#Nerdanel x Anairë

[cilil]

Femslash February

⬡ Prompt: Diamond & candles (sweet bingo) | Nerdanel x Anairë ⬡ Synopsis: A tender moment inside Nerdanel's workshop ⬡ Warnings: Nudity, touching ⬡ Drabble ⬡ AO3

AN: For @i-did-not-mean-to💚

The inside of the workshop was dimly lit, illuminated only by candles. 

A soft, warm glow engulfed Anairë's unclothed hröa like holy fire, and Nerdanel traced her form with her fingertips as if she wanted to commit every inch to memory forever. 

"Never will I understand," she whispered, "what others see in jewels and trinkets while you are fairer than gold and more beautiful than diamonds." 

"Neither will I," Anairë breathed. "Were you my wife and waiting for me at home, I would never leave; but alas, it was not to be, and thus I shall seek you here instead."

Thanks for reading! ♡

I left out Finwë & Míriel & Indis, since that situation is quiet complicated to put it simple😅

I only included ships I (for some reason) found fanworks about during my time in this fandom, if there is a canon/noncanon ship that i did not include that isn't because I don't like it but simply because I didn't find it here (I'm still kind of new to the fandom, I've only been here for like three months...)

Latest Ideas

I was tagged by @swanhild to share my last idea for a fic, thank you <3

I actually came up with something this morning, and for the time being it is simply titled

Lost Wives Club

The concept is that all of the Finwean wives meet regularly after their husbands (and sons, in many cases) go to Middle-earth, in part to gossip, but also to get over what has happened, they're all in the same boat after all.

The whole thing started when Anaire just showed up at Nerdanel's place one day, and then Elenwe shows up after a while, and Eärwen joins them sometimes just for fun, and maybe even invites Amarie...

The whole thing will absolutely have Anaire/Nerdanel as one of the main pairings (I just love them so much and they deserve to be happy together <3), combined with all the queer awakenings I can fit in somewhere.

Childhood Crush

Pairing = Finrod x Mairafinwë (OC)

Genre = General audiences

General ratings = pure fluff <3

Content warnings = none

Word count = 1,9k

Notes = Hi, yes, hello 🫣 It has been a while, hasn’t it? Anyway, I found my inspiration back and I’ve finished this piece in time for day 5 of @tolkienocweek ! The prompt was ‘shipping’ so it was in theme and I thought ‘why not?’ Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Finrod never lacked love. He was loved, and he loved back. He loved his father, his mother, his brothers, his sister, his grandfather, his uncle (uncles, sometimes, but he didn’t see Fëanáro much. He was still cool, in Finrod’s eyes. He always received little gifts from his uncle when he visited. It was a little secret between them, because for some reason, Fëanáro didn’t want Arafinwë to know. Finrod thought it funny, because Arafinwë was aware, but pretended he didn’t.) loved him back.

However, as he turned around five (in men years), he noticed something. His father kissed his mother and looked at her with Starry Eyes. His uncles all looked at his aunts like that too, Uncle Fëanáro with Aunt Nerdanel and Uncle Ñolofinwë with Aunt Anairë. He saw teenagers do that, too. And he didn’t understand. Why did they do that? It was so weird!

So he asked his mother and she replied something that didn’t make sense at the time. She said : “People kiss each other and look at each other with ‘Starry Eyes’ because they love each other, dear.” Finrod looked at her dubiously. What did she mean, ‘It’s because they love each other’! Finrod loved his brothers, but that didn’t mean he looked at them with Starry Eyes and kissed them on the mouth!

It was when he turned ten (in men years), that he understood what his mother had meant. He was with his family at a banquet organized by his grandfather Finwë. For once, miraculously everyone was getting along, and then, he saw her. Seated between a teenager Makalaurë and a small Turcafinwë, sat the most beautiful girl Finrod had ever seen. She had long silver hair, just like Lady Míriel (Finwë kept her portrait in his study) and gray eyes like Fëanáro. To be honest, she was the perfect replica of Lady Míriel, but with Finwë’s eyes.

Finrod felt his face get hot, before he averted his eyes. But then, he found his eyes drawn back to her. He couldn’t help but admire her beauty. Finrod didn’t understand at the time why he felt so drawn to her. She was just a normal girl! But that was where he was wrong, because she was the only daughter of Fëanáro. And it was well known that his children are everything but ‘normal’.

He stole glances at her, greedily looking at her eyes and hair and cheeks and smile and- everything. He looked at her everything and felt weird inside.His heart thumped loudly and his stomach felt like it was dancing. He wondered why he was feeling this way.. It was then that they made eye contact. Gray eyes meeting blue ones, holding each other, drowning in each other.

Later on, when Finrod grew restless of sitting and listening to the adults talk about boring things, he got up and went to the gardens. The cool night air was like a balm to his still hot cheeks. He looked towards Telperion, sighing as he felt tiredness come over him. Normally, he’d be in bed by now. It wasn’t that he wasn’t happy he could stay up late, but he really wished they were back home. He missed the feeling of the ocean breeze on his skin and the salty air. At the same time, he felt overjoyed at seeing his grandfather and Tirion again. The city was wonderful and a delight to his eyes. Art was everywhere and people were kind.

He was startled out of his thoughts by the most beautiful voice he had ever heard (after Kanafinwë’s, of course, but not that he’d ever admit it).

“Hello!”

Finrod whirled around, cheeks heating up as he saw her.

“H-Hi!” He replied, his eyes widening as she smiled at him.

“You’re my cousin Findaráto, right?” She asked, her eyes twinkling in the silvery light of Telperion.

“Uh, yes!” Finrod stuttered out, feeling nervous for.. some reason. She smiled at him, extending her hand.

“I’m Mairafinwë. Pleasure to meet you!” She said and he shook her hand. Mairafinwë… The name was exactly like her : beautiful, graceful, a joy to look at..

~~~

Since that night, Finrod found himself visiting Mairafinwë often : he had gained a friend. She was funny, witty, calm and talented. Their beautiful friendship blossomed and they became closer.

“Don’t move!” Mairafinwë tsked, frowning a bit at Finrod. He sighed, going back into his original position.

It had been two years since they had met and Mairafinwë had invited Finrod over at her father’s house. After talking for a few hours, she had proposed to sculpt him. Finrod, overjoyed, had agreed. Mairafinwë was good with her hands, he had seen the sculptures she made. Of course they were pretty, she learned from the best : her mother, Nerdanel. What he didn’t expect was that it would take so long to sculpt him.

He squirmed in his seat again, admiring Mairafinwë as she worked. The light that came in by the tall windows caressed her skin, making her look softer than normal. Her long silver hair was thrown up into a bun as she worked diligently, frowning in concentration. She kind of looked like Fëanáro when she was working : the same frown, the same twitch of the lips, the same analyzing eyes.

“Can we take a break?” Finrod said, sighing. Mairafinwë looked up and Finrod’s heart skipped a beat or two, his cheeks darkening. She sighed, putting down her tools.

“Alright, alright. We’ll take a break.” She said, smiling. She was as beautiful as always and Finrod found himself unable to look away from her.

When she took his hand and giggled as she dragged him outside, he thought he understood what his mother had meant all those years ago.

~~~

Finrod knew that Mairafinwë was older than him, of course. It wasn’t by that much, but it frustrated him to no end when people whispered that he looked like a lost puppy following her around. He was fifteen (in men years)! It wasn’t fair that people thought he wasn’t deserving of her!

Finrod had recognized that he liked Mairafinwë, maybe even loved her. He hadn’t done anything about it, yet. He was determined to court and woo her properly, but he didn’t have the right ideas at the time.

He almost had a heart attack when Nelyafinwë and Kanafinwë approached him with matching grins. They were usually the ones who were the most respectful and didn’t throw pranks, so to see them approaching him like that, he knew that something was going to happen.

Finrod wanted the ground to open up and swallow him when they told him that they knew he liked their sister. However, he perked right up and all his embarrassment was forgotten when they gave him a list of things Mairafinwë found romantic and liked to do that they had roped Turcafinwë into getting for them. He thanked them profusely, before having the scare of his life when their expressions turned grim.

“We support you courting our sister, Findaráto, but listen to my words and listen well.” Maedhros started.

“If we find out you broke her heart, for whatever reason it is, you will pay.” He said, a frown etched on his handsome face.

“Are we clear?” Maglor’s ethereal voice sounded stern.

“Yeah, of course!” Finrod said, a bit fearful. He almost had whiplash from how fast their demeanours changed as their expressions turned happy once more. Maedhros clapped him on the shoulder, smirking.

“Good luck.” He said before they left him with his thoughts.

~~~

Finrod had successfully started to court Mairafinwë. Dates had been arranged and he was happy, and so was she. The threshold of hand-holding had been passed and they spent more and more time together, almost attached at the hip.

Everything was going well. Too well.

That’s why Finrod wasn’t all that surprised when one day, returning from a date with Mairafinwë, his uncle Fëanáro approached him, saying he wanted to speak to him.

Seated in his uncle’s office, Finrod felt a bit fearful. He knew that his uncle was extremely protective of his children, everyone knew that. Fëanor looked at him pensively, saying nothing and making Finrod squirm under his intense gaze.

“Findaráto..” Fëanor started, making Finrod gulp as he tried to calm his heartbeat, his nervousness making his palm sweaty.

“Yes?” Finrod said, cursing in his head as his voice came out weak. His uncle gently smiled at him, making him calm down a little.

“Mairafinwë has told me that you have been courting for some time now.” Fëanor said, making Finrod nod in acquiescence.

“She loves you. Very much. It is.. clear that she has fallen head over heels for you. I want you to know, first and foremost, that I support this courting.” Fëanor said, tilting his head. Hearing those words made Finrod significantly calm down, his tense posture relaxing.

“Mairafinwë is someone who loves with all of her being. She is.. she is extremely like my mother in this way.” Fëanor whispered this part, his gaze turning longing for a second.

“I want to know if you love her. As in, you won’t want to leave her side in a century or two. You two are young, and there is plenty of time to grow and mature. These feelings you have for each other may change and that is alright. But I want to know now if you think it might happen.” His uncle said, making Finrod shake his head rapidly.

“No. I.. I love her. With all of my fëa. I think.. no, I know she is the one.” Finrod said, making his uncle’s lips twitch upwards. Fëanor hummed.

“In that case, I want you to know that I entrust my daughter’s heart to you. Be careful : it is delicate and bruises easily.” Finrod nodded seriously, relief washing over him as his uncle gave him his blessing to court Mairafinwë.

“However, I want you to know that if I find out you have not been treating her with the respect or adoration she deserves, or that you have made her sad, there will be consequences.” Fëanor said, a small smile on his lips to soften his words. Finrod nodded again.

That day, he left Fëanor’s mansion happy, for he had gotten his blessing.

~~~

It was a month later that Finrod kissed Mairafinwë for the first time. It was magical : something that made him feel whole in a sense and that made him giddy to think about. They laid underneath a tree on the grass, their fingers intertwined.

“I love you, Mairafinwë. I love you a lot. I… I wanted to know if you.. If you’d like to..” Finrod hadn’t thought about how he would ask her to become a couple. Well, he had, but this wasn’t how it was supposed to go. The words were all wrong in his mouth and his mind worked faster than ever to find the right words.

Mairafinwë gently put her hand on his cheek, her plump lips turning up into a smile.

“Take your time, Findaráto. I’m not going anywhere.” She softly said with that magnificent voice of hers.

“I-… would you like to.. to become a couple?” Finrod asked, almost wincing at his clumsy words. In his mind, he had imagined asking her poetically with a grand romantic gesture. Still, Mairafinwë smiled gently at him, her pretty eyes twinkling with happiness.

“I would love to.” She responded, making Finrod nearly bowl over with relief. He smiled at her and she smiled back. And he understood. He understood what his mother had meant.

When she kissed him, he felt his stomach dance and his cheeks become hot and thought : ‘How I love her..’

End notes : I hope you enjoyed! I have one story and some headcannons in the work, so I should post more often! <3

Funeral. A lovely introspective and emotional oneshot featuring Námo, Haleth and Caranthir... as well as a little surprise concerning Erestor.

Secret Meeting. Eönwë x Gothmog my beloved! This oneshot manages to be sexy, funny and a little bit sad at the same time and comes with a fun twist at the end too. Highly recommend!

Starry Night. The Elder King and his Queen try something new, coached by none other than the Master of Desire himself. A spicy look into the relationship of Manwë and Varda with a side of Irmo - love it!

Wandering Spirits. A truly interesting and unique take on the prompt, as well as a wonderfully emotional and heartbreaking oneshot featuring Nerdanel and Anairë dealing with the loss of their families.

Animal Companion. Let's end on a fun and cute one, shall we? In this one we get dog dad Námo with Gorgumoth and some family fluff. I love them all so much! Good boy Gorgumoth!

❅ Prompt: Gingerbread & cookies & romantic dinner (sweet bingo) | Nerdanel x Anairë ❅ Synopsis: Nerdanel and Anairë decide to prepare a special dinner together ❅ Warnings: / ❅ Drabble ❅ AO3

» AN: For @i-did-not-mean-to💙

"Dinner, you said?"

Anairë embraces her lover from behind and looks over her shoulder.

Nerdanel is kneading a ball of dough, slowly smoothing and shaping it with her strong, patient hands. 

"If you want cookies for dinner, you will have to wait a while longer," she laughs lightly. 

Anairë kisses her freckled cheek. "I would love that. It's... been a while since I had them fresh out of the oven... or baked at all." 

They are silent for a moment, unspoken understanding passing between them, until Nerdanel kisses her back. 

"Let's do it together then. For us and our memories." 

Thanks for reading! ♡

Anon: Got any headcanons or things about Celebrían? Just got into lotr recently, saw the movies ages ago but just never looked into it more

Hello, anon! Thank you for this ask, because yes, I have quite a few about her:

I mentioned this in my answer to the ask meme for Celebrían here, but I’ll say it again - she and Elrond were friends for a long time, and one day, he confessed to her. Celebrían was astonished, but she turned him down almost immediately, not feeling the same way. It was awkward between them at first, but they managed to settle back into their previous casual, comfortable relationship. Because Elrond never mentioned it again, and in time he was behaving around her just like he always did, Celebrían assumed, gladly, that he had gotten over her. It wasn’t until several centuries later that it dawned on her that she was now developing feelings for him. Since she was a straightforward person, she told him right away, admitting to the irony of the situation - but then Elrond explained how he’d never really gotten over her, he had just accepted that his feelings were unrequited and let it go since he didn’t want to ruin their friendship. After that, they began courting. (And Galadriel and Celeborn were very happy.)

Personality-wise, she is, like I mentioned, straightforward. Similar to her mother, she’s also a very good speaker and very witty. There’s a kind of charisma in the way she carries herself - she’s the kind of person you can’t help but pay attention to 

She’s a glutton for knowledge, like a Renaissance woman, you could say. She’s interested in a wide variety of things, including history, mathematics, art, music, linguistics, and politics. Her parents were both endeared at their daughter’s thirst to learn and suffered through intense headaches when she woke them at the dead of night asking about some historical event that they were alive during, or when they found her knocked out at her desk with piles of books and scrolls scattered all over it. Arwen inherited this from her. 

Her feelings for the Fëanorians were far from positive throughout the entirety of her growing up; although her parents’ experiences with them did have something to do with it (Celeborn being Nimloth’s uncle, meaning presumably he had kin in Doriath when it was sacked by the Fëanorians, Galadriel having known them since the Years of the Trees), Celebrían formed her own opinions from what she was taught. She despised the fact that they were willing to go so far for what, to her, amounted to some pretty trinkets, and in particular was appalled by the Second and Third Kinslayings. If she ever met Celegorm and Curufin especially, she would have looked down her nose at them. Because of her dislike (to put it mildly) for them, she sometimes wondered about how Elrond felt during his time with Maedhros and Maglor, but she didn’t ask him much about it - she could tell it was a sensitive topic that had a lot of complicated emotions from his part.

Speaking of the Fëanorians, she did meet them in Valinor at least once, and made no secret of her lack of good things to say, though she didn’t make an effort to be overly insulting. Suffice to say they had déjà vu from how similar she was to her mother in that moment.

Very down-to-earth! She didn’t care much for her image as a princess, and would often go out in a tunic, trousers, and boots. She also preferred to keep her hair tied back, often messily, and away from her face. A few times, she outright cut it to the chin, but she couldn’t be bothered to trim so it would just grow back again.

I mentioned she’s a history nerd, right? Her favorite historical figures (well, historical figures from her perspective) are Idril Celebrindal, Nerdanel, Anairë, Eärwen (despite Eärwen also being her grandmother), and Lúthien.

When she arrived in Valinor, she was introduced to her mother’s family. Finarfin was reminded so much of his daughter that he cried. His granddaughter quickly became the apple of his eye, and he absolutely dotes on her. 

Oh, and later, Celebrían fangirled, because she got the chance to meet Idril, Eärwen, Anairë, and Nerdanel.

I want to credit @undercat-overdog‘s fic for giving me this headcanon - in Valinor, she met Elwing. Celebrían already had a high opinion of her mother-in-law from when she and Elrond were speaking about their parents, and was delighted at the opportunity to get to know Elwing better. Celebrían would tell her about how Elrond was doing, about how he’d grown, the kind of person he was, and she’d also tell Elwing about her grandchildren, Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen. Elwing, in turn, would give Celebrían stories about Elrond and Elros when they were children. By the time Elrond actually got to Valinor, he arrived to find that his mother and wife had become very close. The three of them are all a happy family together with Elladan and Elrohir and Eärendil, when he comes back from sailing his ship through the sky. Fight me on this, they all deserve happiness.

@finweanladiesweek day five | ladies who married in | nerdanel x anairë x eärwen

She felt like an intruder, at first. Anairë and Eärwen had each other, from even before the departure of their husbands; she, who left her husband before he departed, had no one. And yet, in the aftermath of the darkness and the slaughter, the sorrow and the fires, they came to her and took her in their arms and held her close. Sisters, they once may have been, had circumstance allowed; now they are lovers, deep and true, in a way Nerdanel barely understands.

[veliseraptor]

would you ever write silmarillion femslash? genderbent or canon women either

This is another one of “not ruling it out, but no specific plans as of this moment.” I don’t really have femslash ships in the Silmarillion (or at least not active ones - passive ones, more so), and I’m only barely writing in the Silmarillion right now, so...it’s unlikely as far as the imminent future? 

Mostly I feel like I’m more invested in family relationships between the women of the Silmarillion - Aredhel and Elenwë, Aredhel and Galadriel, Nerdanel and  Anairë, Nerdanel and pretty much any of the Finwëan women left behind after the Flight of the Noldor...

I feel like Aredhel/Elenwë is the closest I have to an actual ship, but even there I mostly prefer them as close sisters who have very little in common but really like each other anyways.
