Written for Gondolin week day 2
Théomund, Prince of Ithilien, has spent his life building a strong defense, caging his heart and coping with more challenges than most; always afraid to let another come in too close. Thalon, Legolas’ second-in-command, has seen Ages more, yet he too has resigned himself to being alone. One day, fate brings them together in a way neither can expect. What the fëa wants cannot be denied, yet courage, even for a warrior, is a difficult thing to muster.
After the War of Wrath, Finarfin rules in Tirion and Findis is left adrift, her former occupations no longer filling her days. Instead, she journeys with Indis to her house in the countryside, hoping that she might aid her remaining parent in staying just that - remaining to her.
What she finds there?
Well, not quite what was expected, but perhaps there is hope yet for her; small spots of brightness fighting against the sorrow of her house.
And flowers.
Lots of flowers.
Warning for many Findis feels.
A series of misadventures has left Galadriel in disgrace; Finarfin thinks a summer with Olwë might help his daughter find her way. After all: nothing exciting ever happens in Alqualondë. A story of questionable fashion choices, growing up, and finding one's place.

Níniel needs Finduilas to help her remember a word. Or maybe she just wants to kiss her.

Young and in love, Nerdanel and Fëanor investigate the reality behind the Ainulindalë.
A tale of love and betrayal and frankly ridiculous amounts of law-breaking and general questionable activities which include (but aren't limited to): investigating the criminal gang that your ex-boyfriend now seems to help head, shameless flirting with your own step-cousin, making out with coworkers in the back rooms of your work place, and the terrible decision to liken a crime drama to a game of Snakes and Ladders.
The non-coffee shop themed rewrite of Six Shots of Espresso and a Packet of Lovehearts, now with 100% more Riverdale-scale self-indulgent drama. Featuring:

- Fingon, a university dropout just trying to keep his lifeguarding career afloat.

- Daeron, a foreign vocalist with a dark past.
When Fëanor realize the truth about his son's realtionship with his cousin he tries to break the two apart by forcing Maedhros into a marriage. What he fails to realize is that he by doing this is introducing an innocent third person into the family, a young nis who does firmly believe that this will be the end of everything. How can she survive when hearts turn dark and cold and the light itself is stolen from them. Can she ever find true love? And will the truth about her unusual life ever be revealed?
