Fingon has avoided his best friend and lover ever since Maedhros was Reborn a decade ago. As Fingon can’t ever imagine forgiving Maedhros for the Kinslayings, avoiding him seems like the kindest course of action. 

Oddly enough, Earendil the Mariner and his wife Elwing have forgiven Maedhros. Earendil has even invited Maedhros to join his crew in advance of an expected Void monster incursion. Since Fingon refuses to miss out on the fun of monster fighting, he decides he'll just have to ignore Maedhros during the voyage.

Fingon did not expect for his heart to nearly stop when Maedhros recklessly volunteered himself as a monster distraction.  In the wake of this development, Fingon realizes that he has forgiven Maedhros enough to still be in love with him.

It follows logically that Fingon should ask Maedhros to marry him. As Fingon has never once in his life hesitated after he’s decided what ought to be done, he proposes immediately.  

Unfortunately for Fingon, Maedhros firmly believes that Fingon is better off without him. 

Fortunately for Fingon, he's always been able to out-stubborn Maedhros.

Fingon clapped the stranger on the shoulder as he cheerfully informed Maedhros, "Fealasso here is the captain of your bodyguards. They will keep you safe during the community service you’ve volunteered to do in Alqualonde and Tol Eressea.” 

Maedhros closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose as he struggled for patience. 

Or, Fingon outmaneuvers Maedhros. It’s for his own good, of course.

Maedhros had given up all hope of escaping from Angband himself. They never leave him lightly guarded when he is hale enough to run. But that doesn’t keep him from plotting to help somebody else. 

Lirulin didn’t know what to think when the red-headed thrall unlocked their cell and freed her and her family from their chains. But it gave them the chance to implement their laboriously planned escape attempt. So, they didn't question their luck. 

Later, after Lirulin was free, she drew a map of Angband for Fingon. Even though she thought he was crazy. To her joy, she then learned of Fingon’s success. 

Afterward, Lirulin visits Maedhros at his sickbed. They bond over their shared experiences. Then Lirulin bears witness to Maedhros’ strong friendship with Fingon.

For this month’s ‘The Only Thing To Fear’-challenge, I tried something a little different- which was to write short ficlets for as many prompts as possible. (Admittedly, I wanted them to be drabbles at first, but I just couldn’t manage).

Some of these turned more into PTSD-stories than phobias, but I think it still fits the challenge.
