Summary

“What if,” said Manwë, regarding Maedhros with star-bright eyes, blue as sapphires and piercing as blades, “you were sent from these Halls for a purpose, son of Fëanáro?”
“I suppose, my lord,” Maedhros said slowly, “that would depend upon the purpose.”
Maedhros is sent back to Middle-earth, in the company of the Maia Olórin.

Summary

Fëanor shrugged, studying the contents of his wine glass. “Something must be done about that house. It will fall down eventually.”
“It does not follow that it must be you that tears it down single-handedly. Are you sure you do not want help?”
“It’s not as though I have much else to do. I need to build something new there,” he said after a few moments. “To do that, I must first clear away the old and broken things.”

Decades out of Mandos, too many things in Fëanor's life remain broken. He can't do anything except wait for his sons to come to him, but he can do something about the old and crumbling house where they once lived.

Dancing at a Funeral by julomaiboulomai

Summary

At the dawn of the Fourth Age, Fingon and Finrod agree to marry for political purposes: to heal at last the rift in the House of Finwe, as best as can be done when one third of that House remains forever in Mandos.
The problem is, Fingon is already married, and marrying again comes with consequences.
--
An angsty, horny, tender romp through grief, self-discovery, and the (re-)building of family at the beginning of forever.

For an instant, the world tilts and swims; his breath comes in harsh gasps as he struggles to sit up, his body shaking hard enough that his teeth chatter.

Maglor, Caranthir, and pre-Doriath nightmares.

Summary

The tide is rising as Maglor sets foot on the shores of Tol Himling for the first and last time. He shivers despite his woolen cloak; autumn's slow slide into winter has come earlier than expected, this year, and the sea-wind is sharp, raw, and smells of snow.

Maglor, Finrod, memories, and grief.
