Title: Heresy
Fandom: Silmarillion
Characters: Maedhros
Prompt: BMEM Day 22
Word Count: 791
Rating: Teen (for character death)
Summary: "The cruel servants of Celegorm seized his young sons and left them to starve in the forest. Of this Maedhros indeed repented, and sought for them long in the woods of Doriath."
Author's Notes: Also written for mistry89, who long ago asked me for an Elured + Elurin story.

Multimedia Note: Sorta kinda inspired by PFR's song Wonder Why (lyrics). This doesn't exactly evoke the mood I'd want while reading this piece, but the lyrics definitely captures Maedhros's character as I see it - at least at this late date.
