Whatever You Say, Ace by Isilme_among_the_stars
Fanwork Notes
Warnings: This story includes a male pregnancy (of a cis character) and though there is no outright discrimination the main characters queerplatonic relationship is frequently misread or misunderstood by other characters.
Character names:
Maedhros = Maitimo, Nelyo, & Russandol
Maglor = Makalaurë & Káno
Celegorm = Tyelkormo & Tyelko
Caranthir = Moryo
Fingon = Findekáno & Finno
Turgon = Turukáno
Fingolfin = Nolofinwë
Aredhel = Írisse
Nutunto and Etsenima are both names of my own creation as neither Fingon or Maglor’s wives are given names in canon. These mean ‘beneath notice’ and ‘forgettable’ in Quenya respectively, which is a little dig at Rúmil who presumably did not record them when recording the histories.
Eldarin words:
Nutunto – beneath notice
Etsenima – forgettable
Atar – father
Atya – dad
Nér/neri – Male elf/elves (Quenya)
Nís/nissi – Female elf/elves (Quenya)

Násie – amen / let it be so
Yermë – sexual desire
Melmë – love
Melotorno – love-brother (a very close friend that one loves deeply without any sexual desire or wish for procreation)

Summary:
Everyone, including the Valar, are convinced that Fingon and Maedhros are lovers no matter how many times they explain that they very much are not. When will they get it through their thick skulls that there are other ways to love and be committed to someone? Apparently not soon enough. When the Valar decide to involve Maedhros and Fingon in their meddling, it leads to some interesting circumstances.
