Summary
At the twilight of the Second Age, as Sauron's shadow lengthens, the Elven lords forge alliances in the oldest way: through marriage. Círdan the Shipwright pledges his children to secure the future, his daughter Meríliel (main OC) to the legendary hero Glorfindel, and his son to the House of Oropher. However, Meríliel finds herself drawn to Oropher's grandson, Legolas, and their choices will force them to live with consequences through tragedy, pride and loyalty that will haunt their paths for centuries to come.
A telling of forbidden love, old grudges against the Noldor, tragedy and redemption, woven into the canonical history and politics of Middle-Earth, featuring original characters woven into the gaps of Tolkien's lore, expanding cultural and linguistic aspects along the way.
This story is updated weekly, mostly based on The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales and The Fall of Númenor. Original lore is also contextualized when relevant, detailing tweaks for clarity.

Summary
So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
It softens his temper a little, binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest in the battle of Lammoth, and receives weregild.
Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he will co-operate. Yet, though a good man, he is no less proud and ambitious.Can they find a healthy way to co-exist? Perhaps not. They are a little too awful to one another. Still, they will try.
Meanwhile, Elu Thingol's concerns are not unjustified, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien labours to make her own future possible. Can a somewhat better united Beleriand stand against Morgoth?
--
[Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.] -

Summary
Quiet, until a voice calls out into that all-consuming velveteen that Tyelkormo has not heard since the Darkening--
“Please,” it says, though not begging, never begging, “Do not make me regret the kindness I had offered you.”
He looks up from his knives, finding Findaráto looking at him or perhaps through him with his jaw tightly set, and his own masseters tighten in response.
“I cannot swear you such an oath, Artafindë.” He lowers his head until their eyes are level with each other, blue Tirion lake to quicksilver that slips through one’s grasp. “Regret what you will. I am bound by my own duties, and pity will not stay me from honouring them.”
“Would anything?” Findaráto asks.
“No,” Tyelkormo answers, not hesitating even as long as it takes him to fill his lungs with air. “Nothing. There is nothing else.”---
Celegorm, Finrod, several conversations on totality and the necessity of violence before the end.

Summary
On the night after the coronation, the wind was cold. Fires still burned in the north; their light could be seen, flickering on the far reaches of the horizon, but they provided no warmth. Even had they been closer, it would have only been heat that they radiated. A figure stood on the ramparts of the keep at Hithlum, where the ceremony had been held, more solemn than joyous. The wisdom of having so many of the rulers so near the great darkness to the north, given what had happened– what was happening– was questionable, at best. But their luck held. For now.
A conversation between two kings of the Noldor.

Summary
Thranduil’s realm has stood apart for centuries—silent, secretive, and sealed against the outside world. The aloof king trusts no one beyond his borders, least of all the grim and prideful Noldor.
When young Prince Legolas, playful and curious despite his father’s stern warnings, strays too close to Imladris, he is captured by the infamous twin sons of Elrond. Elladan and Elrohir—war-hardened, merciless, and known for hunting orcs with cold precision—are not prepared for the golden-haired wood elf who stirs more than just suspicion.
Bound by ancient grudges and deep scars, both realms stand on the edge of renewed conflict. But amid the tension, one of Elrond’s sons begins to see past the bloodlines and borders—to the light in Legolas that refuses to dim.
And light has always drawn shadow.

Summary
Growing up in Valinor at the noldorin court in Tirion Laurefindele has trouble adjusting to lies and schemes. An elusive supporter of Feanor sets up a plot to the kinslaying long years before it happens. Elenwe, crownprincess of the Vanyar and an influental figure at the noldorin court works with Laurefindele to uncover the conspirators before the worst comes to pass. Between all the sharp tongued courtiers and ruthless schemes Laurefindele falls for a gentle court musician who accompanies him way beyond the shores of Valinor and necessity brings them together on the ice.
A story about Glorfindel growing up as a vanyarin prince in Valinor who falls in love with Ecthelion, a musician at court. Strangers to one sided pining to friends to lovers. Spans from his youth in YT 1457 to YS 9 in Vinyamar. Through the years repetitive appearances from all different cousins and half-cousins, family feuds and lots of character developement.
A lot of Valinor lore, cities, culture, much of it canon compliant.
There is a part Glorfindel/maleOC but in all honesty, Glorthelion is endgame, and the best part? The whole thing is also available von Ecthelions PoV! Look at the Series!

Summary
What do you do when a certain Balrog Slayer has just waltzed into the Hall of Fire after being reborn, like he only popped out ten minutes ago to powder his nose? Erestor doesn't know. There aren't protocols for that. All he knows is that Glorfindel is handsome, Lindir is going to tease him about this for a century and he needs to find somewhere in Imladris for him to stay.
Things can't get more complicated than that, right?
There are consequences to dalliances with a bonded elf, consequences Erestor doesn't wish to feel.

Summary
He has listened to Annatar thus far. And now that Celebrimbor has declared himself Lord of Eregion, it seems to be in his best interest to let Annatar continue to lead him and his realm to even greater heights and more ambitious accomplishments.
The first order of business will be to establish a new society of loremasters, to mirror the golden age of Noldorin society in Tirion. The second order of business will be to figure out how in the world to go about correctly implementing the first order of business.
(Now if only Celebrimbor could figure out if Annatar is just a very good friend and companion, or... something else.)

Summary
“It’s of no matter,” Curufin says flatly. Here they are, still, in the palatial rooms that Finrod had given them, Tyelkormo pacing with Huan at his heel, yet even Huan gives a doubtful look at this.
“No matter?” Celebrimbor says. “How many days is it since you dared to walk among them? They stir against you! Your fine words have failed—only Orodredth is keeping them from storming these halls, and that not much longer."
