New Challenge: Epic 80s
This month's challenge features hundreds of fresh prompts from the bodacious decade of the 1980s.

After the Dagor Aglareb, Fingon has a secret, and Maedhros has a confession to make...
Written for My Slashy Valentine 2018 as a gift for Fadesintothewest, who requested a Maedhros/Fingon story. Thanks for giving me the excuse!
Many thanks to the wonderful Ignoble Bard for beta-reading.

Nerdanel realizes her true feelings for Fëanor at a gathering ball. Based on a headcanon lent to me by firsthousepacifist.

Andreth is sick and Aegnor tries to help. They both repress their feelings with varying success.

Edrahil comforts Finrod on the march to Thangorodrim...
(for My Slashy Valentine on AO3)

Anairë visits the house of Mahtan to see the sights of Tirion. Nerdanel is enchanted.

Daeron questions Lúthien’s use of magic and simultaneously feels attracted to her for the first time.

Fëanor beyond Time in the Halls of Mandos
Nerdanel in Aman

A Hero's Journey Matryoshka challenge story, featuring the head gardener of Indis' home in Vanyamar.
Set in Aman, post War of Wrath, when the arrival of Indis and Findis turn the lives of the household upside down - and leads one maiden to lose her heart to another.

Nerdanel is very bad at feelings, and Fëanor shows her soemthign he's made.

Celebrimbor and Narvi meet, plan a city and build a life together.
Written for Tolkien Secret Santa 2017, for Rogercat, who wanted a sweet moment between Celebrimbor & a female Narvi and ended up with four moments and a rather longer story than intended - sorry! :-) [thanks to Raiyana for beta-reading.]

Fingolfin visits Fëanor in Mahtan's forge, which annoys the latter greatly, as he just wants to stealthily stare at Nerdanel.

Fëanor and Nerdanel go and see the sky and stuff.

Nerdanel deals with emotions, and Fëanor teaches her how to fight.

Nerdanel wears a dress, Fëanor is really chill about it, and they practice some....stuff.

I am going to use this space for my contributions: meta, notes, links to stories, and to artwork. Rating will be teens or lower.

The Drowning of Nûmenor is felt all over Middle-Earth.

Nerdanel has a surpiring premonition. She definitely does not have a crush on Fëanor though.

Some moments can still tell a full story.

It was a legend among the Sindar. It was said that Tilion loved Arien, but Arien did not love Tilion. Struggling with the pain of love unmet, Tilion implored to the Valar on behalf of all who were like him: let the lonely ones find a way to ease the ache, and help all who were left alone to find someone of their own.
(Glorfindel/Erestor)

A collection of one-shots based on random word prompts.
(Glorfindel/Erestor)

As had now become his habit, Glorfindel strode in to Erestor's office with nary a knock or warning, and proclaimed: "I told Celegwen that we are together."
Erestor looked up from his work. "The persistent archer?" he asked placidly, despite the fact that he and Glorfindel were most definitely not, to his knowledge, together. "I see. What did she say?"
...or the five times Erestor let them pretend to be a couple, and the one time that they didn't.

It was love at first sight, certainly. Glorfindel only wondered that it took him this long to find himself in that moment - past three ages in a land so changed, looking up at a stranger standing at a balcony.
(Glorfindel/Erestor)

A young Fëanor goes to great lengths to "accidentally' meet Nerdanel on one of her journeys.

When Celebrimbor is summoned by Annatar to his workshop late one night, he immediately grows suspicious, all the more when he finds the door locked. He imagines the worst, but the truth is nothing like what he thought.
Warning for: lots of science, chemistry, world-building (Eregion/Gwaith-i-Mírdain), more science
