    Summary

    When Elrond learned the choice of his daughter, he was silent, though his heart was grieved and found the doom long feared none the easier to endure.

    – Return of the King, Appendix A, The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, J. R. R. Tolkien

    Or, Arwen tells Elrond of her betrothal to Aragorn. He – doesn’t take it well.

    ---

    Her father! Her dear, dear world of a father. As ineluctable as the seasons and as unknowable. She was made in his likeness. They were a mirror and its reflection, spiralling on for eternity. A virus self-replicating, an aberration; their riverine bloodline nothing but a glitch in the great fabric of the universe, perpetuating itself over and over in the hopes of resolving its own paradox once and for all. The line of the peredhel – Arwen and Elrond and Elrond and Elwing and Elwing and Dior, all the way back to Lúthien herself – a poem of fixed meter and rhyming pairs, each generation following the same pattern time after time after time. No hope for escape.

    Arwen had to get out; she had to break the mirror. That was the only way any of it would end. Could he not see that? He had to. He had to.

    Summary

    Galadriel swears that Elrond looks just like Turgon. Celeborn wouldn’t know. Sometimes he sees a glimpse of Eärendil in him, so he supposes that must be from Turgon, but really Elrond looks like Elwing, and even more than that he looks like Dior. He supposes Elrond has no way of knowing that. He’s probably been told countless times that spitting image of each Finwean prince, but there has been no one to tell him that he looks more like a brief-lived Sindarin king than any Noldo. Sometimes it is uncanny, and Celeborn’s heart leaps, thinking for a moment that Dior is alive.

    And then he sees Elrond’s Noldorin braids, and hears his lilting voice speaking Quenya, and sees his fingers and wrists bejeweled with rings and bracelets, and the illusion is gone.

    -

    A story about Celeborn, Elrond, and Sindarin cultural heritage. Takes place during the first Siege of Imladris.

    Summary

    In one swift movement, Maedhros crouched and took the round face in hand. The child paled, his lips trembling, and under Maedhros’s little finger, his pulse beat fast as a rabbit’s. What a contrast to how he had peered out from behind Rochen, hopeful at the thought that Maglor had come! Sickening, that hope. “Are you scared of me?” Maedhros said. “Good.”

    He might’ve put the fear of Maglor into them right then and there. It was what he had come to do: tell them that Maglor, their sweet Maglor, had pushed their mother into the sea. As did I, he would say. As did we all. Don’t forget you are among enemies.

    Maglor takes pity upon Elros and Elrond, from Maedhros’s point of view.

    Maglor finds himself alone with only sorrow and song for companions. But lamentation can neither undo the sorrows of which it tells, nor turn new hardships aside. Luckily Maglor is not as alone as he initially thinks.

    “Dear Ada, if I have to read one more word about this Estel you will never hear from me again, as I will disappear into the Wild and become a recluse who avoids with exacting precision the slightest sign of interpersonal contact.”

    Summary

    The final blessings of colour splash Thranduil’s moon-pale skin with shades of lilac. Streaks of fuchsia illuminate his hair and dusky rose washes over his fine olive-gray silk robes. It’s an intimate and ethereal show of beauty that threatens to steal Elrond’s breath, and effectively puts all other sunsets to shame.

    Admittedly, every sunset spent in the company of Thranduil has a habit of putting all the sunsets that came before it to shame. It’s an ongoing problem.

    A lick of heat crawls up Elrond’s neck as he catches himself staring and he quickly diverts his attention to topping up his own goblet. Scrabbling for the threads of their conversation, he berates himself as he so often has in the more than ten-hundred years that he has called Thranduil friend, that he may as well be lusting after Ilúvatar for all his longing will amount to anything more.

    Ñolofinwë needs to win, if just once.
    He chases and despises, he yearns for and resents, he fights and fights and fights.

    Then, he wins.
    Or might have, if Fëanáro was something to be won.

    Summary

    No greater claim is there in all the Song of Arda than that of a father on his son, greater even than that of man and wife. Elrond is Maedhros’ creature, wholly – no part of him free of the mark of his hands. Even in his rejection of Maedhros, there looms the shape of him, towering, all-encompassing. Elrond will never be free of him, will never scrub off the stain of his love, no matter how hard he tries. It has branded him for all eternity, unto the Unmaking of the world and beyond.

    *

    After Maedhros is mysteriously re-embodied in Third Age Middle-earth, he must find a new purpose for himself, something that justifies his second lease on life. Unfortunately for everyone, he decides that purpose is fucking his grief-stricken son back to health.

    Summary

    Fëanáro writhes in the grips of crisis; a failing marriage, Melkor's stalking, dark dreams, and Ñolofinwë's rising star all drive him to bitterness and alienation.

    Anonymous during an indulgent once-a-year tradition, the Hiding of the Face, as well as mildly intoxicated, he pursues a brazen stranger who dares mockingly masquerade as a 'Spirit of Fire'. A game of cat and mouse escalates to an illicit, slightly punitive tryst, where neither party realises who the other is until they are touching far more intimately than half-brothers should.

    Horror, guilt and desire ensue.

    Annatar sat, and he watched the couples far below him with their linked arms and smiling faces, and it occurred to him that perhaps it would soon be time to start being honest with himself.

    Annatar has a lot of weird and complicated feelings about his relationship with Celebrimbor. He handles none of them productively.
