Of the Fountain
by thatdamnuchiha
Before she was Ecthelien she was someone else, but that didn’t matter. Her new parents loved her and all her strange ways. Everything was peaceful, everything was content. It didn’t matter that everyone had been expecting her to be a boy. It didn’t matter that she was going to be called Ecthelion if that’d been the case.At least until she played in a fountain one day.At least until one of the elves watching her jokingly called her Ecthelien of the Fountain.At least until she remembered everything.[on hiatus]

The Proudest Creation
by SpaceWall
Like all great craftsmen Fëanor put his soul into his work. Now, he must live with the consequences of that decision, and so, too, must his children. And their children, too. “I hate you,” Maglor told him, tears streaming down his face, “I wish I had never been your son.”Maedhros, usually the family peacemaker, could not find it in him to blunt Maglor’s sharp tongue.

Remember

She sees him in her dreams – a golden-haired figure in a white city, the names they call each other long forgotten. Anna thinks nothing of it. They’re just dreams, and dreams have no purpose messing with reality.Until they do.

Anekdota (A secret history of Ereinion Gil-Galad)
by Dorkangel
Maedhros son of Fëanor aids in the rescue of a thrall child, a boy with bright eyes like shining little stars.The Peredhel twins recognise something in High King Gil-Galad: a particular left-handed style to his swordfighting, a sharp tactical mind, a suppressed Fëanorian accent.A fiery spirit in the Halls of Mandos greets a stranger as a grandson.And in Valinor, Fingolfin son of Finwë finds that the imposter prince who had claimed descent from Fingon resembles his brother far more than his son...

Children of the Lost

Maglor didn't plan any of this. It just sort of . . . happened.

Star of Doriath
by SpaceWall
There has only been one elf, in all of history, so blessed by Mandos as to be reborn onto the shores of Beleriand. Lúthien has the one thing in the world he wants the most, and all she needs to know is how. It should be an easy arrangement, really. Stands alone in an AU where Maedhros died on Thangorodrim, but didn’t stay that way.

Long Are the Waves
by Grond
Elrond has his own, strange quest to embark upon before leaving Middle-earth. He has not seen his foster father in thousands of years. Though Maglor is said to wander by the sea, no one has heard any news of him in an Age. Elrond does not seek to find or destroy any object, powerful or otherwise. What he wants is both more simple and more complex: to take his father with him, or wish him farewell. He does not know if Maglor can be found, but that will not stop him from making the attempt. The lonely shores call to him, and so does a song in the distance...Written for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2020, this work is a collaboration, based on this illustration by mallornblossom (now felixwhetsel).

Making History
by electroniccollectiondonut
The greatest of the living Eldar is dying. In attempting to remedy this, the Lords and Ladies of the Valar end up with rather more of a mess than they're prepared to deal with. The subjects of this tremendous disaster don't have the luxury of time to sort things out, so they take matters into their own hands. Fortunately, they're both rather good at throwing Eru's plans back in his face when it suits them.

Gil-Galad doesn’t mind watching his parents fight, at least then he knows he has parents.

A Candle for the Hollow
by lordnelson100
About the Nauglamír and the other side of the story. Of culture clash, betrayal, and lost art.#“Do you know, Gimli, I would be happy to hear about your people’s memory of the Great Necklace, and the terrible dispute that led to the sack of Doriath. It was a tragedy of deep import."Gimli grew serious; he sat up and looked at Elrond for a long moment with grave, dark eyes. “Forgive me, Lord Elrond, but I don’t think you would. Be happy, I mean, when you heard our account of the thing."

Quenta Narquelion
by bunn
"...[Fëanor] died; but he had neither burial nor tomb, for so fiery was his spirit that as it sped his body fell to ash, and was borne away like smoke; and his likeness has never again appeared in Arda, neither has his spirit left the halls of Mandos." What if his spirit has never left the halls of Mandos because it never went there in the first place?Fëanor, dead, watches the First Age unfold, and his children endure. A detailed account of Maedhros and Maglor's time on the Eastern Front of the War of Wrath, with Elrond and Elros growing up. [Thanks to pp for beta reading]
