@daemags day | daeron x maglor | the musical, mournful wanderers

And it is told that in that time Daeron the minstrel of Thingol strayed from the land, and was seen no more. [...] He became the greatest of all the minstrels of the Elves east of the Sea, named even before Maglor son of Fëanor. But seeking for Lúthien in despair he wandered upon strange paths, and passing over the mountains he came into the East of Middle-earth, where for many ages he made lament beside dark waters for Lúthien, daughter of Thingol, most beautiful of all living things.

—The Silmarillion, “Of Beren and Lúthien”

And it is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him; and he cast it at last into the Sea, and thereafter he wandered ever upon the shores, singing in pain and regret beside the waves. For Maglor was mighty among the singers of old, named only after Daeron of Doriath; but he came never back among the people of the Elves.

—The Silmarillion, “Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath”

snippet sunday

thank you for tagging me, @silme-lorien @sallysavestheday @bad-writer @starspray @ffigwit @stormsbreadth! Tagging you all back to share a snippet when you like, plus @idleleaves @beatles4ever65 @feyandferal @melians-griddle @amorbidcorvid @leviosally @ecofutural @balrogballs @whirlception.

This is a little preview of my Daemags Day fic, featuring Daeron/Maglor/Reader.

“What was that? Who’s there?” asks Daeron, pulling back.  He is sweating, flushed.  He swivels, turning this way and that, his hips still anchored tight against Maglor’s. “That?” says Maglor in a low voice, a smile turning up the corners of his wide, pink mouth.  He draws a long finger across the tip of Daeron’s ear.  Then Maglor turns his gaze straight upward, penetrating the curtain of foliage you believed would keep you hidden, and his eyes find you. He pins you right where you sit in the crotch of the great tree.

The Cradlesong of the Universe

for @daemags

Relationship: Daeron/Maglor

Characters: Maglor, Daeron

Tags: Established Relationship, Fluff, Future Fic, Science Fiction, Space, Way Beyond the Fourth Age, Space Ships, Spacewalks, The Eagle Nebula, The Pillars of Creation, The Ainulindale, Music, Kissing, The two greatest minstrels of the elves go to space to try to get as close to the source of the Music of the Ainur as possible

Summary:

Maglor and Daeron share a romantic and musically very fulfilling moment floating in the heart of a nebula, the nursery of the Universe that carries the memory of the Ainulindalë perhaps even better than the Sea.

Snippet:

Maglor had turned a light sleeper ever since the Gap burned in the Bragollach, and even eight Ages later he never could shake the habit off. As soon as The Elairë dropped out of warp speed, the ever so slight shift in the engine's hum roused him to wakefulness, tangled in the sleeping-pod's sheets and in Daeron's arms.

They had reached their destination, Maglor thought. Then amended, or at least the destination he had set unbeknownst to Daeron.

Naked skin slid against naked skin as he turned to carefully extricate himself from the other minstrel's hold. He reached back just to plant a brief kiss to Daeron's brow, then quickly slipped out of bed. He dressed in his thermo-onesie right away; there was no reason to dress in normal clothes only to change again in twenty minutes for the spacewalk he was planning.

On his way to the star-cruiser's helm Maglor stopped by the food storage and retrieved two breakfast packs, and after pouring the powdered tea in cups and placing the rock-hard pancake slabs on plates he put them in the rehydrator, setting the alarm for five minutes. Rehydrated breakfast didn't taste near as good as actual food made of fresh Arda produced ingredients, but it sure was leagues better than the stale nutrient bar rations stashed away in the emergency grab bags.

"Elairë, full diagnostics report, please," Maglor told the ship's computer and flicking away the star chart on the navigator's screen he checked the updated information.

Engine was still functional, there was a sufficient amount of fuel to reach the nearest space station, thrusters were on standby and there were no errors in sight. Satisfied, Maglor took his seat at the helm and looked out at the view.

It was more than just the usual sea of stars wherever the eye could see. It was glimmering dust clouds made to dance by unseen gases, colours rippling through a full rainbow scale like the rolling waves of an ocean, and light! So much light! Pure light that gave the lost ancient Two Trees a run for their money and had Maglor questioning why the Valar ever coveted the Silmarils when Varda had this wonder shining within the dark of space.

The alarm of the rehydrator beeped and before Maglor could think of leaving the pilot seat to get it, Daeron, blinking blearily and in a sleeping robe draped over himself, was already removing the now fat and fluffy pancakes and the piping hot tea.

"Thanks, Dae," Maglor said, smiling as he accepted his breakfast being handed over.

"Mmh..." Daeron grunted, tossing a small packet of maple syrup at his partner that went with their pancakes, then sat beside Maglor in the navigator's chair and dug into his own food.

He ate in silence for a moment, still waking up in spirit, when he looked out the window.

"This isn't the Nyx Station," he said, frowning. Then, giving Maglor a sidelong glance, he added, "You better not have lost your mind now after all this time and went to chase down Eärendil."

Maglor feigned a gasp, bringing his cup of tea to his heart in mock offence.

Daemags Day Prompts

Do you have a Daeron/Maglor vision you want realised? Good news: prompts for this event are created by you, the participants! Head on over to AO3 to submit and claim prompts.

AO3 PROMPTS: SUBMIT AND CLAIM

You do not need to submit or fill a prompt to participate in the event! All works are welcome in the collection!

How do prompts work?

Very chill! Similar to a kinkmeme. Every AO3 user can submit up to 10 prompts. Click on "Prompt Form" in the left sidebar to add prompts. The collection is set up to be anonymous by default but if you'd like to have your username visible, you deselect this option when you post a prompt. Prompts filled and posted to the Collection will remain unrevealed "Mystery Works" up until the evening of April 11 PST.

How do claims work?

Click on "Prompts" in the left sidebar to view prompts. Prompts can be claimed by clicking "Claim" in the bottom right corner of the prompt box. Multiple claims per prompt are allowed! More cakes! Claims will show as anonymous up until the collection is revealed. After that, any unfilled prompts will show the usernames of the claimants.

What is the timeline?

Prompts can be submitted now, claimed whenever, and will remain open indefinitely. Any prompts you fill and post will remain unrevealed until the evening of April 11 PST.

This is too complicated!

If you'd rather, send a prompt to the blog as an Ask and I'll post it here with the tag #prompts 2026.

Daemags Day Guidelines

What is Daemags Day? 

A one-day mini-event to encourage the creation and enjoyment of the ship Daeron/Maglor.

How can I participate in Daemags Day? 

1.

Create and post fanworks on (or around, no one's checking) April 12, 2026 centring a romantic/sexual relationship between Daeron and Maglor. Writing, art, meta, headcanons, playlists, podfics, etc etc are all welcome. Find the AO3 Collection here. As the collection is also a "Prompt Meme" (see 3, below), you will need to add non-prompt works through the Post New / Edit Work page. Look for "Post to Collections / Challenges" and search for daemags_day.

2.

Spread the love with Daemags recs, comments, and shares on Tumblr, Discord, or wherever you find your fandom joy!

3.

Post and/or fill prompts in the collection. More about prompts.

Are you posting prompts on the blog?

No, but there's Daemags inspo queued on the blog leading up to the event, and you can check what others have prompted in the collection!

Are 'Daeron & Maglor' works eligible for this event?

This event is for exploring a romantic/sexual relationship between the characters, but works which explore where lines blur between romantic and platonic are welcome. As long as you would tag it Daeron/Maglor, it's eligible!

What about works that also feature other ships? 

Multishipping is very welcome! Your work should centre Daeron/Maglor but other characters can definitely be involved with one or both of them, and background relationships without either of them are also allowed.

Still have questions? Send an Ask!
