Summary
The red stain blossoming on the bedclothes made her realise that this was the moment when every woman without exception, whether elf, dwarf or simply human, had to endure her regular torture. It was the middle of the night, but even in the twilight the characteristic marks on the sheets were conspicuous. They were illuminated by a moonbeam coming through the balcony. The smell itself left much to be desired. The elven woman shuddered and reflexively looked to the side. Her new husband was fast asleep, snuggled into a pile of pillows. His breasts rippled peacefully beneath his steady breathing. At the same time, she felt a wave of panic sweep over her. What if he woke up? If he saw her like this, sitting on their bed, in a dirty and stained shirt, helpless in the midst of her own monthly blood on their sheets. She blushed with shame.

Summary
“Do you know what it means to wait for ages? To search the stars and scour the seas for a glimpse of hope? He is the man who gave me and my brother life when the world sought to take it away. I have lived in torment, questioning whether the Valar themselves have cursed me, as Morgoth cursed Túrin Turambar—to a life of grief, of loss, of love that turns to ash in my hands!”
Elrond’s chest heaved as he fought to steady his breath, his eyes glistening. “If bringing him back requires my humiliation, my penance, even my ruin, I would offer it gladly. Do not speak to me of conditions, for I would rather be hurled into the void to dwell with Morgoth than deny the man I love as my father.”
Mirion’s steely mask cracked, if only for a moment. She inclined her head, her voice softened but still laced with cynicism. “That was... sufficiently dramatic. You have passed the test, Peredhel.”

Summary
Maglor wanted a family—a wife to hold, children to lull. But he knew Elros and Elrond were the closest he’d ever been to having children of his own.
But suddenly, a woman claimed he was the father.
Then, he found an elfling soaked in blood; bodies littered all around, cleaved limbs scattered and severed heads rolling. She was wild and feral, but the moment he looked into her startling grey eyes, he knew.
He just knew.
She was his.
She was everything he longed for, yet everything he dreaded. But, by the Valar, she was a creature cursed with love.
Intense.
Consuming.
Purer than the Silmaril.
/ / /
In which, Itachi's fed up with the universe conspiring against her. She's tired of life and people, but she can't help loving her tender-hearted father and the golden-haired elf she had unknowingly given the power to hurt her, but if she had to suffer again, it might as well be at his hands.

Summary
Some elves die horribly and come back to Valinor remade and happy. Some don't die, and sail there, happily.
Some elves have issues.
(Definitely not Rising-Verse compliant.)
Warning: as this fic has developed, there are now scenes in it which might upset some. (To be honest, I don't think there is much that is worse than the first scene, but it depends on the reader.) I can't see a way of warning without putting the whole plot in the tags, so just - proceed with caution. I don't rate Mature lightly.
