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.

Life, Like a Face Between Your Palms by gaydhros

Fingon understood that hope was a choice. It was careful and deliberate, and it was hard, and the times when having hope seemed the most impossible were the times one had to choose it over and over again, every second of every day. This was the fundamental truth at the core of Fingon’s beliefs, the centre around which he understood the world and his place in it.

Very seldom did he waver in this conviction more than he did in the months following the Dagor Bragollach.

***

Fingon inherits the crown. Maedhros comes to Barad Eithel in the hour of his grief. Together, they figure out a way to move forward.
