From the Tower of the Well by Littlewhitemouse
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

Summary
“It’s as soft as dew and as gentle as morning here at the head,” said the crown prince, strokes of soft light from the high windows of the great hall rising to meet his cheeks, brushing over his head, and slipping from his shoulders like warm sun-showers. “You can take off your shoes and walk across it on bare feet. It’s cold, very cold, but it will barely splash above your ankles. It’s wonderful to walk across so mighty a water on your feet; in the south Sirion roars and crashes such that sometimes even a boat cannot cross. But you know that, you are a son of the river.”

Bookmarker's Notes
A love song to Beleriand, and indeed the fragile wonders of life, with a fascinating and deep take on Fingon and Ereinion both. The ship-tag works very subtly and well without ever being over-done.

Summary
“Aha!” Csethiro sat up, displacing him somewhat abruptly. “Thou dost admit it, then!”
“Admit what?” said Maia bewilderedly, trying to sit up—
“That ‘tis my job to hate people on thy behalf,” said Csethiro magnificently, with a rather intense look in her eye that Maia did not entirely trust, even if he did rather like it.
“I did not… quite say that…”
“Let me deal with Mer Abrevar, husband,” said Csethiro— in a tone she obviously thought was measured, because she looked proud of herself. It was not measured. It was immense.Series

Summary
For eleven months of the year, Namo is a serious, mysterious sayer of dooms. But for Pride Month, he takes a break from all that, and only foretells gay dooms.
Or: Namo celebrates Pride Month in his own way throughout the ages of Arda.

In Equal Measure by Philosophizes for starlightwalking, JazTheBard

Summary
There's a balance to tragedy and eucatastrophe. Even Marred, Arda was made with goodwill and divine grace - there is love and mercy and forgiveness even for those that would not accept it, even for those who don't yet realize they need it.
So sometimes you get the second chance you didn't ask for.

Gloom, Doom and Maedhros by Himring

Summary
Maedhros saga, with main focus on Maedhros' life in Beleriand but spanning all the way from the Time of the Trees almost to the end of Arda.
The series is Maedhros/Fingon and the development of their relationship is one of the main interests of the saga, but other stories in the series look at Maedhros's interactions with his brothers, uncles, cousins, friends--basically whoever he is known or can be assumed to have interacted with.
The series spans different genres and the stories can differ widely in mood, rating, etc.- Words:

Summary
“Your large adult son is in my guest-room,” Orodreth said, “offering considerable critique as a High King of the Noldor on how I handled the Túrin Turambar affair, and ruthlessly re-organising my entire household, and since I had to tell him I was not, in fact, his father, his closeness with my daughter is beginning to disturb me. Please take him away.”

Summary
“Ask your question, Susan.” He says her name as tenderly as when he first crowned her for the Sun and the South in Cair Paravel that spring so long ago. She can’t quite remember the last time he called her Susan, not daughter or dear one or Gentle or Queen.
Susan wraps her hands around a chunk of mane each, feeling the warm weight of it settle in her palms, her bones. “Sometimes,” she whispers, “I feel like it would be easier if I could just—forget any of this wasn’t a dream. Don’t you think?”
“That,” says Aslan very solemnly, “is not for me to say.”
(or, susan pevensie on losing narnia, herself, and her family—and perhaps on finding them again.)

As the Third Age grows dark once more, Gandalf sends a young Elf north beyond the ruins of Carn Dûm, in search of secrets long thought lost. What she finds among the mountains is not what she expected, and far older than she dreamed.
Some legends sleep. Others burn - and some bonds endure even dragonfire...

Summary
(tell everyone about birdwatching club)
When Findekáno earns the honor of Manwë's holiest quest, naturally he asks his favorite cousin to be his questing companion. What better way to enjoy each other's company while escaping from the rising tension in Tirion?
(the second rule of birdwatching club is to expect it to take you to the strangest places)

A collection of hobbit historians in the fourth age’s somewhat failed attempt at determining what the Silmarils actually looked like. They use what historical texts are available to them. This results in some frustration.
