They were former outlaws who under the leadership of Turin and Beleg, the Elf from Doriath, turned to fight against the Shadow in the North. It was more of an idea, really, than a homeland--or a period of time, too short to call an era--but they gave it the name of Dor-Cuarthol, the Land of Helm and Bow.
Those former outlaws--Algund was one of them. He and Beleg had something in common, but there was more that divided them from each other.

Market day in Tirion--and a flash mob, with many of the usual suspects.

After the early victory against Morgoth called the "Glorious Battle" (Dagor Aglareb):

I. The Fingolfinians and the Feanorians first encounter each other after their shared victory.

II.  Later, at the victory celebrations, Fingon misses his cousin Maglor and seeks him out.

Young Maedhros, baby Maglor and a drawing.

Now added: a sequel about Nerdanel, her elder son and the lost drawing (Kingfisher in Flight)

Despite her physical disability, a woman crosses Beleriand to assist a fellow victim. She has help on the way.

On the Ice, Lalwen makes a disturbing observation...
A crack solution (pun intended) to the problem of some of Tolkien's missing women. Crossover.

An attempt at interior decoration leads to something else.

Now added: "Did the Earth Move...?" (another ficlet set in Valinor)

Maedhros negotiates with Azaghal and accepts his offer of a dragon-proof helmet for Fingon. Fingon turns out to be less than enthusiastic about Maedhros's gift.

My take on the early history of the Dragon Helm of Dor-lomin.

Now added: Bonus drabble: A Matter of Helmets (Maedhros & Azaghal, gen)

Drabble sequence written for bird prompts: various kinds of cross-overs between the Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings and/or The Hobbit.

1) Swan: Galadriel & Celeborn; 2) Thrush: Celegorm, Caranthir, Bard; 3) Raven: Caranthir, Dain; 4) Nightingale: Arwen, Daeron; 5) Eagle: Landroval, Meneldor.

The birds get their own say in some, but not all of the drabbles.

Plus: "In Neldoreth, in Spring": Galadriel & Celeborn and a nightingale

A sequence of eight drabbles spanning the history of Numenor, with a particular focus on the period of Aldarion.

Two extremely different takes on Turgon's refusal to leave Gondolin.

Now added: another crack fic, this time also featuring Tuor!

(ii) The Turgon Dilemma (crack fic)

(iii) On Not Leaving Gondolin (again) (crack fic)

The future of her ladies-in-waiting becomes a counter in the marital conflict between Tar-Ancalime and her estranged husband Hallacar. Hallacar shames Tar-Ancalime into permitting them to marry. We are allowed to assume that they all were unreservedly grateful for this opportunity. But were they?

Now added: A second chapter from Ancalime's POV for the International  Day of Femslash: Loss All Around

Before the throne of Angband, Sauron makes his application for the job of lieutenant to Morgoth, the Dark Lord. For reasons unknown and unexplained (possibly just to make things appropriately hellishly difficult) the application has to be made in rhyme...

Short Pieces about Morwen and Rian.

Now added: A Merry Feast: Morwen & Hurin, before and after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad

The Sindar have found out about the Kinslaying in Alqualonde and that Fingon was involved. Not a good time for Fingon, even though the Sindar have decided that he is less to blame than the Sons of Feanor--especially as Maedhros remains in the Marches and the cousins are communicating only by letter.

Fingon and Maedhros en route on their way to visit Hurin in Dor-lomin.

Oderen, a traveling woodcarver, one of Cirdan's people, and Emlinn, his musician wife, happen to arrive in Maglor's Gap just a short time before the outbreak of the Battle of Sudden Flame. Maglor encounters Emlinn and takes her on as his student.

Elrond receives Elros's last letter.

Fingon on his way to Himring--and in Himring--and on his way back.

The Feanorians have retreated to Amon Ereb after the Fall of Doriath. The first night after their arrival, they assemble in the hall, waiting for Maglor to play for them.

Includes a flashback to Maglor's encounter with Daeron at the Mereth Aderthad.
