Re: Pairings
Melkor/Mairon: I like it because I like the idea of villains having romantic relationships. And because something about these two makes every single version of them interesting to pair. There are so many different fic versions and I have not found a single version that I didn't find interesting. I don't know, just something about these two speaks to me.
Annatar/Celebrimbor: I like it because it is creepy. There is always a level of dubcon to even the most seemingly romantic fic. I like the idea of Sauron's seduction of Tyelpe being literal. I also like the idea of them being science bros together. And I like angst. I like the juxtaposition of hot sex and an apparent relationship with then how things turn out later.
Maedhros/Fingon: Romantic yet with a slight edge because of their familial relationship and their history together. Something about this relationship just works. Fingon's rescue of Maedhros just gives me so many feelings. And it makes Fingon's death even more tragic, which I like.
Beren/Luthien: I've actually gotten way more into them lately. I love how badass she is, how she's the stronger of the two. They are as close to romantic as the Silmarillion gets and yet their relationship is still filled with tragedy and horror. And it occurred to me that their first scene, the one that totally focuses on just her beauty, is from Beren's point of view. And he's seen so much horror and death and pain in his life and this is the first time he's seen beauty that isn't touched by that horror. So it totally makes sense. And this realization has made me fall in love with the pairing more than before.
Newest ship:
Celebrimbor/Finrod: I don't even know. I discovered a single fic and haven't been able to get it out of my head. They were both tortured to death by Sauron, so I like the idea of them bonding and healing together in Valinor. I don't know. It works for me.
Re: Pairings
(Anonymous) 2015-08-08 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)I find, for the Valar, the characters I like to ship are Ulmo and Mandos. I switch up who I ship Mandos with but I find the idea of exploring him as a romantic partner to be interesting. IMO Ulmo belongs with Tuor or Cirdan, but I have a very strong OTP with Tuor/Voronwe. The strongest OTPs I have for the Valar are Ingwe/Manwe and Aule/Mahtan.
My OTPs for the ones you listed are Celebrimbor/Narvi, Beren/Thingol, and Finrod/Barahir. I'm afraid Maedhros/Fingon is a NOTP for me, one of the few. I was big into Maedhros/Maglor for awhile, and I like Maedhros/Bor or Maedhros/Amlach. I have just a ton of ships in Tolkien.
Re: Pairings
I like the Celebrimbor and Narvi friendship a lot. I love elf and dwarf friendships. I'm not sure if I ship it or not, but I do love them.
I can't do Maedhros/Maglor because I can't do sibling incest most of the time. I do love their brother relationship though.
I totally love Finrod/Barahir. Actually I probably love Finrod/nearly everyone. I have this headcanon where he's fairly pansexual and completely up for having a good time with whoever.
I don't think I've ever actually ship any of the other valar. I'm not entirely interested in them. Mandos and Manwe are probably my two favorites, though.
I could probably read a whole lot of pairings for this fandom though. I only have some active ships, but I just tend to love exploring this world. I only have a very few Notps (and only one big one, Mairon/Aule).
