b2memB2MeM Prompt, Card and Number:”Feanatics!” - I25: Knight in shining armor
Format: Double drabble
Genre: Character study
Rating: General
Warnings: No warnings apply
Characters: Maglor
Pairings: Maglor/his wife
Summary: What's the point in besieging Angband if you don't look good?
It wasn't until years later, when the chaos had died down, they'd settled into their new lands, and the siege had well and truly begun, that Maglor paused to consider the aesthetic quality of his armor.
He'd only meant to check it over for defects in preparation for a scouting expedition the next morning, but the more he looked at it, the more details he saw that could be improved upon. It wasn't that his father hadn't had any artistic vision when he crafted it, only that they hadn't always agreed on what statement such a thing ought to make. Before he knew it, he'd stayed up far later than he should drafting silhouettes and color schemes, then asking his wife for her opinion and promptly getting into a debate with her over the merits and drawbacks of capes.
He didn't much bother wondering whether any particular part of his design would be possible. Once he had a few days free, he'd ride out to Himlad and show his sketches to Curufin; anything merely difficult he'd take as a challenge, and he’d have no reservations telling his older brother if there were anything impractical about it from a defensive standpoint.
