After having drawn inspiration from @balrogballs Prayers to Broken Stone, I will be unleashing a 5 chapter story called Anderson Road, featuring my OTP numero uno, Eönwë and Gothmog. It will be given a Sri Lankan twist, and while some elements will be drawn from real Sri Lankan locations, information, food, history, etc., the rest will be purely fictional. The first chapter will be posted this Sunday, and a chapter will be posted every last Sunday of the month.
I hope you all enjoy reading it.
Disclaimer: There will be no FĂ«anorians involved in this story and as such, no Comrade Maedhros. I am sorry đThere will be a pastor, however. Hopefully he will show his face somewhere around chapter three. And yes, my favourite duo will be seeing some 18+ action đ

Fanuin (year) along with his brothers Danuin (Day) and Ranuin (month) were the three sons of Aluin, the Ainu of Time, in Tolkienâs earlier writings. They appear in The Book of Lost Tales, where they are sent by the father to help the Valar govern time. The three sons were said to have the appearance of old men, similar to the Istari, Fanuin is described as the tallest, with a long beard that swept the ground as he walked.
After appearing before the Valar and stating their mission in an ambigous way, they request a room where they can perform their work in private. The Valar were initially confused and suspicious of the three individuals (some of them even suspected this might be a trick of Melkorâs) but they were also fascinated and gave them a room in Auleâs house where the three brothers set to work. The three brothers each create an invisible âcordâ that they present to the Valar to help them establish order over time in Arda.
The short passage involving the children of Aluin is interesting, but it is also confusing to readers because many major events happen before this scene. It raises questions about how the Valar could exist and do things and how could things grow and live if âtimeâ didnât exist until the three brothers enter Arda. Tolkien was clearly aware of these problems and, instead of resolving them, the three brothers and their story were dropped and donât appear in the Silmarillion. Itâs important to note that this story was also written before Tolkien created the character VairĂ« the Weaver, the Vala who is responsible for recording time.
    Danuin is another of the Lanyir, and his name means Before Long Ago. He is the chief of the spirits of the Lanyir who help Vairë weave the tapestries of history, and who cover the halls of Mandos with webs of knowledge, in keeping of the realm of memory as well. He is the recorder of the Past. He is the patron of knot magic, and is given reverence as a keeper of days. He is one of the three brothers together with Ranuin and Fanuin.
An Enönwë and Gothmog multi-chapter story, but with a Sri Lankan twist.
Story summary: On an extended trip home, Gothmog and Eönwë, now married, must contend with the non-acceptance they had left behind. A reunion later takes place, and a permanent severing of bonds is then made.
Minors DNI | đ | You are responsible for the media you consume
Ămar (Amilo) | Salmar: Courtship with them means outings to watch Valmarâs finest musicians and poets and storytellers put on plays, poetry recitals, and symphonies beneath the stars, or visits to Tol EressĂ«a. They would wine you, dine you, and shower you with unsolicited compliments on how wonderful you look and how grateful they are to have you. They are also quite good when it comes to listening and will cheer you on when you are in need of it.
Neither Salmar nor Ămar are prone to jealousy and will think nothing of your interactions with famous elves and Ainur greater than even them. Trust is an important quality to them, and they will show you that they trust you implicitly.
Salmar would seat you beneath the golden leaves of Laurelin and serenade you with a melody he composed himself. Or he would take you to the shores of Tol EressĂ«a, so the two of you could explore its beaches, keep a watch for the whales that pull Ulmoâs chariot to the surface, or sit still and listen to the sounds of the UlumĂșri.
Ămar will often read to you or teach you a new language. To encourage you to learn more and for the both of you to enjoy the experience, he would arrange little scavenger hunt-type games all over his manse and the gardens where you have to interpret words and clues correctly in order to win the game.
Gifts from them usually come in the form of little music boxes that play sweet songs when you wind them or poetry and songs that have been composed in your honor.
NielĂquie | Silmo: Courtship with them is playful, light, and full of mischief. They would take you on long, leisurely walks all over the forest of OromĂ« or the Gardens of LĂłrien, or invite you to picnics beneath the canopy of a large tree, or, in NielĂquieâs case, tea in the tree-propped halls she calls home.
Silmo would bring you bouquets full of flowers found only in the Gardens, and prepare for you little treats using herbs and fruits found there. Other times, he would take you to search for rare moths and butterflies that call the Gardens their home. And other times, games of hide and seek beneath the stars.
NielĂquie would prepare for you meals from her fatherâs kitchens, and the two of you would play with the hunting dogs that often hang around the feasting hall. Sometimes she would invite you to climb onto the thick branches of the trees that grow in every hall, so that two of you could talk or silently watch the others as they went about their day. Other times, she would gift you rare feathers, shells, and bones for you to wear on your clothes or fix to your hair. If she gets in the mood for it, she will carve little trinkets for you out of wood.
Silmo and NielĂquie are two of the most affectionate Ainur, so expect lots of hugs, kisses, and cuddles, especially when you are least expecting it. Trust is just as important to them, but Silmo might become a bit playful about it and tease you about the elf or the ainu that tried to flirt with you.
Tevildo: Courtship with him almost always includes an elaborate feast, one that he prepared with his own hands. Tevildo knows how to set a tasty table, and the food and drink are both plentiful and to your liking.
He can be exceedingly generous if he likes you, often presenting you with gifts that he knows are suited to your interests. Sometimes these gifts are priceless jewels and trinkets that one would never see in oneâs lifetime. Other times, he would command his thralls to wait on you, hand on foot, while he is away. And there are other times where he will craft little trinkets himself, usually jewel encrusted collars you could wear around your throat.
Tevildo prefers open and polyamorous relationships to monogamous ones, so you would have to be willing to accept such an arrangement if he pursues you. However, if you do capture his particular attention, he will become exceedingly jealous, openly declaring that you are one of his chosen companions and marking you as his so the others will know to leave you alone. He would even kill someone if they dared to show anything other than an innocent interest in you.
Makar| MeĂĄssĂ« | LĂșsion | Telimektar: These Ainur are not the most expressive when it comes to tender words, the giving of gifts, acts of service, or quality time itself, so they make up for the lack by being physical with hugs, hand holding, and acts of intimacy.
Courtship with them means outings to the arena to watch athletes spar against each other, or them, if they are challenged. Courtship with them also means dancing, play fighting or learning a new sport together. LĂșsion and Telimektar are elegant dancers, while Makar and MeĂĄssĂ« prefer sparring to gliding across a dance floor. Still, they would make the effort for your sake, and the night will either end up with you being left breathless and giddy (if youâre dancing with LĂșsion and Telimektar) or reduced to fits of giggles along with your partner (if youâre dancing with Makar and MeĂĄssĂ«).
Activities such as hiking, archery, and horseback riding will occupy the majority of their time with you. They will teach you if you are a beginner, or use the need to teach as an excuse to be near you.
Jealousy is a common trait for all of them. If they see someone besides them getting too close to you, they will walk up to you and your new acquaintance and introduce themselves. Given their reputation as fierce warriors, putting the fear of Eru into the mind of your new acquaintance and sending them running is nothing for them. What gifts they do give you are simple but well made. Leather bracelets, steel jewelry, and, if you have an interest in them, finely forged weapons.
Aluin | Nornorë | Fanuin | Ranuin | Danuin : These Ainur do not have much time for their partners or even themselves due to the duties they have been charged with, but they go over and beyond when they get the opportunity to do so. Courtship with them often means being whisked away to Ilmarin or the Timeless Halls themselves for these meetings.
Nornorë is often away due to his role as a herald for the Elder King, so when the chance to call on you presents itself, he prefers to take you to Ilmarin. There, the two of you could go to the highest window of the highest tower and watch the stars while clouds swirl beneath the gates of the lofty halls. He would lead you to a little room so the two of you could eat and spend time with each other, or he would stay with you at the base of Taniquetil, taking you around the city the Vanyar built for themselves. Other times, he would write beautiful letters and send them to you when duty keeps him away. His gifts are always uncommon things he finds when he has to travel all over Valinor and Middle-Earth to carry out his duties.
Aluin, Fanuin, Ranuin, and Danuin are, more often than not, away in the Timeless Halls. It is a place full of mystery and wonder, and you are the only outsider permitted to enter it. What free time they have would be devoted entirely to you. They would enchant their own chambers to mimic your favorite time of the day, the season, or the year. Their gifts vary, from bejeweled sun dials or sand clocks, silver stars or golden sun pendants, gems that look like leaves or snowflakes, to beautifully painted maps of EĂ€.
Jealousy is not always a problem with them, but they may take it into their head to remind you who you belong to if they find someone else trying to become too friendly with you.
Ilinsor: Before the destruction of the trees, Ilinsor would often call on you. After the Two Trees were destroyed and he was charged with guiding the moon, Ilinsor could no longer come to Valinor. It is as hard for him as it is for you, but he still finds a way to see you, often visiting you in your dreams by making the most out of Ăsanwe. Through these means, he can recreate all sorts of wonderful scenes to spend time with you, whether it be a beach at twilight or forests bathed in bright sunlight.
He cannot send you gifts himself, so he often calls on Nornorë's aid for this purpose. Letters, poems, and bejeweled gifts are the order of the day, for he loves to spoil you. Ilinsor can become extremely jealous as well, for he is so far away from you. He would ask you to wear a special locket around your neck so that rivals for your affections would see it and look elsewhere for a companion.

Summary: The three brothers join others waiting to watch the first rising of the sun.
A/n : I wrote this short-fic with the idea of the children of Aluin appearing before the proper forming of the sun and moon, and not after that.

It was a most strange labor, crafting and spinning and weaving in secret, then presenting that which could not be seen by neither God nor Elf. It was stranger still to bear witness to the sight of the Elder King afraid. And yet, this was the duty they had been charged with, and by the Father of all, no less, to aid the others and the new lights that were about to be released unto the world.
âThe ships that bear the new lights have now been bound by the everlasting fetters of time.â Fanuin stood beside his brethren and kept an unwavering eye on the dark sky. The white marble path was now full with a throng of Eldar and Gods alike, all eager to witness the first rising of the brilliant golden orb that would forever herald the arrival of daylight. âAnd Arda will be changed forever."
âAye,â Danuin agreed. âAnd then we must set our eyes to the tasks Eru charged us with.â
A hushed murmur rippled through the large crowd. âThere,â Danuin pointed to the horizon. âAnd just as we planned as well.â
A thin strip of golden-yellow light flashed above the water. It grew brighter and brighter as the vessel bearing the sun rose higher and higher, painting the skies around it in vivid hues of yellow and pink and orange and gold. The others could not see the mighty fetters that bound ship and light to time, but they did, and they admired the works of their hands in silence.Â
âWe have done well,â Fanuin declared, his entire being swelling with pride. âWe have done very well, I think.â
The brothers exchanged glances and smiled at each other. Not another word was spoken as they all stood still and watched while the deep, dark curtain of night drew back when the sun first arose.
Summary: After receiving special permission from Eru, Aluin creates something of his own.

It was after he, IlĂșvatar, made first the holy ones, did Aluin, the oldest of them all, approach him and say, âBehold, oh lord, the majesty and glory of your works! Behold your children, and the purpose you have charged them with! Alas, the task you have set before me is too great for my own shoulders to bear.â
Then IlĂșvatar arose and hearkened his words. âPerhaps that is so. Come. Let us take a journey, you and I.â
Then they journeyed, and Aluin watched, amazed, as his Lord and Creator led him to the Void and brought him before the Flame Imperishable. It blazed golden and green, full of life and spirit all of its own.
âWith this,â he explained, reaching into the blazing flames, âall things are possible. Extend your hand, and what you seek will be made real.â
Aluin obeyed, his amazement rising in leaps and bounds when the flames flickered and danced over his palm. There was warmth in that sacred fire, but nothing that would cause harm to his being. Aluin turned to face his lord. Eru merely nodded and said, âYou know the rest.â
He who was master of Time closed his eyes and wove a song that was mighty and wondrous to hear. Three themes he sang, and with each theme, he imbued a fragment of his own spirit. Eru perceived what was unfolding before his eyes and was glad.
âHere are your helpers, Aluin!â He declared. âHere are the ones that will aid you in your many works!â
Aluin opened his eyes and smiled. Before him stood three new lords. Brethren they were, their countenance was neither youthful nor ancient, their eyes holding the wisdom of the ages, their vigor great.
âThis one I name Danuin.â Aluin stood before the smallest of them all. âHe will be the Lord of Days.â
âThis one,â Aluin stood before he who was of middling stature, âI dub Ranuin, Lord of Months."
âAnd this one?â
âThis one, my lord,â Aluin came before the tallest amongst the three brethren, âI will call Fanuin, the Lord of Years. They will be my attendants, oh Creator of us all. They will be my children.â
And Eru said unto Aluin, âThen so it shall be.â
In Tolkienâs earlier writings, primarily The Book of Lost Tales, there is a plot element involving the control of time in Arda. Around the time that the sun and moon were created, three Ainur named Danuin, Ranuin, and Fanuin appear to the Valar. They tell the Valar that they were sent by their father Aluin, the eldest of all the Ainur who represents Time and still abodes with Illuvatar, to help the Valar âgovernâ time in Arda. All three siblings are described as being elderly in appearance, much like the Istari. Danuin represents a day, Ranuin represents a month, and Fanuin represents a year, and each one creates an invisible cord relating to their period of time to present to Manwe.Â
This story was eventually dropped from Tolkienâs later writings and doesnât appear in the published Silmarillion, probably because the story is confusing/problematic. This event is presented as if Time is first being established in Arda, which doesnât make much sense because many of major events (the Music of the Ainur, The Spring of Arda, The Two Trees, etc.) that do appear in the Silmarillion have already happened by the time this happens. Obviously time already existed or nothing could have already happened, right? Also, âFather Timeâ type figures appear in many cultures and are typically depicted as elderly, but calling Aluin the eldest of the Ainur doesnât make sense since they were all created at the same time by Eru Illuvatar. Writings eventually make it clear that the Valarin Years that preceeded the creation of the Two Trees of Valinor, as well as the Years of the Trees, were different from each other as well as from the ânormalâ years after the Sun and Moon (Years of the Sun) were created (one âdayâ in the Years of the Trees is equivalent to 84 hours in ânormalâ time), so this event was maybe supposed to help clarify that.
I will eventually make seperate moodboards for each of the three sons.
