    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.)

    Summary

    In which “blessed by Ulmo” means that Tuor and his line are skinchangers who turn into aquatic mammals. This changes nothing, except the things that it does. 300% fluff, feelings, and otters who just want to snuggle.
    Some are more interrelated than others, and things get mentioned across the timeline, but any of them should stand alone.

    There is also a spinoff series in the same universe, but which does not contain the skinchangers here.

    I'm not quite halfway through this, but what I've read so far has been an absolute delight.
