On the Starlit Sea by Idrils Scribe
Fanwork Notes
This story began its life as a collection of loosely connected chapters based off Comfortember/Whumptober prompts, hence the chapter titles, but in the telling it grew into a full-fledged AU for ‘The Stars Above the Sea’.
A sequel, covering Elrohir’s return and the events of ‘Northern Skies’ is in the works.

Summary:
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. Together, they journey from Harad's Great Desert into the heart of the Umbarian Empire, to the coast where Galdor’s swan-ship awaits to carry them home.
But danger lurks even on the high seas …
