Summary
"He will outlive them all, Maglor will. He will raise sons, watch one be buried, he will live to sing and at some points, even laugh. And every day of his life will be measured against this day. Not the day he spills blood into the water but the day before, the one he spends watching the Teleri harbour. Against the sounds of people living and dreaming, unaware as to the ways in which people covet the dreams of others and name it need. A snatch of poetry comes to him, a series of minor chords, and he files them away automatically, for later. And that is when Maglor realises he is no different from the others waiting upon the dock. That he too, has begun to dream Teleri-dreams."
____________
One day before the First Kinslaying at Alqualondë, Fëanor and his sons sit on the docks and watch the Teleri build their swan-ships.Bookmarked by SweetShireBones

Summary
"Sometimes, Atya — sometimes I fear I was born at the precipice of some disaster, and lived my life as an appendix to all the great tragedies of Arda," Elrond's smile twists bitterly. "That I am destined to only love the dying things of this world. I suppose this boy too is yet another of that tremendous procession of things that will one day come to pass."
"You were not destined to only love dying things," Maglor shakes his head calmly, as if delivering a lesson. "You were destined to be someone whom dying things cannot help but love. There is a difference."
______
Maglor makes his yearly visit to Imladris as Elrond is cleaning up after young Estel's memorably messy handwriting lesson, and the two have a conversation about fatherhood, oaths, and the inheritance of kindness.(all works in the Feral Children series can and probably should be read standalone)
