Title: As little might be thought

Text type / Format: Ficlet, Prompt fill

Source / Fandom: Silmarillion

Rating: T (expletives, intense arguments)

Word Count: 1000 (!)

Summary:

Elros appears — hair half-unbraided, clad only in trousers. “If it isn’t the return of the Noldor,” he jeers, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded.

Snarling, Maglor stalks closer. Maedhros keeps his distance. "Out,” Maglor commands. “Now.”

“Get f----d,” Elros says, his Quenya perfectly accented. Elrond blinks; he never realized Elros paid Maglor’s lessons attention. “You heard me, you murderous bastards,” Elros says, unintimidated. "F--- off and take your jewel-fetish with you. I've got something you can swear on – ”

Maglor lunges but Maedhros is quicker, and he pulls him back.

~~~
Given his first taste of freedom, Elros pushes his limits.

Title: The Warrior and the Stone

Source / Fandom: Silmarillion

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 992

Summary:
“They left everything behind? All of their families?” Elrond asks.

“Yes."

“All for a magic stone?” he asks.

“Yes. A very special, very magical stone,” Maglor says, unsure why he should have to justify his deeds to a child.

~~~

Maglor tells Elrond and Elros a story. Maedhros listens.

Source / Fandom: Silmarillion

Rating: teen + (mature/disturbing themes)

lferion

Author: Lferion
Title: Domesticity
Text type / Format: Prose and Poetry
Source / Fandom: Silmarillion
Prompt:-- Tolkien Short Fanworks, June challenge: Thematic prompt Cattle or other domestic animal, Form prompt Bredlik
-- SWG May Vintage challenge -- Literature:N3 FreeSpace-Slice-of-Life, Art:B2 Pop Art, Poetry:N4 Bredlik, Fandom:G2 Curtainfic
Rating: T
Word Count: 638
Notes: This piece is the final part of Ilverien but can stand alone, I believe. Two established points in this 'verse are that most Elves can lactate if they want to, and Fingon, Maedhros, and always-a-girl Ilvrin Littleheart (Ilverien) are all married to each other. Contains mild sexual elements.
Summary: A picnic on the lawn of the Cottage - a quintuple drabble and a poem

Pairing: Maedhros/Fingon
Text type / Format: Ficlet
Source / Fandom: Silmarillion
Rating: Teens
Warnings: none
Word Count: 141
Summary: Maedhros and Fingon under a tree.
Author notes: An old piece. This is the epilogue of my story "A Stiff Northern Breeze" that I had posted in some spaces as stand-alone piece, because I am fond of it in this form, too. It is less easy to find like that now, for various reasons, so I thought I would like to have it here.

Title: Innocence

Characters: Maedhros, the Noldor as a people

Text type / Format: ficlet

Source / Fandom: Silm

Rating: General

Warnings: n/a

Word Count: 495

Summary: Maedhros goes to parlay with Morgoth. How different the world they imagined must have been.
Author notes: Nur-Menel is a name for the Lesser Firmament, Varda's dome above Aman that imitates the real stars (but closer, brighter). Which is to say; this is more or less the later Round World verse, where the sun did exist from the start (but was not always visible from either Valinor or because of Morgoth). ETA: LOL AU because I forgot Morgoth introduced lying in Valinor (I think being familiar with false rumours... is somewhat relevant...). WELL. My only excuse is that I wrote this in 10 minutes. :(
