    Summary

    In the war-wrecked ruins of a mighty city of the Dwarves, letters, notes and torn-out pages blow on the wind. If you were the wind, you could read them through, and learn a little of the people who lived or visited here, those who set out from here to new places, and their hopes and plans.

    Summary

    When Fëanor spoke again, he was softer. “Did you see it, Nolvo? Like a new star crossing the sky. They’ve beaten us, and good. Boy, I’d love to get my hands on the tech in their cosmodrome, wouldn’t you? Maybe I’ll call up—”

    This time, it was Nerdanel who interrupted, her voice a warning. Maedhros couldn’t quite make out the words, but her meaning was clear: Shut up, smarty-pants!

    “Of course,” Fëanor returned to the phone, reverting to his clear, didactic tone, “I’m exaggerating for effect, as I’m known to. I would never defect or betray my country…. No, Professor, you won’t. I’m afraid you’ll need to handle this one yourselves. I will not be bought, and I’ll be much obliged if you don’t call with such offers again.”

    The Space Race begins when Doriath launches the world's first artificial satellite. Fëanor, a renowned astrophysicist of Aman, becomes obsessed with the potential of radio astronomy to contact the far reaches of the universe. Maedhros grows up and takes on his father's cause. Years later, a message is received.

    Icy hearts and stormy eyes: interwoven by

    Fandom: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

    06 Oct 2025

    Summary

    Lissenor Nolofinwion is not what others expect when they hear the son of fingon. Or when they hear Noldor Prince.

    He’s small, quiet and ever watchful. He’s pretty, fragile of body, he’s not bold and reckless like his father— and for one Ereinion Finarfinwion, he’s far more than he can handle.

    Ereinion has no idea what to do with his small, scarily pretty icy prince who throws sarcasm and barbs at people like it’s his personal duty.

    Fall in love is what he’s going to do, whether he likes it or not. His heart is set on the one noldor omega who as more alpha suitors sniffing around than a fox den has hounds.

    He is so screwed.

    Summary

    It was on his way back from the stables that another scent caught his attention over all the rest. He noticed it before he actually spotted the source. It made Gil-Galad grit his teeth. Sickly sweet and overpowering: pain and fear.
    He stopped in the courtyard, craning his neck, then pinpointed it: a little heap on the muddy cobbles, more meat than person. Skinny brown limbs tangled up like they’d been dumped there and hadn’t had the energy to rearrange. Vulnerable. Terrified. Not-quite-mannish…? That was a puzzle.
    Gil-Galad’s nose wrinkled. He stalked across the courtyard for a better look.

     

    That was when he noticed the shape of the ears peeking out from the boy’s black, tangled hair. 

     

    Gil-Galad and Galadriel get caught out in a storm after a skirmish during the War of Wrath and decide to take shelter in the nearest sketchy edain border town, where they stumble across someone in need of rescuing.

    (Basically, we're taking the "when did we first meet?" "Seaside...you gave me water." tidbit from the show finale in the WORST possible direction.)

    Summary

    He came from the north over the green plains of Ard-galen and stained them black, the wretched spawn of Morgoth himself, terrible and golden.

    He came first not into the western lands of Beleriand, where with his evil eyes he had spied the armies of the enemy, but slid like a worm into the east, between the looming peaks of the Ered Luin and the rolling hills of the March of Maedhros.

    He came to Maglor’s Gap.

    Summary

    Fingon smiled. “If I confessed to how often I thought about bedding you, you would accuse me of intemperance.”

    This was true, thought Fingon disliked being facetious. He shifted foot to foot. If he thought too long about last night, and bringing Maedhros to heel by force, it brought on a queasy, intoxicating hunger.

    (Maedhros is healed in Mithrim, and Fingon discovers they share some new inclinations)

    Summary

    Perhaps the strangest thing in his grandson’s war camp was Gwindor.

    The former thrall of Angband, missing both a pinky and an eye, was the first thing anyone noticed when they approached the young High King. He stood at Gil-Galad’s right hand, the head of the king’s personal guard, a presence as steady as the steel at his hip. There was nothing ceremonial in the way he carried himself, no courtly bow, no polished armor. He looked like a man who had walked through fire and come out the other side knowing exactly how much of him the flames had taken.

    Summary

    Anna knows something strange is going on when she starts having odd dreams of a far too detailed city, far too often. They are important, part of her acknowledges that, but really, she was never expecting for them to become her reality. Stranded in a time far too different to what she remembers, Anna struggles against her elusive memories of her name, the actions she took in the past, and her rather unfortunate luck.

    Otherwise known as:

    The traditional modern-girl-in-middle-earth, with a slight twist.

    Summary

    Maedhros comes riding into Hithlum on a fine spring afternoon, and Fingon is there to meet him. The months that separated them have only increased Maedhros’ heartsickness, and he cherishes Fingon’s presence.

    There should be no reason for Fingon to make a move on him, but he does, and when Fingon kisses him, Maedhros’ world changes in a split second. They talk, and they bask in one another’s presence. Things are better than ever. Unfortunately, fate decides to throw a wrench in the middle of their innocent reunion.
    *

    Fingon’s eyes were curious, dark and beautiful as ever. Maedhros tilted his head. Fingon paused, hesitating, and came closer. His eyes fluttered closed. Maedhros broached the distance between them.
