Summary
Ilya Rozanov wakes up in a future where he is openly bisexual and married. This would be great news, except for the part where moments ago he was in 2014 where he was many things: recent Stanley Cup champion, star of the Raiders, the sluttiest man in Boston, a Russian citizen with a father who is alive, and also absolutely, definitely, 100% not in love with Shane Hollander.
And why the hell is he wearing a Centaurs jersey?

Ilya Hollander-Rozanov wakes up in the past, and he really, really would like to go home to his husband.

Summary
Rebirth doesn't mean recovery for Tyelperinquar. After leaving Mandos, he pays a visit to Aule, hoping to find someone who might empathize with his pain. He's given a necklace - a necklace that holds the last vestiges of Sauron's soul. Overwhelmed and drowning in grief, he leaves to the abandoned northern forests of Aman, seeking shelter in solitude.
Unfortunately, no one can outrun their problems for long. After an incident with a few too many spiders, Sauron's soul escapes its confines and takes an unusual shape - that of a slightly feral amnesiac elfling.
__In which Tyelpe must decide what to do with his ex-turned-elfling.
It's not really about the goats.

Personal Rarepair Hell 50-Year-Old Fandom Edition by Littlewhitemouse

Summary
In fourth age Aman, a returned (in poor condition) Celebrimbor agrees to go to a beach party hosted by Finrod's weird grandfather (the King of Alqualonde) to get his mind off of the way his ex-husband (Sauron) is still hanging over his head (parked in his soul like a Ford F150 taking up four separate parking spots). He meets a man at that party, and there are so many people this man could be, some quite logical choices for shipping with Celebrimbor, except in this one, the man is Osse. You're welcome.

Summary
FINGON: Thou shouldst not know. It is not—should not be thy choice. Thy hands pick up the crown, pluck it as if from a tree; set it down upon the pate thou desirest to adorn or plant it as thou wilt for the fruits that thou wouldst see grow. No one here now is mistaken on the matter where it stands: the crown was never taken from thee. Discarded, it went back to thy hand, like a ripe apple fallen down. But I will not return it once given now. There will be no changing of position, shifting power and permission and command for pleasure or convenience. There will be no question about who is king. I will lead, and thou shalt follow.

Summary
"...[Fëanor] died; but he had neither burial nor tomb, for so fiery was his spirit that as it sped his body fell to ash, and was borne away like smoke; and his likeness has never again appeared in Arda, neither has his spirit left the halls of Mandos."
What if his spirit has never left the halls of Mandos because it never went there in the first place?
Fëanor, dead, watches the First Age unfold, and his children endure. A detailed account of Maedhros and Maglor's time on the Eastern Front of the War of Wrath, with Elrond and Elros growing up. [Thanks to pp for beta reading]Series

Summary
A series of stories about Elrond's return to Aman at the end of the Third Age. All these assume that Maglor son of Fëanor was one of the other unnamed Elves who accompanied Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Frodo and Bilbo on the ship when they left Middle-earth. Point of view is usually either Maglor or Elrond, but occasionally someone else (Celebrian, Lalwen, Nerdanel...)
The first story, And the wind as sweet as honey in the mouth, is about Maglor and Elrond meeting again in the Second Age, rather than in Aman, but fits with the overall series otherwise.
This series is connected with the Mandos series, about the experiences of Feanor, Fingolfin, Fingon, Curufin and Celegorm in the Halls of Mandos, but it can stand alone.
All are welcome to remix, translate or reinterpret these works as they like. They are not my characters!

Summary
Like Curufinwë, like Carnistir, she wore anger as a mask, under which Nerdanel could see a savage wound, still dripping fresh blood.
“They took my son,” Elwing said. “They as good as killed him, that day they chose to leave Sauron free. Just as they killed Celebrimbor, and Elros’s children, they killed Elrond too. And, having already hurt him so much, so many times, now they choose to keep him from life. For what? Because some king who knew no war thought he needed divine intervention to tell him whether or not he could fuck?”
-
In which Elwing discovers her son is interdicted under the Statute of Finwë and Míriel, and seeks both vengeance and assistance with the tool most immediately to hand.

Summary
"Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”
“No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.
Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”
