Letās set aside the Statute of Miriel & FinwĆ« for now, and stick with just whatās in the Silmarillion. Upon seeing Mirielās intense weariness after FĆ«anorās birth & hearing her say that she would bear no more children because of it, FinwĆ« isnāt concerned for her health. Rather,
[ā¦] FinwĆ« was grieved, for the Noldor were in the youth of their days, and he desired to bring forth many children into the bliss of Aman [ā¦]
Emphasis mine. Itās only after āMiriel languished stillā for an unspecified period of time, failing to heal, that FinwĆ« goes to ManwĆ« for council (not Irmo or EstĆ«!!) and itās ManwĆ« who ādelivered her to the care of Irmo in Lorien.ā
Considering that āmanyā of the Eldar seemingly saw his remarriage to Indis as a selfish action,
judging that if FinwĆ« had endured his loss and been content with the fathering of his mighty son, the courses of FĆ«anor would have been otherwise, and great evil might have been prevented [ā¦]
(emphasis mine), I donāt think itās a stretch to apply the same lens of selfishness to FinwĆ«ās earlier decisions regarding Miriel. And then thereās a very obvious reason why FinwĆ«ās first appeal was to ManwĆ« rather than to EstĆ« and Irmo directly: because FinwĆ«ās primary concern was having more children, not having a healthy wife. And while EstĆ« and Irmo might have been able to deliver him the latterā a wife who could bear more childrenā Miriel has free will, and they canāt give him back a wife whoāll agree to do so.
But ManwĆ«, as the highest authority of Valinor, might be able to do something about the fact that Mirielās obstinance is preventing him from having the children that he wantsā and considering that FinwĆ«ās eventual petition to remarry probably needed ManwĆ«ās assent to go before the Valar, it seems likely that he was correct!
Now, itās likely that ManwĆ«ās initial judgement ā within a context that seems to consider Mirielās refusal of further childbearing an infringement upon FinwĆ«ās rights as husband and Kingā was something like āIf your wife is healed in body and soul, she might also be healed of her refusal to bear more children. Letās try that first.ā
And the consequences were that Miriel was separated from her son and delivered to Lorien for healing, which was probably counterproductive, considering that she died very soon after arrival. And although thereās a great deal more information about the Statute in other texts, the ultimate result of this horrible episode of Valinorean history is communicated in the Silmarillion itself. In death, Mirielās exercising of reproductive autonomy stops inconveniencing FinwĆ«, who gets exactly what he wants: remarriage to Indis, and four more children.
prep on TRSB fic; 600 words on evil overlord midlife crisis. Snippet:
The book he was looking for wasnāt a Malfoy family heirloom. But it was kept in the library all the same, to make use of the heaviest enchantments of containment in the house. Up the narrow stair he went, passing by a sequence of mezzanine floors, to the libraryās attic, separate carefully from the rest of the house. You had to be specifically added by blood to the enchantments on the door to get in here, which Tom was. He pushed the door open carefully and went across the interior chamber to a curious piece of furniture, like an enormous chest of drawers or a wall of muggle safety deposit boxes, all in metal. Every inch of surface was engraved: you did not want these magical scripts to smear. Delicately he gloved himself from a box left on top. This was not a usual book reading precaution, as gloves generally increased the risk of tearing pages, but the question in this room was not protecting the books. It was protecting oneās hands.
Carefully then, Tom found drawer 46 and unlocked it. He drew out his childhood diary.
broke: Fƫanor & Fingolfin were competing for Most Number of Kids (questionable necessity for SoF beyond Caranthir or, re: Argon, Curufin).
woke: FĆ«anor was competing for Most Number of Kids against FinwĆ«ās record. The Ambarussa were meant to put FĆ«anor solidly at 6-5 and ended up giving him a 2-point lead instead.
bespoke: FĆ«anor & Nerdanel just really, really, REALLY wanted a girlā

T, Hermione & Harry, Sirius & Bellatrix, 2k
Hermione isn't about to let Harry take help from a dubious source without double-checking it. Meanwhile, she ruminates on the situation.
This fic was sponsored for charity by @lynnainu. Thank you for the donation, and I hope you enjoy the fic!
Hermione wrote down the incantation supplied by Bellatrix Lestrange for the Second Task, and made Harry repeat the pronunciation for her three times, then show her the motions again. After, she said, āOkay, Iāve just got to read over this Charms essay and look up a few things in the libraryāā and watched Harryās eyes glaze over as he fought to say something reasonable without volunteering to join her.
It was sweet, really. Four years, and he was still trying really hard to be polite when Hermione deflected everyone into her schoolwork. Sometimes she wished heād stop.
1.3k on the weirdest fucking year; 500 words on evil overlord midlife crisis; 600 words on all your brutal news. snippet:
āTo be truthful I am not entirely sure where to begin,ā said Umie, and then was briefly occupied with the sort of questions necessary for medical exams: does this hurt, does this, how has it been since yesterday, and so on. Maedhros wondered for a while if Umie had in fact decided it was better not to ask questions, until Umie bid him turn onto his stomach so that she could rub salve into the still-healing whip marks, and then, slowly, began her questions:
āNo one seems really sure how you came here, you know.ā
āThere isnāt much to say,ā said Maedhros, face pillowed on his folded arms, doing his best to lie still and docile while Umie handled the marks. He didnāt particularly want them to scar. āThere was no real fanfare to it. I walked into Mordor by myself, and was recognized and taken up to the Lord General.ā
Umie was quiet a time. Maedhros wondered what he would say if Umie asked how heād been recognized. He was not certain how secret or not his First Age identity was meant to be. Certainly a reasonable number of the orc commanders would know him, and Fingon had had the option of publicly calling him something less obvious than Maitime and hadnāt taken it.
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as āmy liegeā would come strangely naturally
i tend to avoid discourse because most of it is trite and pointless but just this once i feel like i need to state my opinion: i think everyone should bend to my dark and evil will
prep and 600 words on the weirdest fucking year. Snippet:
Hermione almost, almost wished Sirius had let her live with her first impression on the basis of her reading about Voldemortās war, or rather, about the first war with Voldemort. Bellatrix Black, then Bellatrix Lestrange, showed up in the history books and the newspapers, but the ones written during the war described her as a sort of socialite, or, especially if published outside the country and Britainās censorship, as Voldemortās mistress.
š®Have you imagined what happens to [character(s)] in the future? Or does the story only exist to you as a moment in time?
Oh yeah, in the immediate aftermath Celebrimbor probably stalls until Sauron actually makes the One Ring a century later, creating the Three, quietly getting more involved in Ost-in-Edhil politics again to try to make the city defensible without admitting anything (as though everyone can't SEE that he married Annatar just as Annatar fucking vanished). He is pretty miserable during this time.
Then the One Ring happens, he calls an emergency meeting of the Mirdain and city government to confess and I think is elected something like emergency dictator in the Roman sense where it's a temporary crisis position, calls the Feanorian following in the city up and starts making evacuation plans for the civilian population. He also gets to go to Gil-galad, Elrond and Galadriel to confess and pass off the Three along with explaining his plan is "sacrifice myself as bait," something no one likes. Everything does play out as in canon here! Roughly an age and a half later, Sauron is defeated by Frodo and makes a fun discovery: marrying an elf, if you are a maia, ties your soul to Arda the same way elves are tied, which means he is stuck in Mandos now.
š Could the story have been a different length? What would you have included/removed?
LOL so I did expect the fic consisting of a) a marriage proposal b) an argument and c) a sex scene would take less than eleven thousand words, but I was wrong about this.
š“āā ļø and/or š for into our first world?
also, š§ for Orion?
š“āā ļø Were there any points in which your characters tried (or succeeded) to commit mutiny against your planned plot? Where did they most want to rebel?
š Could the story have been a different length? What would you have included/removed?
So, the first work of into our first world was originally supposed to be a short porn fic for kink bingo in a vaguely sketched out Voldemort wins AU, with the first Bellatrix/Sirius scene the only one planned. /facepalms forever You see how that went.
Was there a particular fic you had in mind for Orion?
for promises wide as the ocean: š Was there anything your character(s) really really really wanted to do? Did you let them?
TBH I think they actually mostly stuck to the plot outline in that one? I'm looking at my notes trying to remember and nothing's coming to mind. The main thing was how much more detail everything took than expected, so it ended up being a much longer fic... Oh right, Nerdanel showing up to go "let's rebuild your cottage!" I think was a surprise, it was Maedhros and Elwing who mostly stuck to the script I'd envisioned, lol.
