Innumerable stars 2021

Dear Author/Artist!
Thank you for creating for me. You can find my DNW in my Sign up. Here I post bunch of prompts for specific pairings and characters.
I divided my Silmarillion Sign-Up thematically.


1. Feanorian and Co
• Worldbuilding: Reborn & Returned Support Group in Aman (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: LaCE as a social construct
• Worldbuilding: Elven magic and art and technology (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: Songs of Power
• Worldbuilding: Maeglin Adopted by Fëanorians AU
• Worldbuilding: Aredhel Lives AU
• Worldbuilding: Aredhel and Maeglin Remain in Himlad
• Group: Celegorm/Lúthien (Silm)
Two people called fair – isn’t that telling? Maybe Celegorm eventually seduce Luthien? Maybe Beren died earlier during the quest, and Lúthien wanted to move on, so Celegorm didn’t seem to her as such bad choice. I think different take on Beren and Lúthien relationship would be also interesting – I mean by it that for her it was something more temporary, maybe way of rebel against her father so she lost interest in it when she proved her point. And then Celegorm showed up.
• Group: Celegorm/Aredhel (Silm)
I think they make perfect match, both because of their characters and hobbies. Maybe at the beginning it was just a friendship, which later led to something more. Maybe some happy tie in Valinor, before everything fall apart. Or how they felt after the Helcaraxe. Or maybe the day when Aredhel and Maeglin left Nan Elmoth and met with Celegorm and Curufin for a while.
• Group: Celegorm/Aredhel & Maeglin & Curufin & Celebrimbor (Silm)
Same as above, but I’m curious of family’s reaction to their relationship. Assuming this happened after Aredhel and Maeglin’s run from Nan Elmoth.
• Group: Caranthir/Haleth (Silm)
I prefer this relationship to be mutual, not some sad pining on one of the sides. Of course it may be just brief romance, after which Haleth rejects Caranthir and his help, but some happy ending (in AU) would be also welcome. And I like a take on how their relationship affects their roles in their respective societies.
• Group: Fëanor/Nerdanel (Silm)
Happy days of their marriage or young love. I don’t want Feanor bashing or showing him as an awful husband, who thinks only of himself.
If you want to go for AU, either Feanor released from Mandos earlier than Dagor Dagorath and reunited with Nerdanel or Nerdanel going to Beleriand, where he lives long enough to reconcile with a wife.
• Celegorm (Silm)
Some solo study of is character. What kind of lord he was in Himlad? What’s brings him to be the person he was, especially in Nargothrond. But come to this with respect and understanding, I don’t want totally villainizing him (despite the fact how much of the villain he was in Beren an Luthien’s story).
• Maglor (Silm)
Maglor, one of most interesting for me characters in the Silmarillion. Maglor during Ages? His earlier life in Valinor Or maybe he managed to return home after ages, and rebuild relationships with his loved ones?
• Group: Amrod/Nellas (Silm)
I find interesting how much they could have in common. I bet both loved forest also I imagine them both as a little bit shy. Maybe they have chance to meet before fall of Doriath, or maybe Amrod met her during second kinslaying and decided to spare her. He could took her with him or maybe their ways parted for some time to meet again after many years, in Valinor.
• Group: Maglor/Maglor's Wife (Silm)
I love my version of their story, and I love stories with OCs. Give me your take on them. Was she singer, just like her husband? Or maybe she was more firmly on the ground and it was the case of “opposites attracts”? Was she Nolde or maybe from Teleri, like I frequently see in some works? Did she follow Maglor to Beleriand, or stay in Aman, and that’s why we don’t know anything about her?
• Group: Fingon/Maedhros & Erien & Gil-galad
Was Erien and Gil-Galad Fingon and Maedhros’ children? How? Was they adopted? Was this a strange case of mpreg? Or maybe Fingon got wife for the sake of having a heir, so their marriage was of convenience? Or maybe rather Maedhros had one? Or both? It’s up to you.

2. Gondolin
• worldbuilding: Gondolin
• Worldbuilding: The Political Structure of Gondolin
• Worldbuilding: Daily life in Gondolin (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: Arts & Culture in Gondolin
• Worldbuilding: Aredhel Lives AU
• worldbuilding: Aredhel escort quest
• Group: Idril/Maeglin (Silm)
I’m not one of these fans who think Idril owe Maeglin “a chance”, but I think that there is interesting AU to explore. What if Idril was a little bit hostile toward Maeglin, because she actually liked him from first sight, but she considered relationship between cousins as wrong? But later she came to think that she shouldn’t act against her heart. I headcanon their decided to keep their relationship in secret, because of “what people would say” etc.
• Group: Idril/Maeglin/Tuor
Idril might not like Maeglin, but what if Tuor fancied him? And convince his wife that it’s not so bad idea (it was). Give me the angst, give me smut!
What’s happened after Maeglin betrayed Gondolin? How did he keep it from his lovers? Or maybe he didn’t manage and everything ends well? Or at least not so bad as in canon?
• Aredhel (Silm)
I really like Aredhel. She is so free-spirited, and interesting character. For this prompt something solely about her (as I have prompts with her and other characters). How was her life like in Aman, or why did she choose to left with Turgon to Gondolin? There is many opportunity. Note: I Eol/Aredhel in positive, non-abusive way is my NoTP. Please don’t include it (I also not a fan of reading abusive relationship, so yeah, but I would swallow it easier).
• Group: Finduilas Faelivrin/Maeglin (Silm)
I know, I know, canonical they never met. But something about their stories, the parallels, knowing that Finduilas liked brooding men with black swords, and Maeglin liked blond haired princesses make me ship those two.
Give me wild AU. Maybe Maeglin and Aredhel ended in Nargothrond after all?? Maybe Finduilas was rescued by Maeglin and ended in Gondolin? Or maybe they met after reembodiment, in Valinor?
There are many possibilities and I would welcome any.
• Group: Maeglin & Salgant
I hope Maeglin had some friends in Gondolin, or at least closer acquaintance. One of them might be Salgant. I really like you to explore it closr.
• Group: Elenwë/Turgon (Silm)
Maybe some closer look at Turgon in love? He often is portraited as very stern, but I imagine he was different before Elenwe died.
• Elenwë
What if Elenwe lived? Or what kind of person she was before she died during Helcaraxe? What about her family, her life before Turgon? I’m waiting for any story involving her.
• Maeglin (Silm)
I love Maeglin. Please, no bashing character in this request. If you don’t like him don’t write about him.
His daily life in Gondolin, as a lord of the house of Mole. What was his duties? How did he manage? He was widely respected. What was his relationship with other lords? With king Turgon? I imagine it was close to a father-son relationship.
• Ecthelion of the Fountain (Silm)
Something about him, enjoying life. Did he have wife and children? Was he in relationship with any other Gondolin lord (Glorfindel?). If not, maybe sister/brother or nephew/niece. I’d be happy to read something about his interaction with them

3. Numenor

• Worldbuilding: Peredhil Heritage in Numenor's art & culture (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: The Drúedain on Númenor (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: Silmariën Becomes Queen of Númenor AU
• Group: Tar-Míriel/OFC (Silm)
Who was able to conquer Miriel’s heart? Some handmaiden or maybe noble woman? Was she the king’s followers or of the Faithful? I would be happy to read your interpretation.
• Tar-Telperiën (Silm
I imagine her as a very willful woman. I wonder how she ruled? How her gender affects her ruling? A scene from daily life as a queen.
• Group: Tar-Telperiën/Original Female Character
As I said, I imagine Telperien as very dominant and willful woman. She likes to have everything under control. Maybe she is such also in a relationship? And maybe she needs rather someone who could face her, who would be as strong as she and their relationship would be a constant power struggle?
• Tar-Ancalimë (Silm)
• Tar-Míriel (Silm)
Numenorean queens: any fic exploring women, and women on positions of power in Numenor (even if power only apparent, as in case of Tar-Míriel). How their gender affected their ruling and relationship with subjects and power.
• group: Sauron/Tar-Míriel
Everyone assumes that Sauron seduces Pharazon rather than Miriel, but what if it was other way around? What if Miriel couldn’t resist his charms? I assume it had to be secret relationship, for sake of both their reputations.

4. Women, their power and situation among elves

• Worldbuilding: Women's situation in Valinor
• Worldbuilding: Women's situation in Beleriand
• Worldbuilding: Feminism among elves

• Anairë (Silm)
• Amarië (Silm)
• Nerdanel (Silm)
• Varda (Silm)
• Idril (SIlm)
• Original Female Elf Character (Silm)
I generally requested this bunch of characters to explore wordbuildings tags I added here. I would love to read anything exploring women’s position in Beleriand and Valinor societies.

5. Misc – other things I’m interested in

• Worldbuilding: Homophobia in Valinor
• Worldbuilding: Maternal Cousins of Finwëans (Silm)
• Worldbuilding: improbable parentages for Gil-Galad
• Group: Aegnor/Andreth (Silm)
I love this pairing. I prefer something fluffy over the angst we have in canon. Maybe how they come to be a couple, they first meeting, first kiss etc. I would welcome also AU where they stay together – how it change their fates? Or maybe how Aegnor decided that it would be better for them to break up? I have strange conviction that Finrod played part in it.
• Andreth (Silm)
Her life was more than just romance with Aegnor, which was rather brief. I would like a exploration of other aspects of her life.
• Group: Finwë/Míriel/Indis and their children (Silm)
When both Finwe an Miriel were out of Mandos, they decided to go through with all his marriage thing and, together with Indis, form a relationship. How do they family and subjects react to this?
• Group: Fingolfin & Maeglin (Silm)
How theu met and how they relationship looks like after that? Was it after reembodiment in Valinor? Or earlier?
• Group: Elemmírë/Findis
One of my favorite femslash couple in Silm fandom. I headcanon Elemmírë was one of reasons why Findis decided to stay. Ideal to explore Post darkening Valinor or 4th Age Valinor. I headcanon that Aman, especially in the years of the threes (we don’t know anything about later days, so..) was pretty homophobic. How they dill with it? Maybe later it changes?
Also, I headcanon Findis as dark-haired. Of course it’s ok to use your hedcanon in this matter, but if it’s not a problem I’d prefer her with dark hair.
• Original Character (Silm)
Original Character being maternal cousin of Finweans. Or maybe is not original character, maybe is one of the character we know?

Our all-time favorite canon couple! Something about them after the timeline of the books, established relationship is my jam. How they live in Ithilien, how Eowyn cope with her new role as a healer.
