TRSB2020 Summer Showcase

[narya_flame]

 

Apologies, folks, the DW blog has got a little behind the Tumblr blog in terms of sharing the showcase pieces; to avoid spamming everyone's feeds, we will post one at a time in staggered schedule here until we are caught up!

Without further ado we bring you the lovely writer and artist @maedhrosrussandol​ (also maedhrosrussandol on DeviantArt, and Nelwafinwefeanorion and lotrfan on AO3), showcasing the heartbreaking fic...


 What Is Lost

 
 

Tell us a little bit about yourself

 

“I have been a Tolkien fan since I read The Hobbit at age 10. I read LOTR and the Silmarillion soon after. As an adult I read LOTR yearly. In the last decade I have done that with the Silmarillion as well. I found online fandom in 2015 and began reading and writing fic that year, as I recovered from ankle surgery. I’m in the medical profession, having been an orthopaedic surgeon for over 20 years. I am an unabashed fan of the Beatles, 80s alternative music, Yuri on Ice anime, the LOTR films, Guy Gavriel Kay’s books, and Marvel’s Runaways comics. I write primarily LOTR and Silmarillion fanfic, although I dabbled in Yuri on Ice fic when the show was airing. I’ve taken up sketching again, after a very long hiatus.

I am participating in the TSRB as a writer this year and am very excited about the art/artist I am paired with.”

 

Tell us about the piece you’re showcasing

 

Title: What Is Lost

Rating: Teens And Up

 

Pairings: Maedhros/Fingon

 

Warnings: Mentions of canon character death

 

Summary: Maedhros and Maglor in the immediate aftermath of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. Flashbacks to Tirion. Maedhros and Fingon first realizing about their relationship and feelings for each other.

 

“This was the first Maedhros/Fingon fic I ever wrote and it holds a special place for me for that reason. It was also the first slash pairing I wrote.”
