Marry Me by Susana_R

Fingon has avoided his best friend and lover ever since Maedhros was Reborn a decade ago. As Fingon can’t ever imagine forgiving Maedhros for the Kinslayings, avoiding him seems like the kindest course of action. 

Oddly enough, Earendil the Mariner and his wife Elwing have forgiven Maedhros. Earendil has even invited Maedhros to join his crew in advance of an expected Void monster incursion. Since Fingon refuses to miss out on the fun of monster fighting, he decides he'll just have to ignore Maedhros during the voyage.

Fingon did not expect for his heart to nearly stop when Maedhros recklessly volunteered himself as a monster distraction.  In the wake of this development, Fingon realizes that he has forgiven Maedhros enough to still be in love with him.

It follows logically that Fingon should ask Maedhros to marry him. As Fingon has never once in his life hesitated after he’s decided what ought to be done, he proposes immediately.  

Unfortunately for Fingon, Maedhros firmly believes that Fingon is better off without him. 

Fortunately for Fingon, he's always been able to out-stubborn Maedhros.

Strangers in a Strange Land by starshadeemily

After ten thousand years in the Halls of Mandos, Feanor and Fingolfin are reembodied into a Valinor that looks the same, but is now wholly different from the world they left behind—and they too, have been irreversibly changed. But the methods used by Mandos to heal them have had the opposite effect, and Fingolfin, the warrior of the Elder Days, grows restless, melancholic, and soon depressed in the land of milk and honey. The solution to his ills? Another unwinnable war with Feanor and a new, sordid sexual affair culminating in violence. 

An exploration of the complexities (and horrors) of reembodiment, how the reembodied elf relates to his new body and the world around him, how the corrective arts of Mandos may psychologically harm those subjected to them, and the consequences of trapping a hardened soldier in Paradise.

All His Evil Deeds by reindeer_pizza

When Thangorodrim was broken and Morgoth overthrown, Sauron put on his fair hue again and did obeisance to Eönwë, the herald of Manwë, and abjured all his evil deeds.

But instead of leaving once again, Sauron was taken to Valinor by Eönwë and put on trial by the Valar. The punishment he faces is more than he bargained for.

Slain at Swanhaven by annarobots

But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me, 
What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

The Lord of the Rings, Galadriel’s Song

After Alqualondë, Artanis looks only forward. There is no returning.  Not even the curse and prophecy spoken by the dark figure standing high upon a rock could compel her to retrace her steps in sorrow.  Neither the betrayal and abandonment by the faithless Fëanáro and his sons, the ships that vanished into the unmeasured night.  She will not turn back, defeated, begging the Valar’s pardon.

Respite by Augustine

Amathorn’s life has always been full. As Gil-galad’s chief guard since his childhood on the Isle of Balar there was no way for it not to be. He never found romantic love, and that never bothered him, he was busy.

When he feels the call West half a millennium after Gil-galad’s death, he assumes this must mean that he is to be released from the Halls of Mandos and re-embodied soon, and goes to him gladly. This does not turn out to be the case however, and instead, he crosses paths with a beautiful Teleri artist. Amathorn has lived for over four and a half thousand years. He has never felt like this before. Oh no.

Written for Aspec Arda Week 2025 featuring a demisexual grey-aro OC, and aroace Gil-galad!

At the Dawn of Their Living Time by Fuin

As the Noldor prepare for war, Morgoth devises a new horror against which sword and shield are of no use. The Evil Breath brings death and grief to Hithlum, and neither the Elvish arts of healing nor the authority of the High King can keep the lives of the Edain from being swept away like wafts of mist. Where there was laughter in the summer, mourning remains in winter.
