nathair_nimhe | Fic Ideas

I haven't written anything this month (apart from tinkering with old fics/drafts) and I don't think I'll be writing much this year. So I thought I could just as well make a list of (most of) my fic ideas that will very likely never be written. They might not be actual stories to read but they have a lot potential all the same. I put all the incest stuff at the bottom in a separate list. (Might be a post in progress)

Also, if anybody wants to write any one of this ideas, do get in touch!

ETA 11/10/2024 Shit I forgot so many of these.

~~One more depressing moments out of Estelindë's life - Amras posthumously adopting her and a conversation with Maedhros~~ Actually wrote this as Start Again on AO3
Curufin finds out about some super secret ritual the Dwarves have to bring back their progenitor (iirc there's something about Durin being always reborn? I think), and asks Eöl to help him create an elven variant of the particular weapon used in it (the deal is that Curufin won't tell Celegorm or Aredhel's father that Eöl has Aredhel). Eöl does manage to make that very special sword, and then I don't know if I want to Curufin to use it on himself or to try it on a more expendable relative. I mean, I do kind of like the image of Fëanor crawling out of Curufin's body and the tragedy/grief of that (NOT fucking angst, because Fëanor would also honour Curufin's sacrifice), but I also like reunions! Also wrote this as Demise of the Ritual on AO3
The Dark Lord (who is not who you think it might be!), an alternative take on the end of the First Age (with no War of Wrath), wherein about a hundred years after Sirion one of Elros's children starts to wonder what the fuck had been going on in Angband all that time ETA Help I don't remember who the Dark Lord was supposed to be 11/10/2024
SurpriseSurprise visits Celebrimbor and convinces him to go East in search of Maglor (and Maedhros) with the incentive that they're going to visit the Dwarves in the Red Mountains. This of course saves Celebrimbor from Sauron (which might have been the plan all along). Celebrimbor is pissed off distraught, but in the end they find Maglor (and Maedhros)...and their family. Written as Back to Black, on AO3.
Celegorm and Curufin (and possibly Caranthir) survive to Sirion instead of Maedhros and Maglor. Curufin schemes and involves Celebrimbor (who might not be all that unhappy about it, actually). Title would be 'But Curufin smiled'. Generally I'd like a scenario where all the brothers survive except Maedhros and Maglor. Written as To Evil End, on AO3 (completely forgot I had another title in mind!, but well, that fic is just one possible version of this prompt)
Celebrimbor gets kidnapped, but maybe that's not too bad (maybe)
Inspired from "Heart of Void": the Void actually agrees with elves, and ending up there turns Fëanor and his six dead sons into powerful half-empty creatures. Cue creepy reunion with Maglor.
Eh...uhm...hi MACABRE by Dir en grey
Curufin's wife and Celegorm perform a questionable dance, with music and coreography by Maglor of course (and with background Fëanor bonding with his co-father-in-law, who I still have to develop a headcanon for; I've been thinking recently that maybe I could make Ivárë her dad, which would make sense given that he would also be Maglor's music teacher, or he could just be Maglor's music teacher without being Ivárë...maybe male!Elemmírë could be recycled into this role)
Fëanor & sons talking about Míriel and generally not-so-happy stuff - Wrote one version as Danzetsu on AO3
Cute family moments with twins & butterflies and Fëanor's far-seeing stones and maybe twins & colours.
Fëanor finishes the Silmarils thing (feat. his sons fussing over him). Also Fëanor making the Silmarils with the help of his sons (not in the sense that the Sons craft the Silmarils but provide fundamental advice/ideas for progression).
Fëanor meets his (female) best friend for the first time.
A fic set in the Our Heaven verse (wherein Fingolfin is jealous after finding out about OT8 in Taste Every Drop, too bad I'm not that interested in Fingolfin anymore).
The Fëanor-lives-AU feat. a baby dragon that has escaped Angband because he was being mistreated. Baby!dragon saves Fëanor and is then brought up by Fëanor
prequels and sequels to Leap of Faith
a sequel to Silent Circus feat. more drugs and drugged sex (obviously titled Silent Heaven)
Consumed King Finwë - i.e. the Valar let Finwë out of the Halls promising him that Fëanor will soon follow, but that doesn't happen and Finwë ends up seeing a baby!Fëanor that just isn't there
Maedhros dies at Sirion, the twins survive & get the Silmaril
Cat’s eye AU
Crossover with Sherlock Holmes (Conan Doyle’s) w/ crossdressing Curufin (the idea I have for this wouldn't involve an actual case because I can't write that, it would involve jealousy on Watson's part when he finds out that Sherlock has called these weird, insufferable people to help with a case)

!!!INCEST

Demon!Maedhros/Maglor...actually this started out as gen...basically Maglor and Maedhros decide to surrender to Eönwë, but Maedhros snaps after a while in custody, turns into a firey demon and destroys everyone and everything in the camp of the Valar. At first, I wanted this to be something that happened accidentally, but a couple of days ago I thought that maybe Maglor could be double crossing Maedhros in a way, i.e. he insists on surrendering because he knows that Maedhros will snap and does everything he can to make it happen. After the camp of the Valar is no more though, Maglor has to face Maedhros and basically demon!Maedhros fucks him (hard) in the midst of the wreckage (which would be dub-con in that Maglor is very much into it but demon!Maedhros would not take no as an answer (and makes it plain, and Maglor would consent even if he didn't want to because he knows he owes it to Maedhros). It would also kind of be canon-compliant, because 'threw himself into lava' could totally be a human misinterpretation of 'turned into a demon of fire', and Maglor never goes back to his kin because Maedhros won't ever ever let him go. ---> I have kind of written this, but not posted it.
A fic set in a Fumito Ueda background wrt architecture (not anything lore-related). It would have started with some Caranthir/Curufin/Maedhros smut, with background OT8, and then shifted to some platonic Míriel/OT8. Platonic because Míriel has turned into a half-tree creature when Fëanor took her from the Halls of Vairë to their new home, since Míriel had a physical body and things went a bit awry. Her top half is still elven, but the rest of her are roots, and the roots spread throughout the settlement. Hidden among the roots are the Silmarils, therefore the roots also carry and spread out the light that powers everything in the place. She alternates periods of slumber with periods of wakefulness during which she can still embroider and weave and be happy with her son and grandsons.
Maglor/Gildor/Ivárë in Rivendell, with witch!Maglor and fire-shaman Ivárë. Ivárë would have been a relative of Maglor in this - possibly Míriel's father - whom Maglor summons because "when flame burns bright inside one's mind, kin heed the call across lands and time" (lifted straight from Hollow Knight), and he would have probably had a shady past (dabbling in the black arts and whatnot)
When Maedhros dies he slips into the Void with the Silmaril, where he meets his dead brothers and father, Finwë and Tórin, and the lot of them move into a new world that is created inside the Silmaril from a memory of their last happy moments in Formenos. They manage to draw Maglor into that world (because again "when flame burns bright inside one's mind, kin heed the call across lands and time", Tórin says, and Maglor is all too happy to die and move where his fathers and brothers are) and manage to steal ''Eärendil's'''Silmaril too. The main issue then is how to bring Celebrimbor in? Curufin is ready to go out and bring him back, but Fëanor is afraid. Of course Curufin does go out (with Maedhros and possibly Celegorm). Arguments with Celebrimbor ensues (with Curufin having the upper hand with "okay, but you tried and failed here...trusting a stupid Maia of all things!"). In the end Celebrimbor makes it into the Silmaril-world (possibly someone has to kill him?). Basically the fic would have had OT8, Fëanor/Finwë/Tórin and Celebrimbor/Celegorm/Curufin (and any other combination really).
A wintry OT8 counterpart to Sweat it all out. Maedhros and Maglor make it back home from shopping, Caranthir is outraged that they would go out and buy shitty man-made presents, Celegorm and the twins come home from hunting for holiday meat, Curufin is always experimenting and Fëanor just wants to make sure that each son's favourite tea and biscuits are ready.
Fëanor/Finwë/OT8 who decide to leave Valinor after Morogth is released but before things turn really bad. Decades/a couple of centuries later Aranwë and Voronwë find them in the East of Middle-Earth, living a luscious life while the rest of the Noldor is stuck fighting Morgoth in Beleriand.
Finwë/Tórin, wherein Tórin starts wearing his twin Míriel's dresses, just to make Finwë's life harder.
Snowed-in Fëanorians - a different take from Shelter, obviously, a take where Fëanor hears there's been an avalanche near where his sons are and trudges through the snow to get to them and make sure they are fine. The Sons are very fine, since they've been spending all of their time in their secluded hut fucking Curufin pretending that Curufin is their father. Cue drama and sexual tension when Fëanor arrives half-frozen and beside himself with worry and the Sons would like nothing more than to fuck him there and then. (I really love this scenario)
Curufin having sex with his father's armour come to life (how does an armour get a dick? Idk, somehow!)
Celegorm/Curufin (consensual) guro featuring lots of blood, and death in general <3
necrophilia...because Sons would surely think they can coax their father's fëa back into his body by fucking it.
Celegorm/Caranthir - yarn shopping does things to Caranthir that Celegorm is all too happy about.
Caranthir/Curufin - WHAT THE HELL IS THIS KINKY CORD BROTHER??? Caranthir's adventures with kinky cords.
