balins: TOLKIEN AU ☆ ELROND as a descendant of CELEGORM[through Dior]Elros is all wild tumbles, dirt on his palms and dark hair mussed with knots. He’s vivacious with a toothy grin and a quick wit. But it’s the other twin, Elrond, that puzzles Maglor.Elrond is a quiet fire with the same metal-grey eyes as his brother. But while Elros’s hair is a dark chestnut, Elrond has a head of silver-hot hair - smooth strands that pool over his shoulders. The other differences between the twins are miniscule, the sharpness of Elrond’s features compared to Elros’s softer smile or the downturn of the mouth that sets the twins apart.In mood, they seem alike - Elrond is no sullen child by any means but the realisation barrels into Maglor when the twins smile at him. The way Elrond smiles, as good-hearted as he seems, as if he’s baring his teeth and the smile doesn’t reach his feline-like eyes.A smile that he once saw in his younger brother who was all ferocious grins and furrowed brows - his younger brother who had hair that seemed to capture the white fire of stars.Not long after, when Maglor slams his hands on Maedhros’s desk and relays his concerns, the story seems to make so much sense. Celegorm’s attachment to the Princess of Doriath, the shocked look on their younger brother’s face when his eyes were glazed over with death and Dior Eluchíl lay bleeding just out of arm’s reach and the pure spirit that Elrond possesses - that scorching fire and the will to survive and to fight and to struggle against it all.And for the first time in 500 years, Maedhros loses his composure and swears.
