    Summary

    So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
    It softens his temper a mite; binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.

    So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest at the Lammoth, and receives due weregild.
    Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he shall parley. Under his cool, however, he seethes hungry and ambitious.

    Can they strike a healthy co-existence? Doubtful, given their past and dispositions. But they can try.

    Meanwhile, on the great game's board move a thousand pieces: Thingol negotiates, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien battles the very weaves of fate. Can a less fractured Beleriand stand against Morgoth?

    --
    [Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.]

    Summary

    What it says. Short fics in no particular order, set after the events of "The Lord of the Rings", during the reign of Arwen and Aragorn. They do tell a more or less coherent story, taken as a whole.

    Summary

    Eöl was the original dark elf and so Maeglin can't recover in the Halls of Mandos, Aredhel can't leave the Halls without her son, and Turgon suffers of a broken family for three bloody ages. Tired of waiting for his beloved sister, Turgon has rallied the Finwëans and Fëanorians against Námo in a war of petition attrition. Námo seems to be throwing up his hands, so maybe let the elves handle their own... except Maeglin doesn't want any of it.

    Summary

    Tata was said to be the first of the Noldor to awaken at Cuivienen, yet the histories never speak of him again. Uncomfortable and indecisive as a leader, he nonetheless rejects the summons of the Valar to Valinor, recognizing a fundamental wrong in the ideas they preach. This is the story of his life.
