Northern Stars by Idrils Scribe

Fanwork Information

Summary:

Aboard Galdor's warship, Glorfindel returns in triumph from a dangerous expedition deep into enemy territory. He has found Elrond's missing son, but all is not well: the Elf-child that was abducted by the Corsairs of Umbar is now a Man grown. War and darkness have left Elrohir deeply scarred, and he is not the mission's only casualty.

An alternate universe for the Under Strange Stars series, in which Elrohir goes with Glorfindel instead of running away from him after the events of Under Strange Stars. This story covers the events of ‘Northern Skies’, but it can be enjoyed without having read the original.

I love the careful way Elrond handles his son, like a skittish stallion that will either bolt or strike.

And Glorfindel and the Feanorians was great. So much history present here.

I am enjoying this story so much!
