My neighbor, today: This is your fault, you know.

*My new car is only nine years old, which is the newest car I've ever had. When I bought it someone asked how long I planned to keep it, and I stared at them in confusion. "Until it can't be fixed anymore," I said.
PS, the cannas are blooming and the dahlias are as tall as I am. Today I set up an auxiliary trellis so our passionflower vines would have more room to climb. They are v adventurous.

Summary: Centuries after the arrival of the Noldor and the Teleri in Beleriand, a celebration of Morgoth’s defeat brings the Crown Princess of Doriath and the Crown Prince of the Noldor together. To save this newborn peace from their respective fathers, they’ll do whatever it takes. Including... getting married?
Meanwhile, Lord Fingon of Himring faces the monumental task of healing Morgoth’s ills.
--
They regarded each other with quiet understanding, all the vast majesty of their respective lineages rendered unimportant by the connection between them. Music wound through the trees; harp and flute, surely joyous in context, sounded lonely in their solitude.
Reccer's Notes: Fëanor is a very complex character in the Silmarillion, who both has reasons for what he does and also does some terrible things. Fanon tends to sympathize with him, and also make him a good father to compensate for his other issues. SpaceWall takes the opposite track, leaning into his selfishness, his arrogance, and his suspiciousness. And then asks, if he had survived on Beleriand, what would have happened? If Fëanor, brilliant and terrible, were in command of the Noldor? Some things are better, some things are worse, (and Thingol is still Thingol), and so at a crucial juncture Maedhros and Luthien step forward to try and prevent disaster and war between the Noldor and Sindarin. And, in the process, they both learn a great deal.
