    Summary

    Like Curufinwë, like Carnistir, she wore anger as a mask, under which Nerdanel could see a savage wound, still dripping fresh blood.

    “They took my son,” Elwing said. “They as good as killed him, that day they chose to leave Sauron free. Just as they killed Celebrimbor, and Elros’s children, they killed Elrond too. And, having already hurt him so much, so many times, now they choose to keep him from life. For what? Because some king who knew no war thought he needed divine intervention to tell him whether or not he could fuck?”

    -

    In which Elwing discovers her son is interdicted under the Statute of Finwë and Míriel, and seeks both vengeance and assistance with the tool most immediately to hand.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Open rebellion edging towards revolt over the statute of Finwë and Míriel. The Valar have *no idea* what kind of hornet's nest they're kicking. And they're about to learn the hard way.

    Summary

    Celegorm and Curufin, desperate and afraid for Celebrimbor's fate, take up an offer from Namo. They will leave the Halls of Mandos into unraveled threads of the tapestry of time, and go back to a moment that put the course of their doom in motion.

    They end up back in Nargothrond, several years before Beren and Luthien come seeking Finrod's help in their quest for a Silmaril. This time around, they choose differently. This changes everything.

    (It starts with smothering a much-confused and rather-pleased Celebrimbor - and Finrod - with love and attention.)

    One of the sweetest, warmest, least painful fics in the fandom. I love it dearly. <3

    Summary

    Faced with the division of the Noldor after Fëanor’s exile, Finwë stepping down, and his own coronation as King, Fingolfin does what any king facing civil war might do to bolster public morale – he organises a royal wedding. Of course, the consequences of this for his son Fingon are completely unforeseen. Shenanigans and the invention of an eagle postal service ensue.
