Unwell

by Drag0nst0rm

It's not that they're not happy that Maglor's been brought back to the Undying Lands. It's just that they're a little concerned about the fact that he's been taken into the house of someone he once kidnapped, and that no one's seen Maglor since.

The Last Ember

by EirianErisdar

For seven thousand years, Nerdanel lived alone in the great, empty house that once rang with the sound of hammer on anvil and the laughter of seven sons. Now Fëanor and his sons, newly pardoned, have been rebodied - but how does one resolve seven millennia of heartbreak and bitterness? Nerdanel and Fëanor, and the rekindling of their first, flickering flame. Compliant to events of The Ransom of the House of Fëanor, but can be read entirely separately.

Even the Very Wise

by bunn

Nerdanel and Lalwen in Tol Eressëa at the start of the Fourth Age, discussing kinslaying, family, art and history, are joined by Galadriel who has recently returned from Middle-earth after the Ban of the Valar that prevented her from returning was finally lifted. They eat cake and discuss Gil-galad's parentage. Later, Nerdanel makes a decision.   “I am sure this is the reason that they called her Nerdanel the Wise,” Galadriel said to Lalwen. “It took me ages of the world to realise that being a queen would be a fearful nuisance.”

Try Try Again

by SpaceWall

Nerdanel returns to Tirion, in the wake of Sauron’s near civil war, and attempts to mend the relationships she left behind when Fëanor went into exile.--Nerdanel, standing in the entry hall alone, gazing upon walls bare of their tapestries, felt rather like lighting a candle in memory of what had been. But she was an eminently practical person, and so instead she went and found rags and buckets and brooms, and began to clean.
