    Summary

    Maedhros regarded the dog at his feet. He had thoroughly finished with the food, and now looked up expectantly; he looked a little as if he wanted to go to sleep.

    How long would it take for this beast, too, to forget how to run? To learn safety and forget danger, and fall before his time?

    “This is not your place,” said Maedhros. “Go now, with thanks for your service — I will not forget it. But for me to repay you by turning you lapdog would do you no good. Go run with your fellows, and do not forget your strength!”

    When Maedhros wakes after his rescue from Angband, a dog he does not remember is patiently waiting at his side.

    Written for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2025, inspired by oatmealcraisin's art on slide #174!

    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

    “We must not devolve into such conflict as our cousins frequently tempt us to,” Finrod said. “And we must not assume that we have a great deal more time to waste. I learned that lesson when Melkor Bauglir strolled into Thingol’s dining room. But cheer among friends and allies will not harm anyone, Artanis. I understand if you have little taste for it, but it is not an evil.”

    Summary

    Maglor will never understand the horror of Thangorodrim, and Maedhros would never want him to.

    ***

    After rescue, Maedhros is healing in body, but not soul. Maglor worries.

    Summary

    Headaches and voices. The plight of a mystic, or a madman, or an invalid.

    History chooses at random, and sometimes makes a mockery of the same man by spinning him like an ill-turned top so that he spills over into all three.

    [Maedhros, after a dubious victory at Doriath, returns to Mithrim.]

    Summary

    Говорят, есть только два вида историй о спасении Маэдроса — про северный и про южный берег Митрима. Или не только? Ведь орел сам решает, куда ему приземляться… А остальным уже придется решать что-то в предложенных обстоятельствах.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of their tumultuous arrival in Beleriand, Maglor has scarcely managed to hold together the bruised and splintering House of Fëanor and their Sindarin allies.

    Then, the Sun's first rising brings with it Fingolfin’s host of Ice-hardened Noldor, hungry for retribution. With battered hearts and fraying minds, the two half-kings must navigate fragile relations among their own people even as they face the impossible task of reuniting the Noldor under a single leader.

    Summary

    Amras has become used to his twin's prolonged absences from the camp at Lake Mithrim. It is rare that his other brothers even notice. But this is the first time Amrod has disappeared since they have faced the threat of vengeance from Fingolfin's host on the opposite side of the lake.

    A companion piece to Who By Fire but can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    A Fëanorian hunter is seriously injured near the Nolofinwëan camp at Lake Mithrim. Though Fingolfin scarcely knew Fëanor's youngest sons, he at once recognises and is drawn to his nephew, whose presence offers him a semblance of closure to the irreparable relationship with his dead half-brother. After taking on the role of Amrod's healer himself, he discovers that their wounds, and their need for each other, run far deeper than he thought.

    Summary

    “Whereas Maedhros was cast in bronze, regal and hard, Maglor has ever been soft as clay. Maedhros has envied his pliant features, how easily he moulds himself to the desired mood. And now he makes himself innocent; he makes this not a blurring of lines that can never be redrawn but a triumphant thawing of bodies seized by cold for far too long.“


    Maedhros' decision to cede his claim to the High Kingship drives a rift between him and the brother who held the crown for him through his captivity. Through their reconciliation, Maedhros grapples with shame over the feelings that Maglor's devotion awakens in him, before he at last accepts the balm for loss and failure that Maglor offers.

    Summary

    "Nolofinwë looked up at him, and his gaze pierced him.  Kanafinwë read in his eyes all his anger and all his hurt, which he had nursed all these long years and which had kept him warm at night.  Perhaps he read confusion too: that he had come all this way to treat only with ghosts, for Fëanáro was dead, and their pact along with him.  Kanafinwë himself felt like a ghost, though he yet lived."

    [A family reunion in the poorest of circumstances]
