☆ Month of Fic Recs ☆
For each day of September (which is disability pride month in Aotearoa) I'm sharing a Tolkien fanfiction with disabled characters.

Day 19/30: the light that you keep burning there by @echo-bleu
Fandom: Silmarillion
Rating: T
Disabled character: Maglor (wheelchair user due to leg injuries)
Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, disability due to violence
Summary:
"Take this to your husband. It might tip the scale.”
Elwing stares at the Silmaril glowing in his hand. “You—”
“They are good for nothing if we’re all dead. The Valar wanted them once. Maybe if we’re willing to negotiate…”
Maedhros stops. The last tendril of the old Oath pulls at his vocal cords, powerless but nonetheless present, as if screaming for his betrayal.
“Take it to Eärendil,” he repeats. “Sail to Valinor. Do what we could not.”
*
The Havens of Sirion burn, and it is not the Sons of Fëanor’s doing.
Maedhros, Maglor and Fingon, in the years between the fall of the Havens and the arrival of the Host of the Valar.
