B2MeM Challenge: The "Fin de Siècle" prompt on the "Maglor in History 2" BINGO card (an uncalled number, N34)

Format: Short Story (3150 words)

Genre: Historical Crossover Mystery, if you look at it sideways

Rating: Teens

Warnings: for allusions to substance abuse, mental illness and homophobia

Characters: Daeron; Maglor; Sarah Bernhardt; Oscar Wilde; Arthur Conan Doyle

Pairings: suspicions of Daeron/Maglor, but nothing actually happens so don't be disappointed

Creators' Notes (optional): WHAT DID I DO.

Summary: At a soiree in Paris in early 1890, two writers meet Daeron and Maglor.

Abject apologies to the great historical artists whose characters I have shamelessly fictionalised.

Lovely! And Maelor was one of Maglor's names in Home, so it fits to use it now. =)

I'm a Maglor/Daeron shipper!

I know - I will forever be wondering whether Tolkien ever encountered the Breton saint(s) of the same name...

I really rather like the idea too - which is why I said in the "pairing" list that you shouldn't be disappointed that there isn't really much Maglor/Daeron going on!
