof of her devotion, well it worked didn't it

It is at times a thin sort of love, but it is still love as Maglor tells Elrond and elros, their foster sons besides we are more than brothers, the same ambition and suffering binds us and I would rather marry he who is my lord and brave brother and than a Valar-worshipping brainless bint

the Valar demanded that I marry someone to ensure i wouldn't escape fair tirion he says bitingly they never specified who he adds with a trill of triumph though to be sure I suspect they would have preferred someone pious and obedient he adds with a laugh

[alexandra-scribbles]

Soldier, Poet, King but it is Celegorm, Maglor and Maedhros.

[astral-aromance]

@feanorianweek day 1: Maedhros's childhood.

Fingon was ever his best friend, and race buddy. Kano's too slow, Tyelko is too fast, Moryo refuses and Curvo is just a baby. Finno sure is fast too, but Nelyo can sometimes beat him because he has the longer legs!

I swear I didn't forget and didn't rush this out in an hour or so with 4000 different filters...

[thetiredprometheus]

Of Maglor and Celegorm

Celegorm and Maglor do NOT get along. They never have. While Makalaurë Kanafinwë is named for his loud voice, he prefers a quiet house. When Tyelkormo is born, he screams almost as much as Maglor did when he was a baby, and Makalaurë HATES it. Also this new baby is getting all the attention! No one has time to listen to his music anymore.

You'd think it would get better when Tyelkormo reaches toddler age and stops crying all day, but no. Now this little menace can walk and get into Makalaurë's things, which is bad because Makalaurë is very particular about every piece of paper having it's place, and Tyelko completely destroys any order, intentional or not. They both admire Maitimo and want to be his favourite. Of course Nelyo only smiles and says he loves all his brothers equally, but that only frustrates Makalaurë and Tyelkormo more.

Tyelkormo is now a teenager and they still don't get along. The birth of Carnistir has done little to change that, as little Moryo is a quiet child who prefers to be left alone. Makalaurë is Tyelkormo's favourite victim to annoy. He drags mud across the carpet of Makalaurë's room, "accidentally" pushes music sheets of the table, and hides frogs in his bed. Their screaming-matches are the bane of the entire family.

Things are a bit easier after Tyelkormo gets accepted into Oromë's hunt. He is in the woods more often than not and sometimes only comes home after months, and then only for a few days. They can keep the peace for that time, especially as Tyelkormo seems more interested in his newest younger brothers. Curufinwë has a sharp wit for his age and enjoys Tyelkormo's attention, and the Ambarussa are wild children who don't mind a bit of rough housing. Makalaurë locks himself in his room most of the time anyways.

After the kinslaying at Aqualondë Maglor is the most distressed of the seven. He cowers in a corner of the ship, shakes and quietly sings to himself. "Stop being so dramatic, Kano", Tyelkormo says. "It isn't that different from killing deer or rabbits. They also beg for mercy, and they bleed just the same." Maybe he wants to provoke Makalaurë to stop thinking about the pit in his stomach. Makalaurë doesn't talk much for the rest of the journey.

Their father is dead and Maedhros is captured. This means that Maglor is king now. Celegorm thinks a king must be strong, and he does not see strength when he looks at Maglor. He wants to take their soldiers and march on Angband. Maglor forbids it. To him it is because he can not risk losing another brother, to Celegorm it is weakness and cowardice. Celegorm pushes and prods and questions every single order Maglor gives. Maglor begins to truly resent him.

Maedhros is returned to them and while it makes somethings better, the tension between Maglor and Celegorm won't ease. When Fingon tells them how he found Maedhros through song Celegorm doesn't say anything, but the glare he gives Maglor is accusatory enough.

Beleriand makes them all cruel, but there's non of Maglor's brothers where it is as jarring as with Celegorm and Curufin. When they are driven from Nargothrond for their crimes, Maglor refuses to talk to them for a good few decades.

There are rumours that Dior the son of Luthien has the Silmaril now. When he does not answer their letter, Celegorm speaks of war. Maglor, hating the thought of more blood staining their hands, begs Maedhros to try diplomacy once more. But Dior will not give in, and they can feel the oath tightening around them, so Maedhros orders them to march on Doriath.

Celegorm thought he wouldn’t mind dying on the battlefield. And he shouldn't. By all accounts it is a good death; being slain by Luthien's fair son in a glorious fight, dealing him a lethal wound in return... but somehow, as he lies bleeding out, he finds that he doesn't really enjoy dying after all. He knows Curufin is somewhere close, but he is out of reach and has already taken his last breath and so has Dior, and the only sound Celegorm can hear is his own rattled breathing. It is cold, and quiet, and terribly lonely... that is until he hears the falling of feet running towards him. A person sinks to the ground next to him. He cannot see clearly anymore, but then the person start crying and saying his name, and he recognises the voice as Maglor's. Bloodstained hands pull his head into his lap. As Celegorm's sight grows dark and he begins to drift away he feels warm fingers brush through his tangled hair, and hears a shaking voice sing him a lullaby that he hasn't heard since his childhood, and he thinks... maybe he doesn't mind his brother's softness after all.

Maglor holds Celegorm close, kisses his head and refuses to leave his side, until his little brother's corpse has grown cold.

Of Fëanáro and his grandchildren

He found it both delightful and strange to watch the scene unfold in front of his person.

He had only recently been brought back to life, pushed out of the halls of Mandos by their master himself. That only turned out to be the easy part, he still had to face his now ex-wife, Nerdanel, as well as his seven children who he was sure would have a lot to say to him.

Although there were also, and may the Valar save him by clemency, Ñolofinwë and Arafinwë.

It turned out to be a long period that he had to face, and yet he was, for the most part, excused. Although he understood if any member of his family refused to speak to him or even to be in the same room with him. However, he was now very selfishly enjoying the moment that was happening.

Erenion was chatting with young Elurin.

The platinum-haired younger twin was learning the art of public speaking and it was the son of Findekano and Maitamo who had offered to teach him if the prince agreed. The king of the Noldor in Middle-earth seemed to have a lot of patience, perhaps inherited from Ñolofinwë's side of the family or also from Nelyo himself, this while Elurín was trying to leave his nervousness behind, he would soon debut as spokesman of the recently constituted house of Fëanáro.

On the other side of the room, Eluréd was polishing his bow made of oak, Lindir was tuning his harp and for a moment he was able to see Makalaurë with Tyelkormo when they had barely left childhood many ages ago. Turcafinwë's protégé hummed the melody happily while Kano's offspring improvised a few sweet notes that caused an enjoyment in tune.

Crossing the threshold of the door, the first of his grandchildren entered with a pile of scrolls in his arms, Tyelperinquar had a smile on his face that he had struggled to recover after having fallen by the hand of Morgoth's stag. He looked jovial and innocent, beaming as he regained his joy, I was really happy for him.

"I'm of the opinion that you should sleep first before starting on your interesting projects."

Erestor's familiar voice manifested itself in the hall. Tyelpe laughed nervously under the gaze of the counselor who had his attention on the documents brought by his older cousin. He was surprised by the closeness of the young men's driving, Erestor seemed to bring Tyelpe back when the latter was closed in his projects, while the blacksmith pushed the younger one to have fun outside with him.

"Are you all right, Haru?”

At his side, Elrond questioned. He readily attended, took his grandson's hand and smiled. He had helped too many members of his family three times condemned, Maitamo and Makalaurë loved him, he himself loved him. The peredhel smiled back, he just held his hand.

"I'm home, that's all."

Tyelko and Ambarussar Jump on Maitimo's Bed Every Morning

...and other Fëanorian sleep headcanons!

I love to imagine how chaotic the House of Fëanor's sleep habits must be. I mean, they're all highly intelligent and creative nerds with insane levels of energy, varying degrees of discipline, and next to no common sense. And... there's a lot of people in that house. So without further ado, this is how I headcanon each Fëanorian's sleep habits (or lack thereof).

Fëanor: Doesn't need sleep. Or that's the impression he gives off, anyway. He can spend a full day getting into drama with his brothers, and a full night Making Stuff in the forge (making stuff can also mean making babies). He takes catnaps throughout the day/night whenever it's convenient, and appears unbothered by it. Nerdanel is the only one who can convince him to go to bed (with her, naturally) at a decent time.

Nerdanel: A night owl. I think she enters her creative zone at night when her kids have all gone to bed. She might feel exhausted all day, but have a renewed burst of energy once she's experiencing some peace and quiet alone in the workshop. In the morning, she's grumpy, and as the kids get older they learn to let her sleep in and not bother her in the mornings. (Don't worry, they find a certain other redhead to bother in the mornings...)

Maitimo: Sleeping Well-Formed One needs his beauty rest. And nobody lets him get it!! If left to his own devices, he would experience his peak energy and productivity in the evening, stay up kind of late but not too late, and sleep laaaate into the morning. He's highly active both physically and mentally with his studies and his workouts, and helping Nerdanel haul stone from the quarry and such. Plus, he must have had the worst growth spurts as an adolescent. So I imagine he needs a lot of sleep to feel his best. But unfortunately for him, he stays up late studying and putting his brothers to bed. And then, in the morning, every single morning, no matter HOW old they get... Tyelko and the twins jump on his bed to wake him up at the first light of Laurelin. So, our poor boi is chronically sleep-deprived and always tired. His brothers call him Sleepyhead Nelyo.

Makalaurë: Nocturnal. Like the other family members mentioned so far, Kano enters his creative flow most easily at night. But I believe he is also too unhinged to have a reasonable bedtime, and so he consistently goes to bed at 6am or whatever the equivalent is in Valinor. I don't think he requires as much sleep as Maitimo, so he wakes up comfortably around noon. And if anyone tries to wake him up before noon, he takes his revenge by loudly singing at the top of his range late into the night.

Tyelkormo: The Hasty-Riser loves to get up insanely early, before the crack of dawn (if Valinor had dawn). One of the most energetic of the sons, he's always super excited to get up early for his hunts and workouts. And when he was a small Elfling, he was always bursting with excitement to see Timo every morning. (And as he got older he liked to annoy him by jumping on his bed.) He tends to crash in the early evening, and when he was little, it was a battle to try to get him to go to bed. (Imagine an exhausted toddler screaming about how they're Not Tired.) As he got older, he developed the discipline to go to bed early himself. And his retiring to bed was usually the beginning of the nightly peace and quiet in the house.

Carnistir: Bro has a SCHEDULE and HE WILL MAINTAIN IT. He perhaps has the most "normal" sleep needs, preferring a full and exact 8 hours, not too early but not too late. But the thing is, if you disturb him either too early or too late, you Will regret it because you Will get Grump Caranthir. He's considered Sleepyhead #2, right behind Maitimo.

Curufinwë: Atarinkë naturally follows his dad's schedule, sleeping at whatever odd hours are convenient to him. Often on a forge workbench, in his grubby work clothes, with a hammer in his hand. And like Fëanor, he's not too bothered by sleep deprivation. He also tends to mind his own business and not interfere with his brothers' sleep times.

Ambarussar: They tend to follow Tyelko's pattern, including the Waking Up Nelyo Ceremony aka jumping on his bed. And since they are hunters as well as Tyelko, I imagine they're interested in catching that early morning prey before Laurelin is shining outside too. Perhaps they require a little more sleep than Tyelko too, so they go to bed more willingly. And I love to imagine them as little cuddlebugs, especially loving to cuddle with Maitimo.

And most importantly, perhaps? THEY'RE ALL CUDDLY. To varying degrees, perhaps, with Curufin and Caranthir probably being less cuddly, and Maitimo and Tyelko and the twins being much more cuddly. But even Curufin and Caranthir won't object to some snuggles under the right circumstances... don't tell anyone, though.

What is something in Tolkien's works you are willing to take out of context, take interpretative liberties with, or even straight up ignore to support a headcanon or ship?

Heyy! Thanks for the ask! This is an interesting question, because I'm generally a veryyyy religious person regarding the accuracy of any book for that matter, but especially Tolkien.

If there is something I take liberties with/ignore, then I suppose it must be that Maedhros and Maglor genuinely kidnapped Elros and Elrond. I just cannot, for the life of me, remember that fact without thinking it's some sort of fever dream of mine. Like, they had such a loving household, so my brain immediately goes, oh yeah Nelyo and Kano saw that they had been FUCKING ABANDONED BY ELWING AND EÄRENDIL, so they took them in 🥹🥹🥹🥹

So.. yeah, it's that. Maedhros and Maglor adopted those lil bbs cause they were abandoned by their parents. I know it's wrong because it's throwing soooo much shade on Elwing and Eärendil for something they did not do, but yeah.

This was fun answering! What about you?
