“Elrond,” the Fëanorian said in a gentle voice, “that’s a crab.”
Elrond is convinced he has found Maglor, or at least all that is left of him, in the form of a crab. His friends and family are not so sure.

Summary
Five people Finarfin did not expect, and one he did.
--
It was the Silmarils that had sent Fëanor on his mad way to Beleriand like a falling star, pulling all the youth and brightness of my life in a long tail after him; and the very Silmaril Elwing and Ëarendil brought here now had drawn Finrod my son into darkness and death, and torn him to pieces.
"To be fair, that was the wolf,” Finrod said.

Summary
Celebrían’s parents were horribly in love, and difficult to divide on matters like bedtime and how far up a tree one should be allowed to climb. They didn’t agree on things like whether Celebrían should be allowed to learn things from Cousin Celebrimbor in the forge, or whether Dwarf friends should be invited to dinner, but they never argued about it. They had conversations with their eyes, and in their heads, their faces calm, and then they always gave her their answer together.

Summary
"Yes Arwen," Glorfindel told her drily. "It is of course inconceivable that Lord Elrond of Imladris — an elf so insufferably overcommitted to bureaucracy he once tried to implement and risk assess a regional policy for the baking of Lembas until Galadriel told him where he could shove his bread — might ever decide to stick around and micromanage the upbringing of his grandson."
Moments from a world in which Elrond stays to watch Eldarion grow up.

Summary
Fíli lived his life by an old dwarven proverb: when a fool drops a treasure, a wise man picks it up (it sounded better in the original khuzdul).
Bella Baggins never quite fit in the Shire. Perhaps she was made for the mountains, instead.

Anekdota (A secret history of Ereinion Gil-Galad) by Dorkangel
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
09 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
Maedhros son of Fëanor aids in the rescue of a thrall child, a boy with bright eyes like shining little stars.
The Peredhel twins recognise something in High King Gil-Galad: a particular left-handed style to his swordfighting, a sharp tactical mind, a suppressed Fëanorian accent.
A fiery spirit in the Halls of Mandos greets a stranger as a grandson.
And in Valinor, Fingolfin son of Finwë finds that the imposter prince who had claimed descent from Fingon resembles his brother far more than his son...

Summary
"You are Elrond's wife, are you not?"
"The cultural practices of the Noldor are stranger than I thought," Celebrían muses vaguely, as if talking to herself. "You wouldn't think anyone would name a child 'Elrondswife', but I suppose it takes all kinds of naming traditions to make a world."
_________________________________
Near the close of the Third Age, Celebrían and Maedhros establish a re-wilding sanctuary in Valinor, to help elves fleeing strife in Middle-Earth recover and rebuild their lives.Bookmarked by morpid

Summary
Gilraen all but thrusts the baby into his arm. Elrond has three children, and helped raise countless others from his brother’s line; it is a reflex rather than a conscious decision to adjust him so that his head rests comfortably against his arm.
Or, a non-linear study of Estel's unbringing in Rivendell, of Gilraen and Elrond's different education methods and of Elrond's views on mortality and the passage of time, sort of.

Summary
Then the swan-ship was still, for only the two of them were left alive on it. There were other bodies, many of them. The fighting must have been fierce. Maedhros looked at Fingon, and Fingon at him. They had been close in friendship once, but they had not spoken to one another in many long years. Not since the day when Fëanor had held a sword to Fingolfin's breast, before the gates of the house of Finwë.
_Fingon does things for love, from Alqualondë to Thangorodrim.

Summary
Fingon assailed Angband alone armed only with a harp, a bow and his own certainty that this was the right thing to do. More terrifying by far is the mire of politics and obligation that awaits him upon his return. His father wants a crown, his cousins want their brother back and Maedhros himself wants everyone to believe he’s fine (he’s really not). Fingon just wants everyone to be sensible for five minutes or, failing that, a problem that can be solved with courage and the edge of a blade.

Summary
"As long as he dwells here," smiled the Lord of Imladris, stroking the child's curly dark hair. "He shall be called Estel."
"Not to be a contrarian," Elladan whispered, nudging Glorfindel with his foot. "But that's a ridiculous name, even for Ada. One of the worst yet, don't you think?"
"Remember, my dear Elladan, it could always be worse. You know full well that if Elrond had his way, the boy would be called Elros Tar-Minyatur the 385th."
.
The elves of Imladris start a gambling ring, attempt to raise terrible toddlers and get bitten by them, meet, part and make the valley a home warmer than the heart of the world.

Summary
“I hardly believed it,” said Maedhros. “What are you doing here?”
"I bring a message from my father."
Maedhros blinked. "Really?"
Fingon grinned. "I believe his exact words were: you're visiting who, well if you must you must, say something suitable, something something friendship something something kinsmen, tell him good job keeping my brother's sons out of trouble, I'd rather wrestle another ice bear myself – but don't say it like that!"
_Fingon goes to visit Maedhros, accidentally arrives during a Fëanorion family reunion, and quickly regrets many (but not all) of his life choices.
