    Summary

    Hemlock Potter, reborn as Himiel, navigates her new life in the realm of Arvernien alongside her brothers, Elrond and Elros. Following their mother Elwing's transformation into a bird and flight with the Silmaril, the siblings are captured by the Sons of Fëanor, Maedhros and Maglor, who decide to foster them instead of abandoning them. As they grow, Himiel trains in combat and music, honing her skills and forging a bond with Maedhros, who gradually softens his stern demeanour towards her.

    Summary

    Her position wouldn’t have existed before the breaking of the Two Trees. She isn't old enough to remember it, born here in Beleriand, but she’d heard enough about it. Elves traditionally do not love lightly, only desiring their husband or wife, the partner of their soul, for as long as they and Arda remain.

    But neither do Elves traditionally kill their kin, or fight a desperate, unceasing war that nobody can imagine how to win. Nor should they sacrifice themselves in single combat with Morgoth, or become thralls to Angband, or…

    Here, it is different. There are enough broken people, husbands or wives dead, whole families dead, who haven’t had a place to leave their grief or a kind or intimate touch sometimes in centuries. She couldn’t do much, couldn’t fix the tragedies they were ensnared in, but she could give comfort, or pleasure, and when she could, in a world without much of either, she was proud to.

     

    Sex workers probably aren't very Tolkien, but neither are lots of things that the Elves did in Beleriand, so it got me thinking. What if?

    Summary

    Himring is probably the coldest place that Maeglin has ever been.

    He tries to put away that thought, and not to shiver very visibly as he glances up through his lashes at Maedhros Fëanorion. Terrible and fell, his father had always said were the sons of Fëanor, and Maeglin can believe it. Of course, his mother’s stories had been different. But they had been few and far between.

    Above, Maedhros shifts forwards in his high seat with a slight rustling of heavy robes, and Maeglin trembles involuntarily. Out of the cold, he promises himself. Only the cold.

    “You wish to leave Gondolin,” rasps the lord of Himring, with no small amount of incredulity in his voice. “To come here?”

    Summary

    “I hardly believed it,” said Maedhros. “What are you doing here?”

    "I bring a message from my father."

    Maedhros blinked. "Really?"

    Fingon grinned. "I believe his exact words were: you're visiting who, well if you must you must, say something suitable, something something friendship something something kinsmen, tell him good job keeping my brother's sons out of trouble, I'd rather wrestle another ice bear myself – but don't say it like that!"
    _

    Fingon goes to visit Maedhros, accidentally arrives during a Fëanorion family reunion, and quickly regrets many (but not all) of his life choices.

    Summary

    Maedhros saga, with main focus on Maedhros' life in Beleriand but spanning all the way from the Time of the Trees almost to the end of Arda.
    The series is Maedhros/Fingon and the development of their relationship is one of the main interests of the saga, but other stories in the series look at Maedhros's interactions with his brothers, uncles, cousins, friends--basically whoever he is known or can be assumed to have interacted with.
    The series spans different genres and the stories can differ widely in mood, rating, etc.

    “The cloak suited you once.”

    “How munificent that word is. It ‘endured’ me, perhaps, so long as it could busy itself swallowing me whole.”

    Summary

    Early in the Second Age, Elrond is a loremaster-in-training (self-taught, but not any less well-taught for that, thank you) in Gil-galad’s court. He does not speak of his past, and does not take to inquiries with good grace. But when he receives an assignment that will take him to one of the few remnants of the drowned lands of his childhood, he finds that his past is not so easily ignored as all that. Gil-galad’s choice of traveling companion for him does not help matters. At all.

    Summary

    Maedhros son of Fëanor aids in the rescue of a thrall child, a boy with bright eyes like shining little stars.

    The Peredhel twins recognise something in High King Gil-Galad: a particular left-handed style to his swordfighting, a sharp tactical mind, a suppressed Fëanorian accent.

    A fiery spirit in the Halls of Mandos greets a stranger as a grandson.

    And in Valinor, Fingolfin son of Finwë finds that the imposter prince who had claimed descent from Fingon resembles his brother far more than his son...

    Summary

    Three graduate students of the University of Arnor at Lindon are bored. So very, very bored. Of course they decide to take a boat out to Tol Himling to see if they can find anything interesting, despite the fact that any researcher to have set foot on the island has been recorded as having a mental breakdown and never returning.

    They weren't exactly expecting to be able to explore it, but they certainly didn't expect what they found there.

    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

    The impossible happened: a Silmaril has been stolen from Morgoth’s crown. Maedhros decides to reunite the People of Beleriand against the Enemy and attack him while he is still unprepared, which is by no means less impossible. Meanwhile, in the hidden city of Gondolin, Lord Glorfindel of the Golden Flower pursues the meaning of his recurring dreams – only to realize that he is not the only one to see them...

    || A novel-length canon gapfiller on the Union of Maedhros, the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and the downfall of the Sons of Feanor; plus my take on what could have been going on in Gondolin between the Bragollach and the Nirnaeth. ||
