    Summary

    Maeglin is left behind in Nan Elmoth in the year 400 of the First Age. Things still go downhill, because this is Tolkien and nothing is happy. But because this is also Tolkien, things get better.

    Eventually.

    This whole AU was inspired by “Forget and Forgive” by MayLovelies, and beyond that, we’re going wildly off course from canon (though really, what is canon?)

    "I still don't understand why we can't just go to war," said Tulkas. "I'm great at going to war."

    "Someone explain it in small words," said Manwë. "Not you, Námo."

    Better A Holy Discord

    "I still don't understand why we can't just go to war," said Tulkas. "I'm great at going to war."

    "Someone explain it in small words," said Manwë. "Not you, Námo."

    INCREDIBLE!!
    the valar have a private discord server and discuss the catch 22 of the Noldor put them in with Morgoth while also being incredibly fucking funny and real

    Snippets i have gnawed on since my first read:

     

    How is making war against him evil?" demanded Tulkas.
    "Well, it's not," said Nienna, "and we could do that. Except that everything which aids evil, or profits from evil, also ends up serving him. And if we go to war against him now, we would be aiding the Noldor, who would then profit from it. Because they would get to have those fair kingdoms in Middle-earth they were talking about." She looked sad. "And the Noldor aren't evil, exactly—"
    "They did all those murders," said Námo.
    "—apart from all the murders," Nienna said. "The problem is very much the murders."

     

    This is our kinswoman," Ulmo said. "Lúthien's granddaughter. She is terrified. She is in despair. She is alone. And she will drown."
    "Oh—" said Nienna.
    "This is no High-elf," Ulmo said. "She is a child of the Sindar and of Men. She does not know us. We have sent her no prophecies, no instructions, no dreams. We have given her nothing. She has no hope in the West. She has no hope left at all. And so she leapt from darkness into darkness, thinking one could be no worse than the other. Lords of the West, shall she fall unregarded?"
    "Oh no—" whispered Estë.
    "There are not many of the Noldor left in Beleriand now," said Ulmo. "But there are many Sindar, kin to the Teleri, who began the long journey with Oromë, but stayed in Middle-earth for love of their king. And there are Nandor, the Green-elves of Ossiriand, who honour the trees and water-meads. And there are not a few of the Avari, who chose not to follow Oromë, and shall we say that they were wrong? If their Maker had wanted them to wake in Aman, he could have put them here."
    Ulmo looked around at the circle of the Valar. Great was his majesty and deep his thought. No one contradicted him.
    "And there are Men," Ulmo went on, "good Men, who willingly sacrifice the little time they have in this world they love in order to defy the Shadow. And there are bad Men too—bad Men who never had much chance to be anything else, because we did not chain Melkor for their waking. And there are Dwarves in the mountains that Melkor shall root up, and Ents in the woodlands that Melkor shall burn. All of these are suffering, and shall suffer, as long as their Enemy broods in the North of the world. Tell me, my friends, at what point does our inaction become the greater evil?"

    Summary

    [“This just lists one male elfling, aged two years.” Fingon peers over the top of the parchment form dubiously, one brow arched as if inviting Maedhros to let him in on the joke any time now. “I thought you said this was a list of what I’d be getting in Himring’s back taxes.”]

    In which Maedhros gets very creative about paying taxes after the Bragollach destroyed Himring's coffers. Everyone suffers.

    Across the Sea (Series)
    Siadea

    Sauron steals a soul from Mandos and brings it to Númenor. It isn't the same person by the time he's done with it.

    Summary

    “You spent the last years of your life caring for me”. Maeglin took Aredhel’s pale hands, squeezing them tightly. “You aren’t responsible for how those in Gondolin treated me, because you treated me with love. Is it not time for you to live your own life, mother?”

    /

    When Maeglin was re-embodied in Valinor, he was banished from Tirion. In his absence, Aredhel breaks free from her family and seeks him out, eventually finding him. The two live with one another for a while, but Maeglin notices a change in his mother, and decides to address it.
