Colour now has returned to him. His cheeks and nose are pink with the early morning chill, his grey eyes are bright, and he is well enough to manage daily walks along the lakeshore with Fingon, a few dawn-quiet moments stolen together before the rest of camp wakes.

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.

Fingon clapped the stranger on the shoulder as he cheerfully informed Maedhros, "Fealasso here is the captain of your bodyguards. They will keep you safe during the community service you’ve volunteered to do in Alqualonde and Tol Eressea.” 

Maedhros closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose as he struggled for patience. 

Or, Fingon outmaneuvers Maedhros. It’s for his own good, of course.

He kisses Finrod again when the serious expression does not lighten. Twists them and presses Finrod down into the bed, kissing him hard and deep until he's gone completely boneless beneath Curufin. He has the brief, mad thought that perhaps if he is still kissing Finrod when the next day begins, then maybe that will be enough to stop the constant unsinging.

By the gods he wishes it were that fucking simple.

Fingolfin is, at best, half-sure of how exactly he has ended up in the predicament he is currently in. Knows that it is, of course, Fëanor’s fault.

No matter that it is a new age, it is still, somehow, always Fëanor’s fault.

Though, of all the situations that Fëanor has led him into, this is by far the most benign, if not the most confusing.

“What are you doing here?" Tyelpe hisses, face mere inches from Sauron's own, eyes almost painfully dark without the light of the trees shining in them. It sends a pang of loss through his chest, and he knows it is his own fault that the light is gone, but he had not thought to ever have to deal with the consequences. Had not thought he would ever have to look Tyelpe in the face and acknowledge what he’d done.

"I wanted to see you," he says, voice sounding strange to his own ears.

The first time Curufin kisses Finrod, it is to provoke.

There is no deeper meaning to it. Only a cousin with a pleasant smile and mild words; only Curufin's unending need to break things and a violence that has been hanging from his fists since they stepped into these caves.

He expects Finrod to reel back with disgust, expects him to be scandalized, to be offended, to narrow his eyes, maybe even to threaten. He does not expect for Finrod's mouth to open beneath his, Finrod's hands coming up to fist in his robes and pull him close. He bites at Finrod's lip savagely, and Finrod bites harder, smiling into the kiss when copper bursts bright between them.

It really only continues escalating from there.

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.

"Move farther north," Caranthir says to her a month after the attack, gaze steady on her even as his hands continue briskly gutting fish. "There is plenty of land closer to my fortress, and my people can help protect yours if there is another attack."

Haleth looks up from her own fish, frowning a bit at the sight he makes. Even after a month, she hasn't grown used to the sight of this elvish prince so casually working with the rest of them. She opens her mouth to refuse, proud of her people and their independence, having no desire to be indebted to anyone, but the words catch in her throat as she meets his eyes. She thinks treacherously of his mouth against the inside of her wrist, and what comes out instead is, "How close to your keep are you trying to drag us? And what is the cost?"

Or: Caranthir asks and Haleth agrees. This does not mean they were prepared for what follows.
