Friday Fanfic Recs

[rocky41_7]

Worry by onthesandsofdreams - Thelian fluff with Thingol and Melian discussing Luthien’s upcoming birth <3 Very cute!

Berrypicking Time by swampdiamonds - My personal favorite Finduilas/Nienor fic. Really captures the heart of this ship, which is their healing together from their canon traumas.

Less Flesh Than Stone by crackinthecup - Honestly I froth at the mouth anytime someone writes about Maedhros and Elwing interacting. Here, Maedhros approaches Elwing in Valinor after rebirth. I love this interaction.

Joy is A Bird, A Fragile Thing by estuarie - Other interactions I die for: Elrond and Elwing reuniting in Aman. I’m crying just thinking about it. This is just all the slightly bittersweet, loving healing that Elrond needs.

Sins of the Father by HewerOfCaves - AUGH Nolofinwean family drama TT_TT This fic does a fabulous job of digging into Turgon’s attitude about the Helcaraxe and how that impacts his relationships with his immediate family. This is so good, it’s messy and realistic and it hurts.

Friendship and Stern Demand by @polutrope - More Elwing and Maedhros! This fic tackles their correspondence before the Third Kinslaying. Fantastic politicking on both ends and excellently well-researched.

What Happens After by The_Wavesinger - I love how this fic handles both Finduilas and Nienor’s relationship with each other, as well as their families.
