After having found his shelter on the isle of Balar, a messenger delivers a memory from the past. Written, although I missed the deadline ahem, for the MPTT July 2013 Fixed-Length-Ficlet Challenge: Time in a Bottle. My assigned word count: 270 words.
A heartfelt thanks to the members of the Lizard Council who went over this little tale.

Set in 2859 TA and beyond, in the Dwarven stronghold in the Blue Mountains. Thrain's people live well, if devoid of the riches they once had. But young Bas, one of the few marriageable women in the settlement, finds a disconcerting source of conflict.

An elleth of Doriath is violently wounded and taken in by the sons of Feanor, risking confrontation between the Sindarin King Thingol and the "kin-slaying" Noldor should her kin find out. Though peace-seeking Maedhros tries to return the elf maiden, he finds that between her unwillingness to leave and his own draw to her, he cannot let her go. Maedhros/OFC

Olwe and Fingolfin had more cause than most to resent the Valar's tendency to leave dark lords unchallenged. A meditation on courgae, tragedy, and divine inaction.

"Nine ships there were: four for Elendil, and for Isildur three, and for Anarion two; and they fled before the gale out of the twilight of doom into the darkness of the world. [...] And all the coasts and seaward regions of the western world suffered great change and ruin in that time; for the seas invaded the lands, and shores foundered."

"And it came to pass that Tar-Palantir grew weary of grief and died. He had no son, but a daughter only, whom he named Míriel in the Elven-tongue; and to her now by right and the laws of the Númenóreans came the sceptre. But Pharazôn took her to wife against her will..." (The Akallabeth)

Celegorm and the world around him: How did he interact with it? What did he learn and what would he regret?

This story serves as a frame tale (story-within-a story) that will offer short vignettes that explores the world according to Celegorm.

This is a collection of ficlets, written for Back To Middle-earth Month 2011. They have nice stamps and passports, I caved (who is to say that only Fëanorians cave in for shinies?).
