Summary
“I stood there for a long time after Celebrían’s ship sailed, smiling slightly at the vast sway of the sea before me, rocking me to sleep as it swallowed my world whole. I thought, inexplicably, of my father Maedhros — his sea-serpent eyes, his shipwreck eyes. Pitch-black and lonely, as wide and fathomless as the sea. It felt almost serene, standing there, like despairing was just another word for living and that I could get used to it, like my father had done before me.”
_____Elrond, Maedhros, Estel: a strange, cyclical story of fathers and sons, from an old sea-serpent washing up on the shores of Sirion, to a quiet moment by a duckpond in Imladris.

Summary
"It started because of how Celebrían ate her boiled egg. It’s curious how little things — like the way a boiled egg peels — can stir memories without warning. No grand gesture, no significant event, just a well peeled egg swallowed whole and suddenly it is like Fingon is there again, laughing before Maedhros' eyes. Fingon had known a trick to make the whole shell of a boiled egg come off in one, the inner layer peeling off like a second skin clinging tightly to the life it held. He’s never seen Fingon swallow an egg whole and somehow the knowledge makes Maedhros feel rather bereft. Like there's a lifetime of egg-swallowing now lost to them."
_____
When Elladan, Elrohir, Maglor and a grieving Elrond sail to Valinor at the end of the Ring War, they (and Bilbo Baggins) are met by Celebrían and Maedhros, who immediately whisk them off on a journey across the surreal, ever-changing landscapes of Valinor on foot. The destination? The Halls of Mandos, where Fingon's re-embodiment has been inexplicably and indefinitely delayed.Bookmarked by Emerald_Alchemist

Summary
Thanks to a mishap from baby Arwen and her brothers, all the great-grandchildren of Finwë find themselves in Aman, long before the Darkening. Nearly all of them decide, within minutes, to usurp the High King.
However, with everyone's schemes working at cross-purposes and their own family around to recognize them, the princesses and princes of the royal house may have a harder time preventing the strife of the future than they'd hoped. It certainly doesn't help that Elrond isn't even trying to hide that they're from the future!

Summary
Both Maedhros and Odysseus live in worlds born of song, though only Maedhros is aware of it.
Both Maedhros and Odysseus are standing in the wreckage of the cities they've burned, facing the fact they may be responsible for the deaths of children they'd give anything to save.
For just a moment, the songs of their worlds are nearly identical, and something - shifts.
(Or: One moment, Maedhros is in the woods of Doriath. The next moment, he finds himself in Troy.)
