In the far distant future, Maglor returns to Valinor.

B2ME Day 11 - Sacrifices to achieve peace.  A surprise action by Artanis ensures peace on a family vacation.  

Maglor is in the British trenches in WW1, and he gets to meet a certain young officer with a liking for ancient mythology.

What I was not going to write, but did:

Down.   What Maedhros thought as he jumped.

Out. Up. Fingon takes Maedhros home to Tirion after his reincarnation. Finarfin insists on confronting him.  Told from different points of view (Fingon, Finarfin and, briefly, Maedhros).

Now illustrated by Alasse!

Finrod Felagund is rather more hopeful than his sister Galadriel.

A re-mix of Galadriel's Namarie (the English version), supposed to be spoken by Finrod.

It is up to the reader to decide who he is addressing.

In Mandos, Namo wrestles with the temptation to cast Maedhros into the Outer Darkness.

With a vignette of Finrod and Celegorm and a couple of thoughts on Luthien.

Warning: High levels of angst.

Very generously nominated for the MEFAs 2011 by Elleth; it won Third Place in the category: "Cross-Cultural: Elder Days".

A conversation between Fingon and Maedhros, after Finrod’s death.

AU. After the War of Wrath, Maglor surrenders to Eönwë. Nominated in the 2009 MEFAs.

In Mithrim, during Maedhros’s time of recovery, Maglor appears one evening at Fingolfin’s camp and asks Fingon to return to Maedhros’s side. On his way back to the Feanorian camp, Fingon remembers the incident that made him stay away. When he finally reaches his cousin, it turns out that there was something Maglor had failed to mention.

With a vignette of Fingon on the quays of Alqualonde.

Warnings for aftermath of torture (Thangorodrim) and violence (Alqualonde) as per canon.

(Fingon/Maedhros; not explicit)

This was inspired by Jenny Dolfen’s lovely painting of Nerdanel and Maedhros called “Forgiveness.” The artist and I interpret the canon slightly differently. I call mine “Nothing To Forgive.”

Findekáno's fingers, rough and calloused (but never as rough as his skin, never as worn and tan as five years of hanging on a mountain make you), trace his bare arm. He knows this because he can see him doing it. He cannot feel it. Maedhros/Fingon

I had half a mind to throw your letter in the fire and let you wait another few months. After all, I told myself, he has waited thirty-four years. Surely he can wait a little more.

Fingon and Maglor correspond as Maedhros heals. Warning for descriptions of torture and mentions of rape.

 Glorfindel's first meeting with Idril's grandson.

MEFA 2008  Races: Elves: House of Elrond: Third Place

Why did Glorfindel return to Middle-earth? Maybe the Valar decided they needed a messenger. Maybe he felt he still had something to do there and begged them to let him return. Or maybe it went something like this...

It's the early Second Age and Idril is worried about her grandsons. In the course of this she waylays new arrivals to Valinor, tries to find her footing with her own grandmother, schemes with Tuor, Finrod and Glorfindel, and finally sets a plan into motion.

Maedhros want to die on Thangorodrim, Fingon won't let him.
