#no mairon never tortured russo in this verse

[urwendii]

<- author who has realised once again she can do whatever she wants with her own plot: I'm bringing Maedhros in the chaos of ATFB just because.

"Nelyafinwë."

"Mairon."

Elrond looked between the two men with a confused expression that did not last long, and while Amarëa had dropped from her father's hold and latched onto Elrond's own (former foster) father's leg and was beaming at the tall Elda, he suddenly recalled the reason as why exactly would the Maia and the newly Returned Fëanorion be acquainted in the first place.

Mairon had a small smirk, Maedhros' face was unreadable, his left hand ruffling the shock of red hair of the tiny child happily babbling hundreds of words a minute in a painful mix of Valarin and Pre-exile Quenya.

"I was told you were the one bringing Amarëa here." The Maia finally bowed his head im a wordless thanks and a sudden fierce expression took over Maedhros, a relic of the fearsome smile he would wore when chasing Orcs down Ard-Galen.

"I have a habit of picking up stray kids ."

Elrond felt a strange mix of emotions swelling within him but most of them by now were nostalgia and the uncanny sensation of feeling so very young. He smiled ruefully, admitting to himself that Amarëa's specific case aside, he was indeed centuries younger than everyone else present.

#story: all the fire bright #more vague disjointed snippets #this plot is so nonsensical so why not indulging even more #no mairon never tortured russo in this verse #if my own timeline is correct Mairon was not in Melkor's good graces yet by the time of Maedhros capture #annddff i love my tiny maia ♡ #technically yes shes older than elrond but there are ReAsOnS as why shes still a smol kid #spoilerish but then again this plot has changed so many times it might be ok to peek lol
