Summary
Maitimo never meant to be captured trying to regain the Silmaril. He never meant to help fulfill Moringotho's worst prophecies. But he's stuck in Angamando with a fallen Vala who loathes him and lusts for him in equal parts, and he's going to have to find a way to stay sane, for death will not come for him.
Meanwhile, Findekáno is stuck crossing the Helcaraxë, seeking redemption and a lover whom he believes has abandoned him. He's also stuck with a wife he does not love and a son whose growth is alarmingly slow. As the resolve of everyone around him slowly crumbles, he must decide if he can become the leader that his people need and reassure them that day shall come again.

Summary
Fëanor should have been cast into the Void. Námo had pronounced their Doom, yet here he was, in the Halls of Mandos, staring at the dark walls of a dark cell. His breathing seemed too loud in his ears in the stillness of this tomb.
Only in death did Fëanor and Fingolfin finally settle their differences.

Summary
“I hardly believed it,” said Maedhros. “What are you doing here?”
"I bring a message from my father."
Maedhros blinked. "Really?"
Fingon grinned. "I believe his exact words were: you're visiting who, well if you must you must, say something suitable, something something friendship something something kinsmen, tell him good job keeping my brother's sons out of trouble, I'd rather wrestle another ice bear myself – but don't say it like that!"
_Fingon goes to visit Maedhros, accidentally arrives during a Fëanorion family reunion, and quickly regrets many (but not all) of his life choices.

In This Mad Season, I Come Undone by steadfastalysanne2022

Summary
Starting in 1300 Years of the Trees and ending with the burning of the ships at Losgar: Maitimo and Findekáno become friends and gradually become something more while Maitimo struggles with his sexuality and Findekáno pretends that he isn't going through the same thing. But then the lies of Morgoth come between them, and Findekáno makes a choice that will haunt them for the rest of their days in this lifetime. But no matter what else happens, they will always come back together, even as the skies of Valinor darken.
This began with my desire to write a story charting Fingon and Maedhros' developing relationship and the troubles that they might have faced in a society dominated by Manwë and Varda. Then it exploded.
As a warning, after chapter 21, there will be Silm-typical violence and a Gil-Galad origin story, along with the deaths of Finwë and Fëanáro.
The title comes from the chorus of Matchbox Twenty’s Mad Season.
