Mirë’s Noldorin Artifices (Noldorin Areas of Beleriand)

[mistress-tanwe.livejournal.com]

Timepieces and other Intricate Mechanical Devices. We accept Commissions.  (This is the stall for prompts set in Gondolin, Nargothrond, and other realms of the Noldor in the First Age.)

Comments are now closed but you can continue using the prompts; no claiming is necessary.

How to Post your Prompts:

Leave a comment with the subject line identifying the main characters, gen/het/slash/femslash/poly (if it’s not obvious), a brief description of the prompt, and possible warnings if needed (MPTTor SWG’s). The comment itself should be the prompt.

If for some reason you cannot make a subject line appear, please write and bold the relevant information as the first line of your prompt.

The subject lines and/or bold text will allow participants to easily scan for prompts they're interested in.

For example:

Subject line-- Frodo and Aragorn, gen, hurt/comfort at the Field of Cormallen
Comment-- While Frodo is unconscious after being rescued from Mount Doom, Aragorn cares for him.

OR

Comment-- Fëanor/Nerdanel, wedding night, sexual content

On their wedding night, Fëanor and Nerdanel end up not sleeping at all, as they are too busy enjoying each other.

Remember, no fanworks are to be posted in the prompts posts.

Maglor and Fingon, gen, friendship

[maglor-20.livejournal.com]

Maglor has stopped playing music, and Fingon, here for a trip, is worried and tries to reach out to him. I'd love anything hopeful and optimistic, but dramatic and angsty goes, too. :D I love to see these two interacting in meaningful ways.

ETA: I'm sorry for the multiple edits!

Maedhros and Defensive Architecture

[engarian.livejournal.com]

The elves have left Valinor and arrived in Beleriand, a land of opportunity surrounded by enemies. How did elves who grew up in a land without need for major fortifications know/learn enough to build fortresses strong enough to withstand the forces of Morgoth as well as link to other fortifications, creating a line of defense across the landscape? Did they consult with Sindarin warriors? Did they have an intrinsic understanding of thick walls, arrow slots, draw bridges, portcullis entrances, etc? Was one style duplicated in all of the buildings by each "king" (brother) or was each construction totally distinct. Let your imagination go wild. At least one of the Sons of Feanor should be featured, but it doesn't have to be Maedhros.

AU - the founding of Nargothrond, any characters

[zopyrus.livejournal.com]

In the The Lay of the Children of Húrin, Túrin asks Gwindor (then called Flinding) where they should go next. Gwindor replies:

"To Nargothrond of the Gnomes, methinks
[...] my feet would fain wander,
that Celegorm and Curufin, the crafty sons
of Fëanor founded when they fled southward;
there built a bulwark against Bauglir's hate."

What if Celegorm and Curufin really DID found Nargothrond in the final draft? What was Finrod doing instead? How does this change the history of Beleriand?

Just want to say, this prompt is so well done it's scaring me, therefore it's too scary to touch even with a ten foot pole for me lol, but I hope someone takes you up on it! :)

Maedhros and His Various Non-Elven Allies

[(Anonymous)]

during the Noldor's war against Morgoth, Maedhros saw the need for unity among the Noldor and among people outside of the elves as well. Several characters allied themselves with him, though these relationships were never really explored in the canon material. Amlach, Bor, Azaghal, who were these guys really, and how did they get along with Maedhros and the other elves? You can chose one of these guys, or all of them, whatever suits your fancy. Take it from whatever angle you want, let your imagination run free

Aw, thank you, but I hope it doesn't scare you off permanently! And I hope someone fills it, too! :D

Celebrimbor and Túrin in Nargothrond, gen

[zdenka]

Celebrimbor and Túrin have a conversation in Nargothrond on such topics as swords, Doom, family, and the (im)possibility of rescuing someone from Angband.

RE: Celebrimbor and Túrin in Nargothrond, gen

[binkaslibrary.livejournal.com]

I'm buying this prompt :D :::hands out a farthing:: Thank you so much for it!

RE: Celebrimbor and Túrin in Nargothrond, gen

[zdenka]

Wonderful! :D

Oh, this one looks awesome! I'll take it! :D *hands a farthing*

Lalwen, Aredhel, Idril, Galadriel, family relationships

[zopyrus.livejournal.com]

Tolkien tells us there are four "great lords of the Noldor": Fingolfin, Fingon, Maedhros, and Finrod Felagund. I want to hear about the four great ladies: Lalwen, Aredhel, Idril, and Galadriel.

What do they get up to in Beleriand, and what are their relationships with one another? Do any of them continue to communicate despite the distances between their separate realms? (Bonus points for including Edhellos and the other unnamed Noldorin wives.)

Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[zopyrus.livejournal.com]

The only thing we know about Meleth is that her childrearing strategies involve threatening baby Earendil with "fiery Melko" when he misbehaves. Who is she, and how did she come to be Earendil's nurse? What were/are her relationships with Idril, Aredhel, or Elenwe?

I'd love to see a story portraying her as a citizen of Gondolin, taking part in life in the city, and with a life that doesn't necessarily revolve around the royal family.

RE: Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

Gaaaah. Gah. Do you mind I sit here and stare at that prompt longingly for a while? Meleth. <3

RE: Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

Meleth? o_o I don't remember her...or Lalwen for that matter. *feels ashamed*

RE: Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

Heh, they're pretty obscure characters both of them. Meleth gets one mention in the version of the Fall of Gondolin in the Book of Lost Tales II. (I played her in an RPG for years, and I'm still very fond of my idea of her as a character, that's why I'm very much longing to grab this one, but I already have three prompts to write and won't be purchasing another until these three are done.)

Lalwen is the youngest daughter of Indis and Finwe and close to Fingolfin; she went into Exile with him and then isn't ever mentioned again outside that description in the Shibboleth. I don't know how she comes into this prompt, but hey, while I'm already explaining. :)

RE: Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[zopyrus.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love Meleth unreasonably, considering how little we know about her, but hey, if history remembers ME with one anecdote only, "trolls small children" is honestly an okay way to go out.

RE: Maglor and Fingon, gen, friendship

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I'd love to buy this prompt. Here is my farthing. :)

RE: AU - the founding of Nargothrond, any characters

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I love this prompt. I'm beginning to formulate an idea. Here is a farthing! :)

RE: Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I am intrigued in the best possible way by this prompt. I'm taking it, even though I've just taken two others, but I have come up with an idea how to approach the subject and Meleth's character. So here is my farthing!

Re: Maglor and Fingon, gen, friendship

[maglor-20.livejournal.com]

Yay!

By the way: I forgot to mention that this happens in Himring, but feel free to set it wherever you like. :)

RE: Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[zopyrus.livejournal.com]

Yay! I can't wait to see your take on her. :)

RE: AU - the founding of Nargothrond, any characters

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

No no no no no.. I just did not see this prompt... Oh dear. *quickly walks off and tries to ignore her two Fëanorian muses who are very awake suddenly*

RE: Gondolin: Meleth, nurse of Earendil

[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

Pretty much all of that, yes! :D

Gondolin

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

I have a bunny here that is looking for a nice home: Erestor and Glorfindel in Gondolin, what would their friendship be like & how did they become friends? How would their dynamics work out? How did Erestor take Glorfindel's sacrifice? This can be a Gen fic, or slash, or het... just see where this bunny will take you. Have fun!

RE: Gondolin

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

I DO NOT SEE THIS!
