    Summary

    "Maedhros, forgive me for saying it plainly: if you bound yourself to him just to bind him to this battle, then it was not well done. It was not—" the frown failed, and Maglor just looked embarrassed now, for sincerity did not suit him, "—not kind."

    "I did no such thing," Maedhros said.

    "But you did marry him."

    "Not for this battle," Maedhros said. He smiled to himself. This memory had never been a good one before. "We have been wed these four hundred years."

    Summary

    "When will you marry?" said Curufin, abrupt.

    "I shall not," said Maedhros. He said it peaceably enough. Twice already he had endured this conversation: at Maglor's wedding, and at Caranthir's.

    “I wove an enchantment to lead you here,” he confesses against her, lips moving lazily along the lines of her ribs. “On the day you first rode near these woods.”

    Summary

    One of the many walking ways that could have led a lonely netchiman's child to become the powerful Tribune Vivec, and his deeply complicated relationship with Serjo Indoril Nerevar Mora. This one focuses way less on CHIM and is less lore-centric than its sequel. Basically it has only a little convoluted bullshit and lots of feelies.

    edit: I wrote this when I was in high school and therefore I find it hella cringe and considered deleting it. I decided to leave it up, though, as people still seem to be responding positively to it and the other Vivec fic I wrote. I likely won't be responding to any comments, requests, etc, though.

    Summary

    Nerdanel drops the bowl she’s holding. It breaks on contact with the floor in a sudden, complete shattering into shards.

    There is a boy sitting in her kitchen, with his knees drawn up to his chest and his arms wrapped around them. He turns his head at the sound. The line of his cheek is achingly familiar. “Mother?”

    -

    The first son of Nerdanel returns from Mandos.
