Lo! I commissioned the amazing @balrogballs to paint Fingolfin, Lalwen and Anaire from my longfic Virtus et Scientia. This is them from the engagement ball in the last chapter. Thank you Ziz for being such a delight to work with and a marvelously talented artist! Truly this is my birthday in May. Everyone look at Lalwen and Anaire!! Are they not the prettiest specialest princesses in the world? Pinching their rosy cheeks. Kissing Lalwen's septum piercing and Anaire's nose. And Golf is so handsome and charming. Petting his bangs. Kissing his [redacted]. Ziz really got all their personalities PERFECT. Will be hanging this on the wall in my office!!!

Gold Cages Things. General Standard Gold Cages Here There Be Dragons Warning.
@eowyn7023 @plotdesigner @themalhambird @kenobiwaned @seagull-energy @nocompromise-noregrets
Gold Cages Lost Flame & Flowers: Part XI
Warnings: rape/non con, slavery, sex slavery, sacrifices, violence, torture, abuse, victim blaming and in universe racism including antisemitism, eugenics.
Ships: mairon/celeborn/galadriel, isildur x oc, elendil/miriel/gil-galad, celebrian/elrond, sauron/galadriel/elrond/celeborn/celebrimbor/finrod (noncon/one sided), adar/cirdan, arondir/brownyn and background finrod/luthien/beren.
Summary: In this universe Mairon, Maia of Aule is not seduced by Morgoth but Morgoth is still very much in love with him. So in love that he is taken by him but there is still a Sauron, once named Curumo by the elves. Thousands of years later in Rhûn a silver haired elf and his infant daughter find Mairon and in their slavery, a new family is found amongst horror and loss
Elsewhere, Curumo finds a new form in the wreckage of the War of Wrath and finds himself in love with more than one. He will stop at nothing to keep them safe. No matter what.
Note: this is particularly for @kenobiwaned whose amazing work and being such a cool friend who lives in my phone is really the reason that this exists at all. But also to @themalhambird @plotdesigner @seagull-energy and @nocompromise-noregrets for being amazing friends and collaborators.

SQUEE!
There was so much that I loved about this installment. I literally re-read it like four times today.
@kenobiwaned oh my gosh I am so so touched you liked it so much my heart.
With Shutha and Freyja (I think they are between four-six here) I really wanted to get that little kid sense of They Are So So Old (like TWELVE) And Big there *g* Also yep (I think Curumo!Sauron regards the Uruk as somewhere between ‘nameless scum’ and ‘okay FINE useful tool’ and he’s really not good at hiding his revulsion and nor does he want to have any contact with most of them (which THAT IS A BABY. AN ADORABLE BABY (re Shutha)) and that’s something that Shutha has to know which is so enraging/sad that she has to know it so young.
And Freyja doesn’t because Freyja has been sheltered and also I will be honest Freyja in any other universe dies because she is chronically unable to Shut Up Judiciously when she sees an unjust and her culture hates hates outspoken little girls (in any other universe she and Bjorn and Sven and Gunhild and Astrid and her family die)
(But it was so lovely to write these two little besties (I picture them sitting together in a niche somewhere eating pastries and swinging their legs) and also who they will grow into eventually).
Re Celeborn/Galadriel/Mairon: THEY REALLY WOULD NOT HAVE (I kind of picture Celebrian being like ‘I do not want to know about it but dads you need to do something about how you are both in love with each other because I CANNOT TAKE IT’ at some point if Galadriel had not been there). Like just the most mutual pining to ever mutual pine and neither of them actually realises it.
Also Morgoth absolutely at least encouraged Curumo!Sauron in his…delusions in that regard (Morgoth is and isn’t subtle but he is actually very very good at this one and very smart about it - not promising but implying he promises) - if not outright giving him enough crumbs to hope. (It’s also very ‘I rely on you like no other Curumo’ about it all and Curumo just kind of…inferring from there).
I spent so much time going back and forth on Celebrimbors past sex/relationship experience pre Annatar and YES on the loneliness - I think he’d told himself that he could devote himself to crafting (and to be clear he had a daughter (Mirdania) and friends and a lot of joys but also he was lonely lonely for a long time because he’d lost his family and he does not regret his choice but also he does) and then he thought he’d found this connection and UGH POOR CELEBRIMBOR.
(Of all of them I think he might struggle the most with being able to be with someone ever again if at all. Like I tried to think about but he fell in love for the very first time and uh, That Happened which is awful. So I don’t know if he comes back).
Okay now I’m thinking about Curumo and the reaction to Celeborn/Mairon/Galadriel and how it’s ‘that whore STOLE them from me’ levels of rage anyway I will be writing something about this in more detail but the way I think he reacts to that is…somewhere between ‘I have to remind them who they belong to - my poor loves’ and ‘he stole SOMETHING ELSE’
But yes he absolutely cannot conceive of Adar being a person who would choose something or someone and also that someone would even…it’s not that he doesn’t think Adar is desirable (he clearly does - he wanted to create his ideal who would never leave him and always love him) but he can’t conceive of someone *asking him to marry* if that makes any sense? Because you don’t ask a possession UGH.
Honestly that whole conversation was *awful* (all of them were but the Celeborn and Galadriel one in particular because in some ways they had to make it about Curumo to make sure Celebrian was safe and UGH UGH UGH).
(Part of the story Galadriel and Celeborn aren’t telling = lots. Like how the first time Celeborn saw her she was just like :i have walked across The Fucking Ice for years, I am doing some Uncanny Shit and have a SWORD and possibly I am covered in blood: and he was like WIFE and Galadriel won’t say that she really fell for Celeborn that time he told Daeron to for the love Eru shut up).
(I had some feelings about Curumo!Saurons view of Elrond and how it’s somewhat different for me than Mairon!Sauron - for Mairon!Sauron it’s kindness to Halbrand that kind of rewrites the AAAAGH AAAGH IT’S HER of it all (I think also on the surface Elrond does not really seem like he would pull a Luthien) and it’s part of him putting the threat to rest that he can hold Elrond and love him, that Elrond is kind and seems to being not treated well* But for Curumo!Sauron it’s that…like the way that some men will see a woman (specifically in this case a biracial woman with all that implies) and go ‘oh look my beautiful emotional support angel just for me’ because they were generally kind)
(Which I think they all struggle with a lot of guilt re that and some external blame re ‘encouraging the attention’ but ultimately as you have Adar say in A Company Of Wolves (which I totally read again) it was not wrong to be kind. It was wrong what he did).
