not one before another by Kieron_ODuibhir

Summary
1) Sephiroth almost corrected the first person who called Aerith his sister, a woman they’d met before they were even out of Midgar’s slums complimenting him on taking such good care of her, while their mother shopped.
2) The other half of Project S took after their father.
3) Blue eyes contemplated him narrowly for several seconds, and then Genesis’ smirk came back, lying on his face more easily, somehow. “So brothers-in-arms to the skirmish shall we hence?”
4) It felt wrong to be relying on anybody but Mother, but Mother…only cared about Sephiroth, and it wasn’t fair. Loz sniffled. “Will she take care of Yazoo, too?”
5) Sephiroth nodded, and bent forward, and peered at the squashed little pink thing until it stirred, objecting probably to cool air on its face. “What’s his name?”
“Cloud."
6) “Cloud,” he said, his fingers tightening on nothing because he had cast his own sword down, atop the coiled piles of his hair, “do you not remember?”
(Five times in five worlds where Sephiroth was somebody's brother, and one where he wasn't anymore.)

CORUCAFSS: Case no 9877882 (Jango Fett v. Jedi Order) by Zirakinbar

20 Feb 2022

Summary
Jango Fett marries Shmi Skywalker and decides he’d like his step-son back from the Jedi, thanks very much. Obi-Wan Kenobi would much prefer if the notorious bounty hunter could stop stalking his Padawan. Maleena Wendin, of Coruscant’s Children and Family Support Services, just wants this whole mess off her desk.
(Could Mr. Fett please clarify what he means by “the Jedi taking a nine-year-old into an active warzone”? No reasonable adult would – oh. Oh no.)

Our Lady of Perpetual Compassion, She of Sorrows and Succor by HerenorThereNearnorFar
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
31 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
"Few stories were told of Nienna, not because she was not loved, but because she was loved too much. Those elves who dwelled in Valinor knew her sorrows and did not pry at them. Her part in the stories of others was glossed over, her name whispered gently, her tale left unspoken and unrecorded. Such was the respect given to her, for all people might need pity some day.
If an exile from over the sea needed to learn, or a new child asked, they were shared only snippets of thought, memories, echoes of what was told perhaps only once long ago.
These were the things that were not said."

The Hearth that Chose Her by Lunamoth2326
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, old valyria - Fandom
27 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Before the Doom, Valyria was not yet a grave.
Aelyxāra Maelythrys is born into one of the forty ruling blood-houses of the Freehold—a child marked early for prophecy, blood magic, and use. Chosen not by conquest but by recognition, she is claimed in infancy by Vermithraēx, a near-grown dragon who becomes her guardian, her hearth, her mother in fire and scale.
Raised within a house that treats women as vessels and wombs as ritual ground, Aelyxāra is trained as a priestess of Maelys and subjected to rites meant to force legacy from flesh. She survives—but survival is not the same as obedience.
When Daenys the Dreamer arrives astride Balerion, the fire begins to speak too clearly to ignore.
Aelyxāra will not stop the Doom.
She will anchor it—through a blood rite that fractures dragonkind itself, leaving echoes that surface centuries later in Aerea Targaryen, Rhaenyra’s stillborn daughter, Helaena’s visions, and Daenerys Stormborn.This is a story about a dragon who mothered, a girl who listened, and a legacy that burns quietly in confused instincts, broken bonds, and the long, painful healing of dragons who remember how to care.

Summary
Gil-galad is the last member of the line of Finwë willing to be High King, but he has no desire to create an heir to replace him should he fall in battle.
The Angel GabrielEönwë has an announcement for him.Alternate title: Toxic Catholicism and Noldor Rebellion
Leaning into Tolkien being Catholic, I'm taking the worst possible interpretation of some things that were published posthumously and putting some of the grossest parts of Catholicism on the Valar. Namely focused around queerness and reproductive rights.

I need to write a proper comment later because goddamn Elrond's foresight visions are so goddamn raw and harrowing (especially as a fellow asexual, poor Gil-galad), toxic Catholicism is a 100% accurate description, hashtag abortion is healthcare

Summary
Valinor was every bit as beautiful as the songs promised.
Its streets glittered with the dust of diamonds, gleaming under the radiant light of a sun that shone brighter, purer over the hallowed lands than it ever had over Middle-earth. The peaks of the Pelori, soaring and snowcapped, loomed pristine in the distance, mocking her with every glimpse. These were not mountains that had ever known the tread of an orc's foot, nor suffered spilt blood or harrowed screams. Even the sands of Eldamar were white and silken underfoot, nothing like the abrading grit of the beaches of Belfalas where her mother had once reigned.
Celebrían hated it.

Summary
“I see and know everything whether I want to or not, because the universe hates me,” Grima explains. “Okay, so you two are finally getting married, thank the gods. That’s me! I’m a god. You’re welcome. So what kind of theme do you want to go for? And where are you going to live? Plegia’s pretty nice once you get used to the sand, the sand, and also the sand. Obviously I won’t complain about the occasional vacation to Ylisstol, since your... mountain vistas... aren’t half bad. Are you listening? Are you alive? Did I just break you?”
“I’m listening,” Chrom says weakly, his poor little brain struggling to keep up.
In which Grima is born into an existential crisis, accidentally nudges history the wrong way, and tries to make do in a world that is objectively more chaotic than he is.

Feanor and the Impossible Dream by Anonymous
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, TOLKIEN J. R. R. - Works & Related Fandoms
09 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Why do so many in this fandom have such a fascination with Feanor and his sons? Why do these blatant criminals, warmongers, and thieves reliably draw admiration or even love from readers, clearly contrary to their creator's intent?
Part textual history of the stories of Feanor, his sons, his family, and his angelic enemies as their characters radically changed with Tolkien's increasingly rigid beliefs, part literary analysis, part raging against the gods, part questioning the glories of paradise, this aims to convince the reader that if Feanor the character is a villain, then Feanor the personification of man's rebellion against authority is not, even if Tolkien grew to believe he was. To be drawn to the Feanoreans in spite of Tolkien is to be drawn to Don Quixote in spite of his creator's attempt to bury the character, and with him an ideology.
