New Challenge: Title Track
Tolkien's titles range from epic to lyrical to metaphorical. This month's challenge selected 125 of them as prompts for fanworks.

Sauron accepts Gil-galad's challenge of single combat to end the siege of Barad-dur.

At Cuiviénen, Ingwë discusses his reasons for accepting Oromë's invitation to visit Aman and what he thinks the outcome will be with his sister. In Valinor, he learns how accurate those expectations were.
(Or: in which Ingwë knowingly walks into a trap and what comes of it.)

A year into the crossing of the Helcaraxë, Finrod speculates about seal poets, Fingon inventively replaces his worn-out harp strings, and Aredhel gets drunk. In the meantime, Galadriel makes out with her new boyfriend, bonds with her favorite brother, and does battle with the Queen of the Ice Bears.

Seven sons had Fëanáro and Nerdanel, even after they had ended their marriage.

This poor Elf is crying about his home which disappeared forever for the lands covered with water after the War of Wrath.

Feelings of Fingon's wife. He leaves for his last battle.

A series of short drabbles exploring the life of Nerdanel after she moved away from Feanor.

A conversation between two Elves.

Maglor meets a stranger on the beach and makes some important discoveries. Written for Indy for the 2013 edition of Fandom Stocking.

A young Macalaure reveals that he has more in common with his mother than she would like, and together they encounter fear in the quiet of Telperion's light.

For Lizzie who wanted an elfling Lindir giving Glorfindel a shove to get him to approach Erestor on this strange mortal holiday of “Valentine’s Day”.

An unexpected encounter in Menegroth. (drabble, english and french versions)

Maedhros avoue son secret à Maglor... en alexandrins ! Juste un détournement d'une scène de la pièce d'Edmond Rostand.

Fingon let himself look at his cousin, really look, for the first time in decades. He was strong and tall and proud and yet so different than the way he'd been all those things before. Different, and strange. Fingon felt as though he barely knew him anymore; but he wanted to.

A commissioned statue of Indis turns into much more in Nerdanel's studio. A story written to try a genre I've never written before - in this case, femmeslash.

The story of how Fingon comes to learn that Maedhros does indeed return his feelings, though he has to go through some angst to get there. Maglor is there to sing his way through stories as he always does, but as is for Maglor, his story is the one we are left waiting for.

It had been via certain unknown methods that Melkor had created the Orcs during the first age within the pits of Utumno.

Maedhros' double heritage... Drabble, english and french.

During the transition to Gondolin, Aredhel finds she is not the only one with doubts. (Written for Elleth at the 2013 Yule Fic exchange)

Namo confronts a newly dead Elf.

An insight into one doomed and forsaken in the void.

Instead of Morgoth, they released Míriel. It's only sightly less tragical.

So, how did Glorfindel of Gondolin make his (posthumous) way to Middle-earth in order to become Glorfindel of Rivendell? The relevant canon is full of uncertainties and contradictions.
I like to think it might have happened as follows...

A drabble series written for Tolkien Weekly's "Trees" challenge, centered around the beginning of the Second Age.
