How one hangover (pretty bad one 😂) christmas morning I got full idea about what might have been in Our souls were made from the stars.
So, I was again thinking Our souls potential plots. And I came with one comprehensive enough which I really liked. I know the author once mentioned a plan to follow canonical events, more or less, so that is how I imagined that too. 95% of what I came with is anyway full exact Tolkien set up.
Still fingers crossed silverwing12 comes back!
I hope I will not offend any authors with posting this my idea how someone elses work could go…. If I did, sorry for that, but I think same as we speculate about 2nd season, we can speculate about fanfics :).
So here is the miracle 🤪. And absolutely at the end, I have even short idea description for another possible plot idea 😂😂😂☺️.
(i) They repair the greenhouse and get back together somehow (some Estel escalation happens) - a lot sex in Anenfel ideally 😂😂😉 afterwards. Mairon’s desires will win and he will just be a traitorous piece of shit through all this. Aaa, I love his unbeliavable ability for the denial 😉. But he will never lie to her about his feelings for her, that not! I definitely want them to share the l-word ❤️ finally!
(ii) I have no clue how Melkor gets intel how to get Ungoliant to Trees, I do not even know/imagine if it will be Mairon and how he would get this info. Yavanna is not stupid to tell him…So I simply assume this intel somehow happened. Trees are destroyed, Melkor goes crazy for stones and kills Finwe. Mairon is revealed as traitor and flees with Melkor to Endor. They cannot take sea (Ulmo is pissed), so they go through Helcaraxe.
(iii) Galadriel is hearthbroken but so pissed and angry she buries it inside. I think they might even have some interaction before Mairon escapes. Some yelling and so on. Mairon has shown himself to be quite a coward, so he will leave from this argument simply rather than defend himself. Well, he can hardly defend himself anyways…. He will change to the wolf form and stay like that for all Helcaraxe crossing. It also helps with his denial as like a wolf, he feels a bit differently. Melkor will definitely be amused by that.
(iv) Now a couple centuries all goes as in the canon. Feanor gets super mad and is quickly killed in Endor. No one is sorry about that. Melkor and spol cross Helcaraxe and Ungoliant gets hungry for stones, they fight her. Mairon directs major battles, but no direct participation - Balrogs and orcs as a first line casualties rather than commanders. Curumo is back in Valinor, this time he is under cover… no one trusts him anyways. Melkor goes even more crazy. Mairon is pissed but trapped in the situation of his own mess and denial. Mairon and Melkor corrupt some human tribes. In the meanwhile, elves crossing Helcaraxe including Galadriel come to Endor. She will be in Doriath. Meets Teleporno bla bla who cares about the guy 😂. All major battles and events happen as in the canon: Galadriel’s two brothers die in fires of Thangorodrim when Mairon breaches the siege of Angband. Mairon takes control of Tor in Gaurgoth. Beren meets Luthien. Thingol will be another crazy elf. Quest for Silmaril happens. Mairon’s wolves by mistake really kill Finrod. (I see this as a speed highway to Valinor for Finrod 😂😂😂.) Mairon will be soooo pissed and desperate that he just lets Luthien and Huan to defeat him. Bcs of course otherwise if he would not be in depression, he would be able to deal with them. Melkor will be so pissed. Mairon hides in the wolf form till end of the 1st age, also renewing his powers doing so. Than again all goes as in the canon. First age will end. Mairon will not go to Valinor when summoned. I ask myself why I like him so much when he is such a coward really 😂😂😂. Galadriel stays too - not married to Teleporno or anyone else! Luthien never tells her details about how Mairon was defeated. Galadriel vowes to revenge her brother.
(iv) Galadriel hunts for Mairon. He hides not having to fight her. Because as the author already said, he would not be able to hurt her anyways. But he assumes, correctly, that she would not be so reserved. So cute those two really. I love them. 😂 She jumps from the ship and whojoooo. She of course immediatelly sees Mairon as he still has his super sexy form.
-I have no clue why he is on the raft, sorry for this plothhole. I also do not like TROP idea that Adar would kill him, so I cease this. They just went separate ways, already end 1st age. Mairon had enough of orc shit and orcs were anyway getting out of control as later generations were just savage animals.-
But a worm attacks, so before they start to fight, they need to escape the worm. Than they have really long argument. He finally tells her all his shitty reasons why he joined Melkor, how Melkor went super mad shit, how all went differently than he planned and bla bla bla bla bla bla. A lot of self-pity and denial in it. She tells him he is a moron. He tells her all her brothers were just collateral damage in war. A storm happens. They get to Numenor, they play human Halbrand thingie. She persuades him that to solve his shit in Endor, he should solve Southlands and the orc infestation boiling there. So from the plan to kill Mairon, Galadriel goes to plan to use Mairon. Of course a lot angst and pinning for each other is happening all the time. Galadriel is super conflicted. They go to Mordor, volcano errupts. Here small difference, Mairon is not injured, they just agree to go to elves for help. In Eregion, Galadriel finds Mairon is plotting some dominance magic with Celebrimbor, she banishes him after he tells her he sees no difference between to rule or to save. Rings are made.
(v) Both are super unhappy for rest of second and third ages. Mairon goes super word dominance mode, and I tend to imagine it is because putting so much will of himself into the ring, he also goes partially mad. Some part of enchantment probably going bad or something. And also he will make a ring feeling rejected by her, so all bad vibes going in. All again goes as in the canon, Galadriel suffers Mairon’s destruction in Numenor as they have a bond of course! But she also feels he is still there. But so she feels the ring and how it corrupts all. Celebrian is born as a daughter of Celebrimbor and some elf - well, Aragorn needs Arwen, what to do…. I just do not have any valid idea how in this mess Galadriel and Mairon could have a kid…, so Celebrian is related only to Galadriel. Galadriel will rise her mostly, as they are very close. She will rise her because her father will be killed by Mairon’s army (tortute to get the ring intel…) and mother will leave in grief for Valinor. The kid will not want to leave yet. Celeborn will be like a father to Celebrian too.
(vi) The cold war between lovers until the end of Third age. Galadriel hates the influence of the ring. Mairon feels Galadriel’s last rejection of the ring and is really really really in the deep self-pity mode. Ring is destroyed. Olorin was wrong, though, as there is one more thing - My big plot idea 🤪🤪🤪- which still can anchor Mairon spirit in some reasonable form, not just as an impotent shadow. What is it??? Necklace which Galadriel never took off! She never leaves for Valinor at the end of the 3rd age. She never fades either. She finally accepts she loves him even through it all. She just waits several ages for Mairon to regenerate enough his strength. And after this happens, they live happily ever after in our word. (Maybe they also have that kid the author was hinting, whatever, would make sense - a lot sex of course 😂😂😂😉.). No word dominance as Galadriel would leave him for Valinor and also as the ring was destroyed and Mairon is whole again, he is not partially crazy anymore. He actually does not talk about all the ring business rather at all, especially the part where two small hobbits take it through his dominion to his volcano, is still a very sensitive topic 🌋 🌋🌋.
Some small follow ups for other characters
-Yavanna knows all and is very happy for them, they even talk sometimes.
-Arien is not driving sun anymore, Valar solved that after the 4th age. She lives with Tilion in Anenfel.
-Aule is still angry at Mairon, but proud of his life with Galadriel.
-Celeborn and Esten are married. I just had to do this one, sorry for that 😂😂☺️.
-Curumo is drifting as an impotent spirit, but Olorin drops by sometimes.
-Finrod and spol are of course out of Mandos. Free Finwe :).
Aaaa, I think I like this as some kind of closure. Just ignore massive illogical thing - why Galadriel would want him after he did all the canon shit up to the ring destruction 😂😂😂.
I am still a bit conflicted because I think it is also valid to assume the whole Our souls story could end at the end of 1st age and Galadriel and Mairon cleaning the mess after 1st age together as a couple before returning to Valinor and living in Anenfel together. This would not follow Tolkien from end 1st age and that would be totally full story as well! Galadriel could be used by Melkor to manipulate Mairon and he will go full Sauron mode to save her. Melkor could send some of those nice Moriondors to abduct her and than threat Mairon to behave well and do his bidding. Or he could abduct her as a punishment for lost Silmaril. Yeah, that could work too. But I would definitely not have any actual torture done to her. That I think would not go well with the mode of the author of Our souls at all. Mairon would break into Angband when Melkor would be somehoe distracted and make a hell there and get her out. Afterwards, he would join last battles and final destruction of Angband and Melkor. But not on Valar side, he would be on his side :). I think he would be done with both Melkor and Valar at this point 😂😂😂.
