Fandoms: Hamilton - Miranda, Hamilton and Peggy! A Revolutionary Friendship
29 Apr 2018

Summary
Summary: Angelica’s always been the oldest and the wittiest, able to go toe-to-toe with anybody. Eliza started reading through her aunt’s anatomy books at the age of nine. And Peggy? Well, she learned the business of canals and cows and ships at her Daddy’s knee.
Or, Hamilton in space. Valley Forge, but with a crucial difference: women are in the sequel.

Ilimbë by TheChasm for Alquaniquisse
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
15 Sep 2023

Summary
Fëanor said, “Why do you think the Elf who made Ilimbë loved her?”
Nerdanel did not castigate him for the absurdity of the question. “Because she was beautiful, I suppose,” she said; “and all the Eldar love beautiful things.”
“But better to make a beautiful thing than to be one,” said Fëanor; “you cannot convince me otherwise.”
“Nor do I wish to try!” said Nerdanel. “But why do you think Ilimbë loved her maker, then?”
Fëanor had never thought of that question before. “Because,” he said, more hesitantly than was his wont, “well — how could she not? She was made for loving him.”
-
Fëanor, newly apprenticed in Mahtan’s halls, does not care that Nerdanel does not like him. Her statues are nice enough, but he has far more important things to concern himself with than her approval. And he doesn't think she’s pretty.
A story about art, mythology, and learning what exactly you were made for.

if we're strong enough to let it in, we're strong enough to let it go by Dialux for Lidoshka

Summary
“I would not have watched him burn,” says Feanáro, and he hates the weight of the words in his voice, as heavy as a thousand stones. “I would not watch my own son burn alive.”
[Canon divergent AU, where Amrod burns but lives, Fingolfin’s host never crosses the Helcaraxe but still reaches Beleriand, and Feanor goes a little- just the tiniest bit, for spice- insane.]

exit tax season, pursued by stork by PandaFlower
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
29 Apr 2025

Summary
[“This just lists one male elfling, aged two years.” Fingon peers over the top of the parchment form dubiously, one brow arched as if inviting Maedhros to let him in on the joke any time now. “I thought you said this was a list of what I’d be getting in Himring’s back taxes.”]
In which Maedhros gets very creative about paying taxes after the Bragollach destroyed Himring's coffers. Everyone suffers.
