More Drabbles
For heartofoshun is a strange quibble featuring a possibly-crazy Maglor, a decidedly weird Maedhros, and a lifetime of memories that might explain why Maglor chose the fate that he did.

"One thousand years together and I can never not see him."
Just kills me! (Can't promise I am articulate tonight.)
“Do not call me that.” You will not let us call you Nelyo of the childhood lost or Maitimo of the beauty you no longer possess or even Nelyafinwë of the kingship you forsook, so Maedhros-that bitter name upon my tongue-do not call me that name I was given by my mother, that name I was called in love by my wife, the meaning of which is also lost.
I can so completely believe this too.
"Imposing, yes, and still beautiful-but not if you knew when he was."
I actually had this thought run through my mind recently, though could never have put it this well...
"No, I’d always liked music where the score always led somewhere and there were rarely surprises."
Reminds me of Mozart--not a surprise to him perhaps, only a surprise to us mortals you can't believe how he does it and makes it feel like it nothing else could/should have ever been there. I would expect no less of Macalaurë.
The refrain of “How did this happen?” is also for me an echo the thoughts of those of us who love them so...
Of course, the memories of better days are more poignant than I can even articulate in tossed-off comment like this one. Amras looking asleep is another wonderful/terrible/heartbreaking image.
Such a beautiful piece. Thank you so much!

P.S. "It is like those rocks-it tumbles where it will!" The piece I am working on now (Maitimo/Findekáno) uses an image of rocks tumbling, totally different context and don't even know yet if it works yet, but so strange to find one here. (Supposed to Twilight Zone theme music here....sorry about that.)

That's exactly what I meant, and I'm glad that it came across! I was half-expecting some well-meaning individual to point out that music can be surprising. But from Macalaure's PoV....

I think that you could have. You underestimate yourself! :)

OME! You're totally right! I remember noting that line and thinking, "That's a cool image!" wondering if I had seen it somewhere before.... *facepalm* I forget my own stories, if you didn't know, so if you hadn't pointed out the coincidence then I would have admired your image without ever realizing that I'd used the same idea.
Great minds think alike! ;)
