Heh! I suspect there was no need for further wagering - after this, Maglor had kind of acquired a taste for it. Or maybe after Sir Gawain was (of course! ;)) a huge success at Harry Hotspur's christmas bash, Maglor just got commissioned further works... (that'd explain some of the odd subjects, at least ;))

Thank you so much! And yes, "who else but Maglor" was exactly my thought after reading yet another secondary work that praised the genius of the Gawain-poet to the heavens... (This story was written while I should have been writing a paper on Sir Gawain. *shifty eyes*)

Thank you! Alas, I've been meaning to write about how they met after the 1st Age and ended up not hating each other after all for... oof... many years now, but somehow, it hasn't yet happened. Maybe at some later point...

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
