Summary
Why do so many in this fandom have such a fascination with Feanor and his sons? Why do these blatant criminals, warmongers, and thieves reliably draw admiration or even love from readers, clearly contrary to their creator's intent?
Part textual history of the stories of Feanor, his sons, his family, and his angelic enemies as their characters radically changed with Tolkien's increasingly rigid beliefs, part literary analysis, part raging against the gods, part questioning the glories of paradise, this aims to convince the reader that if Feanor the character is a villain, then Feanor the personification of man's rebellion against authority is not, even if Tolkien grew to believe he was. To be drawn to the Feanoreans in spite of Tolkien is to be drawn to Don Quixote in spite of his creator's attempt to bury the character, and with him an ideology.

Summary
Idril says to Maeglin, "And how fare your stories today?"
Maeglin does not break her gaze as so many do. At least, above else, he has the strength that her aunt had. “As they always do, cousin. Dancing across the sky, entombed in rhyme.”
(Idril's son has been spending time with her cousin, lately. Perhaps nothing could change, or perhaps everything could.)

In Which Maeglin Plots to Cause Civil War in Beleriand to Get Out of His Arranged Marriage by JazTheBard for disorganisedautodidact (millyfaraway)

Summary
Fingon died in the Fifth Battle, and unfortunately this means that there needs to be a new diplomatic marriage to unite the Noldor, as was decreed many years ago (mostly to let Maedhros and Fingon get married).
Celebrimbor is the only option on the Fëanorian side, and Maeglin gets volunteered for his side of the family, and neither of them are happy with this arrangement.

Summary
Túrin doesn't make it to Dor-Lómin from Nargothrond. Instead, he somehow stumbles into Nan Elmoth, where an elf finds him and declares him his husband. He doesn't know what to make of this place, or of Maeglin, who is his only protection from the bloodthirsty court of the forest.
Meanwhile, Morgoth is having the time of his life.
