   Summary

   Fics set in the same universe, some more connected than others, centering around my favorite dead elves of the First Age that aren't quite willing to stay dead. Featuring: kidnap fam, metaphorical ghosts, literal ghosts, my aroace Maedhros agenda, multiple breakouts from the Halls of Mandos, and—above all—hope.

   This is the full series, featuring all fics set in this 'verse (main longfics + sidefics/interludes).
