    Summary

    A King ought not have favourites.

    Finwë, as King, strove to be even-handed, open-handed, as generous to his enemies as to his heirs. He dealt with Ingwë and Olwë both the same, friends of old and peers as no others were, and most assuredly did not show favour to any one faction of the Noldor above any other.

    Finwë, as father and grandfather, failed in that regard, and in many others.

    Summary

    Spurred on by the tribulations of endless rain and a leaky tent, Maglor and Maedhros find a house for Elrond, Elros and themselves to live in. However, moving is complicated by the emergence of memories of home, and a scare from Elros.

    Written for the SWG's New Year's Resolution Amnesty and March Challenge: Birthday Bash for the prompt word 'displaced' and the poem:

    Yesterday I lost a country.
    I was in a hurry,
    and didn't notice when it fell from me
    like a broken branch from a forgetful tree.
    I Was in a Hurry by Dunya Mikhail, translated by Elizabeth Winslow

    Summary

    The reign of Prince Regent Makalaurë Fëanárion rested on a foundation as strong and stable as the sand surrounding Lake Mithrim. It was all but begging to be replaced by something (anything!) else. Thank goodness someone was working to solve that problem. And hopefully all of the subsequent problems that may have arisen thereafter.
