    Summary

    Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan Riley never had, until one day he disappears, and Stefan has to adapt to life without him. But, one year later, when he runs into a girl who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He discovers that other boys have disappeared, too, dozens over the years, most of them students of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, many of them troubled or unruly before their disappearance.

    What is happening to these boys? Who are the handful of women on campus who bear a striking resemblance to some of those who went missing? And what is the connection to the mysterious Dorley Hall?

    Stefan works hard to get into the Royal College for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too.

    (A closeted trans girl attempts to infiltrate a secret underground forced feminisation programme.)

    Summary

    In YT 1104, fifteen elves swear to bear children for the Valar in exchange for the protection of their race. Thus do the Maiar come into being.

    By the end of the age, the stage is set: the Valar grow distant, Melkor has twisted the deal to his advantage, and Fëanor is overcome by its corrupted effects. Finwë swears he's fine, but Ingwë and Olwë are fading from exertion, and their kin on the other side of the Sea have their own problems to deal with.

    Maiar are woven throughout the world, and Melkor's eventual defeat does not change the reality of the very first oath, made in return for protection at whatsoever cost.

    Summary

    “The Maedhros who stands before his son is not one thing but many. He is a struck-down statue. He is a fading demon. He is a sword in a nuclear war. He is historical debris. He is the sum of a nation’s ruin. He is the first sunset of the Empire’s apocalypse. He is Elrond’s beloved Baba, who would find him under every starless sky. Archives will dissect him. Historians will redeem him. Writers will swallow him whole.”

    In 1937, notorious Indian revolutionary Maedhros Fëanorian and his brother Maglor, take in a British colonial officer's twin sons and raise them to adulthood. Decades later, Elrond Peredhel, trying to leave a family tragedy behind in England, returns to India during a time of political turbulence and finds that everything, from the national landscape to his firebrand father, the ineffable Comrade Maedhros, has changed. Chapter 19: Epilogue, Afterword and 'Alternate' Ending.

    Summary

    Silvergifting co-ruling Mordor for fun and aesthetics.

    Celebrimbor finds out Annatar is Tar-Mairon - the ruler of Mordor - but not that he's Sauron, and then they play commitment chicken about it. Be a decent person by my standards or I'm breaking up with you. Marry me or I won't be a decent person by your standards. Promise me you won't go to war with my friends and family or I won't marry you. etc etc etc.

    Both of them are at least half expecting the other to back out, because this is an insane person thing to do on both their parts, but because of that expectation, neither one does the backing out himself.
