    Summary

    If a person cared to hear it, and if they angled their head just right, they could make out the distant calling of unhappy souls from almost anywhere in Mandos - their weeping, their screaming, their singing.
     
    And then, just once, the crack of leather, a stifled cry.

    The closer Fëanor came, the clearer the noise was: the snap of a cord through air, the echoes of blows raining down on skin, and faint whimpering, strikingly loud through silence. It quickened his heart and his feet - whatever was happening, it couldn’t be allowed to continue, he was certain of that.

    Fëanor encounters a hurt young elf in the Halls, and intervenes to bring him to a place where he can heal.

    Summary

    Manwë was fairly sure that, despite the ever-constant nature of his physical form, his hair had actually changed colour. Where before it had been a brilliant blue-white that implied divinity and all that came with it, it was now the translucent grey-white generally found in the very old or the very stressed.

    He blamed Melkor.

    Summary

    Nolofinwe looked with internal trepidation at the enthusiastically smoking workshop of Mahtan, Aule’s most highly favored smith. It was certainly not the size of the structure which gave him pause (as he spent a good portion of his time in his father’s palace in Tirion), nor even its forbidding construction of coal-darkened stone, which rose to impressive heights and poured steam and smoke from various chimneys and vents like enflamed breath. What gave him trepidation was what was inside.
    Or who, rather.

    He looked over at his father (and a little down, since he had just passed him in height). His father looked back, his calm, dove-gray eyes revealing nothing. They hardly ever did, but Nolofinwe knew that he felt the same anxiety Nolofinwe did, albeit less.

    They were here because the ‘thing with Mahtan’s daughter’ was, according to rumors, beginning to look serious.

    Summary

    “You are smoked,” Irime said, sinking cheerfully to the ground to grab both sides of Ambarussa’s little face. He grinned up at her and giggled as she lightly squished him.

    “Dear daughter of my father,” said Feanaro, somewhat dryly, because that was all she had said as introduction when she swooped into his house and began manhandling his youngest son. “What do you mean?”

    (Nolofinwe does the one thing that Feanaro apparently cannot.)

    Summary

    ”Many evils we are threatened with, but no cravens are we!” said Fëanor, on the shores of barren Araman. “Grief, I already know, and I fear no weapons nor weariness! I fear no torment nor treason! Indeed, walk with me, Nolofinwë, my recently-sworn brother, and let us take counsel together on how best to take our people across these empty lands ahead of us.”
    Mandos blinked.
    Fingolfin blinked.

     

    (Or: au in which spite drives Fëanor to make…GOOD choices?)

    Summary

    Caranthir has never been the most social of his brothers, but being a Noldo who lacks a craft isolates him in a way he hates. Feeling unwanted and humiliated after a fight with Curufin, he sneaks away to the forbidden tower at the corner of their house. That night, he dreams of his grandmother's ghost, and she presents him with a puzzling solution to his problems of craftlessness: to embrace being bad at things.

    Summary

    “Every time I see you,” Gil-galad said, not entirely keeping his weariness out of his voice, “I am freshly amazed that you have not yet met with some horrible death.”

    ...

    Or, Gil-galad isn't entirely sure why the sons of Eärendil insist on keeping the last two Fëanorions around, but he is sure that it's all going to end in tears. Given that the sons of Eärendil in question don't feel the need to justify themselves to him, it takes a while for understanding to dawn.

    The Shire isn't the first place Thorin and Co. went looking for a burglar. The problem is, their quest sounds a lot like a Nigerian Prince con.

    "You know, I am a displaced prince soon to come into my inheritance, lend me $$$/fund my quest/come with and I will repay you with 1/14th share of my mountain of gold."

    Thorin is 100% legitimate but his sales pitch is so bad NOBODY believes him.
