Elured and Elurin as patron Maiar of lost children in the wild
(Stupid ooc headcanon time)
What if Elured and Elurin became Maiar after death in the forest
The thoughts and wanders and grieves about the lost princes of Doriath were so intense, that they accidentally got turned into Maiar
When people, especially children, went missing in the wild
Sometimes there were two ghostly elf children or two grey mourning doves coming for them
They led them to safety, to home
If the people could not make it, they guided the spirits to rivers, where water Maiar would guide them across the sea
Sometimes they trapped people a little while to play with them
They died as children; their form never changed much. They never got to grow up so they did not know what they’d look like as adults
—————
What if they were the ones who led Maedhros & Maglor to Elrond & Elros
Right after the attack happened, Elwing sent many children of the city away in secret. If she learned anything from Idril it was to always have secret escape ways. She had been building them for years.
She built those escape ways for that eventual Morgoth invasion. It would be quite delusional to think they’d survive at this point. She wished her husband best luck, but she was going to be the pessimist one and prepare for the worst.
She just never expect when doom come for her it was Sons of Feanor.
She stayed behind and organized her people to fight, keeping the Noldor gem with her. It was too much a burden and she would not let her sons suffer it like she was forced to. And it was a good distraction; the Sons of Feanor would have their full attention on her instead of the children, and even they’ll take it from her dead body (like they took the ships over five hundred years ago) she was damned determined to give them a very difficult time.
When the battle was finally lost she jumped to her presumed death with manic smile, knowing they’d have to risk Osse to get their shiny rock, the greedy Noldor, so protective of their brothers yet were willing to abandon her brothers to the mercy of a frozen forest
But she did not know Sons of Feanor learned and they sent force to find the evacuated groups, in case the gem was being carried away like last time
There were only three of them left. If they failed they could not do this ever again. And they tasked their youngest to track down those fleeing groups; it would be nice to spare him from the mass murder they were about to commit
It was Amras, the remaining great hunter, that tracked down and found the twins. But he was killed in the fight with the guards, who were from Doriath and were very determined to protect the children. It was enough; these Noldor killed their former king and queen and their two princes and probably their current queen too and now they are going to finish their slaughter of the whole line of Thingol do the work for Morgoth
And the twins fled into the wild, chased by Amras’s followers, with every intention to revenge their leader’s death just like those who revenged Celegorm
Two doves guided the children to a cave, but they could not stay hidden forever, someone had to take them to safety
The Havens was totally defeated, and it was too far away anyway. Their power never extended beyond the wild.
It was horrible that they had to pick the least murderous enemy to save their kin
And they remembered the tall scary elf killing the evil elf who murdered them, and wandering in the forest for days calling their names
(They were never found because they had been dead and buried deep beneath the land)
If the tall scary elf came they would lead him to their nephews. They hoped he came.

(Maglor saw the twins of Dior occasionally in the latter ages.)
(He initially thought they were hallucinations. He sometimes saw his victims everywhere. The weird thing was these hallucinations were not yelling at him to jump into the sea. Took him a long while to realize they were actually real, and he reacted with absolute horror “you did not answer the Call?”)
(He tried to convince the twins to go to Valinor. The twins would prefer to stay on this side of the sea because there were always people lost in the wild. They had purpose here. And relatives)
(The twins tried to convince him to sail because he had a home and why wouldn’t he return? His mother was alive and his homeland was not beneath the sea. The conversation went as well as one could expect.)
(I think the twins had pretty good relationship with Daeron though)
(Melian and Elrond visited occasionally. Elrond had these nice cozy dark forests he grew himself. They also sometimes got to take a ride on their sister’s husband’s flying ship)
