@aspecardaweek day six | intersectionality | bi aro aredhel

[Aredhel] was younger in the years of the Eldar than her brothers; and when she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests. There she was often in the company of the sons of Fëanor, her kin; but to none was her heart’s love given.

—The Silmarillion, “Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië”

End of Year Fic Recs

I was tagged by @swanmaids and @grey-gazania. Thank you both <3 The year hasn't ended yet, so I can post this.

Inviting all tagged authors to participate if you haven't already.

Recommend up to 5 series or multi-chapter fics from 2023 that everyone should read (multi-year WIPs count, if the last update was in 2023).

Recommend up to 5 single chapter fics/one-shots (long or short) from 2023 that everyone should read.

Recommend up to 5 fics NOT from 2023 that everyone should read (oldies but goodies).

Recommend up to 5 of your own fics (completed or WIP) from 2023 that everyone should read.

Five Series/Multi-Chapter Fics

1. By Treason of Kin Unto Kin by @amethysttribble

This epic Silm/aSoIaF crossover is the third part of Tribble's Everlasting Song series. It's gripping, fantastically written and very carefully thought out. You won't regret checking out how the sons of Feanor, reborn in Westerosi noble families, navigate the aSoIaF world.

2. The Valiant by whyyesindeed

Reborn Fingon returns to Beleriand to find his husband just before the Third Kinslaying in this beautiful and touching fic. It has a sequel too, which I haven't read yet, but I'm sure it's just as well-written as the first part.

3. Celechwes Fixes the Noldor by @tanoraqui

To my shame, I haven't finished this fic yet, but I can't recommend it enough. Celechwes - who marries both Fingon and Maedhros - is a delightful protagonist, the story flows so smoothly and is so much fun to read, while also being very moving.

4. The Seven Trials of Fingon the Valiant by @melestasflight and @polutrope

All seven sons of Feanor court Fingon in this hilarious, brilliant and inspiring fic. I had so much fun reading it, and if you haven't yet, please do yourselves a favor.

5. For We Walk by Faith, Not by Sight by an_evasive_author

This fic began in 2019 and continues to this day, and I still love it like before. Post-Thangorodrim and beyond Russingon with canon divergence. It is exceptional but deals with a very heavy subject-matter, so make sure you read the tags.

Five Single Chapter Fics/One-Shots

1. Tender Morsels by @sallysavestheday

Everything Sally writes is brilliant, but this one did something to my brain. Dark romance (like cannibalism dark) and Russingon coupled with perfect prose. It makes me go insane.

2. Project Requirements by @searchingforserendipity25

This short supply list by Miriel will delight you and break your heart. The author is an expert in this.

3. The knife that shapes the knife by @quixoticanarchy

This OC-centric fic is a careful, heartbreaking study of observing without acting, going with the flow until you sink into evil when you were trying to do good. It stayed with me for a long time.

4. enemy of good by @welcomingdisaster

Every single fic by the author could be here, I chose this one because it was the first one of I read. Maedhros is going through some stuff and tries to resolve it through bondage and sex. Incredible characterization and writing. Russingon, E-rated.

5. post mortem by @swanmaids

Examination of four Feanorian bodies post-Second Kinslaying - a brilliant idea, executed perfectly. The clinical description doesn't take away from the horror, on the contrary, adds to it.

Five Oldies but Goodies

1. No Way You Can Fall by @hhimring

Himring's Maedhros is one of my absolute favorite Maedhroses ever. This fic takes place post-canon with Maedhros freshly out of the Halls meeting a suspicious Fingolfin at Fingon's house. It is written with so much care and gentleness. It warms my heart every time I read it.

2. Tributary by @oopsbirdficced

It's a Spirited Away/Silm fusion and it's Russingon! What's not to love? Adorable, beautiful and magical, I still remember this fic from time to time, even though I read it so long ago.

3. In From the Cold by @dorwinionwhining

Short but so sweet and so well-written Russingon ficlet. The tenderness and their easiness with each other kills me. So good!

4. fools enough to love each other more than we can bear by @potatoobsessed999

After the Nirnaeth, Maedhros receives braids with golden ribbons from Morgoth. Now he has to decide if he should go and save Fingon. Unbearably painful and so good. I can't bear to reread it because it hurts so much.

5. Testrun by goldtoashes and heirsofbrokenlegacies

This is just one part of the authors' series Grow as we go. It's a Modern AU that includes pairings Maedhros/Fingon, Maedhros/Sauron, Sauron/Celebrimbor and even Maedhros/Sauron/Fingon. The whole series is amazing, but this part is my favorite because it's just Maedhros and Fingon in domestic bliss. The series is E-rated, this one part is M-rated.

Five Fics of My Own

1. Lady Makalaurë Fëanáriel Dying of Poison, Late Second Age, Artist Unknown

Post-canon Maglor wanders alone in her spaceship until she discovers something that Gil-galad has to know. This fic doesn't get much attention, which is understandable (it's an AU, a Space AU at that, genderbent and Maglor/Wife), but I loved writing it and I still like it. This was my second TRSB fic this year, and it's the first time I wrote two fics for this event, so I'm pretty proud of it.

2. My cannibalism ficlet and it's companion the other cannibalism ficlet

The first one is quite tragic because I like tormenting Fingon. The second one is lighter in mood, but it's still about cannibalism, so.

3. Alone in the Unknown

The angstiest thing I've ever written. It's the latest part of my Fingon Lives AU. This one focuses on Maglor and his futile attempts to bring Maedhros out of his near-catatonic state.

4. Fingolfin and Fingon and later Maedhros and Fingon discuss some heavy subjects

Not to be too modest, but I think I did some of my best writing here. Fingolfin has fears that Maedhros might be under Morgoth's influence and shares them with his son.

5. Now a Quill, Now a Sword

Maedhros and Fingon's relationship told mostly through letters. This fic deserves a click just for @melestasflight's absolutely stunning art embedded in there if not for anything else. It was a pleasure collaborating with them.

[dreamychaos]

face the light of wrath (rise up): chapter 5

Story by @oopsbirdficced / ingenious_spark (AO3)

Fic rating: Explicit/NC17

Warnings: for this chapter: none; for the full work: explicit sex, masturbation, references to marital rape, fantasy racism, violence & injury

Characters: Maeglin, the Sons of Fëanor

Summary:

The War of Wrath spares no person in Beleriand. All are affected, and so, all must answer the clarion call of war, in one way or another. With two Silmarils back in their grasp, the Fëanárions stand strong, all seven brothers alive and well, eyes turned to the third and the fulfillment of their oath. Lómion stands with them, even as the forces of Gondolin finally stir from their unmolested hiding place, Turucáno finally stepping forward to reluctantly take his crown. But without Eärendil and Elwing's desperate plea, how will the tides of war turn?

Chapter 5: Lómion and the Sons of Fëanor decide how to warn Doriath and Gondolin of the war, and petition for their aid.

Budding Romance

Elrond and Celebrían have the same problem: love at first sight. However, Elrond is already married to Gil-Galad.

@aspecardaweek day three | across the a-spectrum | demi caranthir

Now the people of Caranthir dwelt furthest east beyond the upper waters of Gelion, about Lake Helevorn under Mount Rerir and to the southward; and they climbed the heights of Ered Luin and looked eastward in wonder, for wild and wide it seemed to them were the lands of Middle-earth.

It's time!!! Check out this amazing fic we made for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang @tolkienrsb

Title: Sea-Heart by @senalishia

Full art here! by @oopsbirdficced

Art rating: G, Fic rating: E

Warnings: Canon-typical violence, explicit human-on-mermelf action

Relationships: Tuor/Voronwe, Tuor&Turin

Characters: Tuor, Voronwe, Turin

Word count: 33.4k

Summary: It's a Voronwe merfolk AU! The Falathrim of Cirdan were blessed by Ulmo to be able to change forms, equally at home on land or in the sea, and Voronwe inherited this gift from his mother. Unfortunately, this allowed him to tarry even longer after being shipwrecked before meeting Tuor in Vinyamar. This delay changes the course of their journey to Gondolin, allowing them to get to know each other better as well as bending their fate into the path of someone they might otherwise have missed...

Check it out now!

[tolkienrsb]

Hello, Tolkien lovers!  In the spotlight today to help us get over the midweek hump, we have...

Ingenious_Spark // Bird

 I'm Bird, and I'm signed up as an author for the TRSB! This is the third year running I have participated. I've been in the fandom since my husband dragged me into it back when we first met in college, a good 7 or 8 years ago now. I'm a writer, though I seem to write mostly weird niche stuff. I'm quite content in my corner, though. You can find me on:

 AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/ingenious_spark

Tumblr: https://dreamychaos.tumblr.com -or- https://oopsbirdficced.tumblr.com - @oopsbirdficced

Discord: eldritchdreamingchaos#0921

 of a harsh and caustic nature (the root of hope)

 Rating: T/PG13

Pairing: Caranthir/Finrod

Warnings: minor violence

Story summary: 

You could not find two people cut of a more different cloth than Findaráto Ingoldo Arafinwion and Morifinwë Carnistir Fëanárion. It is, perhaps then, Fate's cruel whims or the One's idea of a particularly entertaining joke that they be bound together in a sacred union.

They survive.

Notes: This was mainly inspired by the idea that Caranthir is supposed to hate Finarfin's sons the most, and what might happen if he was bound to Finrod in a truly inescapable way, I.E. through a soulmate bond. As such, it's a trope inversion and an extremely slow burn. Additionally, it's got elements of political drama, homesteading, and high seas hijinks.
