I can’t stop thinking about them and what their foxfire years were like

@solreefswift I remember you mentioned once you’d like to be tagged whenever someone posts tiertice art so loll

Elrond fulfills the oath, but it is a complete accident.

He had absolutely no clue his fostering counted, he was too busy stressing over meeting his bio dad for the first time since he was like four.

Celebrían even came along to soothe his nerves a bit, but the conversation was still rather awkward.

Earendil plopped the Silmaril into Elrond‘s hand because he wanted to show it.

Elrond was honestly surprised by how cool it was, he had always assumed they would be as warm as they burn brightly.

He gives it back rather swiftly, not wanting anything to do with it, and that was that.

At least they thought that until Eonwë shows up on their doorstep, equally as confused as them, informing Elrond the oath had somehow been fulfilled.

They figure it out only months later.

Elrond gets a lot of new patients.

Everyone is slightly confused but too distracted by this new age to really care.

Fic idea: Fëanor randomly appears in Imladris one day. No reason, no Valar plots, no release from Mandos or whatever. He just kind of. appears. He absolutely adores Elrond. Of course he does that’s his only surviving grandson. Glorfindel is mad that he’s not the most famous elf in Rivendell anymore. Gandalf has given up trying to understand his life. Galadriel is considering cutting off all her hair to keep it safe from him. And meanwhile Fëanor is making Rings of Power 2.0 and trying to adopt Frodo.

I detested every minute of drawing that horse, I will do it again!

Anyway, I hoped I would get this out before the end of the year, alas it became the first artwork of the year instead. It's the comic I mentioned in my wips notes, and yeah, I know it doesn't make much sense for Fëanor to not recognize Miriel but I needed it for the plot, okay 😭​

Plot explanation + Nerdanel bonus under the cut:

Very well, I had this idea stuck in my head for a while due to my dissatisfaction with many post reembodiment fëanorian fic (don't get me wrong, I enjoy the heck out of those fics, they just happen to not fully scratch the itch) and how it's either the fëanorian basically throwing themselves to the ground to apologize to those they hurt, something I don't really see happening, apologizing requires a lot of vulnerability, it's something very raw that I just can't see the fëanorians being able to do right off the halls (and I'm not giving the Valar any credit *harunf*) or, it goes the opposite direction, and none of the fëanorians apologize at all and it's just accepted with at most some control from the Valar, I just can't accept this while also assume they just went back to their regular places in Tirion no problem besides some people being mildly mad at them.

So this was my concoction, the first two stories wouldn't be about Fëanor at all actually, it would be an Aretyel and a Curufinrod stories running concurrently:

The first one is about Aredhel not initially wanting to ever see Celegorm after he used her as a motivation to hurt Luthien, but after Maeglin reembodiement she thinks that if she can take her son back maybe she should give her former friend a chance.

The second is initially basically Curufinrod through the ages as Finrod decides to talk to Curufin despite his better reason saying otherwise, Curufin is at first very scathing and refuses any talk at all but after a difficult conversation with Ëarwen (which is mostly her calling him a bitch) Curufin decides to reevaluate his past with Finrod, eventually reaching Celebrimbor (who is a curufinrodion in this) and their complicated relationship

And then finally, the Fëanor one, it begins some time after the others already began but runs with them as well, the beginning is basically this comic, Fëanor arrives and finds no one besides the woman he doesn't know is Miriel and accepts staying with her rather than trying to talk with his brothers, the truth is that Vairë sent the wrong hour to Arafinwë so that Miriel would get time with her son (Miriel doesn't know this, she also thinks they just left Fëanor alone) (Vairë also thought that at most she would mildly inconvenience a perfectly well paid envoy that at most would get a disappointed look from the king, never imagining that Nerdanel would show up as well)

(Considering having shorted parts for Maglor, who already had his therapy sessions in Rivendell, meeting Maedhros and Elwing again, and another for Caranthir finding out that he and Haleth had a child, Erestor, and not knowing how to go about it)

Maedhros, late First Age:

[mahtariel-of-himring]

There Maedhros in time was healed; for the fire of life was hot within him, and his strength was of the ancient world, such as those possessed who were nurtured in Valinor.

I’ve been thinking about my Maedros Lives!AU for bit, especially the part where Elrond finds him wandering around (maybe during the late-Second, early-Third Age??). I imagine Maedros has isolated himself from others, much like Maglor, except he goes around killing stray Orcs and other baddies, and he’s become quite wild after being on his own for so long.

Right now, I just have the general idea, but it goes like this: Elrond comes across Maedros and tries to get through to him; Maedros is wary and hesitant to come near, but he recognizes Elrond (cuz blobson). Angst potential though – Elrond thinks Maedros doesn’t know him anymore, but he’s still determined to bring him back to Rivendell.

Elrond, mimicking Maedhros's voice perfectly: I love you.

Gil-Galad: Being your friend is an acid trip.

[mahtariel-of-himring]

Fic Concept: Feanor escapes from Mandos/the Void to reclaim his third silmaril and fulfill the Oath. He is determined, he is angry, he is not going to let anything get in his–

Wait a second. Who's that with the Silmaril?? That's not an Ainur. He doesn't really look like an elf. You– yeah you. What are you? No shut up that's not rude to ask. Half-elf. I'm sorry, half elvish and half what? What do you mean mortal men??? Where do men come from? Everywhere??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Okay no, no. Feanor is not going to be distracted. He's here for the Silmaril. He's here to break the Oath and, actully, that's a REALLY well-made necklace, where did you get that. Dwarves?? What's a dwarf? More mortals? AULE'S FOLK??? A WHOLE NEW SPECIES OF SMITHS????

Okay the Silmaril can wait this "Earendil" person needs to tell him EVERYTHING he knows about dwarves right now.

Elrond: On my coming of age, I asked Gil-Galad if I could add just one fëanorian detail to the feast

Valinorian court:

Elrond: They took part in my upbringing after all

Valinorian court:

Elrond: I wore the robe they gave me, and followed their traditions, so I felt I was entitled to one thing for myself

Valinorian court: …what did you-?

Gil-Galad: *Interrupts* AND SO YOU PROCEEDED TO STAND UP TO GIVE A TOAST, AND ABDICATE BEFORE THE ENTIRE COURT OF LINDON!

Valinorian court: *Horrified*

Finarfin: *Questioning why he didn’t cut contact*

Fingon: *Barely keeping it together*

Galadriel: *Has already had two ages of this* Welcome to my life, bitch

quick russingon sketch because I love this dynamic

ft some nolofinweans

[mahtariel-of-himring]

POV: you are some poor, random human shopkeeper trying to survive in late first-age Beleriand. An eight foot tall ef with a face that is 70% scar tissue and 30% murderous intent just walked in. He is followed by two small children. He comes up to your counter and asks you how much human children need to eat.

The small children are definitely not human.

+ bonus Fingon

Anyways, I believe this must have happened at some point, so

Enjoy reading!
