    Summary

    “How is it, exactly, that you managed to get yourself kicked out of Estë’s gardens? Reading this does not give me the impression they sent you here because you were wholly healed.”

    Celebrían, who did not feel particularly healed, but did at least feel angry, which was more emotion than she’d been able to conjure in over a year, said, “I was asking questions.”

    “Ah,” said Finrod, “yes. That would do it.”

    --

    Celebrían prepares to mount a legal challenge for the right to see her husband (no, the other husband) reborn. For this, she must gather allies from across Valinor and out of the wreckage of the House of Finwë. Perhaps along the way, there is healing to be found too.

    Summary

    For all Tolkien's changes to his family trees, one thing remains the same - Fëanor is the only son of Finwë without a daughter.

    What if that changed?

    Meet Lórefindë Nartissë - she's a linguist, the baby of a very big family, possessed of an unfortunate temper, and has a tendency to start fights (then gleefully watch her brothers finish them).

    She's also recently been married to Oropher, great-nephew of Thingol through his father Galadhon. Or, rather, eloped with him.

    Without the consent of either of their families, but that's irrelevant, and also kind of how elopement works anyway. By this point they're all grudgingly getting along because there's no way to undo a marriage between two elves who want to stay married.

    The point is, Oropher now has to keep straight all of his wife's family. He never had any problems like this before - his own family consists of less than a dozen people, while the Finwëans are notoriously...numerous.

    Here is a glimpse into one attempt at this.
