_Yolofinwë_

Especially since coming to Beleriand, Maedhros is very protective and rarely lets you go out of the kingdom unaccompanied

When you’re at formal gatherings, he keeps as close to you as possible, not satisfied unless you’re within arms reach

It could get unhealthy, since his family tend to obsess over things and are predisposed to violence

He’s lost so much in his life, he hangs onto you all the more tightly because of it, he can’t afford to lose you otherwise he might go insane

Especially towards the end of his life with the oath weighing heavily on his mind, Maedhros will restrict your movements, even to the point of you not leaving his fortress

You have a permeant guard assigned to you and they regularly report your activities back to him

It may feel a bit like a gilded cage by the end, the only people he trusts you around are Maglor, Elrond and Elros

In Valinor, he’s more relaxed with you, although he still likes to keep an eye on what you’re doing

He thinks you’re so beautiful that people might try to steal you away. Even if you insist that he’s the only one you want, he still has a tiny doubt in the back of his head

Who could steal you away anyway? He’s a tall, handsome Ñoldor prince, and not to mention a fantastic warrior. There are few who could top that, apart from the Valar

If you’re on a ride with him or in a battle and are attacked, he’ll always swoop in and save you without a second thought. Due to his time in Angband, he doesn’t have any instinct to save himself so your safety will come before his own every time

When other diplomats make conversation with him and bring you up, he tries not to talk about you since he doesn’t think it’s anyone else’s business

Himring, the “Ever-cold”.

Its canon that elves can channel magic through singing (press f for finrod’s epic rap battle), and I was thinking about how an elf probably is able to use magic because of their immortal spirits. Then I was thinking that life-altering events, say, crossing the Helcaraxë, would probably have an effect on one’s immortal spirit, and thus would probably affect one’s magical abilities. Then I thought about how an elf might be able to deeply study and understand something (like ice) to the point where they can determine it’s Song.

That made me think of Fingolfin, leading his people across the ice and being forced to become colder, more brittle, in order to keep his people going and survive. Fingolfin whose sword is described as glittering with ice, whose sword was glittering with ice, a song he sang before battle to enchant his blade. Fingon who could freeze opponents with a chant before shattering them with his sword. Aredhel who would whisper songs to her arrows until the water in the air condensed around them and froze, freezing her opponents blood when they struck.

And of Maedhros, who stood aside during the burning of the ships and stared into the fire until he could hear it’s crackling in his dreams. Who endured the fiery whips of the Balrogs and the white-hot brands of the enemy. Who was reforged in the fires of Angband and came out ruthless and unrelenting. Maedhros calling forth fire on the end of his blade to sear his enemies, whose hatred glowed so hot some would swear they saw his eyes filled with fire while he enemies fled in fear.
