Summary
Still, no one said anything, so introductions were clearly up to Tyelpe. “Celebrimbor,” he said, “Tyelperinquar Curufinwe, if you need it to be that way. I’m exactly who you think I am. I’m s—”
“Yes,” the man interrupted, loud and abrupt. “Yes, I know who you are.”
“Most… do,” Tyelpe responded uncomfortably. (Aredhel sighed softly.)
“That’s good,” said the man. "The thing you're making, that is. It looks good. But I can't tell what it is."
“Uh,” said Tyelpe, who under no circumstances was willing to discuss the thing he was making.
“‘Good to meet you’,” Aredhel prompted, sounding exhausted. “‘And my name is…’”
“Oh!” said the man, and flushed from pink to red. “Oh. I am. Good to meet you. Sorry.”
“It’s—”
“And I’m Lomion,” he said. “Maeglin Lomion. I’m exactly who you think I am too.”
((Part three and part last of the Osse/Celebrimbor saga. In which the past repeats, and resolves.))

Summary
They passed out of Lhûn and the wider coastline of Middle-earth opened up before his eyes. He had wandered those shores for centuries, and even now he felt the pull of that same wanderlust, and knew he would miss them for the rest of his life. Their wildness, the untamed waves, the rocky shores and the cliffs and the sandy beaches. The gulls, and the dunes, and the tide pools with their ever-changing denizens. Someone began to sing a song of farewell, and other voices took it up. He did not join them.
Maglor keeps a promise and comes to Valinor, only to find the ghosts he thought he'd left behind are alive and waiting for him.

Summary
When Fëanor spoke again, he was softer. “Did you see it, Nolvo? Like a new star crossing the sky. They’ve beaten us, and good. Boy, I’d love to get my hands on the tech in their cosmodrome, wouldn’t you? Maybe I’ll call up—”
This time, it was Nerdanel who interrupted, her voice a warning. Maedhros couldn’t quite make out the words, but her meaning was clear: Shut up, smarty-pants!
“Of course,” Fëanor returned to the phone, reverting to his clear, didactic tone, “I’m exaggerating for effect, as I’m known to. I would never defect or betray my country…. No, Professor, you won’t. I’m afraid you’ll need to handle this one yourselves. I will not be bought, and I’ll be much obliged if you don’t call with such offers again.”
The Space Race begins when Doriath launches the world's first artificial satellite. Fëanor, a renowned astrophysicist of Aman, becomes obsessed with the potential of radio astronomy to contact the far reaches of the universe. Under these conditions, Maedhros grows up and takes on his father's cause. Years later, a message is received.

Summary
We are in Arda, the world where the events of the Legendarium take place. In a 90s-style Aman live two Calaquendi elves.
Fëanor: Noldor punk, with a gruff look, grumpy and easily irritated, but brilliant and much more sensitive than you might expect from him.
Nerdanel: Noldor Elf, with puppy eyes, a kind soul, energetic and a bit of an art nerd. Insecure about her artistic abilities and who is disappointing all the expectations that her parents and her family had made of her, since she is discovering that she is anything but a goody-goody.
Obviously this is an AU of the Silmarillion, with its own context and canonical events changed in the chronology and mixed with real facts of our world. It is a light story that should not be taken too seriously.
IMPORTANT
The two protagonists, their parents and characters clearly older than them are ADULTS.
Even the characters' personalities, as much as I try to make them IC, will be affected by a personal revision, so don't be scared if I'm not 100% faithful to the canonical characters.
Small note: the elves in this fanfiction speak as if they were human but it's how they feel among themselves, in reality they speak as in Tolkien's booksSeries

Summary
"You can refuse, dear granddaughter," Olwë said to her one afternoon after he visited her in her Tower. "Nobody can force you if you don't want to do it."
Elwing's eyes flashed. "You're mistaken, your Majesty, if you really believe that the choice is really on my hands," she replied bitingly.
During the Fourth Age in Valinor, Elwing's peace of mind was suddenly thrown into a storm when Nàmo put the fates of the Sons of Fëanor on her hands and gave her the right to decided whether to let them be re-embodied and return to Valinor or just to let them rot inside until Dagor Dagorath comes

Summary
"Look at this, I wanted to tell the world. Look at this heron, this bird who carries the entire universe in its eye and still chooses to look at me. Chooses to count Fingon, the vicar's son, within the expanse of its gaze. What a tragedy it is that we human beings are born with so much love to give, then forced to live lives too small and sparsely furnished to ever accommodate more than a fraction of it. How devastating that we spend our earliest years learning how to fence away and leave fallow the most promising fields of our hearts."

British India, 1930s: early days of the ancient friendship turned lifelong love affair between notorious political gangster Comrade Maedhros Fëanorian and dance-master Fingon, the local vicar’s son.

Summary
"In dread’s embrace, your fate entwine,
With Qalmë-Tári, through shadowed shrine."In an alternate version of The Silmarillion, it is not Melkor who ventures into the Void, but Nienna, the once-compassionate Lady of Mercy. Driven by an insidious transformation, she plunges into the darkness, emerging as a twisted force of despair and malevolence. Embracing the Void's corrupting influence, Nienna becomes Qalmë-Tári, Mistress of Night, her essence entwined with grief and darkness.
In this bleak world, a dark cult forms around Qalmë-Tári, devoted to spreading her doctrine of despair and mourning. The faithful, led by her most loyal lieutenant, Lótëar (Olórin), the High Priest of Rot, revel in the sorrow they cultivate, reinforcing Nienna's dominion over their lives and souls.
Follow history of Ea and Arda, which would be threaten first by the Lady of Misery and later on by the High Priest of Rot.

Summary
Never have I ever written an ABO story, until now.
The usual suspects in a different setting but still having family dynamics from hell and so many grievances. Also, everybody is even younger and more confused than the last time. It is still Arda in spirit and custom but geographically it is more like Earthsea.
Like I feared, this turned out to be a somewhat epic endeavor, with a bunch of children craving attention, mysteries, agricultural problems, battles of different kinds, dreams, omens and portents, Dwarrow, fertility rituals, good and evil Valar and me being unexpectedly lenient towards Kings Thingol and Ingwë. And of course there are dragons, too.
There probably should be more sex, and less meetings, but there is a war to be waged and people to be saved, so busy parents have to take what they can get.
So, Prince Fëanáro is returning to the Isle of Tirion from a bout of island hopping....
