    Summary

    “So, this Melkor. How do you feel when he looks at you?”

    Like I’ve swallowed lava and it’s burning me from the inside out. Like I’m poised on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the drop below, butterflies in my stomach and thunder in my heart. Like I’ve sunk down to the ocean floor, down where there is nothing but darkness and the ghostly white light of ancient things, unseen by any until now, until me.

    *

    In which love doesn’t come without work, walls built and broken, trust that must be tended as diligently as any growing thing.

    Melkor and Mairon, in the present day.
