    Summary

    What was it like, living life as an Orc in Angband? Did Orcs develop their own culture and traditions? And how did events like the War of Wrath affect them on a personal level?

    This is the story of Yellik and Uzgîl, two sisters who work in Mairon's household, as they navigate the end and aftermath of the First Age, build and rebuild their lives and try to hold on to their culture, traditions and identity in a strange new land.

    Art by Celebbun, fic by cilil. Heed the tags and warnings.

    Summary

    The former thralls of Angband have a sign language that they use to recognize one another, when words fail or when they want their recognition private. Maeglin knows the signs well by now, but feels guilty when he uses them, even now in Valinor.

    That is, until he runs into Caundis, whom he knew as the orc healer Uglúrz, and has no other way to express what he means to her.
