THE RANDOM FACTS MEME
1! Post with your character(s) and share some random facts about them. Headcanon, canon, whatever.
2! Respond to other people's characters responding to said random facts or asking them questions about things you want to know about them! Ask about their childhood, their favorite book, preferred brand of underwear...
3! Answer the questions people ask! You could just answer it normally, or you could also go into ridiculous detail, or write a drabble or something! You could illustrate how they got that scar in MS Paint! Just answer the questions okay.
4! ????
5! Profit!

Well, in Gora he'd wish to be returned to his own time, place and world exactly as he left it. But otherwise...
His first impulse would be to wish that Morgoth had never been released again, because that is probably the main source of everything horrible that happens later. However, Maglor is not all that impulsive, so he would bite his tongue and sit and ponder this, because if he wished for that, and if therefore his grandfather was never killed, the Silmarils were never stolen, and his people never rebelled and headed back to Middle Earth and partook of all the kinslaying business and whatnot, then at the same time, there would probably be no sun and no moon, and he never would have gone to Middle Earth. And for all the blood that has been spilled on its soil, and despite everything he's lost there, he truly has grown to deeply love the place. It's sort of -- seeped into his soul, so to speak. And he also very much loves his two adopted sons, and although he is aware that it is selfish of him, he doesn't want to give them up. Also, if not for lots of events in all of this chaos, Elrond and Elros wouldn't even exist, so...
After lots of thought, he'd probably wish for smaller things, because he'd be terribly worried that if he wished for large, extremely history-changing things, there would be horrible unintended consequences that would make things somehow worse than they are. He doesn't think he's wise enough to make drastic chnages like that.
1. That he and his elder brother could be released from their oath to retrieve the Silmarils. Given a few things in canon, I take it that the oath is more than just words and is very much binding - a la, say, the -- was it called a wizard's oath? That Narcissa had Snape swear in the beginning of the 6th Harry Potter book. Anyway, Maglor would wish that he and his brother would be released from that.
2. He would wish that all those he and his family and their followers did harm to could be at the very least at peace. That whatever pain they carried with them because of his and his family's actions could be eased.
3. That the pain and guilt and so on of his brother and their followers, too, could be released and eased.
... he has more personal wishes that he'd ask for if forced to only wish for things pertaining directly to himself, but he feels that wishing for anything that just would be for his own gain is an irresponsible use of such power, when he has other people he needs to look after.
