Chapters: 1/2 Fandom: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Celebrimbor & Sauron (Tolkien), Annatar/Celebrimbor (Tolkien), Celebrimbor & Elrond Peredhel, Celebrimbor & Galadriel (Tolkien) Characters: Celebrimbor (Tolkien), Sauron (Tolkien), Elrond Peredhel, Galadriel (Tolkien), Celeborn (Tolkien), Celebrían (Tolkien), Ereinion Gil-galad Additional Tags: Body Horror, Non-Consensual Body Modification, Implied/Referenced Torture, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Celebrimbor Lives (Tolkien) Summary:

When he woke in his chains, he was glowing. Under the dark streaks of dried blood, light was leaking through his skin. He looked like he’d swallowed a star.

Annatar was standing in front of him, some feet away, his head slightly tilted.

Sauron, not Annatar. Celebrimbor had to remember that, even though it was Annatar studying him; Annatar’s curving mouth and cool eyes –

He wondered, for a moment, what fresh torment the light was meant to be; and then, with a sick awareness, he felt it like black breath on his soul, and he cried out, “What have you done?”

-

Sauron works a finer torture in the ruins of Eregion, and Celebrimbor survives it. The world twists.

Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Fingon | Findekáno/Maedhros | Maitimo Characters: Fingon | Findekáno, Maedhros | Maitimo Additional Tags: LaCE compliant, Woke Up Married, Canon Divergence, fashionable young tirion Summary:

“Ugh,” Fingon says when he wakes up. His head feels both tender and thick, and the brilliant golden Tree-light hurts his eyes. He hasn’t felt so bad after a Gathering of the Fruits since the first time his father deemed him old enough to attend. The miruvórë Yavanna makes with her own fair hands from the honey of the undying flowers in her Garden is only offered at the high festivals, and it’s dangerously light, clear, and sparkling. It’s as easy to get swept away by it as it is to find oneself caught in the jaws of an undertow when swimming in the Bay of Eldamar, carried beyond oneself by a sense of wellbeing and mirth as inexorably as being carried out to sea.

“Ugh,” someone agrees, and Fingon rolls over to find Maedhros in his bed, hair a red-brown tangle like seaweed on the pillow and his usually fair face decidedly pallid.

Hello, I hope you're doing well! I've been really enjoying your Silmarillion fics on AO3. I was wondering what your transformative works policy is? I've been thinking about getting more into podfic and would like to do a reading of "red wedding" someday if you would be okay with it. If not, that's totally cool <3

That is so very kind! My transformative works policy is that anything is alright, as long as you link me to it so I can see/link it back from the new work. 💜💜💜

[arrivisting]

ok but will that one kpop fic update 🥺

I know who you are >:(

It was the happiest and best of worlds, the bronze finally poured perfectly from the mould without cracking in the casting. He was happy. Surely he was happy.

-

Fëanáro said, and the words, somehow, were not quite his own, “Am I supposed to be complacent? Should I not keep reaching for more? Who am I, if I don’t?”

still Not Around right now but this was my @tolkienremix story based on @zealouswerewolfcollector’s delightfully eerie We Live A Lie.

Guessing Games & Feedback Frenzy!

Hi everyone! Author reveals will take place on May 29, so watch this space and the Tolkien Remix 2023 collection.

We’re putting up this post as a place where, now that you’ve had time to read the collection, you can post any guesses you have about who wrote what, and see if you’re proved wrong or right!

(This is just for fun; you are certainly not required to make any guesses).

We have been so delighted by the friendly engagement and the quality of commenting on stories in this collection! We’d also like to challenge you to spending the last few days before reveals go up in a Feedback Frenzy: how many more stories can you read and comment on before the reveal?

[arrivisting]

breaking my current insanely busy & generally insane break from tumblr/twitter to reblog the fact that tolkienremix is live! please go and appreciate our wonderful writers! and wonderful @annaquenta, both the engine and the guiding star of this challenge.

WORKS HAVE BEEN REVEALED!

Check out all the fantastic remixes created for this event on our AO3 Collection! Congratulations everyone on a great event!

Creators will remain anonymous for a week after work reveals, so please don’t start promoing or talking about what you wrote quite yet!

deeply behind on answering comments -- which are loved & adored more than I can say -- because I am deeply underwater on my life and not doing super well. I am sorry, it is not you, it is most definitely me.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Fingon | Findekáno/Maedhros | Maitimo Characters: Fingon | Findekáno, Maedhros | Maitimo Summary:

“Would you have us move too soon?” Maedhros asked. “I forget to whom I speak; of course you would! But I tell you what I told the king: that we have yet to build up our herds, yet to prepare for true siege, yet to come to our full strength; nor to train up the Sindar and Nandor who have sworn to serve us. What we might lose by ill-timed action we cannot replace. No one is coming to help us — neither west from the sea nor east from over the mountains. There is nothing and no one now but us.”

-

Fingon and Maedhros fight about whether or not to take the fight to Morgoth during the Long Siege; and about the eagle.
