    Summary

    Harry had always been strange, as the Dursleys delighted in telling him. His hair was too wild, his eyes too green, his ears too sharp. Until he looked in the Mirror of Erised, he'd never seen anyone who looked like him. And then he fell through it, and found a whole world of things he'd never seen, and people who would not accept that he didn't belong in it.

    OR

    An exploration of family, and belonging, and being not entirely one thing nor another.

    Summary

    "And Maeglin stood by and said nothing; but at the last Eöl cried out: 'So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I, or else follow the path of your mother and perish for the sake of an accursed child.'"

    Eöl's curse is different, Maeglin's crush on Idril is awkward but short-lived, and both of them find true love with Tuor. But one day Maeglin disappears, and despite the desperate searching of all those who love him, he is never seen again.

    Years later, Tuor and Idril discover Maeglin living in Valinor raising a small child.

    Summary

    Born with a beauty that could unmake kings, Maeglin is hidden away in Nan Elmoth by his parents to protect him from the world—and the world from him. But fate finds him, and after a tragic flight and spellbound disguise, he enters Gondolin in secret, living quietly as a humble smith.

    Yet even cloaked, his presence draws the eye of King Turgon, who becomes dangerously obsessed. Trapped in a golden cage, Maeglin’s body becomes a battleground of power and desire

    This is not the tale of Maeglin’s fall—
    but of his rise, by choice, into the light.

    Summary

    Just before Turgon and his ten thousand spears ride out to the battle that would have otherwise been the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, Maeglin Lomion wakes with memories of another life – a life in which he was called Harry Potter and, though his parents were just as dead, he had some friends to give him good advice. This changes things.

    Updates probably very irregular.

    Summary

    The siege of Barad-dûr has lasted for years, and Gil-galad is tired of war. Every day the same as the other; dark and desperate and despondent. Then a man appears, foreign and fair, in the dry wastes of Mordor. He says no words they understand, is certainly not dressed for a battle. So they take him captive, and watch and wait.

    Gil-galad watches more than most. He finds he does not wish to stop.
