    Punching out my dancelines by ,

    Fandom The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

    10 Jun 2026

    Summary

    This is where I'm going to put all the stories that happen in the DWMP universe but don't necessarily fall within that particular arc. So some of it is (relevant) backstory, some of it is (irrelevant) backstory, some is side story, etc. I'll try and indicate in the notes where/when each story falls, but it generally won't have any impact on DWMP itself, and the collection shouldn't be read as at all cohesive.

    Basically I want a place to fool around in this modern AU without feeling the need to be particularly plot-driven - but still explore some of the backstory I've created that so far exists only as notes.

    (This is also to keep me from getting burnt out writing a chronological chaptered work - sometimes I just want to play around in the sandbox I've created!)

    I often write dwmp fic that gets posted to my Tumblr but, because of length or quality or on account of some other whimsy, does not get cross-posted to Ao3. If you want to make sure you don't miss out, hit up my fic tag or follow me there!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    It is Yule Tide eve in Gondolin and Maeglin sits alone and awaits the end of the night, noticed only by a passing maid. She considers, and moves on.

    A touching and tentative side story to auroracode's "If somebody loved you, they'd tell you by know." As sweet and beautiful as it is painful.

    Summary

    The door opens. Alec tenses, and his body throbs.
     
    A man steps through, and Alec curls his fingers into his palms, terror pulsing through him. Because the man isn't a man. He's a warlock. A demon. The same person he felt crouching over him when he fell.

    Why is he here? What has the warlock done to him?

    "Well well, little angel. You're awake."

    ***

    Alec has been told the same stories all his life. He's been taught the same lines, over and over again. Downworlders are reckless, impulsive, demonic. They're not to be trusted.

    And Magnus Bane is the epitome of everything evil about Downworlders.

    At least, that's what people keep telling him. Alec's not quite so sure anymore.

    Or: In which the Nephilim have wings, are taught to loathe Downworlders, and Alec is presented with a conundrum when Magnus Bane saves his life.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    When Alec is shot out of the sky during battle, he expects to fall to death - not on the doorstep of one Magnus Bane, extra-avagant warlock and the Clave's most wanted criminal. But, contrary to Alec's prejudice and racist views that the Clave induced in him, said warlock saves his life. While struggling with the injustices of the Conclave and the world-threatening machinations of Valentine Morgenstern, their reluctant acquaintance slowly morphs into a tentative friendship, then develops into mutual care...

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “He is half my soul, as the poets say.”

    A story as short and intense as one gaze meeting another; a coincidental glance; a chance encounter; lasting only a moment but leaving a mark that stays forever -
    very beautiful, somehow made me feel almost tender.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Throughout centuries, the tower of Barad-dûr stands strong against the flow of time - until it falls. Still, its story does not end there.
