    Summary

    A “what if everything was fine and also I gave everyone approximately 10 children each*” AU. Entirely self indulgent. Begins with a Russingon Arranged Marriage AU.

    *Factoid actually a statistical error. Kanafinwë Makalaurë, who lives by the ocean and kidnaps 10000 children a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

    Summary

    "Then have a think about my question." Maedhros returns his hand to his shoulder. "Why am I the general of our forces? Why do I make sure we can fight?"

    Ereinion stares at the floor for a few moments. "Because…because if something were to go wrong, we would be ready," he says eventually. "So we can defend ourselves." He looks up at Maedhros. "Right?"

    Maedhros skims his knuckles over his cheeks. "Correct. I learned to fight so I could defend the people I love. Sometimes that meant taking the fight to the enemy before they brought it to us, but it was always for Atto, and your uncles, and all these people around us." He tweaks Ereinion's nose again, delighting in his son's affronted squawk. "And now you. This is your first lesson."

    Ereinion looks at him from between hands sheltering his nose from further harm. "What is?"

    Maedhros holds out the small, blunted blade, balanced across one palm and one wrist. "Always, always, know why you're picking up a weapon to fight. If you don't know, then don't do it."

    Summary

    Fingon smiled. “If I confessed to how often I thought about bedding you, you would accuse me of intemperance.”

    This was true, thought Fingon disliked being facetious. He shifted foot to foot. If he thought too long about last night, and bringing Maedhros to heel by force, it brought on a queasy, intoxicating hunger.

    (Maedhros is healed in Mithrim, and Fingon discovers they share some new inclinations)

    Summary

    Curufinwë Atarinkë is not his father. He is the shadow of the flame on the wall, the soft ember in the ashes—a fragment. A fraction. A facsimile. He is a spark that has yet to catch.

    He is the age his father was when his parents first fell in love.

    Given that, he is unsure why it has not happened to him yet.

    [Curufin, marriage, love, and expectation. Or, alternatively, how Curufin gets away with the greatest con he’s ever pulled: his own wedding.]

    Fingon is married, and it is not to his intended.

    Fingon is married. He cannot understand it, and no one will listen.

    Or, how the sacred act of Elvish marriage can be perverted and consumed, and how Fingon is caught within such a trap.

    And Chapter 2:

    A journey of healing, and the realization that there is still a love between Fingon and Maedhros so vast it cannot be broken.

    Summary

    'Faramir found Dernhelm first to be an admirable man, and then a lovely one. He was not accustomed to thinking so, but in the case of Dernhelm it was undeniable. His face was fair and his gold hair fine. He stood tall enough to look Faramir in the eye but his build was slender and graceful. His was the aspect of a youth but not the bearing of one. His voice rang clear, but as steel rings.'
