    Summary

    Companion story to The Works of Curufinwë. Here, I give a name to Curufin's wife, and speculate on what her relationship with Curufin may have been like.

    This is the story of Curufin's family, of the two people closest to his heart. His wife Tancaquárë, and his son Celebrimbor.
    For the sake of his great love for his father, Curufin tore apart what he treasured the most. He wounded them grievously, and crushed his own spirit in the process.

    Yet, despite everything, this little family's love endures.

    Summary

    Finrod helps guide the newly Reborn from Mandos in Estë’s gardens, seeking peace he can't find for himself. Then Curufin returns: his betrayer, his once-love, placed in Finrod’s care.

    Or in which Curufin and Finrod overcome generational trauma, and the consequences of oaths. Wasn't Healing supposed to be gentle?

    Summary

    Curufin's dearest wish is to follow in his father's footsteps and create great things just like him. However... things happen. And in contrast to the brilliance of his father's Silmarils, the works of the younger Curufinwë seem destined to fall into obscurity.

    Join Curufin and his son Celebrimbor as they make their way across the pages of their history, with all its toil, anguish, violence, treachery, and great love despite everything.

    Very closely based on the published Silmarillion (I even include character dialogue from the book, when it exists). This is essentially my interpretation of what happened to Curufin and Celebrimbor 'between the lines' of the story. And the main theme is their 'works', or the things they make.

    Summary

    Rebirth doesn't mean recovery for Tyelperinquar. After leaving Mandos, he pays a visit to Aule, hoping to find someone who might empathize with his pain. He's given a necklace - a necklace that holds the last vestiges of Sauron's soul. Overwhelmed and drowning in grief, he leaves to the abandoned northern forests of Aman, seeking shelter in solitude.

    Unfortunately, no one can outrun their problems for long. After an incident with a few too many spiders, Sauron's soul escapes its confines and takes an unusual shape - that of a slightly feral amnesiac elfling.
    __

    In which Tyelpe must decide what to do with his ex-turned-elfling.

    It's not really about the goats.

    Summary

    “It’s of no matter,” Curufin says flatly. Here they are, still, in the palatial rooms that Finrod had given them, Tyelkormo pacing with Huan at his heel, yet even Huan gives a doubtful look at this.

    “No matter?” Celebrimbor says. “How many days is it since you dared to walk among them? They stir against you! Your fine words have failed—only Orodredth is keeping them from storming these halls, and that not much longer."

    Summary

    For all Tolkien's changes to his family trees, one thing remains the same - Fëanor is the only son of Finwë without a daughter.

    What if that changed?

    Meet Lórefindë Nartissë - she's a linguist, the baby of a very big family, possessed of an unfortunate temper, and has a tendency to start fights (then gleefully watch her brothers finish them).

    She's also recently been married to Oropher, great-nephew of Thingol through his father Galadhon. Or, rather, eloped with him.

    Without the consent of either of their families, but that's irrelevant, and also kind of how elopement works anyway. By this point they're all grudgingly getting along because there's no way to undo a marriage between two elves who want to stay married.

    The point is, Oropher now has to keep straight all of his wife's family. He never had any problems like this before - his own family consists of less than a dozen people, while the Finwëans are notoriously...numerous.

    Here is a glimpse into one attempt at this.

    Summary

    It is not only laughter, beyond the walls of the smithy. It is cheering. It is a perfect torrent of clamoring sound, and there—there is Huan baying wildly—there is the whinny of a horse, and there, a cry that might be a name—

    [Curufin learns of Maedhros' return, and something more than that.]
