Thinking about this line in the Book of Lost Tales about Maeglin/Meglin: "Whispers there were that he had Ork's blood in his veins" Even though the narrator doubts it, it's just such a fascinating idea to me.

I'm back to thinking about Fallen Banners (Celebrimbor and Maeglin) and the potential of these two if Tolkien had stuck with the version in which Tyelpe had been "one of the survivors of Gondolin, who had been among Turgon's greatest artificers."
There's such interesting overlap between the two characters. The parallels and juxtaposition are fascinating.
-Celebrimbor was a great smith and Maeglin too was a craftsman, as well as a miner and a warrior. They had common interests and would find each other's knowledge fascinating.
-They both lost their mothers in different ways and had complicated relationships with their fathers. Celebrimbor denounced Curufin and Maeglin tried to escape Eol. Nevertheless they carry the shadow of the male members of their family in different ways. Maeglin is forever affected by the way his father brought him up. Celebrimbor's choices are affected by his admiration of Feanor.
-Maeglin had feelings for Idril, while in one version Celebrimbor had feelings for Galadriel. The objects of their admiration were blondes who chose another man/elf over them. But their choices diverge. Maeglin tries to possess Idril. He wants the death of her husband and actively tries to kill her son. Celebrimbor messes up too in a way. Nevertheless he remains uncorrupted 'of heart or faith'. In the version in which Celebrimbor loves Galadriel, he makes for her the Elessar to heal and make everything fair and later he sends Nenya to Galadriel. Where Maeglin tries to destroy the one he desires, Celebrimbor tries to aid.
-They both come in contact with a Dark Lord. Maeglin, despite not being a weakling, caves in at the idea of the torture he'd have to endure at the hands of Morgoth. In one version in the Lost Tales he does not escape pain completely, because Melkor puts on him a spell of dread and Maeglin does not feel happiness thereafter. Celebrimbor was stronger. After he understands who Annatar is and even as he's being tortured and can understand what will happen to him, he doesn't break.
I don't know... these two just compel me so much. They would understand each other in a way that no one else could. They would admire each other, be constanty fascinated by one another, they could discuss their familial situations and find solace. They might even be attached to each other enough to move leave their unrequited feelings behind.
-Я же тебе нравлюсь?
-Пфф... Мечтай!!!

"'Twas good to see Meglin die so, for he would set arms about my mother -- and I liked him not;", is such a striking line coming from a child of Earendil's years.
At such a tender age Earendil experienced the siege, he had an understanding of Maeglin wanting to kill him and even defended himself against him. And still he knew that Maeglin's real target, the one he saw as a 'prize' was Idril all along. He is not even motivated to speak thus because of what HE went through. Instead it is his fear for his mother's well-being that he thinks of first and foremost. It's all even more tragic because Maeglin was his uncle. He could and should have been someone to look out for him and for Idril. Instead of any fond memory, what Earendil has left of his uncle is a twisted feeling of watching someone die for the first time and despite the violence and the horror of that moment feeling glad that it happened.
