    Summary

    “The Maedhros who stands before his son is not one thing but many. He is a struck-down statue. He is a fading demon. He is a sword in a nuclear war. He is historical debris. He is the sum of a nation’s ruin. He is the first sunset of the Empire’s apocalypse. He is Elrond’s beloved Baba, who would find him under every starless sky. Archives will dissect him. Historians will redeem him. Writers will swallow him whole.”

    In 1937, notorious Indian revolutionaries Maedhros Fëanorian and his brother Maglor, take in a British colonial officer's twin sons and raise them to adulthood. Decades later, Elrond Peredhel, trying to leave a family tragedy behind in England, returns to India during a time of political turbulence and finds that everything, from the national landscape to his firebrand father, the ineffable Comrade Maedhros, has changed. Chapter 19: Epilogue, Afterword and 'Alternate' Ending.

    Summary

    "What Elrond did was simple. He partitioned the layers of his soul and allowed nothing to permeate across them, never let the Lord of Imladris and bearer of Vilya cross into the bossy little elfling Maglor and Maedhros had loved."

    A re-embodied Maedhros and Maglor arrive in Imladris with only fragmented memories of their final years — and find that Elrond had built an enormous statue glorifying their redemption, yet omitted their final fates from the histories he wrote as a loremaster.
    ----------------------
    A Return to Imladris fic with elements of magic realism, postcoloniality and the politics of memory, also featuring the youthful sleuths, Legolas and a teenaged Aragorn.

    Summary

    Long ago, in his younger years, Maglor used to think of the whole world as his audience, but as he is now, terribly old and weary, he shied away from the stage. He no longer deserved it.
    Once Noldolantë was completed, he sang it to exhaustion, and buried it, fighting it back and swallowing it down when he could feel his Song wanting to escape into the open again.
    It hurt, and that…that, he thought, he deserved.
    ***
    Well into his self imposed exile, Maglor finds himself once again faced with a past he cannot outrun and an old flame that refuses to die, deep within his heart.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of their tumultuous arrival in Beleriand, Maglor has scarcely managed to hold together the bruised and splintering House of Fëanor and their Sindarin allies.

    Then, the Sun's first rising brings with it Fingolfin’s host of Ice-hardened Noldor, hungry for retribution. With battered hearts and fraying minds, the two half-kings must navigate fragile relations among their own people even as they face the impossible task of reuniting the Noldor under a single leader.

    Summary

    “You will go to him?”

    “Yes,” he said. “Of course.”

    “However far you have to go?”

    “Anywhere,” said Fingon, nearly laughing at the thought; he had walked into hell for Maedhros once, and if she had told him Thangorodrim had risen from the sea and Maedhros hung there once more, he would walk into hell again.

    [At the dawn of the Fourth Age, when the leaders of the rebellious Noldor are pardoned, Fingon the Valiant returns to life. But something is missing. Deep in the Halls of Mandos, Maedhros languishes in a prison of regret . . . and once again, Fingon will stop at nothing to get him back.]

    Summary

    In Nargothrond in the First Age, Bëor wrote down the oral tradition of his people to pass on to his younger son, Belen. Throughout the rest of that age and the next, his descendants preserve this book through grief and joy, war and cataclysm, from the highlands of Dorthonion to the fall of Númenor, and reencounter the mythology of their people in the ongoing dance of memory and immortality.

    Atanatári: (Quenya) The Fathers of Men
    Issë: (Quenya) Knowledge, Lore

    "Belen [was the] second son of Bëor the Old, to whom the wisdom of Bëor
    (for Bëor himself had been one of the wise) was chiefly transmitted."
