Finduilas is still trying to settle in in Nargothrond, when she receives a gift from Finrod.
Finally, Gil-galad said, "Why did you come out here alone?"
Elrond didn't answer right away. He picked up a seashell and turned it over in his fingers. "I was—angry," he said finally. "It would not be befitting for the lord of Imladris to stand in the middle of Mithlond and scream at the sky, I thought."
Gwindor comes to Tol Sirion to propose to Finduilas.
Finduilas is not ready to leave the Halls of Mandos yet.
Níniel needs Finduilas to help her remember a word. Or maybe she just wants to kiss her.
Back in Nargothrond after several seasons on the northern border, Túrin finds himself entangled in Gwindor's personal and political conflicts and comes to a decision about his own future.
Gwindor and Finduilas meet for the last time before he leaves for what would afterwards be called the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

A moment with Finduilas and Níniel.
Finduilas, recovering from her wound among the folk of Brethil, finds a young woman on Haleth's grave-mound, and fate is changed. (Finduilas/Nienor; canon divergence AU.)
After her death, Nienor is found by the ghost of Finduilas, who has been watching over Brethil, and offered a new existence.
(I tagged for suicide and character death to be safe, but the character deaths are all canonical and take place before the beginning of the story.)
Drabbles set during the First and Second Ages of Middle-earth. (Exactly 100 words as counted by MS Word.) Please see table of contents for individual summaries and warnings.
An idea proposed by Túrin leads to uncomfortable conversations.

Another prisoner, regretting he did not join Beren’s quest, tries his best to save her.

Mandos fic madness for Halloween. In the halls of waiting, on the ward of the Ñ-specials, Tyelpe Curufinwion, Fëanorian brat extraordinaire, tells of his coming to Gondolin.
Written for alackofghosts on tumblr whose character design for Tyelpe I have shamelessly stolen. It was her art who made me wonder how this could happen.
