Maglor can be a gentleman when he wants to be…

another Maglor/Luthien doodle

a very powerful Song (sauron is terrified)

inspired by @fistfuloflightning's magluth!

#silm #silmarillion #maglor #luthien #maglor/luthien #<- possibly #magluth #random headcanon maglor's beleriand era Song is sauron-proofed in a way finrod's wasn't #bc sauron was able to corrupt finrod's alqualonde song into the kinslayings #whereas maglor's songs are mostly laments about how many terrible things he/the noldor did and how much they lost #theres uh. not much for sauron to corrupt that he hasn't done so himself already via the power of musical depression #so 'this is sad maglor play noldolante' might actually be reasonably effective #sesame art

I don't know if it's currently inspiring to you but I'd love to see more Lúthien/Maglor. (Ooor ot3 with Daeron 👀... but I know that won't appeal to everyone. RIP Beren).

Do they ever have a kid in your AU? That would be cute.

…you’re probably going to hate me for this, but in my aus they never live long enough to have a child—the retrieval of the silmarils is too important for them to abandon Beleriand and run off to start a family, and all my aus have them sacrificing their fëar to binding Morgoth.

BUT

if they had a child, I don’t think it would be easy having a Feanorian kinslayer as your father and the Doriath traitor as your mother.

Take her by the safest road.

#and beren/daeron are probably sucking face somewhere in tol galen probably lol #art prompt #the silmarillion #maglor/luthien #magluth #maglor #luthien #tolkien art #my art #I say Doriath traitor bc Luthien purposefully left doriath against thingol’s orders to join the feanorians in an effort to save maglor #and you bet that kid would’ve grown up riding horses—maglor’s gap wasn’t known for its cavalry for nothing #this took a lot longer than I expected bc my brain said COLOR. NOW. lmao #thank youuuuu for the prompt!!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

Have some MagLuth just because I can 😊

#while I attempt to work on a draft of the fic ppl have been asking about 😝#the silmarillion #maglor/luthien #magluth #maglor #luthien #tolkien art #my art #merry christmas yall

I am soooo sorry

“That’s why they’re after you? Because you threatened someone?”

Maglor’s lips curled briefly at her words. “Of course it’s that, and not the simple fact that I’m a contract killer.”

The dingy kitchen was still. It wasn’t like she hadn’t known—they’d first met when she’d seen him try to kill a man in a back alley. But it was something else for him to say it so bluntly. “Who did you kill?” Luthien asked haltingly.

The look in his pale eyes was distant, like he wasn’t even seeing her. And that frightened her more than the expression he’d worn at the hospital, because that meant he wasn’t even…present. “Does it matter? They were still people.”

A horrible thought came to her and her fingers grew white-knuckled around her now cold mug. “…And the boys?” Eru, she prayed Elros and Elrond were separate from their father’s work. But her meager hope was shattered at Maglor’s next words.

“They know. They’ve seen worse.”

She stared at him. “…What?” she breathed.

#the silmarillion #maglor/luthien #magluth #maglor #luthien #a snippet from a magluth wip I’ve been throwing around for a long time #luthien’s a sorority girl who witnesses a botched asassination at a bar that turns into the killer being kidnapped by a third party #she follows far enough to trace him back to a feanorian black market #subsequent jailbreak and forced bonding and discovering he adopted twins despite his profession putting them in danger #idk #im still toying with bits of it #maemae shows up with maeglin as maedhros’ assistant/enforcer/incredibly non platonic situationship

So. Someone a bit ago commented on one of my fics (or here, not sure) about my penchant for odd Tolkien rarepairs. I myself forget just how many I have, so here’s the rundown and why I like them:

Maedhros/Maeglin (just. the angst. of being buried under your mistakes and finding a kindred soul to share that same burden and heal together. soulmates. who might’ve even met during the nirnaeth. and they’re definitely switches your honor)

Celegorm/Aredhel or Celegorm/Dior (or Dior’s reckless/headstrong stubbornness reminds him of Aredhel and there’s a lot of angry/bittersweet proxyfucking and guilt and ‘I don’t know who I truly love anymore’)

Maglor/Luthien (beauty for beauty’s sake. and honestly anyone but beren. luthien getting involved with the war to protect her murderbard boyfriend and actually putting a dent in morgoth’s forces. mags trying his hardest to protect her as much as the silmaril she won back for him)

Curufin/Finrod (sending your husband to his death (that he knew abt but didn’t tell you) and screwing up your sons and living the rest of your shortened life regretting soooo. many. things. and then having to deal with them after mandos. a bitter beautiful chaotic mess that can only end in tears)

Fingon/Varda (don’t ask: even I’m not sure—something something gil galad’s associated w/ stars and no one knows who his mom is and I like me some valar with greek god leanings)

Aegnor/Haleth (battle bros to lovers, bc haleth won’t take no for an answer like andreth did 😒)

Argon/Amarie (falling in love with your cousin’s ex was not the intention after being the first one killed/sent back. but she’s finally moving on from finrod and you’ve grown to care for her company more than you thought…)

Daeron/Beren (beren didn’t deserve luthien—this started as a joke but these two seriously deserve each other in all their squabbling glory)

Mablung/Nienor (they just. deserve happiness and peace. and lots of adorable peredhel kids. please)

Eowyn/Merry (same as above, but they have the benefit of having an entire shire to rebuild and different cultures to find wonder in and grow to love as much as their own)

idk I might be missing some but these are my thoughts on my main Tolkien rarepairs

When the Pass of Aglon is breached and Maglor’s forces pushed back, he expects it all to end with the River Aros at his back. For them to die with the Girdle of Melian between them and safety.

He does not expect the forests of Doriath to swallow him and his men.

He does not expect to be protected.
