Summary: Tuor comes to Gondolin and meets the lovely Idril Celebrindal and her husband, the recalcitrant Maeglin. They befriend him, welcoming him into their lives easily, as though he'd always been there.

It's not much of a stretch after that to also invite him to share their marriage.

A collaboration created for the 2022 Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, @tolkienrsb !!!!!

My gift to @isilloth for the @officialtolkiensecretsanta, who requested a fic about Aredhel and/or Caranthir/Haleth. Well you get Aredhel, and a side of Caranthir/Haleth, in a Modern AU.

Summary : If she can get her life together, and if her family doesn't have anything to say Aredhel might just survive this Christmas. And then become the person she always wanted to be. Who knows?

You can find it here on Ao3

In the spring of Nargothrond, Maeglin crafts a necklace, Finduilas plans a festival, and both confront a few truths about themselves.

So I wrote a fic for Isilloth for this year’s Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang called Cast Light Upon Our Hearts. The art prompt was for Finduilas and Maeglin in Nargothrond. I was very happy to write fic for one of my favorite rarepair/crackships, and I’m excited for you all to read the fic I wrote and see the full art Isilloth made once posted fic and art is revealed on the AO3 community.

Once reveals are made, you will be able to follow the links to the fic and the art here:

Rating and Warnings: The art is rated G/K. The fic is rated T/PG-13. None of AO3’s archive warnings apply here; I mostly rated the fic T for safety, since Maeglin is still suffering from the trauma of his childhood.

How I feel about this character

She’s my gurl! I love her so much!

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Aredhel/Celegorm is the absolute OTP. I just ... love them together, okay? Their dynamics; their mutual interests. They are just .. perfect together. But since I also ship C/C, I guess I am shipping C/C/A because damn: Aredhel ships C/C HARD.

And then there’s this very nasty one-sided unhealthy pining for what I can’t have Aredhel ship in Gondolin 🙉🙊

... and well, Gondolin - Aredhel/Glorfindel? D: because yes, I’m here for that. I’m here for Glorfindel/Ecthelion/Aredhel, too :D

And somebody recently wrote Haleth/Aredhel, AND HELL YES. That was a good fic.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Aredhel & Celegorm & Curufin.

Aredhel & Glorfindel.

AREDHEL & HAPPINESS

My unpopular opinion about this character

Can anything about Aredhel be unpopular? I genuinely doubt it, but: Nan Elmoth was 100% abuse and you can pry this from my cold dead hands.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

How I feel about this character: okay so I didn’t actually care too much about her except for anger on her behalf UNTIL I started writing Blessed Hands and she suddenly became the best Nolofinwëan sibling ever. So I guess the lesson is “write and learn to love her”? Maybe?

All the people I ship romantically with this character: uhhhh nobody. absolutely no one. except maybe Amdis, who’s an OC from BH? And that’s just me going “what sounds best to this local useless lesbian” tbh

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Aredhel/happiness. More than really anybody else.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don’t really have much interest in her relationship with Eöl being happy or healthy or good. I’ve never understood the urge to make that situation into a happy family, and it’s not something I’ll ever really explore in fanworks I don’t think.

6.Are you the type of person who will read a book to the end whether you like it or not, or will you put it down straight away if you’re not feeling into it?No I finish what I start unless I’m REALLY not feeling it....the only book I can remember not finishing cause i didn’t like it was Where’d You Go, Bernadette, and that was just cause the brown people jokes annoyed me to that point.

7.Have you ever despised something you have read?

Oh yeah for school totally...a lot is mostly me having difficulty getting used to texts written in a racist way like i read Ooronoko cause it was important as a novel written by a woman in the period but like.....gross. Heart of Darkness for the same reason.

8. Do you prefer to read first person or third person?
