    In the bedchamber, Annatar pressed the hilt of a dagger into Celebrimbor's hand. He held Celebrimbor's gaze, something pleading in his eyes.

    ***

    Annatar is upset about something he will not speak about. Celebrimbor just wants to help. Unfortunately, he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

    Tangential - Just Another Modern AU Spare Bits & Pieces by

    Summary

    A friend asked that I move a writing exercise from Tumblr to AO3 for ease of access and, as I was editing, it occurred to me to create a space to air writing that did not, for whatever reason, make it into the main body of that huge Modern AU WIP. So, here it is:

    A stash of unused chapters, character studies, world-building background, mojo stimulating writing exercises, vignettes, headcanons and any other spare bits interesting enough to read.

    With a story this long, and this complicated, a writer needs to trim things to the bone or cut it entirely to keep the narrative streamline and the plot moving at an exciting pace. So I'll tuck the better bits here for your amusement.

    Thank you, everybody, you've all been so wonderful! A humble writing mouse bobs in an awkward, Rat-like curtsey, very kind, much appreciated, may fortune find you and love walk with you every day of your life.

    Summary

    “You must know this", Melkor said, his piercing gaze pinning Mairon in place, cold like a cuff against his skin. “The pleasure I offer is great, but it comes with a price. I will not make this easy for you. I will not be gentle. I will not be kind. Do you understand?”
    Mairon swallowed. “Yes, Master."
    “No." Melkor's tone was sharp as a whip. “Do not say it unless you mean it. Unless you are willing to suffer for it."

    Mairon is a burned-out PhD researcher with a messy apartment, a deteriorating relationship and co-workers that hate him. All this changes when he applies for funding from the infamous company Utumno. There he meets the enigmatic Melkor Bauglir, who awakes a part in Mairon that he did not even know existed.
