Apsalante

by Inksinger

The House of Finwë don't often gather together for family dinners. When they do, it's best to avoid the resulting chaos altogether. Inspired by art by tumblr user givenclarity, and written in response to their sort-of-an-open request for fic involving Mahtan and Finwë interacting and being unhelpful granddads. The title and some dialogue are taken from or based off of their picture.

A New Brother A New

by eris_of_imladris

After the birth of Nolofinwë, Fëanor seeks another home. I can add more if people want, I know what happens next, but at the moment it's a two-shot :)This fic is inspired by the premise of this story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11690364/chapters/26318286 (Credit: silvertrails) combined with one of my favorite literary tropes, King Incognito.

Companions on a Quest

by Oshun

Basically a story of Fëanor and Nerdanel meeting and beginning to fall for one another. But, secondarily, a story of Mahtan's household and his relationship with his apprentices, featuring his wife also. Written for SWG Hero’s Journey Challenge – May-June 2017 – submitting this one to meet the deadline, although I would very much like to expand and continue the story. It should have been much longer, but I met all of the required prompts. I've enjoyed working in this world I have begun to build. I love the characters and the backstory I created, seventy percent of which I am not able to use in this short story--due to lack of time and organizational skills (!! we won't talk about chronic writers' block). I hope readers can enjoy it as a stand-alone, but I definitely will return! I am (maddeningly perhaps) leaving my full cast at the end of the story as a teaser.Many thanks to IgnobleBard for his careful Beta and putting up with a formidable amount of b.s. and dysfunctionality!
