Said the Spider to the Fly

❝Ah! F-f…okay…❞ the smith spoke through gritted teeth, leaning farther over to grasp tightly onto the opposite lip of the desk with one hand.

Annatar bit back a smile as he gleefully whipped the other. “There, there,” he soothed, patting Celebrimbor’s back. “All will be well.”

Celebrimbor spread his legs, making it easier to bend over against the desk. ❝S-stop, Annatar wait...❞ he breathed, trembling slightly.

In Darkness Caught

Celebrimbor settled as the Maia’s hand calmed him, and he unthinkingly leaned into the touch. ❝I’m managing,❞ he whispered in reply.

Glancing up tiredly, he watched Annatar for a moment. ❝D'you...honestly care though? You're just looking to use me and throw me away anyway...❞

So Sweet A Poison

His mouth felt dry, and he looked up at Annatar’s smiling face. ❝…What have you done?❞ he whispered, blue eyes dulled. ❝Why do you ask for my trust?❞

Annatar laughed and pressed a gentle kiss to Celebrimbor’s hand, then showed him the - empty - vial of poison.

Celebrimbor's gaze fell on the vial in his friend's hand, and his eyes widened. ❝You didn't, y-you...you poisoned me?❞ Stumbling away, the smith clutched his stomach. ❝I trusted you!❞

Under no circumstance should a Tyelpe be allowed to befriend an Annatar.

If your Tyelpe accidentally befriends an Annatar and uses Forge to make Rings of Power. Keep your Tyelpe hidden at all costs or a Sauron will use Torture and New Banner on your Tyelpe.

Celebrimbor couldn’t even bring himself to meet her eyes. He hadn’t been able to make eye contact at all since the brutal slaughtering of his people and his family. ❝I…Lossë I’m sorry. More than you will ever know.❞ daughterofsilvers

Lossë stared for a moment, recognition finally setting in. “Father,” she whispered. “Daddy it is you!!” She jumped forward and hugged him tightly.

Celebrimbor hugged his daughter in return, sighing into her hair. ❝I love you so much…❞

She laid her head on his chest. “I love you, too. I’m glad you’re back.” She smiled up at him, having so many things she wanted to tell him.

Glancing away as she looked up at him, he recognized her smile in his peripheral vision, and he sighed. ❝I'm sorry for leaving you...❞

In Darkness Caught

By the time Annatar had returned, Celebrimbor was drifting in an out of disturbed sleep, occasionally waking with a jolt as his body feared more pain and invasion.

Annatar reached forward and carefully ran his fingers through Celebrimbor’s hair until the other awoke. “How are you?” he asked softly.

Celebrimbor settled as the Maia’s hand calmed him, and he unthinkingly leaned into the touch. ❝I’m managing,❞ he whispered in reply.

So Sweet A Poison

Celebrimbor’s body curled in on itself in response to the sudden wave of nausea made him lurch. ❝A-ah! Annatar, I ─❞ he wrapped his fingers tightly around the Maia’s wrist, ❝what is happening?!❞

He smiled. “Nothing melon, have no fear.” He patted Celebrimbor’s hand. “Do you trust me?”

His mouth felt dry, and he looked up at Annatar’s smiling face. ❝...What have you done?❞ he whispered, blue eyes dulled. ❝Why do you ask for my trust?❞

She moaned, pulling a pillow over her head. “Daddy five more minutes, please?”

Celebrimbor shook his head. ❝Nope, sorry. You've already been asleep for far too long.❞

Unmasked

Annatar sighed impatiently, rolling his eyes heavily. “If that so amuses you,” he growled, already imagining his revenge. “Then so be it.” For now.

❝I could make you do so many things here, little Maia,❞ he offered, running a strong finger down the other’s jaw. ❝Even the most degrading things...❞
