The Mirror Crack’d, Chapter One

Hi y’all, I am trying to keep up a posting schedule of every two weeks on Friday, and here we go, we’re really getting started this week with a full-length chapter one (and a slightly updated cover)!

In-progress fic cover, including a shattered glass representation of a mirror with a figure looking through it who appears human through the glass but not behind it, where he has distinct characteristics of a fire elemental. Also shows a red-haired Elf facing the left and an incomplete picture of an Elf facing right.  The tagline says "If you lost everything that made you who you are, what would remain, Sauron?"

LAST TIME ON The Mirror Crack’d: Someone was pursued by a dark creature.

And now, the THRILLING CONCLUSION: Fingon rescues our fleeing thrall and brings him to the safety of Himring.

The Mirror Crack’d, Prologue

Hi y’all I am here with a fic I have been working on for a VERY long time and am really excited about. Originally I was going to wait till I finished the cover for it to start posting, but then I said, wait a minute, self, you can update people with the in-progress cover while you are also posting the in-progress fic! So here we are with the first WIP version of the cover, and the prologue of the fic!

Summary: Rescued from a brutal Angband hunt, an ex-thrall with a strange and powerful artifact embedded in his spine is brought to Himring, for it is one of the only places in Beleriand which welcomes such folk. Though he has no memories of his life before, Anniavas slowly becomes accustomed to his new life and finds he has a queer connection with Maedhros, Himring’s lord. As their intimacy grows, however, so do the dangers surrounding them, both without and within. What secrets are hidden inside the depths of Anniavas’s lost memories–and how will those with whom he is forging and deepening bonds react, when those secrets are at last revealed?

If you like Maedhros/Sauron, polyamory, tea-drinking, PTSD, a bundle of non-binary and female OCs including a very cute puppy, and questions of identity, redemption, and personhood in the context of how a person’s shape and environment can impact their behavior, then this is the fic for you!

Not Rated: While there are a few explicit scenes, the fic is primarily somewhere in the T/M space. I will be segregating explicit scenes and warning for them in the A/N.
