Summary
Taniquetil was a quiet place. Few things except the winds and eagles came up here and especially at night, the palace seemed deserted. The night was beautiful, but this time, Eönwe couldn’t enjoy it. Melancholy washed over him, as did memories of times long ago and a friendship long broken.
---
Long before the Elves awoke, long before the events of the Silamrillion happened, Eönwe and Sauron, then known as Mairon, were friends. Unfortunately, that friendship won't last, and Eönwe is partially at fault.Series

Summary
Dark were Aulë’s halls, despite the endless day brought forth by the Two Lamps. The only light was that of a forge, for one Maia was still working. Hits filled with fury and humiliation fell on the metal. Mairon didn’t have anything particular in mind, but he needed to let go on some steam. If he imagined Aulë’s face instead of the metal, it made every pound feel much better. Whatever love Mairon may have had for the Vala has long withered away. Today’s events hadn’t brought Aulë back in his favour.
He hated him, he hated them all, all those rotten, slimy Maiar who were supposedly his colleagues. He wanted to wring Eönwë’s neck whenever he was praising the o so gracious Manwë and his o so perfect friends.
---
Discord is between Aulë and Mairon, who feels stifled in his talent and humiliated by the Vala who was supposed to cherish him. One Vala seizes the chance to finally wrap Mairon around his finger.Series

Summary
Nerdanel wiped the sweat off her brow as she admired her finished statue. She was rapidly improving, surpassing even many who claimed to be masters in their art. Dully, the sound of hammering rang into her workspace. It was late and there was only one elf who was willing to work late into the night: Fëanáro, first-born son and heir of Finwë, High King of the Noldor. Few has she met who were as ambitious, as hungry for knowledge, as smart or as talented as Fëanáro.
Or as handsome.
---
Nerdanel isn't the most beautiful elf: She has red hair, freckles and muscles. She has accepted the fact that no one will ever be interested in her and focuses her time on improving her sculting skills. However, she didn't expect the crown prince to sneak into her heart and expected even less that he thought her beautiful.Series

Summary
Elurín sighed in relief when Imladris appeared in front of him. After months of being on the road fighting Orcs and protecting villages, it was good to return to a comfortable place. Eluréd had returned a few weeks earlier after having been badly wounded. Elurín patted his mare’s neck.
“See that? Soon you’ll get spoiled.” He chuckled when the mare stomped her foot and started trotting down the path. The guards bowed when Elurín rode through the gates, making his way to the stables.
“Treat her well, she has done much work these past few months.”, he told the groom, who bowed. Then, he started to make his way to Elrond’s study, but he didn’t get far as Elurín spotted the Lord of Imladris making his way to the stables from afar.
-
While the terrace both currently stood on allowed a magnificent view on Imladris in the evening sun, Elurín’s gaze seemed fixed on something else. Elrond made his way over and supressed a smile.
It seemed a guest of his had caught Elurín’s attention.
“That is the Lady Larylieth.”, Elrond quietly explained and Elurín simply answered with a quiet “Larylieth”.

Summary
The smoke burned their lungs and darkened the sky. Doriath has fallen. Dior and Nimloth were slain, and Elwing had disappeared with the Silmaril. Eluréd and Elurín had been gagged by servants of Celegorm and were abandoned in the forest of Doriath to die a slow, dreadful death. Autumn was quickly changing into winter and the nights were bitterly cold. The twins wore no proper clothing for such weather, and they had lost their shoes during the kidnapping. Elurín sobbed in despair and Eluréd was close to tears as well. Starving and freezing to death was slow and terrible and they were afraid.
“Come, Elurín, we must find shelter.”, Eluréd snivelled, and his twin brother cried, “What use is shelter. We - we will die anyways!” His brother’s lower lip wobbled, and he grabbed Elurín’s cool hand.
---
After the Sacking of Doriath and the Second Kinslaying, Maedhros, with the help of the Valar, finds the twins Eluréd and Elurín in the nick of time and manages to save them from a frozen death. When Elrond and Elros arrive years later, a secret is revealed which might destroy the bond between the silver twins and Maedhros forever.Series

“We did it, brother. At last, we –“
Maedhros was knocked back by Maglor’s punch.

What a terrible day.
First, Celebrimbor had overslept, had gotten no breakfast and had sped to work so that he would be still punctual and now time went by at a snail's pace.

...and found nothing.
Desperately, he rummaged around and emptied his bag, but the result was the same: No lunchbox. Not even his wallet was inside! Celebrimbor flushed slightly in embarrassment. He had driven to work without his driver's license and thank Eru no one had controlled in the morning.

Pondering about Love by CorA2

Summary
Love was a double-edged sword. It could uplift to the peaks of bliss and euphoria, colour the world more saturated and make even the most mundane of activities seem thrilling. However, it could also throw you into the pit of despair and drown you with grief. It made you vulnerable to being exploited and turn the world grey.
The warm spring breeze had the water ripple over Tarn Aeluin in eastern Dorthonion. The daisies, crocuses and wild tulips gently whipped their heads in the breeze. Birds were singing. At the shore of Tarn Aeluin, Andreth was sitting, looking out over the lake, her hair falling in a braid down her back. A few strands were released by the wind and were tickling her face.“What are you thinking about, Saelind?”

On the shores of Tarn Aeluin, Andreth thinks about her relationship with Aegnor, and the choice she has postponed is made at last.Series

Summary
Nerdanel was in love.
After denying it time and time again, she at last crumbled under the revelation. It was no surprise, yet it stung nonetheless. Acceptance finally came while working on a bust of Prince Curufinwë. How strange it was to create a bust in his image when the prince himself was in the forge just next door!
-
Fëanor was at his wits end. Was she daft? Did she not notice? Granted, Fëanor did not have much experience in wooing women, but he thought he was doing decent. Yet Nerdanel had never shown any reaction to his attempts.
---
When the Silmerils were not yet created, when Morgoth was still in Mandos, when Fëanor was still sane and his father alive, he was an apprentice of Mahtan. After much denying, Nerrdanel admitted to herself that she was in love with Fëanor, but would the proud, handsome Prince Curufinwë, first-born son of King Finwë, love an elf woman who did not fit into conventional beauty standards?Series

Fëanor felt uncharacteristically nervous when Míriel approached him in the garden.
“Mother.”, Fëanor said and rose from his seat. Miriel looked at him with displeasure.
“Fëanor.”
“What brings me the pleasure of your visit?”, he asked, though he had a suspicion.
“Son, you do know you cannot avoid your duty.”, Miriel sternly said.
“I know, I know.”, he sighed and sank back in his chair. She and Finwë had bothered him for days with that topic. He knew what he had to do, but he also guessed the outcome.
