    Summary

    So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
    It softens his temper a little, binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.

    So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest in the battle of Lammoth, and receives weregild.
    Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he will co-operate. Yet, though a good man, he is no less proud and ambitious.

    Can they find a healthy way to co-exist? Perhaps not. They are a little too awful to one another. Still, they will try.

    Meanwhile, Elu Thingol's concerns are not unjustified, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien labours to make her own future possible. Can a somewhat better united Beleriand stand against Morgoth?

    --
    [Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.]

    Summary

    "It means that you should prepare yourself for what might happen," said Dr. García gently. "Señora, this man is barely remembered. Whoever still holds memories of him and stopped the Final Death… it may not be enough. Perhaps he will eventually recover his strength and wake up. That would be the ideal outcome. But his condition is not promising, Señora."

    Summary

    It's not the battle itself that is traumatic, it's the aftermath.
    Dying is easy, it's those who survive who are left with the trauma.
    But also, the best way to honor the sacrifice of the ones who perished, is to simply live.
    As hard as it may be.

    AU where Shinobu survives the battle with Douma and she has to face the consequences of her plan to defeat him.
    As always, Giyuu and Shinobu will find their way navigating the adversity together.

    Summary

    It's just two weak pillars supporting one another. What difference does it make if they get married?
    From the perspective of canon, not much. They are so low-key about the relationship that not even all the other Hashira know about it. Giyuu and Shinobu promised one another to prioritize their demon slaying missions, but that locus of priority can make it difficult to navigate their roles as spouses. What happens with their missions is of no real concern to the other, right? Maybe they both need to talk more, before they find bigger things to argue about than fictional baby names.

    This is the chronological version of my somewhat popular Tumblr-based AU, with doodles showing how this sort of lens through which to view canon either makes everything funnier or much more painful. The doodles will be posted here as relevant, but long-time followers of the AU have lots of new material to look forward to.
