    Summary

    Major skewing of canon: we are operating under the assumption Melkor returned to Angband after his release and left again shortly thereafter, with Mairon at his side, to find some little (actually rather large, let’s be real) piece of land on a mountain to exclusively call their own. Some friends came with them. Treaties were signed, tentative peace was called, and here we are.

    Summary

    Yes, Fëanáro thought, I can do that. I can care for him.
    After all, he’s just like me.

    Summary

    “It's not your fault,” whispers a voice very like Tyelpë’s — but Tyelpë isn’t here. There is no succor left for Mairon; no refuge in this land of Men permitted only to stand at the gates of the world and gaze in longing toward its glory.

     

    In Númenor, Mairon longs for what he has lost. Tyelpë comes to find him.

    "Míriel has recovered herself," Indis said. "She has rested long and well in the Halls of Mandos, and misses now the craft of her hands, the light of the Trees—have I guessed right?"

    Summary

    Life in Fourth Age Valinor is good for Celebrimbor. He has his students, he has his projects, and if life is a little less exciting than it was in Middle-earth, that’s probably for the best, right? But when a series of events conspires to bring Sauron the Dark Lord back into all of their lives, he must decide if he will help him regain his memories or if some things are better left in the past.

    Summary

    He expects to open his eyes, metaphorically speaking, in the Halls of Mandos. That is where the dead go, after all, and after being killed by Morgoth he is indisputably dead. And after the unbearable weight and pain of the last few centuries, he finds himself almost looking forward to the supposed peace of it.

    He is therefore moderately bewildered when he finds himself awakening in Barad Eithel.

    Summary

    When Turgon dies in the Nirnaeth, Idril must fill the space of High King of the Noldor and Queen of Gondolin, even through her own grief and loneliness. An unexpected ally, however, appears in the form of Maeglin Lómion - her reclusive cousin who never left mourning for his own mother.

    Maeglin has been relying on the kindness of his uncle all these years, and with Turgon's death, he no longer knows how his presence will be tolerated. When Idril makes him a deal, that he acts as her heir and counselor until she has a child to replace him as heir, he has little choice but to accept. But the two of them are more alike than they are different, and they come to discover a deep partnership in ruling the city together.

    A story told in five pieces of royal regalia.

    Summary

    If he balanced the scales, with Celebrimbor on one side and the successful domination of Middle-Earth on the other - there was no way one elf could be enough.

    Was there?

    Summary

    When Hypnos has the chance to leave his Chthonic family, he takes it. 'They'll be alright, it's not like they'll miss me,' he thinks bitterly, oblivious to the panic occurring in the Underworld.

    ---

    "How can you lose a god?" exclaimed Thanatos, panicked. "All he does is sleep, surely it's not that hard to find him?"

    Nyx shook her head, expression mournful. "You forget he often played his game of hiding when you were both younger, my child. It could take days for him to reappear."

    "And it's already been days," sighed Zagreus, swiping a hand through his hair in agitation.

    Summary

    Manwë, King of the Valar and King of All Arda, can no longer endure the cruelties of his brother, Melkor. The Orcs have spread across Middle-earth, terrorizing Elves and Men. The Shadow of Melkor has grown, and his malice knows no end, or mercy. Manwë then begs Nienna, Lady of Sorrow, to persuade Melkor to give up his poisonous dream. For the history of Middle-earth has told of Melkor's wicked and evil deeds, and named him Morgoth. But the legends have not told of how the Dark Vala fell in love, from the Beginning of Time, with She Who Weeps.

    Summary

    In this modern (early 90s) AU Eönwë is a criminal psychologist and Mairon was a part of Melkors crime syndicate ever since he had run away from home at thirteen. His right hand (spoilers) and his bargaining chip in many cases. The two meet during the court proceedings. Neither would've thought they'd see each other ever again. However, the universe had other plans.

    This multi-chapter fic is the story of how things progressed from their second meeting. Expect some world building, mostly one-sided heavy imagining, some dark topics (warnings will be above each chapter, tags will be added along the way) being discussed and some psychological issues on the way. Oh, attempts at humour were also made.
