B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: Feanatics: Maedhros went back to look for Elured and Elurin - O68
Format: Drabble
Genre: Darkfic
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Choose not to warn
Characters: Maedhros
Summary: Can looking for lost children ever be an evil deed?

Maedhros was incensed at what his brother's soldiers had done with the young princes. It seemed sometimes that he was the only one who learned from previous battles! The boys may not have the gem, but they could still be useful. Did not Gwindor's foolish charge after Gelmir's death prove that? The princess Elwing had not been seen, and if she lived would trade the Silmaril for her brothers - or Doriath would be perturbed by their deaths long enough to be overwhelmed in the next battle. Either way, they still needed Dior's sons alive. He went to search the woods.

I mean, I think you can do the right thing for the wrong reason, certainly. What an interesting interpretation!

Now this is an approach I have not seen before and I really like it! (I dunno, is 'like' the right word under the circumstances?) And it makes all kinds of sense.

nice! I have love of not-nice/creepy Maedhros.
