    Holding Out For A Hero (but you get a kinslayer instead) by

    Summary

    After multiple millennia and much healing in the Halls of Mandos, Maitimo was ready to be reborn and finally live in peace with his family and his beloved husband. However, when the Valar announce that they will be giving one of them a chance to go back and help take down Sauron once and for all, he offers himself for the quest. Not only does he have the highest chances of not being recognised -now that he has the right hröa, that is- but he has a younger brother to find and drag back home to their family, as well as a son to apologise to.

    Sauron never really stood a chance.

    Summary

    Never have I ever written an ABO story, until now.

    The usual suspects in a different setting but still having family dynamics from hell and so many grievances. Also, everybody is even younger and more confused than the last time. It is still Arda in spirit and custom but geographically it is more like Earthsea.

    Like I feared, this turned out to be a somewhat epic endeavor, with a bunch of children craving attention, mysteries, agricultural problems, battles of different kinds, dreams, omens and portents, Dwarrow, fertility rituals, good and evil Valar and me being unexpectedly lenient towards Kings Thingol and Ingwë. And of course there are dragons, too.

    There probably should be more sex, and less meetings, but there is a war to be waged and people to be saved, so busy parents have to take what they can get.

    So, Prince Fëanáro is returning to the Isle of Tirion from a bout of island hopping....

    Archive warnings apply to chapter 39.

    Summary

    ”Many evils we are threatened with, but no cravens are we!” said Fëanor, on the shores of barren Araman. “Grief, I already know, and I fear no weapons nor weariness! I fear no torment nor treason! Indeed, walk with me, Nolofinwë, my recently-sworn brother, and let us take counsel together on how best to take our people across these empty lands ahead of us.”
    Mandos blinked.
    Fingolfin blinked.

     

    (Or: au in which spite drives Fëanor to make…GOOD choices?)

    Summary

    Celegorm threw his hands up, heedless of the jolt of pain all through his side. “They’ll imprint on thee! Thou’st caught them too late; they’ll be neither wild nor tame — I’d not let thee do it to a fox and I’ll not let thee do it with them. It’s against all laws of nature; what art thou thinking —”

    “So!” Maedhros interrupted, temper finally showing in his face and his voice. “Raise them thyself, since thou know’st so much of the matter.”

    “Maybe I will,” Celegorm snapped back, and then the sound of his own words caught up with him and he balked, wrongfooted.

    The Sack of Doriath ended with the flight of Elwing, the loss of a Silmaril, the deaths of Dior and Nimloth and Caranthir and Curufin — and the fostering of Dior’s young sons in a Fëanorian hunting-camp, to the satisfaction of absolutely no one at all.

    Summary

    Just before Turgon and his ten thousand spears ride out to the battle that would have otherwise been the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, Maeglin Lomion wakes with memories of another life – a life in which he was called Harry Potter and, though his parents were just as dead, he had some friends to give him good advice. This changes things.

    Updates probably very irregular.

    Summary

    Fëanor was given a second chance.

    Sent years and years before he even started working on the Silmarils, he tried to fix everything and devised in his mind the most genius of plans.

    Step 1: Make sure his kids know he values them more than a stupid jewel (even if that jewel is his magnum opus), so they don't ruin their lives over them.

    Step 2: The kids are suspicious and call for Finwë to come to the rescue.

    You can't face your father yet, so change of plans.

    Step 1 (again): Remember every horrible thing that happened to you and your family and wallow in how big of a failure you are. Everyone is better off without you.

    Or:

    Fëanor is sent back away from the consequences of his actions, but not his trauma. Now, everyone is panicked, thinking he is fading.

    Fëanor is too busy wallowing in self-pity and misery to notice that he is giving everyone a fright.

    Or:

    Spending years helpless in the Halls of Mandos, watching everything go wrong, affected Fëanor more than he would like to admit.

    "The point is that Maglor takes in the twins because Maedhros had been too foolish in that moment to counter his brother with any tenacity. Maglor had seemed cast in a beautiful resolve; amid the wreckage they had wrought, his brother looked almost like he could love being shackled to this bruised and muted life lived with Maedhros."

    Two unreliable narrators in purgatory narrate how they come to find, and then leave, Elrond and Elros.

    “Thanks verily, but I think I shall pass,” said Maglor the Mighty. “A bit too gauche for my tastes, but by all means, do not allow that to stop you. Go on, do not linger for my sake. Throw yourself into the magma. Just leave me here to get celestial sepsis and be damned and maddened and repudiated, why don’t you.”

    “I fear you are not taking this very seriously, brother,” said Maedhros, very grimly.
