This is part of the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2019 ( @tolkienrsb)

Story Summary: Beleriand was once the greatest work of the Eldar - their first settlement beyond their own system - before contact was lost and its location forgotten. Of late, it has been rediscovered, the crew of the starship Eletaumbë have been contracted to investigate. Unfortunately, they have not been in orbit long when the problems begin...

Alternatively: in which ex-military pilot Maedhros and aspiring archaeologist Fingon manage to crash their shuttle, backpack through a forest, and explore some ruins.

Artwork I created of Orodreth and Caranthir for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang! I was partnered with @dawnfelagund who wrote a deeply moving, funny and intensely well characterized fic The Sandglass Runs about these two characters, as their paths cross yet again.

Story by @oopsbirdficced / ingenious_spark (AO3)

Fic rating: E/18+

Relationships: Maglor/Denethor of Ossiriand

Tags: Cultural differences, culture shock, post-War of Wrath, the Laws and Customs Among the Eldar are not universal, the Avari, depression, recovery, explicit sexual content, good communication, briefly taken captive, implied/referenced canonical character death

Summary: Wandering along the seashore singing an unceasing lament for what his people had become and what they had done was supposed to be the last line for Maglor, son of Fëanor.

When he accidentally trespasses on Avarin territory, they take him briefly hostage in order to ensure that he will lead no war parties to them. Among their people, thrust headfirst into a culture completely alien to him, Maglor learns quickly exactly how different they are. Despite all their differences, he still finds kinship with Denethor of the Laiquendi, and the comfort of a connection helps him open his heart again at long last.
