Mockingbird by Littlewhitemouse

Summary
One of his captains had asked him, “Maglor, do you not sleep beside with your brother when visiting him?” and Maglor had replied, “I do, as it makes it easier for me to sleep,” and his captain had said, “Which is good, because you do not usually sleep,” and Maglor had said, “I do not.”
But his captain had then asked, “but doesn’t Prince Fingon also bed with him, on account of their completely secret and frankly astounding incestuous affair that no one knows about (and I certainly don’t myself)?” and Maglor had replied, “Yes, and that makes it harder to sleep.”
On account of that being a full and complete explanation, Maglor’s captain had said, “Ah,” and that was the end of that conversation.

Summary
The Valar did not lie when they told the Eldar their lost kin would return to them, only that it would take a long while. The healing of the dead cannot be rushed.
(A number of the dead have known Melkor and his ilk. Their healing cannot be rushed.)
It is fine to wait. Are they not immortal?
(These are a series of bullet point fics I initially wrote on tumblr, now crossposting here for more reliable archival purposes.)

Why did Thingol, Dior and Elwing want to get and want to keep the Silmaril? by EtDonaFerentes

Summary
There’s been a lot of discussion recently about the Doom and about how Beren, Thingol, Dior and Elwing were justified in wanting/keeping the Silmaril, because it eventually led to Eärendil managing to get through the barriers that the Valar had erected around Valinor to keep that pesky, inconvenient war out and convincing the Valar to do their jobs.
But that was not why they did what they did. There is no indication whatsoever that Beren, Thingol, Dior and Elwing thought that keeping the Silmaril was necessary to fulfil some Doom and to save the world from Morgoth; instead, it’s clear that they all coveted the Silmaril at least in part for inherently selfish reasons.
