Note to myself:

When get time write a young Hurin pov short OOC Hurin & Maeglin fic on

Huor was absolutely ensnared by the beauty and wonder of Gondolin. Also there’s safety and plenty of food and beautiful blonde elf princess who was so kind so unlike girls he saw in his past life

Hurin, being the older brother, was absolutely spooked and alarmed by the Otherness of the elf city. There was something wrong with this place and these people who lived so long and personally knew actual gods

Huor naturally won everyone’s heart because he was such a good natured friendly little golden retriever with one single brain cell.

Hurin carefully thinking about and planning his each word and action to make sure to offend no one and gain these strangers’ favor.

Hurin knew nobody was allowed to leave the city. He wondered what happened to those who did not want to stay, because there must be people who did not want to stay.

What if they got trapped here until their death?

He was under so much stress. Yet he acted innocent and happy.

Hurin tried extremely hard to make the king like him. But he did not know if it would be enough to make the king allow them to leave.

Maeglin told Hurin what happened to Eol (and possibly some other deserters) and was entertained by Hurin’s horrified face

He suggested Hurin the right words to say to Turgon so that Turgon would let the brothers leave

The right words being something like “I worry if I can never see my family ever again. I don’t even know if they are alive right now. Even if they are safe they must be worrying endlessly what happened to us. I know I am safe here but I want to be with my family.”

Hurin was surprised it worked. He did not know why but it was good it worked.

(Basically poked all the Aredhel-related trauma-guilt-grief buttons in Turgon)

Hurin actually grew to like Turgon and the people in the city and the city itself during his stay in Gondolin.

Huor liked the place immediately. For Hurin it was a long process but in the end he decided these people were actually kind and he could trust this ancient elven king. It was a journey for him to build actual trust and sense of safety and sort-of sense of belonging.

Which lead to his action to protect Gondolin because he loved the city and the people. He would do everything to make sure the beauty of the city was away from the hands of Evil

And he considered Turgon his friend

Of course, he was betrayed

Because his friend would also place protection of the city and the people above everything else.

He still wondered why.

Did the king considered his elve’s lives more important & valuable than Hurin’s people’s lives because elves were more fair & beautiful and lived longer and made better things and were just superior in every ways?

He knew that were Morgoth’s words. And he did not want to believe in those words even when Morgoth was really right no one would help him now he was marked cursed stained by evil

He heard Morgoth laughing and he was not sure if that was pure hallucination

Bonus of Maeglin pov

Maeglin disliked Huor (14-year-old stupid boy and having helpless crush on Idril and spoiled by the whole city and taller than him!)

The boy did not know this city fed on hopes

He actually liked Hurin a little bit because he was relatable (had common sense and actually was trying to leave to go back to family!)

Good time taking out his malice on scaring clueless mortal man

It’s okay because he would offer help to this one afterall

He did not want this man’s brother to stay any longer. He did not want to accidentally read this man’s angsty depressed stressed-our home-sick mind and this man’s mind was LOUD.

He did not want to see this man and his brother grow old years by years and eventually waste away within these walls it would look pathetic and sad

Of course he knew what to say to the king to sway the king’s heart of stone he knew what would HURT

He was still pissed off that the king actually let the brothers leave. Why this time why not earlier why not.

He hoped the brothers reach home and found their family fine and healthy waiting for them

He hoped they live as long as mortals were allowed. (Still merely a blink!) He hope they never met again

A small part of him did want to see Hurin again maybe even that idiot child

Next time he saw the brothers it was in Unnumbered Tears

(Imagine Huor being excited seeing Maeglin. His one brain cell of sunshine totally did not catch up Maeglin really disliked him.)

Things happened

Maeglin respected them

They should really stay away though

The city trapped people’s heart and drank from them like Spiders and made them die for these beautiful stone walls that had blood at their roots

Years later when Tuor showed up the man looked so much like Huor and Maeglin was like “oh no not again”

And the fucking idiot mortal child actually got the princess’ attention this time and Idril claimed that stupid golden retriever no.2 as husband

—————

Me: I just think it would be nice to have them interacting

Me: Both of them got blamed for the Fall of the city

Me: Well I AM UNFAIR I am upset Turgon 1. Outrightly rejected helping Hurin due to “fear of treason” (yes I think he played that part in the Doom) 2. Did not listen to Tuor and chose slow passive suicide if he listened Maeglin wouldn’t even be there to be snatched up like a fucking snack
