    Summary

    Why do so many in this fandom have such a fascination with Feanor and his sons? Why do these blatant criminals, warmongers, and thieves reliably draw admiration or even love from readers, clearly contrary to their creator's intent?

    Part textual history of the stories of Feanor, his sons, his family, and his angelic enemies as their characters radically changed with Tolkien's increasingly rigid beliefs, part literary analysis, part raging against the gods, part questioning the glories of paradise, this aims to convince the reader that if Feanor the character is a villain, then Feanor the personification of man's rebellion against authority is not, even if Tolkien grew to believe he was. To be drawn to the Feanoreans in spite of Tolkien is to be drawn to Don Quixote in spite of his creator's attempt to bury the character, and with him an ideology.

    Summary

    Shire-folk have debated the origin of hobbits for decades. In his latest book on hobbit lore, Meriadoc Brandybuck, author of Herblore of the Shire and similar titles, Mr Brandybuck proposes an outrageous origin for hobbits as the descendants of elves.

    *

    Crack treated seriously proposing hobbits as the part-elven descendants of Caranthir Fëanorion. Written as if it's the introduction to a longer book by Merry.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Caranthir thinks it's better not to know things. This is probably why none of his letters to his brothers ever get sent.

    Haleth does not subscribe to this philosophy.

    Summary

    "Now, if there's nothing else new, I would ask if there has been any progress regarding the Maglor Fëanorion Project," Therion proposed to the group.
    Faror, a guard frequently stationed on the lower levels' walls, groaned in frustration.
    "The Maglor hunting expedition into Ithilien was a bust. Lord- 'scuse me, I mean Prince Faramir caught us again, this time in the south parts of the woods. Gave us a stern dressing down, though we did manage to map out a few new paths along the way."
    -------

    The Gondorian Hunters Of Unexplained and Strange Things, or G.H.O.U.S.T. (pronounced 'ghost') have their bimonthly club meeting, discussing Middle-earth's cryptids, sightings and encounters, and demand that the secret Maglor records hidden by the government of Gondor be released to the public. Aragorn is baffled and not amused.

    Summary

    There was no word for it; he hadn't had the heart to craft one.

    Finwë was the only widower in Aman. Fëanor, the only orphan. Words crafted by him in his unique situation—but what is a childless parent? There was no word to describe his pain, and he thought he knew grief before.

     

    A Childless parent. It should have been an oxymoron

     

    Or : the aftermath of a time traveling makalaure from the point of view of those who love him and had to loose him to be saved from a threat they were unaware of , a threat that thanks to him they will remain unaware of forever .

Maedhros and Fingon must deal with the consequences of their actions while trying to forge a new path ahead.

    Summary

    “I thought he would come,” he whispers, barely audible.

    Lalwen cradles the back of his head with one hand, stroking his hair like she did when he was small. “I know.”

    “I thought–” His voice cracks, and he doesn’t finish the sentence.

    But Lalwen hears it all the same, as clearly as if he’d said it out loud: I thought he loved me.
    --
    Findekáno has always looked at Maitimo as though he, not Varda, had kindled the stars.
    Maitimo hides it a little better, but his love for Findekáno is easy to see as well, at least to those who know him and care to look.

    And Lalwen… Lalwen has been looking for a long time.

    (A story of Maitimo and Findekáno across the years, as witnessed by Lalwen – sister to kings and aunt to fools in love.)

    Summary

    “Maglor called him an usurping upstart brat,” Elros pointed out, very, very quietly. “He wouldn’t have done that if he was Fingon’s son. He’d be Fingon’s rightful heir.”

    “Yeah, well—” Elrond made another gesture, this one translating approximately to ‘you know how it is with the House of Finwë,’ which everyone unfortunately did. “I’m not going to go up and ask him.”

    Seven times Elrond hears theories of Gil-galad’s parentage, and the one time Gil-galad tells Elrond the truth.

    Summary

    Three graduate students of the University of Arnor at Lindon are bored. So very, very bored. Of course they decide to take a boat out to Tol Himling to see if they can find anything interesting, despite the fact that any researcher to have set foot on the island has been recorded as having a mental breakdown and never returning.

    They weren't exactly expecting to be able to explore it, but they certainly didn't expect what they found there.

    Sam is going to save Mr Frodo and if he has to storm a tower alone to do so then he bloody well will.

    There are however some things in this tower that Sauron seems to have forgotten about... Like a one handed throwback to the first age who'll be the perfect coach for not listening to cursed objects and has some considerable beef with a particular disembodied Maia.
