Ok so I do like using Lindir is actually Maglor.
But I love the idea that he’s just some random kid who got promoted by Elrond because he has the people skills and can handle things like rowdy dwarves without causing a political fallout. Before this he was just happily doing his thing being a minstrel in the Hall of Fire, which is where Celebrian first noticed this talent.
He was offered the job. He accepted with honour.
But he didn’t realise the sheer amount of shenanigans such a job would entail. And now he’s permanently part of the House of Elrond and all the drama and fun that comes with it.
Featuring: An Age Old Kinslayer reluctantly dragged kicking and screaming by a far too happy Glorfindel to his new home. A grumpy advisor. A very flamboyant Captain who for some reason loves to irritate everyone the Advisor and sad old Kinslayer. A workaholic Lord far too good at playing off his exhaustion. A deceptively mischievous Lady who ropes him into her schemes. And a constant stream of Dunedain chieflings playing in the halls, bringing chaos where they go, almost knocking over priceless artefacts.
And let’s not forget Elrond’s children. He’s only a century older than Elladan and Elrohir and has a minor crisis when they call him ‘Uncle’ for the first time. (They grow out of it very quickly, but still call him that on occasion just to mess with him.)
Arwen’s no better.
Aragorn… well he can’t fault the boy for it. By this point it’s endearing rather than crisis inducing… though that might just be because he’s human.
(Elrond’s very proud of him.)
