Summary
"To make the choice a father should make if he wishes to be named a father, if he wishes to retain the title, to say yes, if I had the choice, then I would choose to not be homosexual if it means my son Elros would be alive today, it would require that I declare Fingon never deserved his place in my heart. That I stand with my back to the sea and sink our very lives as nothing but a shipwrecked fantasy. It should be so easy. A father must forever put his children first, before all. You know this, Elrond. But we were five years old when we met, Finnu and I. How can I cast those children from my heart?”
_____________
One night on the cliff-house porch, Comrade Maedhros tells Elrond where exactly fatherhood lay upon his list of regrets, and what exactly he meant when he told Professor Gil-galad that he "was not a gay, but a Communist".Series

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
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...)

He chases and despises, he yearns for and resents, he fights and fights and fights.Then, he wins.
Or might have, if Fëanáro was something to be won.[Edit: Now with illustration.]

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.
