Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Chapter 1: House of Fingolfin family photo

Chapter Text

Fingolfin family photo

 

Anaire is trying to take a nice photo of her family.

Argon is getting over excited. Turgon is a little clingy and needs a cuddle. And Aredhel has just come from playing outdoors!

Chapter 2: Feanor and his family

Summary:

It's Feanor and his family (photo taken by the long-suffering Fingoflin lol).

Chapter Text

 

Even as (the human equivalent of) a teenager, Maedhros is tall. Caranthir is trying to use him as a climbing frame. Meanwhile, Curufin is trying to steal Feanor's work pencils!

Yes, Nerdanel has work boots on! If you're married to Feanor and have seven sons, you don't walk around in fancy shoes lol.

 

Chapter 3: It's Halloween lol

Summary:

It IS scary!

You have been warned. Check the main tags!

Notes:

This is your last chance to turn back lol!

Chapter Text

Imagine, for one moment, that you are the offspring of the great Fingolfin; loyal, steadfast and strong. You were out for a walk in the woods, enjoying the beautiful autumn colours.

But then, clouds cover the sky, the wind picks up and soon, a chilling sleet begins. You hurry home, head down as you try to avoid the worst of the storm.

You reach your cosy home, open the front door and step inside. Warmth surrounds you! And there, what do you see?

Could it be Elenwe, gentle and raident; her golden hair shining in the firelight. She smiles at you and waves her graceful hand towards a tea table. There is your delicate porcelain tea set; with steam floating from the spout of your prize teapot. A plate of home baked biscuits completes the scene.

Or perhaps is it Maedhros who is waiting to greet you? He grins at you and helps you out of your sopping wet clothes, despite having only one hand. He leads you towards the fireplace, where you see two mugs of hot mulled wine, and a dish of glazed fruits, waiting to be enjoyed.

 

 

NOPE SORRY, YOU WERE AREDHEL LOL.

Chapter 4: The Firebug Tale

Summary:

Feanor takes his little brothers into the woods, to tell them a spooky story.

Chapter Text

 

One summer's evening, Feanor took his little brothers into the woods, ready to entertain (and terrify) them with a spooky story. He raised his lantern high and began the tale.

"Once, long ago when the elves first awoke in the world, the Dark Shadow (Morgoth) hunted them. He captured many elves, seeking the turn them into monsters! And some of them were able to break free of his torment. But in doing so, they broke their bodies and damaged their souls So in an act of mercy, the Valar restored these broken elves as firebugs. Little glowing creatures of innocence, who could play safely in the woods of Valinor, away from evil".

Fingolfin and Finarfin listened, wide eyed. "Is that a true story?" Fingolfin asked.

"See for yourself, brother," Feanor said. He waved his lantern around and curious creatures fluttered nearby. They were about three inches high, and appeared to be a hybrid of elves and fireflies.

Fingolfin was nervous of them, finding them a little eerie. When a firebug fluttered near; he squealed and backed away.

"Don't be such a baby," Feanor scoffed. "They are just curious".

"They have wings! And antennae," Fingolfin exclaimed.

"And...and glowing butts!" Finarfin was half laughing, and half creeped out. Feanor snorted and shook his hair back.

"It's not a butt," he said. "It's a glow organ!"

"A glow organ," Fingolfin repeated. Then he shrieked again, as another firebug flew near him.

"Silly brothers," said Feanor, standing still and letting the firebugs land on his head. "They only wish to make friends".

Fingolfin nodded, trying not to flinch as a firebug settled on his shoulder. Finarfin frowned, then spoke up again.

"If it's not a butt, then do the firebugs have a real butt?" he asked.

"Shush brother," Feanor said. "You make no sense at all!"

Chapter 5: The Sleepover

Summary:

A drawing based on part two of the story, "Sleepover".

Notes:

The sleepover!

I am sorry there is only half an Argon. He wouldn't fit on the page lol.

(Also there, but not drawn, are Aredhel, Celegorm, Eol and overprotective dad, Fingolfin).

Chapter Text

Chapter 6: After the Rescue

Summary:

Aredhel and Curufin have rescued Celegorm from Sauron.

Notes:

I found an older drawing, so I thought I would post it. I think it was meant to be for Flufftober but I thought it was too weird lol.

tw: blood

Chapter Text

 

Sauron wanted to make more dangerous creatures, and create some wolf hybrids. He captured Celegorm, but Aredhel and Curufin were able to rescue him, before he was completely corrupted.

Chapter 7: Knitting

Summary:

Indis is teaching Fingolfin and Finarfin how to knit.

Feanor doesn't want to join in.

Chapter Text

Indis is teaching Fingolfin and Finarfin how to knit.

Feanor doesn't want to join in. No way. But if he did, he would knit so much better than his silly baby brothers!

And somebody had put a nice ball of red wool in the basket. And it does have a spare set of knitting needles in.

 

Chapter 8: Finding a carrot

Summary:

Celegorm, Amrod and Amras help Elured and Elurin to pull a carrot.

(From the Firebug AU).

Chapter Text

The twins want to eat a juicy carrot.

The easy option would be to go to Finarfin and ask him to pull up a carrot for them.

But the fun option is to do it yourself!

So Celegorm, Amrod, Amras and the little twins pull a carrot free. But they accidentally knock over Eol's barrow of berries!

But...carrot! xD

Chapter 9: The Grandkids

Summary:

Celebrian, Idril, Celebrimbor and Maeglin.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Idril has her dad's Vaporeon hair patten!

For some reason, Celebrian appears to be about 8 feet tall. I have no idea why she came out so tall lol.

Notes:

I don't think these wenches and jockeys ever all met in canon (were they all alive at the same time?)

I'm guessing this must be when they are reembodied and/or just living in Valinor in the 4th age.

One of the lovely grandparents is taking a photo :)

Chapter 10: Argon and Celegorm

Summary:

Argon and Celegorm in their best outfits.

Chapter Text

Poor Argon! He was so excited to aid the "Mysterious scientist". But then he found out that it was Sauron in disguise, and he was planning to experiment on Argon's siblings and cousins.

Argon managed to escape with the help of Aredhel and Curufin, and they rescued Celegorm too. But Argon was hurt and Celegorm had been experimented on.

Argon and Celegorm were sad! So Aredhel and Curufin dressed them up in their smartest outfits, to help them feel better.

Chapter 11: Bonus chapter! The triplets

Summary:

In the 4th age, Turgon and Elenwe were so happy to be together again! But they did long for more children.

So one night, when they were enjoying romance, they both thought that it would be lovely to have some elflings.

(They did not specify how many. They did not specify all at once, or spaced out over a number of years).

One year later...Elenwe had triplets. Turgon fainted!

Chapter Text

The triplets need names! At the moment, I am calling them Coalport, Doulton and Wedgwood xD

Edit: The triplets now have names! Thanks to bluebeholder, for translating their "teapot names" into elvish names lol.

Narethirwen (left) is the first born and most responsible. She acts as big sister to the other two. She enjoys crafting and hopes that her Uncle Feanor will take her on as an apprentice, when she is old enough.

Crathladion (middle) is quiet and sensitive. He likes to sit and read, or play music. But Wedgwood always drags him off on adventures. (He also borrowed his cousin's eyeliner for the photo!)

Tarvosiel (right) is bold and curious. She loves to be outdoors and often gets messy (to Turgon's dismay). She can identify any bird just by hearing its song.

Notes:

Why have I spelt third in "olde style"? It was a spelling mistake lol!
