Of the Feast of Reuniting at the pools of Ivrin it is said that the joy of that feast was long remembered in later days of sorrow.

Maedhros has been re-embodied and is living in Findekano's house in Tirion. But where is Nerdanel?

Maedhros is suffering from the worst kind of writer's block. In some ways, it turns out, he is not so very different from his mother.

[Now added: a fourth chapter]

Could Amras, son of Feanor, and Haldar, Haleth's brother, have met? 

I think they could--well, in my 'verse, at any rate.

Another glimpse of the early history of the Haladin, also featuring a very young Haleth. 

Written both for the "Strength and Beauty" challenge at SWG and for the Ambarussa day of Feanorian Week (Tumblr), although it features only Amras.

Elros, future King of Numenor, makes the acquaintance of some of his future subjects--and finds out that some traditions that he thought forgotten have survived the drowning of Beleriand.

Finarfin, recently crowned king of the Noldor remaining in Valinor, summons Curufin's wife, because a certain rumour has reached his ears.

Elrond has a posthumous conversation with Maedhros at the time of the Fall of Eregion.

With glimpses of Elros and of the Third Kinslaying.

Now added: The Decision (gapfiller for the main story, Elrond's POV)

Thengel of Rohan and Morwen of Lossarnach had two daughters that were born in Gondor, before Thengel's father died and he returned to Rohan to take up the kingship.

Such a daughter might have found it easy to adjust--or she might not...

After the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, the surviving Easterlings of Ulfang's tribe--although they had ensured Morgoth's victory by attacking their allies, the Elves, without warning-- instead of the reward they had expected, were driven by Morgoth into Dor-lomin where he held them penned. 
But not all of them--some were left behind.

Very short pieces set in Beleriand or Valinor, some of which are slightly experimental.

Now added: Shadowy Cloak (Beren and Luthien, after the fall of Tol-in-Gaurhoth)

Fragments of a letter sent by the wife of Barahir to the High King of the Noldor upon her arrival in Brethil.

Now added: an account of their discovery by Erestor.

During the time of the Siege of Angband, the princes of the Noldor meet once again in council, this time at Tol Sirion. Maedhros has a disturbing conversation with Orodreth, their host. He discusses Orodreth with Fingon, while they take a walk along the river. 

A Christmas present for Alasse--Christmas 2010, that is. Only about two months late,  that's almost punctual, for me... Thank you for the discussion of weather conditions in northern Beleriand, Alasse! 

Maedhros/Fingon. 

Now added: Engineering and Diplomacy (Fingon & Curufin, double drabble)

Drabbles about Annael, Grey Elf of Hithlum:
I. "Because my Land is Fair": Annael refuses to leave Hithlum.
II. "Inspiration": A first meeting between Rian and Annael, just after she has arrived in Hithlum as refugee
III. "Elvish Reminiscences": Annael tells Tuor about his great-grandparents.
IV.: "The Escape Route": Fingon shows Annael the entrance to the Gate of the Noldor.
V. "Under the Stars, in Sunlight": Annael and Tuor talk about the Sun and about elves and men.
VI. "Defeat": Annael in the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. 
VII. "Leaf Loss": Annael, after all, ends up leaving Hithlum.

The first sighting of Gil-Estel by the Sons of Feanor.

Slightly canon-divergent.

There is a scene in "Children of Hurin" in which Turin watches Fingon ride over the bridge near his home.
I believe, in canon, this is meant to be about Elves being remote and elusive--but, personally, I can't image Fingon on that bridge in white and silver with his knights unless he were actually dropping in to visit Hurin (or Morwen), even if it was on the way to somewhere else.
So--in my Gloom cycle--he does visit Hurin. ( Turin, I suppose, may be just too young to be in on most of the proceedings.)
Now, maybe Rian was there, too--and what more natural than that, as a maker of songs, she would make a song to welcome him?
And this bit of song here would have sounded a lot better when Rian herself sang it to the tune she had made up--all spontaneously, of course!

Who will fetch forth Turin to the fight, as the Dagor Dagorath approaches?

Written for Kenaz for the "Around the Fire" Challenge.

Two (female) Sindar before the return of Morgoth from Valinor--one of them looking back on that time.

Short pieces that are not true drabbles and are part of my Maedhros series.

Now added: Fingon Toasts the Stars (free verse)

Uncanonical take on Caranthir's canonical wife: in my 'verse she is not an elf.
(No, not Haleth--and not a dwarf either, although I like that version.)

Emlinn, a Sinda, becomes Maglor's student and experiences the end of the Siege of Angband and the Battle of Sudden Flame.

Now added: Bonus chapter: Like a Friendly Touch Among the Crowd (ft. Elrond).

Illustrated by Alasse for B2MeM 2012: see link at end of Chapter Two!

Kindly nominated for MEFAs 2011 by Angelica. It won a Honorable Mention in the category "Elves: House of Finwë" and a Smaug's Treasure award.

Two pieces featuring Findis, eldest daughter of Finwe, and her choices after the Darkening.

I. A Season on Taniquetil (Findis, Fingon; quadrabble)

II. The Hermit (Findis, Finarfin)
