I forgot to post here my Lords of Gondolin tarot cards series!

It was commissioned by lovely @intea a few years ago

So here's how I've written him:

Elven Songs and Dwarven Bells - queerplatonic Celebrimbor/Maeglin in Himlad after his leaving Nan Elmoth with Aredhel.

Refuge in the Dark - complicated Idril/Maeglin as they seek refuge in each other's bodies during the nights in Gondolin.

Stars Above, Voice Within - slow burn Túrin/Maeglin in Nargothrond and the reforging of Gurthang (canon divergence).

And here are a few of my favorite unique takes from folks who write Maeglin's relationships so well:

How to Have Dinner With Your Cousin and No Longer Mourn by @jaz-the-bard - Idril, Maeglin, (and Tuor) learning to live together from Gondolin to Valinor. Emotional rollercoasters.

the prince and the knight by @russingon - hot and totally unexpected Glorfindel/Maeglin with lovely Gondolin worldbuilding.

Cracks in an old mirror by @joyfullynervouscreator - a beautiful, heart-wrenching Ecthelion/Maeglin, post-canon Valinor.

This last one is accompanied by @toastedbuckwheat's gorgeous art. Actually here, just look at all of Adam's maegthelion art - this ship has fully crawled into my heart.

A late Valentine's Day post with some of my favorite ships! <3 <3 <3
