Fanwork Notes

This fic was a collaboration with athlai on Tumblr, who made the amazing artwork! I'm so glad I got the chance to participate in TRSB, and write my first fic for one of my favorite ships.

The title is song lyrics from "Stained Nocturne" by toa.

Thank you to those in the Guild of Scribes Discord for the beta- daughterofshadows, maglor_my_beloved, and unicornsinspace. I couldn't have finished this without you!

Daeron is drawn to the shores by a haunting melody, and encounters Maglor, for the first time since the Mereth Aderthad.

Maglor lies to Daeron, and Daeron promises to deliver death, watching over him.
