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.)
General Prompts: Cultural Identification, connection with land, culture. (Bit of this one in there too.)
General Prompts: Walt Whitman's Song of Myself. (This one's probably the most to blame; I could mine this poem for stories for years!)
Format: Short story - 3800 words.
Genre: Crackfic, Experimental, Family, AU
Rating: PG-13 maybe (I'm really not sure how to rate this, but it probably shouldn't be read by kids.)
Warnings: Main character death, from a certain perspective.Characters: Maglor, Feanor, Morgoth
Pairings: referenced Feanor/Nerdanel
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.
"I laugh at what you call dissolution/And I know the amplitude of time." -
