Summary
There's a balance to tragedy and eucatastrophe. Even Marred, Arda was made with goodwill and divine grace - there is love and mercy and forgiveness even for those that would not accept it, even for those who don't yet realize they need it.
So sometimes you get the second chance you didn't ask for.

Summary
In the first year of the Fourth Age, after three thousand one hundred and thirty-eight unhappy, furious, grieving years of being reborn into an Aman that has been trying very hard to pretend that everything is absolutely fine ever since Morgoth was banished from the world, Fingon the Valiant walked through the Door of Night into the Void to seek the fëa of Maedhros, Kinslayer, Self-Slain, who hated himself so much upon the moment of his death that he chose Everlasting Darkness voluntarily.
He left behind an extended family who is shocked and appalled to learn of this decision - and that Námo the Doomsman was the one holding the Door open for him.
Or: The last time one of the House of Finwë fell at the hands of a Vala in Aman, the Silmarillion happened.

Summary
“That’s easy enough.” Sauron nodded at Fingon, “I want this one.”
“No,” said Maedhros, the same moment Maglor said “why?” Fingon’s own voice was stuck in his throat.
“He’s late for his wedding,” said Sauron.

Summary
Arda is full of beings who are more myth than reality, especially to those who aren't used to its strangeness. Here are stories about a few of them, seen through the eyes of those who meet, feared, and revered them.
Alternate title: elves and half-elves deserve to be a little eldritch. As a treat.
(Content Warnings are posted at the beginning of each chapter)
