    Summary

    Celebrían sails to Valinor and though the air is like silver she finds she is bare and fearful; grasped by a world she has only heard of in whispers and her mother's history tales, she spends an absorbing amount of time cracking open the layer of mystery that lays upon the land of the undying.

    Or, Celebrían goes full detective as a post-trauma healing hobby.

    Summary

    Elrond frowned and tilted his head: at the very end of the table, the last gift to arrive, laid a small chest forged entirely in silver. An exquisite, if inexplicable gift. There were no seal and no letter accompanying it. Camnir had probably forgotten to include it: all the other gifts had a letter attached, full of solicitude and advice on lordly duties. Elrond lifted the chest, raising it to his curious eyes, turning it around to examine it. The chest was covered in foliage engraving, very faint, barely visible, but noticeable under his fingers. On the bottom, he thought he could guess at the engraving of a tree. What realm could that be? Whose lord was it? As he looked at the bottom, the lid opened, no lock protecting its content, and the gift inside spilled out on his fingers.

    After the siege of Ost-in-Edhil, a new palace for the Elves is built, a stronghold against the rising darkness. Elrond Peredhel, the new lord, soon realises that darkness is not done with him yet.

    Summary

    So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
    It softens his temper a mite; binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.

    So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest on Lammoth's shore, and receives his weregild.
    Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he will co-operate. Still, despite the noblesse, he is no less hungry and ambitious.

    Can they build a healthy co-existence? Doubtful, given their past and dispositions. But they can try.

    Meanwhile, on the great game's board move a thousand pieces: Thingol negotiates, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien battles the very weaves of fate. Can a less fractured Beleriand stand against Morgoth?

    --
    [Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.]
