Title: Chasing Mirages, by Russandol
Type of Fanwork: Story (Adventure, Drama, Slash/Femslash)
Length (if applicable): 170853 words
Rating: Adult
Warnings: ***Rape/Non-consensual Sex, ***Torture, Character Death, Expletive Language, Mature Themes, Sexual Content--Graphic, Violence--Graphic
Summary: The story of Eönwë, Maia of Manwë, and Mairon Aulendil after the War of Wrath. A tale of darkness, light, love and betrayal over the Ages of Eä.
Tolkien simply told us that [Sauron] fell back into evil, for the bonds that Morgoth had laid upon him were very strong. But this line is unsatisfactory in so many levels that it became a challenge to create a plausible background story for Sauron's fall, from the time Eönwë returns to Aman to face the Valar over his decision to free one of Morgoth's most dreaded minions to Sauron's final fate, long after the destruction of the Ring.
Additional info: Not for the faint of heart, but epic in scope and powerfully told. MEFA 2011 1st Place - Incomplete: Drama & Smaug's Treasure (but completed since then)
