WOW! Where to start... Just spent my entire day in bed with my iPad in front of my face reading 'Fallen'. My mind just can't deal with all the feels... I didn't want it to end!

I'm just going to say it now, your story is the BEST I have ever read and that's saying something! Talent just bleeds through your writing and i'm in awe!

I read 'Fallen' on AO3 and when I finished I desperately tried to find the 'sequel' mentioned, then I came upon this gem and I cried tears of joy!

I love where you are going with this and I can't wait for the next chapter! 

Thank you for writing such a beautiful fic, me thinks I will read your other fics now!

What a start! I am biting my nails...
A dense and ominous atmosphere, a place without time or distance... Seems to be a liminal place where an important transformation is about to take place.  And I quess it would be Sauron the one to face the hardest part of this transformation.  
This chapter is amazing, as it`s amazing how you are forging with your words a story full of darkness and beauty.  Cause there is beauty on it as there is light in the darkness!  
After reading these paragraph: 
"...I will make a mirror just for you. You may gaze in it to your heart's content, for as long as you wish, aware that it is too late to change anything"   I definitely fell under Melkor`s spell.

I will be waiting for the next chapter.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us! : )

There is a terrible beauty in this chapter. I think perhaps Sauron touched on the most important thing in the very beginning, when he realises Maglor must know him as intimately as he knows Maglor, and he had given more of himself to Maglor than he would willingly have done had he thought about it. It is, of course, very much the same for Sauron and his Master. Melkor might know Sauron with the same intimacy, but Sauron also knows much about Melkor.

The inclusion of the interlude between Sauron and Melkor was most effective, and as chilling as it was the first time. Somehow, the description of Melkor's first physical form was even more profoundly frightening, perhaps because it highlights Sauron's awareness of the effect Maglor's true appearance would have on his slave. He fears, perhaps rightly, Maglor's light would fade if he knew just how ruined he is. 

But really, when Melkor chooses to reveal himself, it grows dark indeed. I cannot imagine how terrifying it was for Maglor to hear Sauron admit fear. It is simply inconceivable, I would think, how the object of Maglor's terror could be afraid himself. And then, of course, there is Sauron's trademark cruelty:

"Maglor turned his head blindly towards the sound of his Master's voice, and he could not remember every cruelty he had endured under the shadow of Sauron's hand; that was impossible. Only enough to understand that the immensity of his suffering had forged something, even if that was only an expression of possessive intent."

Utterly chilling, that. At least until one reads the final paragraph...

As I said, terrible and beautiful, and yes, very frightening indeed. Brava!

Such an interesting and intriguing start!

Yesterday, I read your other story, "Fallen", in order to know the ropes about Sauron/Maglor' s relationship and now I am eager to read this new story of yours.
Fallen has a brilliant plot and its characters are amazing.  The relationship between Sauron and Maglor is twisted, but there is a special kind of beauty on it, I guess there is even love between them. Chapter 24 is glorious!

Thank you for sharing your stories!

It's always hard to believe anything could be worse than eternity as Sauron's slave, but I imagine Maglor is not at all eager to find out. And I find I have to agree with him. Anything that makes Sauron afriad would be too terrifying to contemplate.

Their games have a new twist, though, don't they? Sauron will need Maglor now, as much as Maglor needs Sauron. How very intriguing this is, and I'm absolutely on the edge of my seat to see what you have in store.
