Once Upon A Time And Long Ago by AdmirableMonster

When the twins' fathers finally leave them to go after the Silmarils, Elros and Elrond decide they don't deserve to be orphaned a second time.

But dark things are stirring in Valinor, and the twins are told to tread lightly, lest they unweave their very existence.

Can they find a way to save their fathers and return to their own time, or will it all play out the same way and end in fire?

Tyrant Spells by Independence1776

After an ambush by Morgoth’s army destroys the Fëanorian camp, the survivors seek refuge in the Havens. This is the aftermath, both immediate and later.

This is a dark AU (but not hopeless or grimdark), so the entire series functions under the "Choose Not to Warn" banner because I suspect I'd miss a warning if I attempted to list them all. The first story contains a ton of off-screen character death, on-screen suicide-by-battle, and no good answers. The rest of the series may have references to and graphic descriptions of torture.

This series is complete.
