Day 3: Helcaraxë
Findaráto curled tighter on himself in his bedroll, crushed between Aikanáro and the tent wall. They were all piled together like a litter of kittens, him an his siblings, to ward off the biting cold of the outside. He could hear Artanis’ mumble in her sleep and Angaráto’s faint snores and, just out of the skin and fur wall, the wind howling over the Ice.
He tried to keep exhaustion at bay just a little longer, to savour this too rare moment of relative privacy. In the faint glow of the small lamp devised by his half-uncle, a necessity here on the Ice despite how much he wanted to throw the cursed thing away, Findaráto fished the small leather pouch he wore around his neck and opened it. With a trembling smile, he unrolled the slip of paper he kept there, worn smooth and thin with how many times he had read it over the years on the Ice.
My dearest Ingoldo,
I cannot wait to see you at the festival next month. I already miss you terribly.
Yours forever,
Amarië
Findaráto blinked tears away as he read the note over and over, trying not to wonder if Amarië loved him still. With a last, reverent brush of his lips on the paper, he rolled it back and tucked it away in the leather pouch. When sleep finally claimed him, Findaráto had composed yet another never-sent letter to his beloved in his mind.

If sometimes the graves of heroes in Middle-Earth seem to have something, some fate, some enchantment, laid over them, like in any good legend -- that flowers or grass will ever grow over them, or they shall never be violated -- what happens if it's the resting place of an elf and the elf is reborn? Does it last? That grave is not really theirs anymore, cannot be; one can't have two bodies. There cannot be a corpse there anymore, but even as a symbol it falls apart -- there is no need for a grave for the living.
If Gondolin had not drowned, what would have happened with Glorfindel's cairn once he was returned? What about Finrod's?
Was it the earth itself showing its love? Do the flowers that grew where Glorfindel was buried now grow beneath his window in Rivendell?

Earwen and Finarfin are the most even-tempered noldo around and somehow spawned these total chaos rockets who bite werewolfs to death, fall in love with mortals, and run off with hippies in the woods. Since Finarfin is more straight-laced than Turgon, the only explanation is that Earwen is secretly also an eldritch diva who presumably brews moonshine and has even less sense than her children.

A grin spreads on Finrod’s lips. “I am thinking about it, then I remember your haru Mahtan, and his great red beard.”
“Oh?” Maedhros’s eyebrows shoot up curiously.
Finrod’s grin grows. “He sprouted his beard young, didn’t he? And you are nearing your third millennium of life, in the reckoning of the Sun and Moon.”
Maedhros begins to understand the joke. The beginnings of a frown scrunches his brow.
A peal of delighted laughter escapes Finrod. “You too will sprout a great red beard like Mahtan, I expect. Ai, how ugly! I will have to shave you myself!”
An outraged little mumble from Maedhros. He gently elbows Finrod. “Ai, stop! How dare you. Or have you forgotten that Ingwë’s father who got left behind in Cuiviénen also had a great golden beard? Haru Finwë told us stories. A great golden bush, he said. So, you aren’t safe! Silence, you!”
Finrod keeps laughing. It is the laughter he reserves for family and other intimate friends: ugly and snorting, like a pig. So unlike him at all. Or at least the facade he shows to the world.

Well, I made fairy doodle in my sketchbook and it ended up being Finrod Felagund ♥ (the little messy thing in his hands is supposed to be the ring of Barahir ♥)

King of Nargothrond , Five Act Tragedy
“I go now to my long rest in the timeless halls beyond the seas and the Mountains of Aman. It will be long ere I am seen among the Noldor again; and it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life, for the fates of our kindreds are apart. Farewell!' He died then in the dark, in Tol-in-Gaurhoth, whose great tower he himself had built.

That period between Aragorn's marriage and the Elves leaving Middle-earth must have been absolutely wild for the scribes, librarians, historians and archivists of Minas Tirith, because you suddenly have the people of Rivendell, who are packing, graciously sending for you to quickly transcribe the texts they're taking with them so the knowledge is not lost from mortals, but also just gifting you tons of priceless manuscripts because they have more than one edition of the same thing, or because they're sure there are many more in the West, and there's obviously no need to take 20 copies of Rumil's Ainulindalë with them.
And on the other hand, everyone who knew him is certain Finrod has been pestering every single new arrival in Valinor for information about Men, and you're Faramir, and Elrond asks you for a favour and is like, "Galadriel wants to collect as much information about your cultures and history as she can for her brother; do you think you could find anything of interest in Minas Tirith?", and you're like "The Lady of the Golden Wood....???? Fi-nrod Edenn-il???", of course you'll butcher the job, this is too much, but ultimately you just may have prepared a dossier for the greatest hero of the First Age and you have to lie down for a moment.

Fic Concept: Erestor is Maglor, Lindir is Daeron, and Gildor is Finrod. They all live in Rivendell in the Third Age. They're all using elf magic to try and hide their identities, so they don't recognize each other.
Lindir has heard Galadriel call Gildor kin but assumes that Gildor is like, Finrod's son or something because Finrod would absolutely name a child "Gildor Inglorion."
Erestor has heard Lindir sing some very familiar old Sindarin lays but assumes that he must just know them because of how popuar Daeron's compositions were. Nevermind that many of them are lost to history by the Third Age.
Gildor knows Erestor is Feanorian because he's not as subtle as he thinks but he doesn't really sing around people anymore– because singing the Noldolante for thousands of years straight has made his voice extremely dangerous– so Gildor assumes he's just another old Feanorian follower.
Elrond and Gandalf are making bets about when they'll realize. Elrond bet it would happen before the Fourth Age. It's not looking good for them.
