Concubine Mairon???

One does not simply go from being a prisoner to being an advisor without being a concubine at some point. There. I said it!

(Constantly thinking about Sauron in Numenor...)

A Red String to Choke You With

So uhm. I wrote this VERY spontaneously today! It's mostly just me dying over how pretty Mairon is and putting that into words. And Mairon suffering. Everyone suffers, basically.

The prince consort is beautiful. There's no way around admitting it, Lady Miriel thinks. His eyes shine a terrifying amber, an amber seemingly burning out from the inside. A wildfire smothered by honey. His expression is sharp. Hungry in a way she's never seen before. So very unlike Pharazon's. There is a sort of superficial kindness in them and yet that kindness doesn't warm her. It's pinning her down like a flailing beetle, feels more like her light is being sucked away, trapped behind that gilded, glassy gaze.

She forces herself to return his smile.

"Lady Miriel," he says and he says it like velvet feels on a hot day, stifling and soft and she can only think: I pity you. And: Thank you for taking the place I would have had to take. And: Oh, you have no inkling of what monster you've wed and my heart aches for you.

This is how the fall of Numenor went down. It says so on page 69 of the Silmarillion.

akallanope (ar pharazon x sauron) is such a good ship. everything is wrong about it. do they like each other? nope. are they enjoying it? also nope. is the sex good? nope. ok but the hate must be loud and passionate? nope, they are both pretending to like it. at least they are loyal and devoted? nope. they are working towards a worthy goal? also nope, they are the worst.

its the schadenfreude of ships. you can unapologetically enjoy two people being awful to each other and they probably deserve it.

pov: you're a certain númenorean king, and you just pissed off your high priest, or: an illustration for a (bleak, explicit) fic in which mairon the wronged widow has finally had enough
