To Love and Die in Gondolin by Melesta

Summary
Maeglin & Idril centered series, exploring the reasons behind the downfall of Maeglin and Gondolin. Be warned: lots of psychology, politics, and angst.
I will make references to stories within the series but they can be read independently. Ordered somewhat chronologically, posted as the muses dictate.

Summary
“When they played in the caves, they were not Elwing-Elrond-Elros, mother and sons. They were three refugee children pretending to be ordinary children, feral in salt-stained clothes and their foremother's wide, watchful eyes. Up and down the shoreline, caves like these were claimed by Sirion's young to play in, designed, occupied and defended by children who understood that space you could call yours was temporary, that you took it when you found it and could lose it any time.“
Elwing cares little for the forests of Valinor.

Summary
“Oh Elrond, you and I have lived long enough to know that ordinary people arrive at extraordinary cruelty by forgetting the past in perfectly reasonable increments as they plan for the future. I fear that the descendants of two children found sobbing beneath a bed amidst the ruins of their birthplace may one day come to lay waste to the cradles of another’s civilisation.”
___________________In Fourth Age Gondor, King Elessar is set to unite the Harad city-states under the banner of the White Tree, whilst Arwen struggles with her father’s legacy and her own mortality. But as the date for the surrender and subsequent transfer of power draws nearer, a Haradrim campaign of resistance and subterfuge ramps up in Minas Tirith, and with Maglor Fëanorian’s unexpected appearance in the city, the descendants of Elrond and Elros Peredhel find they can no longer ignore the reopening wounds of First Age Beleriand.
A story of Harad and the West, from the Union of Maedhros to the King’s Peace of Gondor.
