    Summary

    Gil-galad burnt out like a supernova by Sauron's hand in Middle Earth.

    The thing about supernovas though, is that their matter and energy go on to form a new star.

    Fingal is the beloved son of Finrod's daughter, Berinya. He might be a little odd, but she is no stranger to her family being eccentric. This... could be more than that however.

    Summary

    Erestor finds himself thrust into adventure when Elrond requests his company escorting Arwen to Minas Tirith after the War of the Ring is won. All too aware of the chronic illness that has bound his friend to Rivendell for the past several centuries, Glorfindel has some concerns. Erestor, aware of the risks, is going anyway.

    With thanks to Elrond's_Library and Noldor_made_me_do_it for beta-ing. And a shout out to the Leaf and Lore server for encouragement and cheerleading.

    Summary

    "Do not make this little mistake in my motherhood a tragic footnote in my life, Maglor. Why must we define what living is like for difficult people in difficult places, as a tragedy? The true tragedy lies in the masking of little mistakes, the ensconcement of little lives in the language of the promising, the language of potential possessed and lost, of heroic deeds and terrible mistakes. Such words do not denote reality, they make reality feel like mass failure instead of proof of human lives lived under impossible conditions.

    Make it a part of the whole of me, a counterpart to my kindness. Do not tell them that I was the best mother in the world solely by virtue of my womanhood. Tell them Nerdanel looked at her firstborn, could not see him truly, and did not think to ask."
    _______________
    A ‘nonfictional fanfiction’ family history situating the Fëanorians in Prayers to Broken Stone, looking at the 'secular leftist' yet landowning and feudalistic Mappila Muslim family in Kozhikode between 1920 and 1980, interspersed with letters Nerdanel wrote to Maglor during her hunger strike.

    Or: why Fëanor set himself on fire after his swords were flung into the sea.

    Summary

    Behold this map of Harad which you may consult when reading The Lament for the Fallen.

    So far this document contains only one map, but I expect to sketch more of them as the story demands.
