    Summary

    “Mu-shidi,” Yue Qingyuan speaks up, taking his seat at the head of the table. “Have you heard of this curse?”

    “I’m afraid not,” Mu Qingfang says, shaking his head. “A curse of compulsion, with dire consequences for disobedience… I’ve heard of many similar things, but not exactly this.”

    “For all we know, the perpetrator invented this little trap just for us,” Shen Qinqiu says, tapping his fan dangerously. “Tailormade to ruin us.”

    “I have no secrets to hide,” Liu Qingge says, and lifts his chin challengingly at Shen Qingqiu, who bristles in return. “Do you?”

    “Ah, Liu-shidi, if you don’t have any secrets then you should get some real quick!” Shang Qinghua says with bright, manic cheer, his smile and his eyes a little too wide. “The consequences for not meeting the curse’s requirements would be very very bad!”

    -

    The Peak Lords of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect are stricken with a curse that forces them to reveal a secret, and they all must submit to this curse or suffer the consequences...

    Yue Qingyuan wishes he were anywhere but here.

    Summary

    Fingon is married. He does not remember it, and he does not want it.

    Fingon is married, and it is not to his intended.

    Fingon is married. He cannot understand it, and no one will listen.

    Or, how the sacred act of Elvish marriage can be perverted and consumed, and how Fingon is caught within such a trap.

    And Chapter 2:

    A journey of healing, and the realization that there is still a love between Fingon and Maedhros so vast it cannot be broken.

    Summary

    Nerdanel ignored the protests and held up a head of red leaf lettuce. “This is a vulva,” she said.

    “That is a vulva,” Turukáno echoed dutifully.

    “You cannot simply tear off the tough outer leaves to reach the tender inner petals,” Nerdanel said. “Gentle and slow is the way to approach. Massage the outside. Use your fingers, tongue, lips. Don’t be afraid to really salivate on it. Most importantly, use your imagination, and watch how the leaves respond to your touch. Here, you try.” She handed each pupil a head of something green and leafy.

    Findekáno stared at his iceberg lettuce. “Do they, the real thing I mean, do they really have leaves?” Findekáno whispered to Makalaurë.

    Makalaurë shook his head no. At least, he didn’t think so.

    The princes of the Noldor learn about an important loophole, and swear a foolish Oath. Parties, after-parties, improbable help from parents, many first times, and declarations of love. Also, blowjobs.

    Summary

    There were two young Finwëan men named after stars living with Círdan at the end of the First Age. One of them, Eӓrendil, abruptly disappeared, his fate known only in legends. Around the same time, the other, Gil-galad, abruptly *appeared*, his origins shrouded in myth.
    But like they say of Superman comics… there’s no way Clark Kent could be Superman. We all know where Superman lives—what would he be doing running around in disguise? That’s ridiculous, right?
    Right?
    *Look. It wasn’t like Eӓrendil had planned to disobey (another!) edict of the Valar, fake his death, lie about his identity, cheat fate, meet his apparently-not-dead sons, and become the king of the remaining Exiles. It all just… snowballed.*

    I started reading this like, “hmm fun crack concept,” but now I’m genuinely emotionally invested in your Gil Estel-Galad and his relationship with Elrond.

    I love Beor/Finrod and I love this take on it. And then the ending hits!
