Summary
“I see and know everything whether I want to or not, because the universe hates me,” Grima explains. “Okay, so you two are finally getting married, thank the gods. That’s me! I’m a god. You’re welcome. So what kind of theme do you want to go for? And where are you going to live? Plegia’s pretty nice once you get used to the sand, the sand, and also the sand. Obviously I won’t complain about the occasional vacation to Ylisstol, since your... mountain vistas... aren’t half bad. Are you listening? Are you alive? Did I just break you?”
“I’m listening,” Chrom says weakly, his poor little brain struggling to keep up.
In which Grima is born into an existential crisis, accidentally nudges history the wrong way, and tries to make do in a world that is objectively more chaotic than he is.

Feanor and the Impossible Dream by Anonymous
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, TOLKIEN J. R. R. - Works & Related Fandoms
08 Nov 2025
Tags
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.

Bookmarker's Notes
If I had a nickel for every series involving art-based time travel which features as one of its main characters some guy who ends up as the general of some army at some point, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but is weirdly specific! (The other series I'm thinking of is the 1632 series.)

Summary
Maedhros eldest of the sons of Feanor plunged into a chasm, the Silmaril clutched to his breast. It should have been the end. Whether the Halls of Mandos or the Void were his fate should not have mattered. Instead he was dragged through the space between worlds and landed in Thedas. What will he do? How will he find his feet? Has he learned anything at all? The only way to know is to read.

Bookmarker's Notes
Normally I prefer reading a quest in its original format because of the extra context like dice rolls and voting discussions ... but I don't have a Spacebattles account so I can't follow it there as easily.

Summary
Argus' life was a largely thankless one (unless you counted the thanks of the paintings he maintained), working on keeping a thousand year old castle from falling down around the ears of students who didn't care. He had his cat, his work, his books, and a constant boil of self hatred and resentment to get him by.
And then a sixth year handed him a letter from her aunt, thanking him for acting as conservator of Hogwarts and calling him Dr. Filch. It was the first time he had been called Doctor since he started at the castle. He had little choice but to write back, after that.

Summary
The worst case scenario comes to pass, and all of Lucina's nightmares are fulfilled. Chrom falls, Robin ascends, and there is nothing to stop the revived Fell Dragon from once again laying waste to the world.
Except, hold on a moment. Validar didn't have the real Fire Emblem. None of this should be possible in the first place. Were the Grimleal simply wrong about the requirements for Grima's awakening? And if they were wrong about that, then what else might they be wrong about?
Quite a lot, as it turns out. Lucina has a very bad day, and funnily enough, so does Validar.

Ron might have the Sight, but even he couldn't see this reality coming his way.
Oi. It’s me, Ron Weasley, the character you don’t care much about. Or maybe you do. Readers in this fandom are into all sorts of things, and loads of you probably like reading about me from time to time. Although, if you’ve found this story, it’s likely you don’t spend most of your time reading about me. I bet you read loads more stories about my best mate and his boyfriend. Right? Of course I’m right. You’re probably laying in bed right now, surrounded by cookie crumbs and wondering when Harry and his favorite blond fucktoy are going to come wandering onto your browser screen.

Summary
By Hylian standards, a voe isn't exactly a man, a vai isn't exactly a woman, and a man who desperately needs to get into Gerudo City doesn't exactly know what's going on.
(Or: 2,500+ words of musing about Gerudo gender politics.)

Summary
Padmé Amidala Naberrie was a politician, with years of experience dealing with direct and indirect communication. Why did she knowingly marry a volatile, traumatized Jedi who gave off so many “creepy! stalker!” flags?
That’s aside from various odd details—details that, perhaps, could've given her a chance to save them all.
