LAST TIME on The Mirror Crack’d: Anniavas grapped with philosophies of hierarchy, and interpersonal relations, and was not able to swear his fealty to the Lord of Himring.
THIS TIME: Domestic matters become unimportant when Maedhros’s company is attacked by dark creatures. The kennel-master and Anniavas ride to his rescue.
For those of you who were interested in getting a peek into Maedhros’s head, this chapter features the first section from his point of view.
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)!
LAST TIME ONThe 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.
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.
