    Summary

    “So, this Melkor. How do you feel when he looks at you?”

    Like I’ve swallowed lava and it’s burning me from the inside out. Like I’m poised on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the drop below, butterflies in my stomach and thunder in my heart. Like I’ve sunk down to the ocean floor, down where there is nothing but darkness and the ghostly white light of ancient things, unseen by any until now, until me.

    *

    In which love doesn’t come without work, walls built and broken, trust that must be tended as diligently as any growing thing.

    Melkor and Mairon, in the present day.

    Summary

    Then Fingon the valiant, son of Fingolfin, resolved to heal the feud that divided the Noldor, before their Enemy should be ready for war; for the earth trembled in the Northlands with the thunder of the forges of Morgoth underground. Long before, in the bliss of Valinor, before Melkor was unchained, or lies came between them, Fingon had been close in friendship with Maedhros; and though he knew not yet that Maedhros had not forgotten him at the burning of the ships, the thought of their ancient friendship stung his heart. Therefore he dared a deed which is justly renowned among the feats of the princes of the Noldor: alone, and without the counsel of any, he set forth in search of Maedhros; and aided by the very darkness that Morgoth had made he came unseen into the fastness of his foes.
