Warnings: ...see rating
Characters: Maedhros, Fingon, Morgoth, and friends...well, friends might be a strong word
Pairings: Maedhros/Fingon
Creator’s Notes (optional): We really did make this with the thought that, if some of these prompts have been vexing you, or other prompts that fit, it's easy enough to print and color or copy/paste to your favorite digital art platform and color. All images are suitable for hanging on your fridge as long as your grandmother is not coming to visit. (Dear taggers - I won't at all be mad if we all just pretend you tagged this one and conveniently 'forget' to. It's cool. I'll still love you all. I know I'm that person where you're probably thinking 'please, please don't post twice in a day...' or 'please figure out how to do the tags'. So it's cool if you don't. We can just pass each other in the hall on the way to Foreign Economics class, and give that silent, understanding nod.)
Summary:It's a coloring book. Let's go do the thing.

B2MeM Challenge: B2MEM 2011 March 1 Seduction

Voltaire said that it's not enough to conquer: one must learn to seduce. Write a story or poem or create artwork where seduction plays a central role.
B2MEM 2012 Four Words - consonance, smith, mantle, cradle
B2MEM 2013 March 1
Unity
"And it seemed at last that there were two musics progressing at one time before the seat of Ilúvatar, and they were utterly at variance. The one was deep and wide and beautiful, but slow and blended with an immeasurable sorrow, from which its beauty chiefly came. The other had now achieved a unity of its own; but it was loud, and vain, and endlessly repeated; and it had little harmony, but rather a clamorous unison as of many trumpets braying upon a few notes. And it essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but it seemed that its most triumphant notes were taken by the other and woven into its own solemn pattern."

Format: double drabble
Genre:
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Valarin and older Quenya names for some of the characters (though identities should still be obvious)
Characters: mostly Osse, Ulmo, discussion of Melkor, mention of other Ainur and Eru
Pairings:
Summary: Even in the Beginning of the Beginning, Osse was drawn to Melkor's Themes, and Ulmo worried for his impetuous Maia...

B2MeM Challenge: Multi-Age: Maglor in history. (This is the prompt that got me started thinking along these lines, but the story as finished doesn't really fit it at all.)
Multi-Age: Idioms & Translations. (There's a tiny bit of this one in there.)

Main character death, from a certain perspective.

Creators' Notes (optional): So I was thinking of various ways to send Maglor home, and this is the wildest idea I could come up with, so of course I had to write it.
Summary: Maglor has one chance to put everything right again, and he's going to take it.

Title: Ainulindalë
Author: Dwimordene
Rating: T-ish?
Prompts: Day 1: Archetype, Loss of Innocence; Day 4: Down the Swift Dark Stream You Go/Back To Lands You Once Did Know; Personal Insanity Challenge: Huinare’s Socrates prompt (sort of… contextually, I think I have it) combined with the Unity prompt, Aliana’s prompt combo (look, look, genocide doesn’t specifically come up – this totally counts! ;-D )
Warnings: Er… kind of… not the clearest or most poetic thing I’ve ever written about these two. See also summary.
Characters: Nienna, Melkor (Eru sort of)
Summary: It’s all just a Freudian love-fest down here. Update: Now with 3 drabbles’ worth of notes (Help! Somebody stop me, it’s a sickness…).

( Ainulindale )

Notes: 1. The Ainulindalë focuses primarily on the contest between Melkor and Eru, but the other Ainur are never wholly silent until the start of the Fourth Theme, which shuts even Melkor up. Focusing on the fact that the others still sing opened space for me for a more complex, brother-sister interaction sustained simultaneously, particularly since in the First Theme and the Second, some Ainur are drawn to Melkor or confused by him, and drift closer to him before being pulled away again as they tune to Ilúvatar’s interventions. Nienna not tuning her song to Melkor’s but remaining face to face with him throughout is a relationship drawn from Emmanuel Levinas’s work – again (one trick pony!).

2. From being comes existence.: It’s Melkor, Nienna, and Levinas, which means that Heidegger has to be here, since it’s all about the fall…

3. The line that Eru raises his hands in the Third Theme comes from the text: Ilúvatar ends the Third Theme and begins the Fourth by raising both his hands. The most obvious interpretation of this gesture, combined with what Eru sings, is to say that it means “Stop”; but to me, the gesture also evokes the line “laying on of hands,” and so memories of priests laying both hands on or over a child or someone sick in order to bless the person, or holding both hands over the broken Host to hallow it. Obviously, then, Ilúvatar needs someone or something to bless, and why not Melkor and Nienna and their struggle, which will play out throughout the entirety of the Fourth Theme?

4. That barrel song: it’s so much more cheerful than the lines suggest! I had forgotten about that – it’s like a nursery rhymne, full of you know not what threatening or horrifying aspects until you get old enough to start paying attention to the lyrics. Good job, B2MEM crew, your ploy is working!
