    Summary

    When Fëanor spoke again, he was softer. “Did you see it, Nolvo? Like a new star crossing the sky. They’ve beaten us, and good. Boy, I’d love to get my hands on the tech in their cosmodrome, wouldn’t you? Maybe I’ll call up—”

    This time, it was Nerdanel who interrupted, her voice a warning. Maedhros couldn’t quite make out the words, but her meaning was clear: Shut up, smarty-pants!

    “Of course,” Fëanor returned to the phone, reverting to his clear, didactic tone, “I’m exaggerating for effect, as I’m known to. I would never defect or betray my country…. No, Professor, you won’t. I’m afraid you’ll need to handle this one yourselves. I will not be bought, and I’ll be much obliged if you don’t call with such offers again.”


    The Space Race begins when Doriath launches the world's first artificial satellite. Fëanor, a renowned astrophysicist of Aman, becomes obsessed with the potential of radio astronomy to contact the far reaches of the universe. Maedhros grows up and takes on his father's cause. Years later, a message is received.

    Summary

    "It started because of how Celebrían ate her boiled egg. It’s curious how little things — like the way a boiled egg peels — can stir memories without warning. No grand gesture, no significant event, just a well peeled egg swallowed whole and suddenly it is like Fingon is there again, laughing before Maedhros' eyes. Fingon had known a trick to make the whole shell of a boiled egg come off in one, the inner layer peeling off like a second skin clinging tightly to the life it held. He’s never seen Fingon swallow an egg whole and somehow the knowledge makes Maedhros feel rather bereft. Like there's a lifetime of egg-swallowing now lost to them."
    _____
    When Elladan, Elrohir, Maglor and a grieving Elrond sail to Valinor at the end of the Ring War, they (and Bilbo Baggins) are met by Celebrían and Maedhros, who immediately whisk them off on a journey across the surreal, ever-changing landscapes of Valinor on foot. The destination? The Halls of Mandos, where Fingon's re-embodiment has been inexplicably and indefinitely delayed.

    Summary

    Caranthir sighs, disgusted, and sits on the bed, as far as he can get from Celegorm without appearing like he’s halfway to crawling out of his skin. “I didn’t come back to life so I could hear how much my dying traumatized you.”

    “You fucking bastard,” says Celegorm, and lunges.

    [When Caranthir is reborn into Valinor, he must deal with everything he left behind in Beleriand- the annoying brothers, the overbearing parents, the family he lost and will never regain.

    But there are things that Caranthir does not know. There are lies that have not yet been unwound. There are mercies he has never expected. It takes orange trees, infuriating brothers, silver ribbons and unseasonal thunderstorms, but slowly Caranthir learns precisely how wrong he is.]

    Summary

    “Kano,” says Caranthir, and Maglor’s laughter trails off. He looks up, and Caranthir looks back at him, and whatever Maglor sees on his face makes him go very still. “I will follow you as far as necessary. Do you understand?”

    [A deep dive into the loving, unbalanced, feral and deadly relationship between the second and fourth Feanorian.]
