7 Fanfic Recs About Fingon by amyfortuna

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Prompt and Path: A Favourite Character, Yellow Path
Format: Recs List
Genre: All slash.
Rating: All Explicit.
Warnings: Listed under each individual story.
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, others
Pairings: Listed under each individual story, but mainly Fingon/Maedhros
Summary: A list of my favourite E-rated stories featuring Fingon. My great love in fanfic is stories about or involving sex that highlight characterisation. In every one of the stories on this list, Fingon is the valiant, loving, bold, brave, and adventurous warrior that canon gives us tantalising hints of. These authors use erotica to draw his character out and show it off, and every single one of these stories is also smoking hot!



The Ice Between by Nibeneth
Genre: Slash, Hurt/Comfort
Rating: E
Warnings: Discussion of PTSD.
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, Fingolfin, OCs
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros

A wonderful and eventually heart-warming story about Fingon and Maedhros negotiating their relationship in Beleriand, this time with an emphasis on Fingon's trauma rather than Maedhros'.

Delicate Pleasures by TheLionInMyBed
Genre: Slash
Rating: E
Warnings: Mild references to gore and torture, mild knifeplay, some violence
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, OCs
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros

Fingon specifically getting off on Maedhros' rougher appearance post-Thangorodrim is the best thing ever. And the knifeplay.

Less Than Kind by emilyenrose
Genre: Slash
Rating: E
Warnings: None
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, Maglor, Curufin, Caranthir, Celegorm, Amras, & Huan
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros

This is basically the Platonic ideal of Fingon/Maedhros fic, featuring snarky Maglor, bitter Curufin, a huge argument, and Fingon being perfect in bare feet.

Rare Flora by Sath
Genre: Slash
Rating: E
Warnings: None
Characters: Fingon, Húrin, strongly implied Beleg
Pairings: Fingon/Húrin

My weakness for sex pollen fics notwithstanding, this story shows off Fingon's valiant character in the face of a tricky situation and is also hilarious. Sath's great talent is writing humour and hotness together, and it works so well here.

A lord and his prince by Beleriandings
Genre: Slash
Rating: E
Warnings: None
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, Fingolfin
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros

I'm deeply attached to this lovely bit of fluffy smut. It's pretty much just uncomplicated happiness, something that's far too rare for stories about Fingon.

The Feast of the Morning by Urloth
Genre: Slash
Rating: E
Warnings: References to sibling incest.
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros, Maglor
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros, Fingon/Maglor, Fingon/Maedhros/Maglor, Fingon/Maedhros/all the sons of Fëanor

This was one of the first Fingon/Maedhros stories I read, and it is delightfully kinky and complex, and shows off Fingon at his very best: strong, powerful, loving, bold, and hot!

Lay Down in the Tall Grass by havisham
Genre: Slash
Rating: E
Warnings: None
Characters: Fingon, Maedhros
Pairings: Fingon/Maedhros

I love all of havisham's fics involving Fingon/Maedhros so much that it was really difficult to pick just one (or this list would have been far too long!) This one is delightful, full of hope and complicated happiness, a moment in time in Ard-Galen.

Oooh thanks for this rec list! Will enjoy reading through them, they're all new to me :-) Gotta love it when authors can combine smut and characterisation and great storytelling wonderfully.

Great! I hope you enjoy -- as far as I'm concerned, these are the best of the best of stories about Fingon (and these authors have all written many other fine fanfics as well!)

Thank you for the rec! I've read ... all but one of these, such is my thirst for Fin/Mae content.

:D

I very much doubt there is a single Fingon/Maedhros story in existence that I haven't at least tried to read! The thirst is undying, and I'm so grateful to wonderful authors like you who stem the tide a little for me. <3

Wonderful list! I just love Fingon/Maedhros but I haven't read everything out there on them. It will be loads of fun to read all of these. :)

Thank you for these recs, there are a few I haven't come across yet.

Oh, wow! I have not read most of these so this is a real treat. Havisham is the exception--she's one I never miss. Anyway, there need to be many more fic recs on Silmarillion fics on a regular basis. Thanks!!!!
