Sci-fi and fantasy, currently obsessed with The Silmarillion (Maedhros, Maglor, Elrond, Glorfindel, my loves). Tabletop RPGs, especially The One Ring 2e. Trekkie, Transformers, Stargate SG-1. Ao3 is dragonbornsandwaffles. Love a good fix-it fic. Fëanorian at heart. Header by erekuri, icon by veluv_art.
Hello! If you've found this blog, you're probably into sci-fi like Transformers or Star Trek, tabletop RPGs, or the Silmarillion (or shitposting in general). I've been writing fanfiction for over 20 years, though I've only just started posting on Ao3 under the name dragonbornsandwaffles.
I adore a good fix-it fic, and fics that have sci-fi elements like time-loops or eldritch entities have my whole heart. I also love to explore characters and elements like grief, love, strength, and healing. My works tend to give more nuance to female characters and explore who they are outside of their roles in relation to male characters. I do write E works on Ao3 and might link to them from time to time.
Though I am more Fëanorian- and Kidnap Fam-based, I also believe the situation in the Silmarillion is too complex to choose "sides," and I also have great empathy for the Sindar. Everyone was just trying their best in an impossible situation. I don't engage in discourse about who was better, etc. We all love our blorbos and I just don't see the point.
Main blorbos: Maedhros, Maglor, Elrond, and Glorfindel, but I also adore Nerdanel, Míriel, and Haleth. Fëanor as well - he needs a ton of grief counseling. I have a huge soft spot for Elwing, Eluréd, and Elurín. Out of the Valar, Irmo and Estë.
Main ships: Russingon, Maglorfindel, and Fëanel. On the side, Halenthir and Celrond. Erestor Caranthirion truther.

To Begin Again: M, Eldritch and High Kings Maedhros and Elrond AU, 150k+ words. My main longfic series. After being reforged and sent directly to Valinor days before the Darkening, Maedhros discovers that the House of Fëanor can reverse the Doom of the Noldor. Meanwhile, Maglor simultaneously finds himself in Third Age Eriador. The two brothers must learn to control their new powers while simultaneously saving their people from the Doom across the span of three ages. The bulleted fics below are part of this AU.
Every Ending is a Chance: T, 17k words. "As the lava burns his fëa away, Maedhros is reforged and returns to Valinor before the Darkening. But the Valar have something more in store for him, and Maedhros isn't sure he wants to know what..." A prequel of sorts to this universe, covering how Maedhros came to be High King and the specifics of the Doom.
A Place by the Fire: T, 16k words. "A year after Maedhros falls into the fires that are his Doom, Maglor finds himself falling into Third Age Imladris. At one point, he would have welcomed a new home with new friends and family. Now, the thought terrifies him - particularly when the silmaril melded to his hand starts to take on a life of its own. At least Rivendell is a place of love and healing." Part two of the prequels, covering how Maglor reunited with Elrond and started to experience his eldritch powers.
Courage of Stars: M, 116k words and counting (WIP). "An eldritch Maedhros gets more than he bargained for when he attempts a daring rescue in Angband. Meanwhile, in the Third Age, Elrond faces the Valar and Fingolfin, Fingon, and a flamboyance of Fëanorians arrive in Rivendell. Rediscovering family ties and what it means to be at peace whilst finding romance and learning to deal with emerging eldritch powers is a lot harder than it sounds." The main work for To Begin Again. It has time travel, domestic fluff, grieving rituals, accidental child acquisition, terrible puns, actual family bonding between Fëanor and Fingolfin, Fëanorian-Hobbit shenanigans, and more.
Hole in the Wall: G, 2.8k. "Elrond and his children cook up the perfect meal for Celebrían with some less-than-ideal results: Namely, renovating Rivendell one shepherd's pie at a time." A giftfic for the lovely BalrogBalls in the 2024 White Oliphaunt Gift Exchange.

Frankly some of you should be hornier over weirder shit. The fear of being too genuine is the enemy of art. Be a bit of a pervert. It's good for the health. Doesn't have to be a sexual thing just own up to being a bit obsessed in some cringe shit it's fine.
There once was a singer of old,
Who then broke away from the fold,
He won’t give you up,
He won’t let you down,
In a word you have been limerick-rolled.

the thing about chekhov's gun is that the gun does not literally "need to go off by the third act." the story works just as well if someone merely grabs the gun and starts threatening people with it, or if the Jewish protagonist recognizes the particular model as a Politically Concerning piece of world war 2 surplus, or if the gun's owner waxes nostalgic about the last time he fired it, etc. etc. etc.
unfortunately I get the impression that a lot of people do not understand that and therefore build theories around the idea that if the gun is not Specifically taken down from the wall and fired, it serves no purpose to the story, so why the hell was it there in the first place
