A collection of short stories, written as gifts for the Silmarillion Stockings event:
1. Curufin cannot free himself of his doom. He will do what he can for Aredhel.

7. Fingon braves the winter and journeys to Himring, but his romantic surprise does not go quite as planned.

To Love and Die in Gondolin by Melesta
Fandom The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
09 Nov 2023
Summary
Maeglin & Idril centered series, exploring the reasons behind the downfall of Maeglin and Gondolin. Be warned: lots of psychology, politics, and angst.
I will make references to stories within the series but they can be read independently. Ordered somewhat chronologically, posted as the muses dictate.

Summary
Quiet, until a voice calls out into that all-consuming velveteen that Tyelkormo has not heard since the Darkening--
“Please,” it says, though not begging, never begging, “Do not make me regret the kindness I had offered you.”
He looks up from his knives, finding Findaráto looking at him or perhaps through him with his jaw tightly set, and his own masseters tighten in response.
“I cannot swear you such an oath, Artafindë.” He lowers his head until their eyes are level with each other, blue Tirion lake to quicksilver that slips through one’s grasp. “Regret what you will. I am bound by my own duties, and pity will not stay me from honouring them.”
“Would anything?” Findaráto asks.
“No,” Tyelkormo answers, not hesitating even as long as it takes him to fill his lungs with air. “Nothing. There is nothing else.”---
Celegorm, Finrod, several conversations on totality and the necessity of violence before the end.

Summary
Findecáno finds him chained. Worse, he finds him torn by darkness - the Foe's roots drinking deeply inside.
So Findecáno Sings. He battles, grabs victory from the jaws of grief. He moves in and fills the emptied gaps.
This is not a good thing.
