In Gondolin, Turgon is depressed... A comedy and parody of the Silmarillion with a lot of characters and chapters. Chapter 20: Fear.
“They were right. The Valar were right all along.” Maglor watches Maedhros mourn.
It seems likely that a Maia of Aulë would have been on friendly terms with Mahtan's household. Most of the time.
Curumo and four generations of one family.
Update: Final chapter, "The Spike." Saruman sees Celebrimbor, and possibly wishes he hadn't.
Fingon rescues Maedhros from Thangorodrim.
Maglor learns something new about his musical instruments from a rather unusual creature.
Fingon and Maedhros are young and in love -- with each other and with themselves. A gift for Oshun.
Maedhros opened his eyes and saw a sky full of stars.
[An AU ending to The Noon-tide Night.]
Maglor dreams. He dreams about many things, but this night, he dreams of Nelyo. And of how he ended.
This is a collection of prose by and about Maedhros during his life, highlighting some of the most pivotal moments in his story.
The third Kinslaying was a hideous self-inflicted wound for the elves of Beleriand. With a little common sense and pragmatism, could it have been averted? Or is that asking too much of all parties involved?
I wondered recently if I ever thought of writing a Fingon/Maedhros piece where they made different choices. This was as close as I could get. So, the answer is, I guess I do not have it in me to change their fate. Canon heretic that I am, however, I’ve already changed it plenty to suit my taste—happily ever after in Valinor together after the suffering and unhappy deaths given them in The Silmarillion and their requisite rehab in the Halls of Mandos. It’s the only way I can sleep at night.
This is a gift for Himring, who makes them suffer more than I do.
Maedhros -- and Himring -- welcomes a visit for the season.
"Good morning," he says quietly, without looking at me. No one's said that to me in a long time.
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.

On the eve of his abdication, Maedhros has doubts. Oneshot, horror AU.
Stories about Maedhros and the tribe of Bor:
I Maedhros remembers his encounter with Bor's tribe and the early days of their alliance.
II Now added: After the loss of the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, Bor's granddaughter leads the survivors of her people back into the East.
Maedhros takes in the newly re-embodied Fingon, and some old ghosts refused to be laid to rest.
Request from Winterwitch: “ . . . something about Maedhros and Elrond would be lovely, perhaps of the time when one of the two discovers his respect, admiration, or even fondness of the other. Or Maglor and Elrond in the same situation.”
This is young Elrond's POV in the first hours after Maedhros and Maglor take him and his brother with them from the Havens of Sirion.
Maedhros enchaîné attend sa délivrance... (drabble)
Fingon and Maedhros travel to visit Finrod in Nargothrond with a weighty purpose. Finished! It might be one of the more self-indulgent stories I have written, but I hope entertaining. [And the usual thanks to Ignoble Bard for reading and concrit.]
From the Sacking of Sirion to Amon Ereb; from princes to captives to sons. The story of the unlikely bond between Elrond and Elros and Maglor and Maedhros.
Maedhros defied his father only once. AU.
