Such Great Deeds by Himring
Fanwork Notes
For Havisham (Agelast)
This story is set in the same 'verse as my Maedhros saga, but can for the most part be read independently.
(Fingon/Maedhros implied only)
The text is the same as posted on AO3, but I have readjusted the chapter division in the section set in Eithel Sirion. (It spans three chapters here rather than four.)

Double drabble written for B2MeM 2019 and for the Love Actually challenge, for the following quotation:
"But the Sindar had the fairer voices and were more skilled in music, save only Maglor son of Fëanor, and they loved the woods and the riversides; and some of the Grey-elves still wandered far and wide without settled abode, and they sang as they went." ~ Of the Return of the Noldor
No warnings for this double drabble except for the lost battle.
Mablung's last stand before the Treasury of Menegroth during the Battle of the Thousand Caves.
Double drabble.
Warning for character death, but no explicit violence.
