Sorry that it's a little late!! Also, if you want a better quality version of it, DM me :) (it was too big for tumblr)

The text reads: "The Winter's festival Insurrection lasted one hour and ended in a decisive victory for the King and his husband. The treasonous Princes were then sentenced to one month dishes duty for their heinous crimes against the Throne"

And they were overlords... oh my god they were overlords

Please let me know if yall can't read my handwriting!! Anyways I think this first interaction would be absolutely hysterical

(Click on the images for a very slightly better resolution... thanks Tumblr for scrumbling the quality🙄)

Thanks again to @snowiedelta for my life, here are some of the au sketches I've done so far

So uhhh I heard creepy Manwë and kinda ran with it so sorry abt that.... but I kinda got an idea where what if Mairon doesn't know he's the Flame, and each time he's used its super jarring and confusing because afterwards his memory of it is always erased...

Anywho here are some descriptions

1. From when he first gained consciousness and tried to bargain for his freedom.. poor baby :(

2 + 3. Melkor being eerily protective of his lieutenant and Mairon not being upset with it in the slightest

4-6. Mairons response to "shed your hroa and expose your fea so we can use it please and thank you" because asking someone to casually take of their skin to harvest their spirit is super fucking weird?? Manwë doesn't see the problem with this request

7 + 8. The transformation from his maia-sona to his truer form

9. Memory wiping in progress. Swirly eyes...

Everyone's favorite funky bat lady

Example: what if during the war of Wrath, Melkor decides that he might need a plan B, just in case.

So one day he calls Mairon over to help on a project that required "superior craftmanship"

Marion is all "dear god what abomination are you making today" but helps anyway, not knowing what's up

After a little while (Mairon still doesn't know what's going on) theres this flash of light and pop! A tiny thing appears on the anvil or whatever they were working on

Melkor is absolutely stoked because after all this time, he tried to make something of his own instead of corrupting things around him and it actually worked

It takes Mairon a few seconds to comprehend what just happened lol

The kid inherits both of their powers/abilities but it takes a while for them to get a hold of it

The orc captains are scared of the kid because they'll be getting yelled at by the dark lord when this tiny thing walks in, babbles a bunch of nonsense while Melkor is fawning over his perfect little creation. The captains are so confused but they soon learn not to interrupt or ask what hes doing (or who the kid is shhhh it's a secret), or else bonk! Hammer to the head.

Mairon is unimpressed with the kid's lack of speech, mobility and coherent thought, but ends up spending a lot of time with them anyway because if you dont keep your eye on a magic baby/toddler with the ability to shapeshift they might just turn into a key or smth for a couple days and you spend an ungodly amount of time looking for someone who's in your pocket

Melkor insists that they wear full armor for protection, and it's very easy to tell when they're bumbling down the hall when you hear a bunch of bitty *clank clonk* noises of their little boots

It's not easy being raised in the middle of a war but what are ya gonna do

Then when Mairon leaves at the end of the war of Wrath, Melkor has him take the kid with him (I mean, he couldn't not leave the kid with some sort of unresolved childhood trauma, he's the king of daddy issues after all)

Thus, Mairon has to raise them mostly on his own. It gets difficult when he's pulling his schemes on Numenor and all but who's gonna notice another (shapeshifted) teenaged apprentice murking about who showed up suspiciously around the same time as this other new guy?

They get back to living it up again once they're in Mordor, though they have their fair share of household chores

They're not told their name until the third age just before the Ring enters Mordor. This was done so that they wouldn't commit any inherently evil acts until after Mairon was gone, so that if Mairon was brought to trial, they couldn't accuse the kid of anything. Mandos can't convict/imprison one who hasn't done anything wrong. (And even if the kid did do something warranting the wrath of the Valar how are you going to convict nobody of something?)

Like could you imagine, the Vala in the fourth age, having finally rid Eä of both Morgoth and Sauron, when they get word of little Timmy who is committing mass arson and wreaking havoc across middle earth

Idk these are just my Thoughts

Bonus: the kid eventually breaks into Valinor, rescues Melkor from the void and steals whatevers left of Mairon

I've decided to slowly come back to tumblr! Things have been slowing down and I'm starting to have more free time on my hands. To celebrate, here's an old WIP of the one, the only Mairon!

I haven't had very much energy for just about anything lately (let alone creating things) but I colored in these bad boys from a while back!! I hope you like it!! Happy birthday Nelyo!! :D
