Summary:

“Well,” the Maia starts again after a short pause of confusion that was waved away. “The Lord Námo could not simply release them from the Halls like everyone else, given the length and magnitude of their crimes.” Amrod opens his mouth. Nerdanel slaps her hand over it to prevent the comment that arose in her own mind at nearly the same time. “I see,” she says again, though she really doesn’t. Amrod and the bird make a protesting noise at almost the same time and Nerdanel shushes them both.

When the Sons of Fëanor are released from the Halls of Mandos, it's in an unusual manner, or rather, an unusual body. Steps must be taken to figure out how to return them back to their Elven bodies.

welcome to T4TOLKIEN, a trans-positive Tolkien server!!!

This is a space for uplifting trans-focused Tolkien fandom content, but anyone is welcome to join!

You do not have to be trans to get involved, and non-trans discussion is absolutely welcome. We wanted to create a space where trans identity is normalized and accepted, and in doing so that means integrating other aspects of everyday life into this server. This is a trans-positive, trans-friendly space, but it’s not a trans-only space!

I’m super excited to get this server started!! I have some amazing co-mods working with me, and I would love love love to see you join us!!!!

CONTACT A MOD FOR AN INVITE TO THE SERVER!!!

I was gonna do something serious and then i remembered my favorite headcanon

For @tolkiengenweek!

"Blood magic is completely normal," Maeglin insisted.

Idril spritzed him with a spray bottle, making him look rather like a wet cat.

"Blood magic is... not normal in most places?" he tried again, blinking water out of his eyes.

"Good job," she said. "Goodness, I'm going to need to refill this soon."

A word document of deleted scenes, some literally deleted and 2 (thus far) written for fun while knowing full well they wouldn’t fit into the story. I’ll post those when they’re relevant. A few random characterization notes, including:

Celechwes is one of the few people 99% immune to the Fëanor Effect.* It’s a combination of being married to Maedhros and having been a close witness to Fingolfin’s last ride (both meaning literal spiritual resistance built up); jadedness re: his actions and the consequences thereof, esp to some of those she loves most; and plain lack of interest in pretty much all crafting. They get along fine (post-all reembodiments) on periodic family camping trips though.

Seeking greater amity, he ruthlessly cheats and invites her to be a test subject for the Curufinwës’ experimental one-person flight technology (wings). When he presents her the final version (pending new ideas, obv), she declares him her new favorite in-law “for at least a week.”

This question was maybe raised previously? And has been annoying Feanor for a while bc he’s a whiny baby? I just think it’d be funny if she says that and he blurts out, “who IS your favorite in-law?”

“Aredhel, of course,” Celechwes says, which, fair enough. Anyone with eyes could see that, really. “But on your side—and second in general, really—Caranthir, for sure.”

(Or does she have “Moryo” privileges?)

Feanor: What?

(Because Celechwes and Caranthir have NO interests in common but they simply Vibe on the levels of ‘not very ambitious personally, at least not flashily; not (as) eager for vengeance but extremely protective of Their People & morals focus on that; finite tolerance for people, especially stupid people)

I like this one! Lots of potential.
