Summary
There's a balance to tragedy and eucatastrophe. Even Marred, Arda was made with goodwill and divine grace - there is love and mercy and forgiveness even for those that would not accept it, even for those who don't yet realize they need it.
So sometimes you get the second chance you didn't ask for.

Summary
In the first year of the Fourth Age, after three thousand one hundred and thirty-eight unhappy, furious, grieving years of being reborn into an Aman that has been trying very hard to pretend that everything is absolutely fine ever since Morgoth was banished from the world, Fingon the Valiant walked through the Door of Night into the Void to seek the fëa of Maedhros, Kinslayer, Self-Slain, who hated himself so much upon the moment of his death that he chose Everlasting Darkness voluntarily.
He left behind an extended family who is shocked and appalled to learn of this decision - and that Námo the Doomsman was the one holding the Door open for him.
Or: The last time one of the House of Finwë fell at the hands of a Vala in Aman, the Silmarillion happened.

Summary
“That’s easy enough.” Sauron nodded at Fingon, “I want this one.”
“No,” said Maedhros, the same moment Maglor said “why?” Fingon’s own voice was stuck in his throat.
“He’s late for his wedding,” said Sauron.

Summary
Wei Wuxian wakes in a world too young for him.
He wakes in the past with his elder golden core and the memory of an entire lifetime spent beside Lan Wangji.
The cultivation world expects a reckless prodigy.
Instead, it is granted a man who has already survived war, buried grief, loved Lan Wangji for over a century and become something dangerously close to immortal.
Unfortunately for the cultivation world, Wei Wuxian at one hundred and forty-five is a far more terrifying thing than Yiling Laozu ever was.
(Or: Wei Wuxian comes back absurdly overpowered, emotionally 'somewhat' stable, deeply in love and grief and semi prepared to fix literally everything.)

Summary
When the corpse of Cedric Diggory sits up in Hogwarts’s hospital wing and begins attacking people Dumbledore seeks out the only necromancer in the world he knows he can trust. Wei Wuxian was not prepared for the cluster fuck of a situation his fellow ICW member had so kindly dumped in his lap but he was even less prepared for a dementor attack while retrieving the erstwhile Harry Potter. Harry is just glad to be away from the Dursleys and with an adult that was finally listening to him for once even if his world view was shaken up in the process.

Summary
“Don’t let him escape!”
Spiritual energy surges forward in a wave.
Wei Wuxian laughs.
The sound rips itself from his chest, raw and sharp, edged with hysteria. It echoes off the cliffs, carrying unnaturally far. Several cultivators falter, their advance stuttering as they look up at him in alarm.
“Escape?” he repeats, voice carrying easily over the chaos, “Oh, you little fools, I’m not going anywhere.”
---
It is the Siege of The Burial Mounds. Wei Wuxian is the only one left alive. Instead of sacrificing himself to destroy the Stygian Tiger Amulet, Wei Wuxian finds him absorbing all of the energy in the Burial Mounds in his grief, in his anger, in his rage.
Once he returns to reality, he finds all of the cultivators who had participated in the siege kowtowing before him.
Wei Wuxian is about to have a lot of fun.
