Summary
“So, this Melkor. How do you feel when he looks at you?”
Like I’ve swallowed lava and it’s burning me from the inside out. Like I’m poised on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the drop below, butterflies in my stomach and thunder in my heart. Like I’ve sunk down to the ocean floor, down where there is nothing but darkness and the ghostly white light of ancient things, unseen by any until now, until me.
*
In which love doesn’t come without work, walls built and broken, trust that must be tended as diligently as any growing thing.
Melkor and Mairon, in the present day.

Summary
Tom Jopson never desired an interesting life. He served King Francis. He daydreamed about the day he would be able to marry Edward Little, the man he had loved since childhood — a childhood spent in a town that believed him to be a girl, despite the fact that he knew otherwise.
And yet was happy, he thought — or at least something close to it — serving and dreaming and pretending to be someone he wasn’t. But then came the King’s despair, leaving him unfit to rule. Then came Sir John, with his heavy taxation policies and brutal hand over the people. Tom’s careful peace had begun to fall apart, and he was forced to take matters into his own hands.
With the Sheriff of Nottingham on his tail, only a handful of other criminals and one of the Sheriff’s own deputies on his side, and the man he loves stuck in the castle under Sir John’s control, Tom is left with only one option: see his home set free, or die trying.
Written for The Terror Big Bang 2023
