Summary
Having waited over thirty thousand years as an unhoused spirit after the Fall of Gondolin, Maeglin finds himself re-embodied at the end of the Seventh Age, following the return of Melkor from the Void. Drifting between consuming fear and bottomless apathy and unable to face going back to his own people to beg forgiveness, he chooses once again to join the Dark Lord, with all the knowledge he has gained during his long wait applied to Melkor's cause.
This, of course, means an army of killer robots.

Summary
The Second Age has reached its first crisis point. With Celebrimbor his captive, Sauron need only forcibly bind himself to the elf to enter his mind and discover the bearers of the three elven rings, putting everything in place for his total dominion over Middle Earth.
The only problem is that Sauron has played this trick before – and in order to return that particular trump card to his hand, he's going to need a divorce.

Summary
Looking at an old map of Beleriand, you may feel like Maglor ruled the tiny strip of land between the Little and the Greater Gelion – that would be the one labelled as “Maglor’s gap”, stuck between Himring and Thargelion; but in those times the Exiles held the Siege, encircling the Thangorodrim, and Maglor ruled the eastern link of the choking chain, from Lothlann to the northernmost foothills of the Ered Luin. I meant to ride as far north as I could, to where the Ered Luin almost met the great, red mountain range that was Morgoth’s stony kingdom.
We are not there yet. We are still leaving Himring, riding down the stony path with goat herds flanking us.
Finrod visits the Gap of Maglor, discovers life at the frontiers of the Noldorin realms is painted in shade of grey, and that some secrets should remain secrets.MAJ 09/13: After receiving many kind comments, I have decided to add a second part to this fic!
Maj 09/27: The second arc is finished! The Quest for the Secret reaches Middle Earth, and we meet a new narrator!- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
"In the space between the blades, that scratch like paper leaves dancing against each other, I heard the threat of fire."
Good prose (evocative, timeless) and better dialogue (character's lines are not stepped on; elves do not stutter or stammer or choke on their words, they speak as if they have been speaking for centuries, and with dignity and confidence). Melancholy, and no redemption twins or kidnap family, but at least the ending is hopeful -

Summary
Over five and half years after the start of the alien invasion, Earth is finally at peace, a newly-admitted member of the Law of Five. Feeling rather listless, Beth Potter joins the Law's military, grasping for purpose in their mission of liberating all peoples in bondage — besides, fighting was the only thing she was ever good at anyway.
Meanwhile, while working to clean up pockets of unreformed Yuuzhan Vong throughout the galaxy, Jaina Solo receives a message from an old friend thought long dead. The investigation sets her on the road to Tenupe and a deadly confrontation with the mysterious Empire of the Hand, and a powerful Force-user found among their soldiers.

Summary
Beth thought she had enough problems to be getting on with, after Voldemort's resurrection only a couple months ago, and the Minister sticking his head in the sand like a stubborn idiot, and the Prophet making arses of themselves. She had a nasty feeling this year was going to be miserable, she'd never felt so ambivalent about going back to Hogwarts. Except she never even makes it that far — she hadn't quite reached King's Cross when fireballs start falling from the sky. On top of everything else going on, now Earth is being attacked by literal space aliens, because apparently the infamous Potter luck has escalated to screwing over the whole damn planet.
At least she was right about the "this year is going to be miserable" part.

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.

Summary
In the first year of the Fourth Age, after three thousand one hundred and thirty-eight unhappy, furious, grieving years of being reborn into an Aman that has been trying very hard to pretend that everything is absolutely fine ever since Morgoth was banished from the world, Fingon the Valiant walked through the Door of Night into the Void to seek the fëa of Maedhros, Kinslayer, Self-Slain, who hated himself so much upon the moment of his death that he chose Everlasting Darkness voluntarily.
He left behind an extended family who is shocked and appalled to learn of this decision - and that Námo the Doomsman was the one holding the Door open for him.
Or: The last time one of the House of Finwë fell at the hands of a Vala in Aman, the Silmarillion happened.

Return to Aman by bunn

Summary
A series of stories about Elrond's return to Aman at the end of the Third Age. All these assume that Maglor son of Fëanor was one of the other unnamed Elves who accompanied Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Frodo and Bilbo on the ship when they left Middle-earth. Point of view is usually either Maglor or Elrond, but occasionally someone else (Celebrian, Lalwen, Nerdanel...)
The first story, And the wind as sweet as honey in the mouth, is about Maglor and Elrond meeting again in the Second Age, rather than in Aman, but fits with the overall series otherwise.
This series is connected with the Mandos series, about the experiences of Feanor, Fingolfin, Fingon, Curufin and Celegorm in the Halls of Mandos, but it can stand alone.
All are welcome to remix, translate or reinterpret these works as they like. They are not my characters!

Summary
Nerdanel drops the bowl she’s holding. It breaks on contact with the floor in a sudden, complete shattering into shards.
There is a boy sitting in her kitchen, with his knees drawn up to his chest and his arms wrapped around them. He turns his head at the sound. The line of his cheek is achingly familiar. “Mother?”

The first son of Nerdanel returns from Mandos.

Summary
Elurín and Eluréd survive the second kinslaying as birds, actually.
~
Two sparrows sat upon an elm branch, sheltered and silent. They watched as a few Golodhrim emerged from the eastern gates of Menegroth, circling and calling their names. They watched when several of them found the packs, hidden as if in haste beneath a stone cairn. One of them left the packs there and went within, and soon after a tall Golodh with hair like sunset came out and stumbled to the ground beside them.
The Golodh seemed to be grieving. He clutched the packs to his chest with one hand, for the other was cut off at the wrist, and called their names; but they held still, very still.
They looked upon him and did not trust him: the Golodh’s garments were still splattered with blood, red as his hair.
The snow began to fall in earnest then, as the day faded, and the Golodh remained there, calling them until his voice was hoarse.
