Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

36. Marriage to Maedhros

- You weren't married to Maedhros before the flight of the Noldor, and he purposefully put it off for a long time before finally marrying you.

- Mainly because he felt that he wouldn't be able to uphold his vows to you and be able to fulfill the oath.

- So one or the other would've had to have taken priority, with the oath being the most dangerous that's the one he had to fulfill first.

- When he is reborn and you both meet once again, Maedhros is very quick to spend time with you, apologizing to you for everything that happened.

- Including the hell that he feels like he drug you through, telling you he will do everything and more to make up for it all.

- Even if you forgave him way before this apology he felt it important to get it out there and in the open with you. Wanting you to know he was and is truly remorseful.

- So when you both are finally in Valinor together, he is very quick to jump at the opportunity to ask you to marry him and wed himself to you.

- Married life with Maedhros is going to be completely different to how things were on Arda when you were courting.

- No longer will you have to worry about the hot and cold behavior of his trauma as it will have been dealt with in the Halls of Mandos.

- He is much happier and far more carefree like he was before the Oath.

- He is much wiser because of everything that has happened, and even though his playfulness may be more tame, he will still always find ways to make sure you're enjoying yourself with him.

- Honestly Maedhros may have dealt with his trauma but he is probably far more closed off with everyone except his family.

- Preferring if you both keep your relationship between you both, even sometimes from his family.

- Their lives had been laid bare before so many elves once before, now he just wants there to be seclusion and serenity when you're together..

- So you both will probably live somewhere still close to his mother, but more secluded for the privacy.

- Maedhros just wants the time you both spend together at home, to be between you both and as uninterrupted as possible.

- Maedhros is affectionate, probably more affectionate than he used to be before the flight, to "make up for all of that lost time in between".

- Even though he is still a sucker for propriety he does go more out of his way to hold your hand and plant small kisses on your face with care.

- His love language is certainly quality time and touch, as every moment you are with him he finds a way to feel your soft skin beneath his fingers.

- Maedhros will take his time with everything that involves you, he feels that so much of your time together on Arda had been rushed and that here at home now he has the freedom to have you like he wants.

- Once again even though he loves rules and propriety, this wanes considerably when married as he just wants to savor every single second he can with you.

- Mornings are always slow and lazy even when there are important meetings to be had, strolls are long and comfortable even if they are quiet, and bed time is filled with hours worth of intimacy and cuddles.

- The talk of kids is absolutely back on the table and in full force if that's what you want.

- He doesn't care how many children you want, Maedhros loves you and only you and wants nothing more to build further onto the family you two have created already.

- Maedhros wants nothing more to make sure you are happiest with him, wanting to give as much of himself as he can to you, making sure that your marriage with him will always be full of the love and adoration you deserved from the beginning.
