🧠 "I should eat this rock."
{ send my muse intrusive thoughts }
Erestor was with Celebrimbor in his workshop, and they made idle conversation while his cousin worked on crafting a necklace. Or rather, Erestor was going off about an ‘idiot’ in the library earlier that day, and Celebrimbor was listening politely, offering a small nod or hum in response every now and then.
At some point, Erestor began sifting through the pile of many tiny gems and stones Celebrimbor set out on the table between them. There were many different colors and shapes, and one piece reminded Erestor of a particular candy from their youth in Valinor. He fiddled with that stone for a while until, without thinking, he suddenly plopped it into his mouth and tried biting into it. Instantly realizing what he’d done, Erestor spat the stone out into his hand while his face turned the signature shade of red his father was infamous for.
The librarian took a few moments to process what he’d done in the deafening silence that fell between them. Once done, Erestor’s horrified gaze slowly lifted to meet his cousin’s. The librarian’s face then dropped into a menacing glare while his hand closed around the offending rock, as if to hide the evidence.
“If you ever dare to tell another soul of this, I will shave off all of your hair in your sleep and proceed to gag you with it. Do you understand?”
#you get caranthirion erestor !!!! yayyy#also feel free to make this a thread if you want!!!#I didn’t intend for it at first but this is basically a starter lmao#I also tried leaving the time period nebulous so it could be either first or second age

maglor's second run as high king regent (while elrond tries to figure out who gil galad is even related to):
Elrond: Hey.
Maglor: What do you want?
Elrond: So, Gil-Galad died.
Maglor: And?
Elrond: We need a new king.
Maglor: Absolutely not.
#silm#silmarillion#maglor#elrond#gil galad#i hc gil galad is actually maglors kid from his rather short-lived marriage#(neither of them know it bc maglor sent gil away when he was little + name change at the havens)#anyways maglor is Not Happy but elrond promised all he had to do was sit there and basically pretend like the noldor were somewhat intact#he didnt even bother to put the crown on properly lol#hes taken to draping himself awkwardly over various furniture and singing the noldolante at the top of his lungs until someone removes him#he knows what furniture is best for dramatically lamenting on from his first regency#when people start mentally filtering out his current song he switches either to a twelve-hour lament#an equally long lay#or valian pop songs#he bit the last three people who tried to make him do actual politics#ooh imagine a lotr-era au where maglor is the high king of the noldor#its sort of a figurehead position because there are like four and a half noldor left#one is maglor#one is galadriel (who has her own kingdom and has been living w the sindar for 8000 years and also still hates him)#one is glorfindel and the other is erestor#the half is elrond#and since glorfindel refuses to follow a feanorian the only person high king maglor really rules over is erestor the librarian#but! sauron doesnt know that! he just knows that there is at least one high king attending the council of elrond#bonus points if celeborn and/or galadriel claim the sindarin throne#bc elrond doesnt want it and celeborn is the oldest on the elmo side (elmo > galadhon > celeborn)#and galadriel is the oldest on the olwe side (olwe > earwen > galadriel)#actually since olwe is older does that mean galadriel can be the sindarin high queen? or does it not count bc teleri#although teleri dont have a separate high king i think so maybe?#unsure whether the sindarin throne is male line only since it does skip luthien but it also skips daeron because both of them ran away#anyways

sauron - raging homosexual. once he got seduced by melkor then seduced celebrimbor then seduced the king of numenor you start to recognize a pattern 🏳️🌈⁉️
glorfindel and erestor - tolkien basically confirmed they're a thing by having them ride to minas tirith together
the sons of feanor - extremely homosexual especially maedhros
fingon - bro he is so gay that even after his bf betrayed him and he had to cross the helcaraxe bc of it he STILL has to be even gayer and rescue him from thangorodrim

People seemed interested in Library Orc Blorbo so I decided to write down my headcanons about him:
His name is Garthaglir (it’s Sindarin for “poem keeper”)
He renamed himself after discovering a love for library sciences, shortly after he moved to the valley
Rivendell’s head librarian
Used to be an extremely dangerous warrior, now considers himself retired
Extremely tall and buff, blue skin, salt-and-pepper hair and a well-trimmed beard
Very distinguished, very polite
Has a tiny pair of spectacles he uses to read because he's farsighted
He doesn’t look like an old man but he is one deep in his heart
He was one of the first reformed orcs to end up in Rivendell, so he helps other orcs adjust to living there
Basically invented Middle Earth’s version of the Dewey Decimal system
Look, Rivendell’s library is like, unfathomably huge, there’s 6000+ years of books in there, someone had to organize it
He, Elrond, and Erestor are the only people who have keys to the part of the library where they keep the cursed books
The three of them also have a monthly book club
He holds a weekly story time for the kids
(Yes, he does do funny voices, no, you are not allowed to comment on it)
Has tracked people down at 3 AM before because “M’am? M’am you have an overdue book, here, I brought my library stamp would you mind just checking this out again? You can keep it out for another month that way. Just a moment, ah, yes thank you, I’ll be on my way now. Excellent choice in reading material.”
He has a fancy sunhat he wears outside during the day so the sun doesn’t burn him, it was a gift from small Arwen and he cherishes it
He has a library cat, her name is Mittens and he would die for her
Uses his free time to teach himself different languages; there are hundreds in Rivendell’s books
Enjoys recommending books to visitors, he’s gotten really good at getting a read on what people will like
Personally, when he’s in the mood for fiction, he prefers a good mystery

This isn't terribly important, but just out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know when Tolkien decided to limit surviving half-elves to just Elwing and Eärendil and their descendants (Elrond, Elros, Elrond's children)?
Like, the Hobbit still speaks in general about there being people who had both elves and men among their ancestors, and mentions Elrond as their leader. At least one if not multiple early drafts of the Council of Elrond chapter of LOTR name Erestor not only as half-elven but specifically a descendant of Lúthien. I don't have the relevant volume of HoME at hand to check, but iirc that draft also kinda implies that Erestor isn't the only one of those around, just the only one besides Elrond that's relevant to name just then, but i might be off about that part.
But by the time LOTR is polished to the shape it's published, Tolkien has apparently changed his mind about that, seeing as the published LOTR and appendices only discusses Elrond and Elros as half-elves, and any mention of Erestor's being half-elf (or in any other way related to Lúthien or to Elrond) is gone so that presumably he's been changed into an elf
So my knowledge of when Tolkien decides on the number of half-elves is basically "somewhere between whenever Tolkien wrote that draft for the Rivendell part of the story, and when LOTR was finished", but I'm really curious if anyone knows anything to narrow that down further?
#i guess in the version where erestor is half-elven/it's generally implied that there's more half-elves than just elrond's immediate family#that also kinda explains why erestor was maybe going to join the fellowship in that version rather than pippin#like at that point there's maybe enough half-elves that it makes sense for them to also have a representative among the fellowship?#lotr#lord of the rings#middle-earth#j.r.r. tolkien#the lord of the rings#erestor#elrond#tolkien#lotr meta

Ringlord High King of Everything Elrond, inspired here
(@the-writing-goblin)
I imagine in this situation elrond would have been partially tempted by boromir's declaration, but instead of trying to fight sauron with it (because even in the weirdest crack au i can think of elrond is still too genre-aware to try that) he tried to use it to supercharge his use of vilya and protect everyone.
basically Ringlord!Elrond turned the entirety of Eriador into a mega-gondolin situation: massive walls (courtesy of numenorean/eregion tech) around the regions bordering the north or Mordor, fortresses along the mountain range and several layers of gates along every road in or out. Everybody goes in; nobody goes out; everyone is safe.
and he ended up claiming the kingship to give him more authority in the process - he's High King of the Noldor and Sindar and King of the Edain (given that there are like three half-vanyar in middle-earth, he's more or less king of all children of iluvatar) and so he can have command over the entirety of the West.
and with the help of the Ring, this actually works! but the corruption starts to show eventually
he uses his kinship to Gondor to forcefully drag them into his neo-gondolin-empire-creation so he can ensure none of his great-nephews will ever have to face sauron. he extends the walls to encompass Mirkwood, because he's the high king of the sindar and has a duty to protect thranduil's realm, and unleashes the full might of his melian-lite powers to purge Sauron's Shadow and the spawn of Ungoliant from the now-Greenwood.
Galadriel and Glorfindel very much see where this is going and are very very worried. galadriel won't let him build walls around lothlorien (because she lives next door to a balrog and knows exactly what happened to gondolin) but celeborn thinks it's a good idea, since after all Doriath wouldn't have fallen if Melian's girdle had still been up. glorfindel tries to talk him out of it but the ring has taken hold
the Ring's power also enhances all his natural weirdness and powers - he has his wings and maia markings permanently activated now, with or without finwean anger. he can fully shapeshift, and he goes from raising waves in the bruinen to raising tsunamis in the great sea.
except the finwean anger seems to be permanently activated now, too, and anyone who harms someone he's deemed under his protection finds themselves the target of a rather ironic vengeance quest. the shapeshifting is looking weird now - his teeth are always sharp now, and his eyes have gone fully inhuman. sometimes he has claws and his wings look more like bats than eagles. and his water powers are more like osse's- he can't calm the waters now (goldberry is the first to notice something's up) and can only stir them into massive ship-sinking storms and tsunamis.
this progresses until he's basically Evil Luthien ruling over a continent-wide Mega-Gondolin, slaughtering orc-hordes before they even reach the white walls and sinking any naval fleet Sauron tries to send around the coast. Everybody is brought in; nobody leaves; everyone is safe...?
he figures out that the dwarven legend of "Durin's Bane" has to be one of the few first age balrogs thats still unaccounted for. and well, it's living right on his border, and he can't risk another fall of gondolin, right? so he leads a small force in there to clear moria, and they shove the balrog off the edge, but it takes one of his captains (except glorfindel) with it (maybe erestor?) and he uses the ring and saves erestor, (and maybe floods the balrog for good measure), and glorfindel is sure he saw elrond's eyes go yellow for a moment.
and even fully corrupted, he knows he can't take the ring directly into mordor. but he can wipe out sauron's armies outside the walls, to protect his kingdom - because turgon's mistake was thinking he was safe even when there were balrogs and dragons and orcs outside, right?
somewhere along the way, arwen realizes what's happening and goes to live with galadriel. one of the twins goes with her; the other stays out of loyalty but eventually follows.
elrond's kingdom has become a cross between doriath and gondolin now, with all the surrounding lands warped by ring-magic to hide it, and layers of stone walls and iron gates preventing anyone from leaving. because everyone is here; nobody leaves; everyone is... safe?
#silm#silmarillion#lotr#elrond#lord of the rings#i hc goldberry is uinen and osses daughter#i feel like the ring works differently for everyone#hobbits are naturally sneaky and long-lived so hobbits get ring-invisibility and ring-immortality#while dwarves would be basically physically invincible and elves would get feanor-style super-fea#and peredhel get maiarin powers#honestly ringlord elrond is kind of terrifying#like ringlord galadriel or ringlord maglor would be pretty straightforward about conquering the world#like galadriels whole 'all shall love me and despair'#or maglor would be like 'yep conquering the world for the oath now hand over your land'#but elrond is more of the manipulative dark lord type#like the 'im doing this for you/i just want to protect you' villain#and hes already most of middle earths collective dad#they all trust him

Fëanorians and their offspring.
Basically fairly random headcanons where Fëanor has nine grandchildren and his line does not die out.
Maedhros and Fingon marry and have baby Ereinion. In this AU, Maedhros does manage to find the twins Eluréd and Elurín, whom he kept under his care; he even baptizes them with names in Quenya.
Maglor adopts (kidnaps) the twins. Following canon, for a change. Although it turns out that Daeron and he fathered a child while they were still married. They divorced after Doriath, so Maglor never knew his husband was in waiting.
After the death of her beloved cousin, Celegorm keeps the only memory of her, baby Maeglin, at her request (Tugorn, who is Turgon?).
After a night of wine without measure, the always neat Caranthir spends hours in bed with Turgon, which results in little Erestor.
Curufin simply disappeared for a year and when he returned he had Telperinquar in his arms.
Amrod and Amras are the uncles who spoil their nephews.

Space is limited, so I did not include the Feanorians' spouses. Husbands, or of course, in this AU they are queer.
These are completely random headcanons that come to mind.
The canon has gone to hell.

Haleth and Caranthir for the ship bingo!

There should be a square on this bingo that's "basically canon" or "it's canon to me" or "it's so obvious, how is this not canon??"
Normies can think that there was nothing other than deep mutual respect between Caranthir and Haleth and maybe count it as a win for platonic friendships between a male and female character, but that is also the boring answer.
I mean come on! Badass lady who is a leader and a warrior who protects her people in the face of a losing battle and nerdy elf lord who does finances while also being a grump (not to mention the Oath and the whole being Doomed thing). That is peak! And also let the mortal woman have the hot elf bf for once, how come always the mortal men get to have the beautiful elf princess!! Representation for human women getting their not tragic romance!!!
Anyways, I just think there had to be SOMETHING between Haleth and Caranthir. Silently pining for each other? A one night stand? A series of one night stands? Marriage? Marriage that only lasts a decade or two max before Haleth leaving with her people? Half-elf baby who may or may not be Erestor? I don't know but all of them fascinate me.
Is it doomed to not last? Sure, Haleth will leave Caranthir forever one way or another, but tell me at least they had some time together, and many of them good times to fondly look back on.
Also Caranthir needs someone to boss him around a bit and fireman carry him to bed either for a good fuck or a good nights sleep. Depends on how long he'd stayed up signing papers for tax season.

i return from the depths with a small headcanon (potential tw for bodily trauma)
After the Last Alliance (more specifically his imprisonment in Mordor) Erestor has lots of scars across his body. When he is first rescued, he was unrecognizable to most, and not just because his face was obscured by his rescuer. The dark elf’s hair was shorn off, his skin blistered, burnt & infected. The joints in his arms and hands were askew as they’d been clearly dislocated and settled in the wrong places. The back of his body was littered in scars from interrogations, from his neck all the way down to the bottoms of his feet. The only reason it wasn’t worse was because Sauron wanted him kept whole and mentally unbroken until he could get a the chance to break the spymaster himself; the end goal was to use Erestor as bait in a battle the way that Gelmir was used in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
It takes Erestor many years to recover physically — as much as he can, at least. Many of his scars are still faintly visible, and it’s just one of the reasons the chief counsellor wears dark, full-coverage robes all the time. I imagine that he’s also been left with elven arthritis in his arms and hands, which makes him extra irritable on days it flares up.
#headcanon#basically just me seeing how much more whump i can throw onto erestor#and how many other ways i can represent the walls he has built up to keep everyone out#because he secretly feels vulnerable all the time#what#tw#idk how to tag this tbh

I wanted more Brimby comfort based on my day today. Because this basically happened, but no 6 foot something ellon smith god was there to comfort me. I was originally keeping it gender neutral, but we ended up on trans masc again. It was a rough day guys lol
Cw for overstimulation and internalized ableism mainly, bath, brimby being cute (when is he not?), hurt/comfort, suggestive content.
warm water
I’m so sorry 😂. But like, who doesn’t want to be in a big hug with this man. Like goddamn
It was all too hot. The bath was supposed to be calming. You had a bad day and decided to rest your mind and sore muscles, letting the tired eyes that were just crying a little bit ago rest. But it just felt too hot. You thrashed in the bath a little bit, trying to force your body to get used to the temperature. Sure, you were in warm water, so that way it wouldn’t get too cold too quickly, but it wasn’t scalding hot either.
You felt so small and childish. This was supposed to be relaxing and your stupid brain was making it a big deal over nothing. You let out a small whimper of frustration.
Unbeknownst to you, Celebrimbor was in your shared room, having just arrived from his lordly duties a few minutes prior. He heard you in the bath, and was debating on joining when he heard your sound of frustration. He walked over to the door and lightly knocked.
“Órenya, may I come in?” He asks
You freeze in shock. He heard you? You didn’t know whether you wanted him to come in or not. It was stupid, you would adjust to the water, right? He didn’t need to know that his love couldn’t handle a little water, and was close to crying again because of it.
“Love?” He asked, a little more urgently.
“Uh if yo-you want to.”
He opens the door and enters, walking over to the edge of the big tub. He rolls up the sleeves of his tunic, before kneeling next to you.
“What’s wrong love? I heard you whine.”
You shake your head. He doesn’t need to know that you’re acting like an overgrown child.
“Mm, I don’t believe that little one. There’s something wrong. I can tell you’ve been crying, and I was alerted to the fact you had a run in with one of the visiting diplomats.”
It was true. You were just trying to do your job, and the diplomat was being an asshole, verbally degrading you and your lord, being transphobic towards you, and causing you to lash out at him. Your words shut him up, and he left in a huff, but the effort caused you to break down in frustration and exhaustion.
“I’m sorry,” you whimper out. You didn’t want him to be mad at you.
“I’m proud of you, you know that right? He had no right to treat you like that. You handled the situation well, if Erestor is to be believed.”
Erestor wouldn’t lie. You both knew that. You knew your lord got the full story too, if Erestor was his source.
“I handled the rest with the diplomat. He is no longer welcome in Eregion. My new concern is my sweet boy.” His hand reaches out to touch you, before faltering, as it dawned onto him that you might be overwhelmed.
“The water’s too warm,” you whine out quietly. You hope he understood what you meant. Explaining felt too hard for you to do right now. His hand reaches into the water to feel the temperature, before pulling it out, content you weren’t hurting yourself with the water.
“It’s too warm and overwhelming you?” He asks gently, voice calm and quiet. He reaches his other, dry, hand to you, letting it hover just before making contact with your shoulder. You push your body into it, a silent acceptance and plea of his touch. You nod, pouting, before feeling childish again and forcing yourself to stop.
“Would you like to get out?” He asks. You try to find a trace of judgement in his voice, but there is none. You rub your eyes in frustration and the pout finds its way back onto your face. You didn’t know. It was too hard to handle. Gentle hands grab your wrists and pull them from your face.
“Now now love, none of that. I will restrain you if needed.” He reprimanded, playful edge in his voice.
Valar, he could read you like a book. Rubbing your eyes was just the beginning, and hurting yourself was the end. You whine again, but lean into his touch. You realize the vulnerability you were showing him right now, and wanted to hide it again. You force the pout off your face again.
“Little boy, look at me. You had a long day. It’s ok if the water’s too warm. It’s ok if it all feels too much. It’s ok if the only communication I get for the rest of the night is little whines. I don’t want you to hide those parts you think are annoying, because they’re not. They’re beautiful. I’ve got you. I’ve got you, sweet thing.”
You were struggling to meet his eyes, not wanting to disobey his request, but having a hard time focusing on him.
“Close your eyes for me love, just listen to me.” His cooler hands move to your shoulders, helping ground you without being too much of a contrast to the warm water. “I want to wash your hair, then get you out of here. I won’t drain the water quite yet, so if you want to get back in once it has cooled, you can. Does that sound good?”
You nod.
“Good.”
You keep your eyes closed, and Celebrimbor moves slowly as to not startle you. He washes your hair, massaging your scalp gently, caring for you in the same way he does his projects in the forge- with the upmost care and love. Once he was done with your hair, he stands and places a light kiss on your forehead and you open your eyes. He grabs a towel and lifts you from the bath, before drying you off. He purposely dries your hair off aggressively, making you smile and giggle a little bit as he messes up your hair. After you were dry, he wraps the towel around your waist and gently combs through the ruffled mess of hair he made to see you smile. You walk out of the bathroom together, and both get changed. He handed you clothes and got out of his regal robes to a comfy pair of pants and no shirt, and you into a pair of underwear shorts. He knew you couldn’t handle the texture of more clothes, and didn’t want you to overheat. You liked that he had taken over control. There was something in the quiet submission to him that was safe to you. There was nothing weird about it, just pure safety. The trust you were giving him made his heart flutter. ‘How were you so perfect?’ He wondered, not for the first time.
He lays down onto the bed, arms open for you. You lay down onto him, cool body helping your own temperature. You were feeling small again, but this time, safe. He had taken care of you but you didn’t feel like a child for what happened as badly anymore. You still felt some negativity, but you felt Celebrimbor’s mind poke at the ends of yours, and you let him in. You are hit with a wave of pure love and adoration. You nuzzle your face into his neck, and he entangles his hand into your hair, pulling you up for a quick kiss, before letting you cuddle back into his neck. He pets your hair and back gently.
“Rest sweet boy, and let me know if there’s anything you need, even if it’s me to stop touching you.”
You nod, pressing a kiss into the junction between his neck and shoulder. It was so sweet to him, he never wanted your head to leave his neck, as you were so adorable that he couldn’t help but blush at the little human he managed to get to call his own.
“I love you, my little handsome boy. Rest now.”
You respond with another kiss to his neck.
He knew exactly what it meant.
No beta, I need to go to bed. Hope you enjoyed this one, it was inspired by the fact I had a rough day, took a bath, got overstimulated, and came up with this. I know that they elves probably wouldn’t have a solid concept of transphobia, due to their androgynous nature, but I feel like a human being trans might bring way to some ill intent
Borahae peeps 💜

Out of all the elves, silvans have the largest appetites.
It’s because they’re constantly moving throught the trees, or dancing, or hunting, or fighting. Basically they are outdoors 24/7.
Their appetites grew even larger during the 3rd age because they are constantly holding back sauron, and the extra stress didn’t help.
Other elves can also eat alot, but because they’re also a lot more scholarly, with entertainment preference being singing and such (as opposed to dancing which is the silvan’s main art) means they do eat less than the silvans.
The only ones who can compete are the avari and the elves back during the age of trees before Orome found them.
So imagine:
Aragorn, Elladan, Elrohir, Legolas: *sitting down in a tavern after an adventure*
Aragorn: *ordering more than even most men eat, but still substantially less than his companions*
Elladan: aww, look at our baby brother, ordering little baby portions!
Elrohir: are you sure you can eat all that? Wouldn’t want to have a tummy ache!
Legolas: *orders 1 of everything they have in the tavern, and even 2 portions of some of it*
The twins: .....
Elrohir: are you sure you can eat all that?
Legolas: *eating all his food, never pausing, but not ravenously shoving it down* i’ll be fine. My sisters eat even more than me. But are you sure you can eat all your food? Wouldn’t want anything to go to waste.
Aragorn: HA.
Bonus:
Erestor: our food supply is even more depleted than usual! We need to stock up.
Elrond: strange. It seems that every time Legolas visits our food supply dwindles ridiculously quickly. But he can’t be the cause. There’s no way an elf could eat that much.
#lord of the rings#silmarillion#lotr#the hobbit#lotr elves#thranduil#legolas#mirkwood#greenwood the great#silvans#silvans can and will eat about 8 times as much as a man#and 4 times as much as an elf#they are always running about outside#they are hungry!#this is why they feast so often because they genuinely need to food#gimli: oh the elf only lives off of tree leaves#gimli: i on the other hand need a whole goat to pack enough energy!#legolas: *eats*#the fellowship: standing in awed silence as he easily puts away the same amount of food as all of them combined#the hobbits: *shiny eyes* i challenge you to an eating competition legolas!

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)
Bonus:

Marsupial au
[from this ask!]
The basics: everything is the same but the elves are marsupial and have pouches to carry around their babies!
Why would @nighttimepatrons and I make this au? Because it’s cute. Imagine little elflets trying to climb into their parents’ belly pouches to hide. Imagine the process of pouch-weaning an elflet who is really too big to be climbing in anymore. It’s just cute, ok?
Now, let’s talk about some elves and their pouches!
Nerdanel: Very roomy, very comfy. She’s had a lot of kids in there. Solid 8/10 (points deducted because occupants might get banged against rock she’s chiseling for her latest sculpture)
Feanor: Comfy place to curl up for a snooze but it gets a bit hot, and he will kick you out when he goes to the forge. 7/10
Maedhros: Excellent, so roomy, can easily hold two or more elflets at once, he’ll never bump against pointy table corners. 9/10 (some argue it’s too roomy)
Maglor/Celegorm/Caranthir: it’s fine, I guess, but why would you go in there when Maedhros is an option? 5/10 (at least Celegorm has good stories)
Curufin: “Leaving was the right thing to do, but I miss him sometimes. I miss all of them—who they were.” 3/10 (sample size of 1)
Ambarussar: The only things in those pouches are arrows. Unrated.
Glorfindel: A good place to hide for a few minutes or to peek out of during hikes to enjoy the view but he will evict you when he’s busy. 6/10
Erestor: Due to unfortunate childhood experiences, the only thing getting into this half-elf’s pouch is lent and yeast infections. 1/10 (Glorfindel’s trying to help)
Celeborn: He looks like the weak link during pouch-weaning, but it’s a trick. Grandpa will Not let you inside when mom says no more pouch. 7/10
Galadriel: No one’s dared to get in lately, but Celebrian reports that she was quite comfortable. 5/10 (points deducted for intimidation factor)
Celebrian: Cozy, a little tight with twins, very easy to fall asleep. 8/10
Gil-galad: Little Arwen’s claimed it as hers and only hers, so it mut be good. 7/10 (unfortunately she had to be pulled out after he fell at Sauron’s hands, which is very traumatic for an elflet)
Elrond: Much to his children’s confusion, he doesn’t have a pouch. No one in Melian’s line has one.
Marsupial clothing would be designed so that elflets have pouch access, so it isn’t an uncommon sight for little heads to suddenly poke out from between the folds of a robe, or for an elflet to start pulling at their parent’s clothes, trying to find the opening. Pants are a no-go when an elflet’s involved, there’s just no room to stretch.
Pouch hygiene is very important. A healthy pouch is a little moist and it should be regularly cleaned to prevent itchy yeast infections. Lent and dust can also cause irritation. Elrond gives Glorfindel salves to try to get Erestor to use in his crusty pouch so he doesn’t itch himself raw in his sleep.
There are some less fun parts, too, of course. Like the fact that itty bitty elflets might not be noticed if they fall out of the pouch, leaving them abandoned on the ground and too small to be alone for long. Or the way kidnappers can hold out a sack and some elflets will climb right in because it looks like a pouch. But most of this is happy! (outside of Erestor being relentlessly teased by his human playmates and Arwen being traumatized by Gil-galad’s death)
Oh, did I mention that Gil-galad, Elrond, and Celebrian are a threesome yet, because they are.
And kidnap fam totally happens. E+E like Maedhros’ pouch more than Maglor’s.
Ask me about fics that live rent-free in my head!

A very important update to my Maglor = Erestor, Finrod = Gildor, and Daeron = Lindir post.
They all take shifts as the Tra-la-la-lally elf.
Gildor thinks it's delightful and uses it as a chance to talk to all the valley's visitors. He actually uses some of his free time to teach Glorfindel some basic bard skills. Glorfindel is surprisingly into it.
Lindir refused to at first because he's composed full symphonies before, why should he spend his time on that, but then Gandalf accused him of being too afraid to improvise rhyming lyrics and the challenge was on.
Erestor just desperately needs some Tra-la-la-lally in his life. He's also re-learning to sing without making everyone around him experience the horrors. It's good practice.
Elrond, who arranged this, thought it was a master stroke because surely, if they have to talk to each other about Tra-la-la-lally duty, they'll realize, right?
They've all become pretty good friends over the years, and spend plenty of time together! They still have no idea.
Thranduil's gotten in on the betting pool. He's betting on it taking divine intervention.
#silmarillion#silm headcanons#rivendell#imladris#maglor#erestor#finrod#gildor#daeron#lindir#elrond#glorfindel#gandalf#thranduil#tra la la lally elf#this is a tragedy for Elrond and a comedy for everyone else
