b2memB2MeM Prompt, Card and Number:”Feanatics!” - O68:Maedhros went to look for Elured and Elurin
Format: Double drabble
Genre: Angst
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Canon genocide
Characters:Maedhros
Pairings:None
Summary: Maedhros contemplates various shades of evil.
Maybe he’d just gotten used to killing. He’d done terrible things in the name of his Oath, but he’d never taken another elf's life without thinking out of sheer anger like that before. For what they'd done to those poor boys, Ariest and Thindang had deserved death far more than the hundreds he'd just slaughtered in this fruitless attack; was it right to regret their deaths more?
It had been his brother’s duty as their lord to set a good example, not to lead them into evil. All of his brothers and himself were ultimately doomed on that account, of course, but he thought that even in their damned state there would be some paths open to them less evil than others.
Celegorm now had so frightful a reputation across Beleriand, yet it sickened him to even think it was for the best that he had died. But when he'd heard report of what his servants had done with Dior's sons, it had seemed right that they be slain as well.
There was no point in trying to clean the blood from the skirt of his cloak before he dragged it over his shoulders and stalked out into the snow.
