Curufin, the fifth son of Fëanor, is said to have been his father's

Elflings (348): Jael
URL: http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=6927
Teen, Reason for Rating: Rated Teen for adult concepts and sexual
innuendo.
Romance Partners: N/A
Boys will be boys, even when they're elves. A childish prank costs

Original Characters. Humor, rated PG-13 for adult innuendo.

the Begetting Day Celebration. Features pile-ups, embarassing relatives,
and of course - cake.

URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4124310/1/The_Littlest_Warrior
Teen, Reason for Rating: The villian in my story can inflict disfiguring
injuries with the touch of his hand. Prolonged contact with villian
results in death.
Romance Partners: N/A
Saruman has created an evil power that feeds on the life force of its
victims leaving behind a withered lifeless shell. His purpose is to find
Isildur's heir and rid Sauron of his biggest threat. The
entity's true form can be "sensed" by those who possess true
innocence, animals, the very young and the truly ancient. Can this
threat to Estel be stopped? Or will the hope of mankind be lost to the
darkness?



***SubCategory: Races: Elves: House of Finwe ***

A Smile (321): Aria
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=3\
08

of family members disinheriting each other from a first person point of
view.
Romance Partners: N/A
"Yet neither bread nor rest would [Orodreth] grant to Celegorm and
Curufin within his realm, and he swore that there would be little love
between Nargothrond and the Sons of Fëanor thereafter.
`Let it be so!' Said Celegorm, and there was a light of menace in
his eyes; but Curufin smiled [...] In that time Celebrimbor the son of
Curufin repudiated the deeds of his father, and remained in
Nargothrond."

A study of a father and son, with a momentous decision. An attempt to
understand why Curufin smiled.

Five Fires (736): Elleth
URL:

life that made him fear.

My Oaths I Will Keep (298): Encaitariel
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5629
General, Reason for Rating: N/A
Romance Partners: N/A
"Yet my own oath holds; and thus are we all ensnared." (Silmarillion, p.
205) Oaths conflict and doom approaches when Beren, son of Barahir,
seeks the aid of the King of Nargothrond. Follows the continuity of "In
This Far Land".

Denial (80): Oshun
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=2\
94
Teen, Reason for Rating: References to a possible future sexual
relationship between two men.
Romance Partners: N/A
This ficlet features Maglor and Maedhros as young adults and Fingon as
the Elven equivalent of teenager. Sometimes a sibling may know one
better than one knows oneself. (I make the presumption that Fëanor
and his family had a second home in Formenos where they spent their
summers, before they fortified it and withdrew there when Fëanor was
exiled. I would argue neither supported nor completely ruled out by
canon.)

In absentia (84): Robinka
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=2\
83
Teen, Reason for Rating: Mild violence; disturbing imagery and thoughts.
Romance Partners: N/A
Rescued from Thangorodrim, Maedhros slowly succumbed to pain. A short
take on what might have transpired between him and Fingon when suffering
finally brought Maedhros on the verge of breaking.



***SubCategory: Races: Elves: Incomplete***

A Darkness Lies behind Us (190): Bodkin
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5012
General, Reason for Rating: N/A
Romance Partners: Finrod/Amarie
Finrod Felagund, it is said, walks with Finarfin his father beneath the
trees of Eldamar. But Finarfin is not the only one Finrod left behind
him when he chose to take the road east - for Amarie of the Vanyar went
not with him into exile. The story of Finrod's return from the Halls of
Mandos and his readjustment to life in Aman. (This story is still
progressing. Just very slowly. But the next chapter should arrive soon.)

Journeys of Vása (140): Dawn Felagund
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=2\
06
Mature, Reason for Rating: canon rape (non-graphic); mature themes
Romance Partners: Tilion/Arien
A series of vignettes about the first rising of the Sun, from the
perspectives of different characters. This story will eventually contain
six vignettes. Completed are vignettes from the point-of-view of Tilion,
Mahtan, and Fingolfin.

In This Far Land (191): Encaitariel
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4580
Teen, Reason for Rating: This story is rated primarily for emotional
content which I do not think is general kid-viewing, and that primarily
in the second chapter. I rather err on the side of caution.
Romance Partners: N/A
This was written to illuminate the implicit. Gildor Inglorion claims to
be "of the House of Finrod". How can this be? There are many
possibilities. Elvish First Age politics? The Kin-Strife was just that,
and nobody fights like siblings. Elves are wise; yet wisdom is won by
experience, not birth. This is the story of a young boy, and the events
which surround him and mold him. This is the beginning of my "what
if", and in the end, as always, it comes down to family.

Prior Claim: The Sons of Elrond Series (648): Eresse
URL: http://eresse21.livejournal.com/?skip=20&tag=prior+claim
Mature, Reason for Rating: There are a fair number of sexually explicit
scenes once the main protagonists come of age.
Romance Partners: Legolas/Elrohir, Elladan/m
"Prior Claim" follows the friendship of an adolescent Elrohir and a much
older Legolas and its evolution into a romance when Elrohir comes of
age. Unlike with previous stories, every chapter in this piece is
inspired by a word prompt from the fanfic100 challenge on live journal.

Crumbling Walls (662): Ford of Bruinen
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=1\
89
Teen, Reason for Rating: Some romaance. Kissing.
Romance Partners: Glorfindel/Ecthelion
The story follows Glorfindel and Ecthelion's relationship from the
move from Nevrast until the fall of Gondolin in a series of four short
stories. The crumbling relationship between Glorfindel and Ecthelion is
used to illustrate the growing divisions in the hidden city until its
fall.

Don't Explain (289): gwidhiel
URL: http://www.tolkienfanfiction.com/Story_Read_Head.php?STid=924
General, Reason for Rating: No violence or mature content

Ionnath-Estel ( The Sons Of Hope ) (318): Kenaz
URL: http://www.lotrfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?sid=9421
Mature, Reason for Rating: Includes a romantic relationship between two

different Elven cultures.
Romance Partners: Haldir, Elladan, Legolas
Beneath the sheltering boughs of Lorien, a bond of great friendship is
forged between a son of Elrond and a son of the Golden Wood. Yet
powerful forces conspire to sunder them: ancient traditions, perilous
times, and a handsome Greenwood prince…

Lessons from the Mountain (221): MithLuin
URL:
http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=2\

47&chapter=3
Teen, Reason for Rating: Mild description of kissing, allusions to

mild, though, and probably nothing that would upset children. Rated
'Teens' to be on the safe side.
Romance Partners: Nerdanel/Fëanor
After Fëanor's death, his wife Nerdanel is granted a chance for a
farewell - or is she?

Refuge (423): Raksha the Demon
