some Glorfindel x Erestor art :)

(my Erestor is the reincarnation of Ecthelion, having asked and been granted the special chance to literally be reborn in middle earth. This is (in part) the reason Glorfindel returns to middle earth after his reforming in Mandos' hall. He had to find his boo! Who he now has to re-woo bc Erestor, who now doesn't remember Glorfindel or his past life as Echthelion except vague 'past life' memories 😱)

Au where Gondolin is a fancy college and Glorfindel and Echthelion are captains of the football and baseball teams in a stunning gay relationship. That’s it; that’s the plot.

“And high and noble as was Elemmakil, greater and more lordly was Ecthelion, Lord of the Fountains, at that time Warden of the Great Gate. ”

The Flower and the Fountain by @sallysavestheday Ok, I binged this series in a day because it is so dang good. Just a beautifully written series of vignettes throughout Glorfindel and Ecthelion's relationship. Gorgeous writing, deeply moving. If you can, I highly recommend the binge-read because it flows so wonderfully reading it all at once. Head over heels for these two now.

Ahead of Me, the Dawn by @actual-bill-potts A 3-part exploration of the three meetings of Beren and Finrod. I had chapter 1 in my recs from last week but I'm including this triptych again because it's on AO3 now and also chapter 3 owns my whole heart. Be sure to read all the way to the end.

A ballad of burning lungs and bated breath by @forerussake A poignant exploration of Maglor's return to Valinor and reunion with his mother. Filled with regret, shifting understanding, and the ever-burning fire of the Fëanorian line.
