Do you ever think about how in the beginning it was Maglor who followed Feanor blindly in burning the ships and Maedhros who refused and in the end it was Maglor who wanted to break the oath while Maedhros was determined to keep it?

‘The Golodhrim intend to take the Orc Prince as their leader,’ Cíleth tells him in a whisper.
The Sindar of Mithrim fear Maedhros until they see the person he is in Maglor's presence.

Maemags fic idea I will never likely write in full:
Because I am having cesty thots tonight and I need to jot them down before I sleep
Maedhros and Maglor in modern AU share a 2 bedroom apartment
They respect each other's space for the most part, their relationship has grown as they've matured into adults
However one day Maglor finds a package on his bed addressed to him, but he hasn't ordered anything... it's a pretty bracelet
He puts it on and goes about his day. Next day there's something new, a movie he wanted to see
Keeps happening. there's jewelry, chocolates, cologne, gift cards, little drawings, books, a teddy bear. One day a bouquet of twelve red roses
At this point it's obvious it's Maedhros and they've entered into some sort of flirting/courtship situation
One day, though. One day Maglor comes back from school ready to see his daily surprise and finds the most drop dead gorgeous lingerie carefully laid out on his pillow
It's a rich scarlet red. Silky with lace trim, lots of straps, with a matching robe and thigh highs. Fits him nearly perfect
He puts it on, goes to his brother's room, and while he knows they should have a conversation there is very little talking for the next hour
The stockings ripped unfortunately but the rest of the outfit can be cleaned and worn again. It definitely will be
Maglor starts leaving Maedhros little presents and love notes in the lunchbox he packs for him each morning

Posting this drabble separately.
One-sided(?) Maedhros/Maglor ahead of @maedhrosmaglorweek, rated M
Prompt: Wait, that can't be right…
On Ao3
A hand caressing his naked hips. A smile – familiar as his own. A whisper of auburn hair – the scent as sweet as autumn.
Maglor floats. His lips part. He breathes out a name. Fingers ghost over his sex. He bucks his hips. He is held firmly and unmade.
He opens his eyes. The waves are lapping at his bare skin. Out of the corner of an eye, he glimpses a broad back – smooth as silk one moment, then lined with thick scars.
The waves rock him gently like the hand that undid him once rocked his cradle.

End of Year Fic Recs
Thanks @sallysavestheday for starting this template, and for the tag!
Recommend up to 5 series or multi-chapter fics from 2023 that everyone should read (multi-year WIPs count, if the last update was in 2023).
Recommend up to 5 single chapter fics/one-shots (long or short) from 2023 that everyone should read.
Recommend up to 5 fics NOT from 2023 that everyone should read (oldies but goodies).
Recommend up to 5 of your own fics (completed or WIP) from 2023 that everyone should read.
This was so hard. I need time for ten more rec lists because I read so much good stuff this year. If you are not on here but I commented on your fic this year, know that I sincerely wanted to put you on here. If you are not here and I didn't comment on your fic this year, please help me find it next year!!
Multi-Chapter/Other
Such a Marriage by DifferentSong (M, 29k, WiP). f!Maedhros/Maglor. Beautiful and unique treatment of these characters and relationship in the years after the second kinslaying. If you’re uncertain about this ship but curious, I highly recommend giving this story a try. 
Droit du Seigneur by destinedatoms (E, 6.4k, WiP). Various elven kings hook up with their mortal vassals. Each chapter is so funny and hot, and features povs from very underwritten female characters. 
Loyalty: A Tale in Three Voices (not rated, 10.1k, WiP) by @grey-gazania. Caranthir, Uldor, Easterling OFC. Compelling story, characters, and incredible worldbuilding following three unique POVs as an alliance is forged between the Easterlings and Feanorians. Great use of first-person. 
Price of Eternity (series) by Encairion (E, 1.83 million, WiP). The novels and stories in this series are not going to be for everyone. They tackle basically every difficult topic you can imagine. They include takes that would probably make some of my mutuals torch the swanships. But Encairion does it all so skillfully. She’s like an artist who has mastered the techniques (i.e., the canon) and then does something radically original that only works because she has that foundation down. Some of her characterisations rewired my brain. I’m still far from done reading the series, but it’s truly a monumental achievement and so worth diving into with an open mind.
Celegorm by @dawnfelagund (reference work). Dawn’s bio of Celegorm for the Silmarillion Writers’ Guild is meticulously researched and engagingly written. Definitely worth a read for any fans of the Fëanorians or just how Tolkien’s characters evolved over the course of the legendarium’s development.
One-shots
The dining room by @ettelene (T, 8.8k). Ettelene kills it with group scenes and dynamics and this riotous fic about a Feanorian family dinner at Formenos from Celebrimbor’s POV showcases it beautifully. 
Against His Wisdom by @melestasflight (M. 3.7k). Fingon/Fingolfin. A stunning, insightful look at the complexities of this relationship. Melesta handles the nature of the relationship so artfully. As always, their prose is so satisfyingly economical and impactful. I know the pairing may make some wary but I really encourage people to give it a try.
stardrop by @welcomingdisaster (T, 0.7k). Daeron/Maglor. I almost wept when I read this fic because it's so perfect. Lena somehow managed to get everything I love about this ship into 700 words. Doom, deceit, cultural misunderstandings, telling the narrative of your own life, immortality/mortality… if you want to know why I love Daemags, read this. 
As Little as Might be Thought by @imakemywings (T, 2.9k). “Kidnap fam”. Rocky is a master of the argument and this spat between Maedhros and Maglor over the peredhel’s upbringing showcases it. So much characterisation and complicated relationship dynamics packed into this short piece. 
Memories, Like Grains of Sand by @cuarthol (G, 1k). Elrond & Elros. cuarthol wrote some beautiful, complex works this year but this short piece stood out for me. The peredhel twins return to Balar and try to piece together their memories of Sirion. Showcases cuarthol’s talent for little moments of intimacy that will make you cry, not because they are particularly tragic (though they may be), but because they feel so real.
Oldies
Maglor and Daeron Sing the Blues by Voidflower (G, 5.6k). Maglor and Daeron meet in the Mississippi delta in the 1920s. I want to pour this fic in a crystal glass and sip on it on a rainy evening. Gorgeous prose and deeply satisfying character dynamics. 2018.
Dancing with my punchlines by LiveOakWithMoss (M, 321k). I know this Modern AU is fandom-famous already, but by god there’s a reason. I could not put these dramamonsters down. It was funny, it was touching, and it was spicy. I want to rip this fic open like a bag of chips and shovel it into my mouth in great handfuls. 2016. 
What We May Become by @naryaflame (M, 8.8k). Caranthir/Finrod. Narya’s prose is delectably crisp and sensuous and I just loved reading this well-constructed nonlinear story of a fascinating rarepair. 2020.
The Redemption of Daeron by Rhunedhel (T, 7.3k). Daeron/OFC. I actually just found this and have not actually finished it, but I’ve read the first two chapters and it’s such a beautiful alliterative verse poem (!!) and original story of Daeron among the Avari. 1997.
An Education by @i-am-a-lonely-visitor (M, 49.4k). visitor has some of the most scrumptious, clever prose and most memorable characterisations I have read in the fandom and this first installment of his Elrondverse covering the early years is bursting with peredhel coming-of-age delights. 2021.
Mine
Scorched (E, 4.9k). Elrond/Maedhros, Maedhros/Maglor, Elrond & Elros. A psychosexual unfamily drama on Amon Ereb. Really enjoyed the experience of letting this tale unravel as I dipped into the minds of all four characters. 
First Contact (T, 2.7k). Daeron/Maglor. Post-canon (they both sail). Daeron meets Fëanor. It’s a silly bit of sitcom, but also it’s about healing. 
Who By Fire (M, 4.9k). Amrod/Fingolfin. A deep dark dive into the psyches of two hurting men in the early days of Fingolfin in Beleriand. 
If You Are the Healer (E, 4.6k). Maedhros/Maglor. Liege/vassal dynamics and heaps of angst surrounding Maedhros’ decision to abdicate to Fingolfin. It’s fucked up, but they love each other. 
Everlasting Darkness (E, 10.2k). Earendil/Maedhros, Elwing/Maglor (also Elwing/Earendil, Maedhros/Maglor). Canon divergence shitshow where Maedhros and Maglor are released from their oath on condition that they serve Eärendil and Elwing. My first fic of 2023, and it set me careening off the rails. No regrets.
[Bonus fic under my pseud: Played (E, 12.1k) by disastrousexpense. Maedhros/Maglor, Fingon/Maedhros. Absolutely off-the-rails smut between two asshole brothers in Valinor. It was SO FUN to write.]
Tagging the people tagged already and @curufiin @elentarial @lightqueer @searchingforserendipity25 @ladysternchen @tethysresort if you'd like to share your recs!

moment for @jouissants, thank you for a beloved comfort au 💕
Maglor is radiant on the dais. Himring's few spring flowers—pale and jewellike by turns—crowd his hair. He glows more than any of them, a bough of Laurelin in bloom. Maglor is always beautiful lately, at harp and at board and on the high back of his fleet-footed stallion, but now in a gown which shows more than conceals the slight swell of his belly, he is more beautiful than ever. Rose-colored silk peeks out beneath coral. Somewhere in Himring's plain stores they have found gold thread aplenty for the embroidery. So sourly notes Hithlum's ambassador.
The scribe speaks. "Will you affirm your oaths to each other?"
A small glance towards Maedhros, but Maedhros speaks before the pleased look can turn hesitant.
"Yes." He squeezes Maglor's hand. "Though we have spoken them before."
Excited murmuring from the Himring folk. In the guard captain's arms the babe laughs and wiggles.
Maglor smiles slowly, triumphantly. His certainty unfolds like the movement of a song. This is madness, what they are doing, the ambassador thinks. But Maglor looks glad to be mad.
"I would repeat them a thousand times an hour." And he leans up to his brother-husband and into a kiss, steadying himself upon one montane shoulder. "Speak, Nelyo," he murmurs.
A smile lights Maedhros' scarred face. "Before Eru, I thee wed."

Singer Doomed
Fëanáro, Elemmírë recalled, had a sweet voice. He could have made a passable singer and surely a quick-fingered harper, if he had been inclined to exert himself to music beyond the most rudimentary, toddling lessons. His second son was something else altogether.
“Makalaurë,” the instructor said, “play Mingling Light for our visitor.”
Elemmírë would have picked out the boy from the other students even without this blunt introduction: a small creature with Fëanáro’s bright-dark eyes and curls he tugged quickly into a knot with ink-blotted hands. He settled at a harp that was bigger than he was with precise care and only then looked back to his teacher and to Elemmírë, upon which his big eyes widened.
Elemmírë supposed he had been in attendance at one of her performances. She gave him a smile the way one might extend a nosegay of flowers. Makalaurë blushed darkly and sat a little straighter.
“Shall I begin?”
Maglor & Elemmírë over the years, background messy Maedhros/Maglor and other feelings for day 1 of @maedhrosmaglorweek, Treelight! Or, Maglor gains his reputation in Valinor. | Read here on AO3
