Summary
"So perhaps I love you not as a brother should love a brother, or perhaps exactly as a brother could have, with all the complication and contradiction that entails. I love your brilliance and your cruelty, your certainty and your blindness. I love the way you and Lalwendë moved through the world as if it owed you glory as your birthright, any compromise a defeat. I loved you all, and I resented you."
_____________
A series of letters to the departed and exiled Fëanor, in whose absence Finarfin's long-held fixation with his oldest brother comes to the surface, and mingles uneasily with his sorrow at the loss of his siblings and his children. -

Summary
"If I could, I would reach past this land and towards the sea, searching for some old version of my Fingon, who exists outside the bloody tale of the Noldor in Beleriand, who can be mourned in isolation from all our other ghosts and all whom we helped make into ghosts. But my brother Fingon no longer exists in isolation. Dirges in war must be orchestral or silent: there is no in-between. Death was his reward, but not his alone."
___________________
On a rooftop three days after the Nirnaeth, Turgon rehearses a tripartite address he's scheduled to deliver the following day: an eulogy for his brother, an account of their final meeting, and his own coronation speech, in one. -

Summary
"But there is one detail none of them have noticed, or at least none have recorded: in the upper left corner, in the very first panel showing Fëanor as an infant, Míriel's small watching figure is not looking at her son. She is looking down at her own hands, at the invisible needle, at the act of weaving itself, horror and disgust gnashing teeth across the pale threads of her face. As though she already knew."
Miriel Þerinde sews a tapestry, puts on a show, and muddies the waters.

Summary
"Those who remain move through quieter streets, and tend to houses which now stand empty. They tend ailing blossoms in daylight, in gardens beholden to the sun. And Finarfin tends to them in turn, this king of circumstance, this lord of loss."
_________Finarfin encounters a persistence of bees.

Summary
“To Maglor, these matter most out of all the funeral-flowers because such careless selection is the last ungoverned gesture in an abandonment disguised as civilisation, all that remains in this landscape of deferred futures. The bending, the semicircular nail-cut, the bitter residue, joys so small they escape inventory. We all live amidst graveyards gone to seed, pushing against an inertia that compounds with every year we come carrying that which cannot pierce the soil, bearing fragrant armfuls of the tender and the adequate.”
____________September 1971: Three months after the custodial death of Comrade Elros, the Fëanorians are still reeling. Maedhros and Maglor haven't spoken a word to each other. Celegorm and Curufin are at each other’s throats. Maedhros and Fingon sleep in separate rooms.
Under such circumstances, the entire cliff-house cabal cramming into Fingon’s five-seater for a road trip to watch Elros’ favourite animal migration, promises to be disastrous at best and impossible at worst, especially once they run into eco-tourism developers Legolas and Gimli.
A standalone novella in the Prayers to Broken Stone AU.

Summary
What it says on the tin, aka Dad Elrond: The Series.
All works are standalone, the only thing that connects them is that the Imladris kids are all notoriously feral and terribly-behaved, but their doting father thinks they're all wonderful (possibly due to his own feral upbringing...)

Summary
No greater claim is there in all the Song of Arda than that of a father on his son, greater even than that of man and wife. Elrond is Maedhros’ creature, wholly – no part of him free of the mark of his hands. Even in his rejection of Maedhros, there looms the shape of him, towering, all-encompassing. Elrond will never be free of him, will never scrub off the stain of his love, no matter how hard he tries. It has branded him for all eternity, unto the Unmaking of the world and beyond.
*
After Maedhros is mysteriously re-embodied in Third Age Middle-earth, he must find a new purpose for himself, something that justifies his second lease on life. Unfortunately for everyone, he decides that purpose is fucking his grief-stricken son back to health.
