[Good not!dad, Elrond's very proud.]

[ He smiles at him, too ]
YAY ACTION
Date: 2017-09-28 03:43 am (UTC)His smile is warm and he steps in close to embrace Maglor.]
So even you can learn to remember and take a bit better care of yourself from time to time.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-28 03:54 am (UTC)He doesn't shy away from the affection, this time, embracing Elrond back ]
You said you worry. [ Maglor says shyly ]
I made you worry enough.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-28 04:01 am (UTC)I always worry about those I love. You just happen to encourage it through your actions than most.

"I survived three Ages of the world and all the Enemy could throw at me. But if they touch my brothers I will kill them."

Date: 2017-10-29 12:08 pm (UTC)We have no idea how the Null operate. They may be very capable of killing you, along with everyone else here.
Considering he just issued a death threat Ignis, you should be concerned XD

That would be a no.
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-13 08:15 am (UTC)"Yes. Sustenance, mainly." he sighs over the answer and kisses Maglor's cheek, "Will you try something for me?"

Date: 2018-01-13 09:45 am (UTC)But he wishes he could.
"I see you." he sets the bowl on a table and walks to stand at Maglor's side, grabbing onto his hand.
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-13 11:24 am (UTC)"He won't wake."
He says softly, brokenly.
"What if he never does?"
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-13 11:48 am (UTC)"Not yet." he agrees, squeezing Maglor's hand, "You cannot think that way, Uncle. His body hasn't disappeared; he is still tethered to us, which means he has to return."
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-13 12:00 pm (UTC)(but not yet, not yet)
"Grandmother Miriel did not." He says softly.
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-13 12:08 pm (UTC)"This isn't the same situation. His life is bright and strong. Something has caused him to sleep. We just need to be patient." and pray. Celebrimbor doesn't mind visiting the temples if it helps.
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-13 12:33 pm (UTC)(He stood like this once before, until Maedhros got fed up and ordered him in)
"He's already left me once before." He says softly.
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-14 07:49 am (UTC)"It isn't." he repeats, firm, "That was a different situation. Uncle Nelyo was hurting in the same way you were...are." he amends, "He did not choose to slumber. The magic will not last."
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-14 09:22 am (UTC)"I don't know if I have enough hope for believing that."
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-14 09:49 am (UTC)"Then you can rely on my hope."
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-14 09:55 am (UTC)"I am never strong enough to save him."
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-14 09:57 am (UTC)"Maybe you are not meant to and maybe that is simply part of his journey. I know it hurts."
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-14 10:32 am (UTC)"Just once, I wanted to be able to believe he wouldn't leave me."
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-14 10:36 am (UTC)"You shouldn't look at it like that. Your paths are no longer merged, but you should look forward to when they meet again. You have seen that is possible."

He weeps himself to sleep.
(Action)
Date: 2018-01-15 10:41 am (UTC)Once he feels his uncle slumbering, he lifts him and carries him to his room, tucking him into his bed.

Date: 2018-01-15 12:44 pm (UTC)"We have failed you. All of us seem overeager to see what is beyond death." he sighs, "Maybe there is a bit of Grandmother Miriel in our blood. That is not your fault."

"I will try and cling to that. It is just... so hard."
video (backdated to 1/7)
Date: 2018-01-16 01:00 am (UTC)I'm worried about him, but at the moment I'm worried about you, too. This must be hard for you.
video
Date: 2018-01-16 02:42 am (UTC)"Curvo... " He murmurs. "I... don't know, anymore."
video --> action
Date: 2018-01-16 07:35 am (UTC)Listen, I'm coming back. But you just keep talking to me while I'm on my way, all right?
[ He's at the unfinished building that will be the new Guard Headquarters. They're using it already; they've moved the file cabinets and the furniture in. Curufin grabs his coat and picks up his weapons, slings them over his shoulders, and leaves. He keeps the phone in his hand, so Mags will catch glimpses of his face and of the houses around him as he walks. ]
How is he doing? The last time I saw him was ten hours ago.
video --> action
Date: 2018-01-16 08:02 am (UTC)"Alright? I...he's sleeping still. No change. I cannot..hear him."
video --> action
Date: 2018-01-16 08:15 am (UTC)Macalaurë?
[ He comes to stand by Maglor's side, laying a hand on his shoulder. ]
You can't hear him, you say. He must be sleeping very deeply. [ Curufin can't hear him either. But then, he and Maedhros don't have much of a history of mind-to-mind contact. Even if Maedhros were conscious, Curufin would have to try very hard to hear him or be heard by him. ]
action
Date: 2018-01-16 09:16 am (UTC)"Here, Curvo."
He nods, reaching a hand up to cover his brother's.
"At least...he looks peaceful."
It isn't proper osanwe that the too eldest have between them, but they were so long all each other had.
action
Date: 2018-01-18 08:05 am (UTC)"He does look peaceful. Perhaps he's dreaming of something positive. I hope so." Maedhros' face is relaxed, his lips barely parted, his eyelids closed softly over those dreaming eyes. His hair is scattered over the pillows, making fiery rivers amongst the white sheets.
Maglor's special talent is for hearing the music that every living being and every unliving thing makes, wittingly or unwittingly, as an expression of its unique nature. Osanwe it is not, but it can be used as an avenue of communication. Curufin knows this because of his own relationship with Maglor.
"You can't hear his Song at all? Or is it just very muted?"
action
Date: 2018-01-19 06:22 am (UTC)"I... no it's there. Very faint but..."
action
Date: 2018-01-20 01:19 pm (UTC)"That is very good. If you can hear him at all, then he must still be occupying his body. What is his music like, right now? Can you read anything from it, or feel anything?"
action
Date: 2018-01-20 02:14 pm (UTC)Maglor murmurs, voice the barest ripple of sound as he wanders.
"So faint...so far away..."
action
Date: 2018-01-21 05:42 am (UTC)Because Maglor probably has terrible memories from when Maedhros leaped into that volcanic vent, leaving his terrified brother behind. Maglor, in his anguish, might have tried to reach out to find him, and. . . no, it doesn't even bear thinking about.
Curufin leans over and kisses the top of Maglor's head, and then squeezes his shoulder again.
action
Date: 2018-01-21 12:23 pm (UTC)"I'm just... so afraid he won't wake up."

[Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 01:11 am (UTC)I warned you about Hadriel. Although I think this was him being afraid, and not the city itself. Fear will do... strange things to a person.
[ Oh my brother, my brother, if I had bound you, would you have stayed? whispers memory, but Maglor says nothing ]
Do you want to stay with us for a while?
Re: [Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 01:16 am (UTC)I know people want me to, though I suspect they meant more for his well-being than mine.
[Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 03:11 am (UTC)Mm, for bot of your sakes, I think. But I will, I suppose, see if there might be another way to teach him. If violence is what he knows... perhaps some self-discipline might help.
Re: [Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 03:14 am (UTC)It isn't his fault. He doesn't mean to. I'm not sure how well he'd respond to more violence, but if you think you have an idea, by all means try. I've run out of them.
[Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 03:51 am (UTC)[ A soft, hollow laugh ] He's been wary of me ever since he visited the house. I suppose I might as well see if I can leverage that. Get him some sword training, while we're at it.
Re: [Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 03:57 am (UTC)[Sigh]
Perhaps I haven't done my own job, either. He shouldn't be an ass and I should be able to keep him from being one.

Date: 2018-03-05 06:07 am (UTC)I hope it will help. I'll see what I can do to pull myself together as well.
[Voice]

I can teach you too, if you want. Or I can ask Fingon or Maedhros or Curufin?
Re: [Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 06:55 am (UTC)I...I would appreciate that. Thank you.
Re: [Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 09:00 am (UTC)I would not offer if I did not mean it! I will bring Seel down early. Come by later - although I won't go easy on you!
Re: [Voice]
Date: 2018-03-05 03:33 pm (UTC)I'd appreciate that. If nothing else, it will give me something to focus on. I know better than to expect easy, at least.

Date: 2018-04-11 05:11 am (UTC)[ Maglor is waiting for him at the door, and he beckons him inside when he arrives ]
Come in, come in. Tell me what's wrong.
Nooooooo you beat me D:
Date: 2018-04-11 05:22 am (UTC)Seel. He...told me something that happened. Before I came here. Something I should have been here for only it's too late now. We tried to talk but...it didn't go well. He's falling apart and I can't fix it. I don't know what to do. I need help but I don't know what to ask. I'm not enough. Nothing I can do on my own is enough. You're the only one who I thought might...might be able to do something. Or might know something.
mwhahahaha
Date: 2018-04-11 05:25 am (UTC)[ Maglor pulls Swift into his arms and hushes him, hands carding soothingly through his hair ]
Oh little bird, I'm so sorry. Tell me, Swift. What happened. Slowly now - no rush. What did you tell him, and what did he say?
nooooooooo
Date: 2018-04-11 05:36 am (UTC)I tried to apologize for...for being awful after I was sick. I told him I'm not afraid of him. It started fine until... until he told me died once. And the only person who was there to help was the one he hates more than anyhar else. Except maybe--[Ponclast. But he can't bring himself to say the name.]
He showed me. What it was like. And I should have been there. I could have fixed it, then, but now... I don't know if I can even find all the pieces let alone put them back together.
I tried--Ag knows I did but I'm out of my depth.
yessssssssss
Date: 2018-04-11 06:27 am (UTC)Ah little hawk. Don't try to shoulder all the burdens of the world.
[ Hypocrite whispers his brother's ghost ]
You aren't meant to be Seel's healer, little hawk, nor his parent. Sometimes, you can't fix it. Sometimes, all you can do is be there. [ he says softly with low grief beneath his words ] Sometimes, that's all you can do, and sometimes it's enough. 'Should haves' will ruin you, Swift. You can't change the past - all you can change is what you do here, and now.
Seel's an adult. Or, well, he's supposed to be. [ He adds wryly, before the dry grin fades ] He needs to learn to not rely on you too much, also. Be there for him, Swift, But don't feel you have to fix him.
Some things, [ There's such a wealth of bleak knowing in his voice ] some things are unfixable - by you or him, or anyone saving the Valar, maybe, and even then I think not. But it helps, I found, for both the wounded, to sit together and simply be.
noooooooooooooooooooo
Date: 2018-04-11 06:38 am (UTC)yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Date: 2018-04-11 06:55 am (UTC)But never anyone there for Makalaure whispers the past, and Maglor ruthlessly squashes the voice ]
Then be there for him, Swift, as you could not be before. Hold him when he cries, shout back when he rages. And he will, Swift, oh, he will. Some days, he won't recognise you at all. Talk to him. Learn what he can bear to speak of, tiptoe gently around the wounds that are too fresh. Don't cosset him. Don't excuse him. Don't let him excuse himself - they all try and sink into self-pity, and that you cannot allow. Lance the wound, if you have to! The healing will be very long, little hawk, and maybe never complete. But sometimes, that's all anyone can do.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Date: 2018-04-11 07:21 am (UTC)Defeated, he crumples, sobbing into Maglor's clothing and clinging to it until his hands hurt. And still he knew Seel was never going to see that. He's supposed to be the support, the solid Rock Seel grounded himself on. Always staid steady Swift. They can't both be in pieces.
Eventually yes can breathe again; though unevenly, it's enough to speak again, far more quietly than before.]
I understand. But it doesn't feel like enough. Maybe he was right after all.
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Date: 2018-04-11 07:50 am (UTC)It will never feel like it is enough. [ Maglor says softly, bleakly
Oh Nelyo, Nelyo, forgive me, it should have been me! It should have been me ]
And it will be so much harder for you than it was for me. Oh Swift! Seel is still too young not to hurt you badly with his grief. But hush you - don't blame yourself. You are too young to be shouldering this burden, but there it is - we cannot chose what the times bring to us, only what we do with them. I will be here, as best I can, but ai, so much of what I have done has gone ill I hesitate to give more than comfort. But you can come to me, to my brothers, to my cousin, to my nephew - to any of us Swift, if you are hurting and in need. We have all of us lived through tragedy and been both the injured and the forgiven. We will never turn you away.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Date: 2018-04-11 02:25 pm (UTC)yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Date: 2018-04-12 12:46 am (UTC)[ Maglor keeps up the soothing motions in his hair ]
You came to seek comfort of your own - and believe you me, it will be necessary. And sometimes, when you feel alone, all you really need is for a friend to sit beside you and hold you.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Date: 2018-04-12 12:56 am (UTC)yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Date: 2018-04-12 01:48 am (UTC)There never is, Swift. Not truly. You cannot protect them from everything. All you can do is be there to hold them in the after.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Date: 2018-04-12 01:52 am (UTC)It's not fair. It's my fault.
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Date: 2018-04-12 05:08 am (UTC)[ Firmly ]
But it is not your fault. Do not seek to take onto yourself the sins of others. It was not you who hurt this Azriel. Those who did so could have chosen any method, but they chose that one - because it would hurt you. That is not your fault Swift. It is theirs.
noooooooooooooooooooo
Date: 2018-04-12 05:23 am (UTC)If I lose Seel to the waiting too I may not survive it.
no subject
Date: 2018-04-12 07:18 am (UTC)[ Maglor is gentle, but inexorable ]
You cannot change that fact now. While there's life, there's hope, so said Master Samwise, who had uncommonly large dose of hobbit sense.
[ He sighs ]
So, our little hawk is a parent, hm? [ Far, far too young, he grieves ] That does make it harder. But it does not change what has already happened. Ah Swift. If I could take the pain from you I would.
[ He sighs, and hopes Maedhros will forgive him ]
When...Fingon rescued Maedhros from the Mountain... it was a long time before he could believe that he was safe, and we were real, and no new device of torture. Some days he would scream invectives, and confuse us for his torturers. Others, he would sink into himself and refuse to come out for fear. There was nothing any of us could do except be there, as best we could. And eventually, he came back to us. I don't know if your Azriel will, Swift. But Maedhros confessed that he always heard us, even when he had turned away from us. He wasn't always sure that we were real, but he always heard us. That is the only comfort I can offer, for your little one.
But Seel is here now. And he needs you too, little hawk. He doesn't need you to be strong, he needs you to be there. He needs you to tell him it's alright to weep, he needs you to tell him that it hurts you too, but you aren't blaming him for the pain. And you need him. You need to tell him that, too.

Alright. I can...I can try. I just...I don't know if it will even matter.

You will always feel you should have done more, or done things differently. But you cannot change that. It's already done. The only thing you can change is the now. You have to keep reminding yourself of that, Swift, on the bad days. And the bad days will come. But good ones will, too, eventually.
I was the one who gave the order to leave Maedhros there, Swift. For thirty years my brother was tortured, because I could risk no lives for his rescue. Thirty years of the Sun we camped on our Enemy's very doorstep, and we did nothing to retrieve him. Even now, I grieve that pain. It will always hurt. But Maedhros forgave me. In time, I think Seel will too - he loves you too much not to.
[ He brushes a soothing hand through Swift's hair and cups his cheek to look into his eyes and say it firmly ]
It will. It does.

Date: 2018-04-19 07:54 am (UTC)Kano? Could you and the others go to Margaery's Sewing Shop and ward the place? So that if Caedra still has malice towards our friend, she never gets into Margaery's shop again? And Margaery might need her apartment protected, too, but I guess she needs to ask her roommate if that's okay first. I'd take care of it all myself, but I'm afraid I'm not going to be hammering out any iron bars for portcullises anytime soon. Nor do I have the energy to be investing iron with spells at the moment, nor devising clever deadfalls in unexpected places.
And I'll leave messages for the rest of the family. Thanks, Macalaurë!

Date: 2018-07-16 10:52 pm (UTC)My name is Yusuke Kitagawa, and I am an acquaintance of Queen Margaery. She related to me the horrific ordeals she endured at the hands of a demoness, one who is still at large and inflicting harm upon others.
Queen Margaery said you acted in order to avenge her... Could you tell me more of what happened?
Voice
Date: 2018-07-17 05:37 am (UTC)Well met, Yusuke Kitagawa. The Lady Margaery is a good friend of mine, tis true. I fear I was not there when the attack happened, if that is what you wish to know. But of the demon that names itself Caedra...
[ That deep voice lilts, the musical cadences of a storyteller, painting the picture clearly in the minds eye ]
But it used the blood and life for its sorceries - something like a necromancer, I think. It called up beasts from her own world, for no reason than because it could, I believe. The guard was roused, but Curufin and I got there faster. Ah! So see him fight again, after so long. My brother is poetry, dark and terrible, but they wounded him sore, for they had wings and he did not. The guard came to our aid then, but it sued for peace and they believed it. To my king then, I appealed, and the blood-right he did not refuse me, for blood of kin spilt and blood of one under our protection. My elder brother came with me, and we constrained it in it's den. It fought us, but it has never fought the like of Maedhros, fell he was that day, as he was on the battleplains so long ago, and it's magics I knew by then how to counter. It died for its folly, but death here is but an interruption and it returned. It knows to be careful, now.
Voice
Date: 2018-07-17 07:31 pm (UTC)You say it knows to be careful, but that did not stop it killing again in a great crowd of people, where none were able to prevent it. It may leave the queen in peace, but others around the city are not so fortunate.
Voice
Date: 2018-07-18 03:52 am (UTC)I knew it would try again. More careful, clearly, but not enough to stop - not that anyone believed us when we asked permission to kill it at first. Something needs must be done, but my hands are tied. We recieved censure for going after it at all, if I do so again, for one not my own I will bring only trouble.

And I knew it was time to go -- and past time! -- and that if I wanted to have any choice about my destination, I'd have to open a door of my own and evade the Hadriel Door. I evaded the Doomsman in our world, so I know I have the power. But Maglor, I do not want to leave you."
The sorrow in his voice is obvious.
"I know, I promised you that I would not leave you of my own will. And now I must break my promise."

"Are you so sure that we will never meet again? You wouldn't remember this, but we were together in the world before this one. We promised one another that we would meet again, and we did. Here. Why could it not happen again?"

Everyone I love always leaves me

Date: 2018-12-31 09:03 am (UTC)He knows that Maglor fears being deserted. In their world, he was the last of the seven brothers, and the last of the Finweans except for Elrond and Elros. He has reason to fear, his history gives him reason.
But Curufin will not let this stand. "What if I told you we need not be separated? That there is a way to stay together? Would you believe me? Would you trust me?"

Date: 2019-01-02 03:16 am (UTC)But he's missed his brothers for so very long, and Fingon, as dearly as Maglor loves him, is only a cousin.
He curls into his brother's hold and decides to be selfish, just this once.
"Alright."

Date: 2019-01-03 09:33 am (UTC)He will miss Fingon. It has been such a little time since they met again, here in this awful place. They have been able to reconcile, and Curufn will always be grateful to his cousin for his forgiveness, his company, his humor, and his recognition of Curufin as family.
He lays his cheek on the top of Maglor's head and smiles, his eyes tearing up. He feared that this would be the end of their days together, and that was a dreadful thing to consider. And now he does not have to fear it.
