A Stolen Gift by Flora-lass
Fanwork Notes
I found it hard to make it totally clear in this poem who Maglor is referring to when he says 'you'. It's more often Elrond, as that's who Maglor is holding, but sometimes it's both the twins (the phrase and title 'a stolen gift' refers to both of them, of course). But when Maglor says 'we', he means himself and Maedhros.
The mention of snow is due to the fact that there was snow on the ground when I started writing this, and I could hear children playing in it.
Updated nearly a year later to add a link to my friend's lovely painting 'Laughter in the Snow', which brings that phrase in my poem to life (and also gives Maglor some joy). Updated again in May 2025, to add some thoughts from Maedhros about life in the 'kidnap family' while in the painting scene (as discussed with the artist).

Maglor's inevitably sad thoughts, with a very young Elrond asleep on his lap after a nightmare. Maedhros and young Elros are nearby.
(Updated a year and more later, with a link to a painting, and a new 'chapter' with the thoughts of Maedhros in the painting scene).
