Summary

"Could I forget the Sun, laurë?" Maedhros asked. "Would I want to? Or would I rather not meet my brother among the cousins who don't like us very much?"

"Sister, now." Maglor's grin was both conspiracy and invitation, and for the first time Maedhros noted her hair was done in a woman's braid. "The years have been long for both of us. Would you deny me my change?"

***

After two Ages, Maedhros meets Maglor on the streets of Valinor. Some things have changed. Some, terribly, had not.

Summary
