Tolkien Meta Week Starts December 8!
Join us December 8-14, here and on Tumblr, as we share our thoughts, musings, rants, and headcanons about all aspects of Tolkien's world.
A short character study of a youthful Elrond and a reflection on an aspect of his relationship with Maedhros and Maglor; in response to Day 26 of the B2MeM challenge. The prompt is: “a teacher who played a key role . . . . write a character who educated his people in some way.”
50 Prompts resulting in 50 AU Silmarillion based or related drabbles or ficlets.
Ambarussa is afraid of fire to this day. There were four instances in life that made him fear.
After the death of Feanor, Celebrimbor confronts Maedhros about the Oath.
Maglor on the beach: a set of three drabbles about Maglor by three different authors.
Fëanor tells Melkor to get off his lawn. An imagined passage from the Noldolantë of Maglor.
An evil winter has come upon Mithrim, and it is Makalaurë's responsibility to look out for his brothers – in particular for Curufin, who is nursing a strange remnant of their father.
Written for the MPTT Yule Fic Exchange, for Iavalir.
Maglor realizes he has become a legend among albatrosses.
Written at the request of Moetushie-–in the form of a comment fic on her LJ. Not much of a plot, simply Fingon and Maedhros sitting in a room at the top of Himring Hill Castle K-I-S-S-I-N-G. With a Beta read by Ignoble Bard and with some serious help from him in closing it--on the co-writing credit: he wrote the last sentence; I edited it lightly. (Without him, I probably couldn't write at all, too fraught with self doubt.)
In the far distant future, Maglor returns to Valinor.
Fingon and Maedhros, in space and what they did there.
A brief moment between cousins and friends at one of Tirion's many festivals.
In the bliss of Valinor in the Years of the Trees, Maglor plays a new song for Aredhel and Celegorm. It is mainly about the suffering of the artist unappreciated by the Philistines closest to him. Oh, yes, I like these two cousins together also. Tolkien hooked me when he said of Aredhel, “There she was often in the company of the sons of Fëanor, her kin; but to none was her heart's love given.” Ah, I see. But it could have been. Then he sends her later on to leave Gondolin, set upon visiting Celegorm. Obviously, they were wildly infatuated with one another in their youth. The story is still Gen Fic at its heart.
Finally finding Maglor after searching for so long, Gildor next turns his attention to healing the once great elf minstrel.
Because he prayed for this, and wanted.
He sought to make visible again the family which was torn from him.
Nellas's fate after the Fall of Doriath.
The paths of Nellas and Maglor cross, by the sea.
Under the roof of misfortune, an elven lord and a servant unite in their love, against the customs of the Eldar. But their bond is entangled in the curse of the once-respected family, and the slightest move out of line could cost them both.
To die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckier.
Fingon and Maedhros, in a different war. AU, certainly.
Following the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the sons of Fëanor wandered in the woods of Ossiriand. Maglor and Maedhros travel together, recovering from their physical wounds and slowly succumbing to their emotional ones. Maedhros/Fingon. Dark.
A series of fanfiction involving Amras and the elements.
The kinslaying at Doriath from different perspectives. After the battle, two children are lost, two hearts are broken, two people are at fault.
