Summary
Elrond has just found the valley for his new home, built a little house, and is now making plans for a new Imladris, for there are more tired souls in Valinor than he thought, but a stranger comes one day when he is alone, and wants a story.
Outside in the little garden of Elrond´s new home in one of the valleys of Valinor sat an Elda, with sun kissed skin of the Noldor, deep brown hair, also of the Noldor, braided in two braids, which was not the costume of the Noldor. A clasp of gold held both braids closed where they were lying beside him on the bench. He wore grey, the mourning colour of the Elda, and no jewelry, which was very unbecoming of a Noldor. As he came closer after closing his door, he could see that small braids were woven into the Elda´s hair, although some still were loose, so he was right. He was an Elda and not an Avari.

Sure having awkward hot dreams about your Best friend was normal right?
Being the second twin was not what Elrohir thought it would be cracked up to, struggling with darkness, self doubt, shame and misunderstandings will his family see before its too late .

Summary
Maitimo knows he is not in his own bed even before he is fully awake. He is cold, freezing cold, as no elf in Aman could ever be. It doesn’t get cold in blessed Valinórë and yet Maitimo shivers, reaching out for a blanket that is not there. His right forearm hits hard, icy stone. His right hand hits nothing.
In a far too soft bed, under the pure golden light of Laurelin in a Tirion of many years ago, Maedhros opens his eyes. He digs his right hand into the folds of unfamiliar bedsheets, and knows immediately that something is wrong.
---------------
Maitimo in Amon Ereb in a Beleriand that he does not yet know must figure out how to get back to his own body while trying to understand the horror that his future self has become.
Maedhros in an Aman he thought long dead rushes to fix the mistakes that ended up dooming his line and costing him nearly everyone he ever loved.
The thing is, Maedhros might not actually want to get back to his own body in his own time at all...Bookmarked by Real_Midas

Summary
Frodo is trapped between a ring and a knife. He chooses the knife, then is forced to choose the ring. The Ring is an entity, built to torment the Ringbearer and feed off of his suffering. Frodo's anxieties and fears mix with the blood gold of the Ring, leading him to fantasies that soon turn to torment. Blood is not enough. Blood alone is not ever enough.
This Halloween one-shot was made possible by mental illness and a lovely walk on which I thought of the idea.

Summary
All Bilbo Baggins wanted was to have have a decent job while he worked on getting his graduate degree in psychology. Moria Asylum seemed like the best place for that-until he met Thorin Oakenshield, an erratic and violent schizophrenic, who only seems to obey Bilbo for whatever reason and claims to be in love with him. Bilbo isn't finding Thorin's attraction toward him romantic whatsoever. However, uncovering a conspiracy to keep Thorin locked away to bury a disturbing truth about the head psychologist forces Bilbo to take action against Moria Asylum.
Based on this prompt from tumblr: “Thorin Oakenshield was an esteemed businessman who thought he avoided the strain of madness that ran through his family until delusion and paranoia forced him into psychiatric care. He becomes singularly obsessed with an orderly named Bilbo Baggins, claiming the man is his Arkenstone. Thorin will go to any length to possess Bilbo, because if he cannot then no one can.”

Summary
Decades of torment in Angband has made Maedhros scarred and weary, and Sauron far more attached than he intended. No amount of torture can bring him the tenderness of a true lover. Fortunately, being a form-changing maia has its perks and, in the blurred reality of delirium, Maedhros is simply glad to see "Fingon."
Fingon/Maedhros's relationship (Russingon) is pivotal to the plot, but the real Fingon does not appear in this.
So far only one chapter is up. Past events are alluded to, but there is no blood or assault on screen currently. I will update content tags/warnings accordingly. I have not decided the full direction this fic will take. This is horror in tone, not soft or romantic.
This takes place in the same context as my ongoing fic "Unfavorable Encounters," where Sauron puts Maedhros through... a lot. You do not need to read to read the other, but their lore overlaps.

Summary
He does not know where he is. He does not know when he is. He is standing in my garden at midnight covered in the blood of six murdered piglets, calling for a dead man and a dead war, and any hour of any day he might wake believing himself back in that camp, believing anyone near him is his enemy or his brother's enemy — what is there in a mind like that to trust? What is there in a mind like that to be certain will not, some morning, mistake one of my own children for a threat out of some war two ages gone?

Summary
Maglor lives alone, nameless, on Valinor's icy northern shores, until he finds an injured elf wandering the surf, whom he takes in. The recently re-embodied Maeglin is incredibly grateful to his rescuer and takes it upon himself to bully him into some semblance of functionality, with mixed results. Both probably need therapy.
Now features: Labor unions, Elrond manipulating the ever-loving shit out of Glorfindel, and shinies. Future plans: Erestor riding to war against Pengolodh with pen in hand, and Melian showing up unannounced with a plate of cookies to grandmother everyone involved.
Title provisionary; suggestions welcome.

Thranduil, who has already lost everyone else, won't take 'Legolas is gone' for an answer. Elrond has secrets he cannot tell. And Frodo's thoughts blend with the memories of the Ring Bearers and Sauron himself, as reality itself starts to fall apart to him.

Notes on the Care of the Tormented, ed. Elrond Half-elven by TheChasm
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
17 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
The library at Amon Ereb was nothing to marvel at, but it was there, in the uneasy days of my youth, that I first came across these notes. They had been written by Maglor son of Fëanor at varying points over the course of the First Age, and were altogether a rather disorganised collection; but I found myself drawn to them the very first time I read them, for the care that had been taken in their composition, and in their preservation through defeat after defeat and flight after flight. Maglor was no healer, certainly not by the time I knew him: his hands had been bloodied too many times for that gift to have lingered, if ever he had it. But all the same, he paid great attention to the care of Maedhros his brother — there was no other Maedhros would permit to touch him, or speak to him when he had an episode.
-
Over the course of the First Age, Maglor kept a series of notes on the care of his brother. Millennia later, Elrond transcribes them.

Summary
This is what happens to a man who is dead: Those left alive cut his body open, to see what was wrong inside him. In secret, he is pulled apart. They mourn him, and they bind him, and they bury him, deep beneath the earth. Maedhros has seen that once before, the total black of the grave, wet and stifling and cold. That is where they lowered Grandfather Finwe’s body, after he was dead.
Maedhros is dead too, but all out of order.
