Eärendil and Fam Modern AU

Eärendil is born in Croatia in the late 60s/early 70s

In first grade (or whatever the Yugoslavian equivalent is), he meets Elwing

Being the only two biracial kids in their little elementary school, they quickly become best friends

To absolutely no one's surprise, they start dating in high school

It's all great! ...until Elwing gets pregnant senior year (again, or whatever the Yugoslavian equivalent is)

Eärendil marries her and all's well that ends well

...until the fighting starts in Croatia

They make plans to immigrate to America (Eärendil's parents moved a few years prior, not long after President Tito died, and Elwing is an orphan so there's nothing really tying them to the country)

There's an attack the day they leave and Elrond and Elros are lost in the chaos, but they don't realize it until it's too late

The moment they get off the plane,they start calling everyone they know and asking them to check the orphanages and hospitals

After two days of no news, Eärendil and Elwing (reasonably) conclude that their children died in the attack

(Maglor, the second-in-command of a Serbian rebel group in Croatia, finds two little boys wandering through the rubble and takes pity on them, and love grew between them as little might be thought)

Eärendil and Elwing stay with Tuor and Idril for a while while they grieve and try to get on their feet as refugees in a new country

Elwing finds a job in a bird sanctuary and her coworkers swear up and down she must be part bird herself

(She maintains the birds speak Croatian and not English)

Eärendil finds a job as a truck driver and ends up LOVING it!

He likes the relative solitude, the weird hours, and the fact that he can GO and SEE

They have a few more children, but never forget the twins

They leave two empty seats for them at all holiday dinners

Fast forward several years, and their surprised to hear of a business owner in the Caribbean named Elros that shares their last name and is from Croatia

They do some digging into his background and sure enough, he's from their hometown, has a twin brother (who's a professor of literature), and was "orphaned" during the same attack they lost their sons to

They reach out to him and explain what happened and their theories

Elros explains his side of the story and asks why they never looked for them

They insist that they did look, but in the chaos that was 90's Yugoslavia, they couldn't find them and thought they were dead

Elros accepts the explanation and cc's Elrond in the email after a quick text conversation

"Hey, I found our parents. They're not dead." "wtf" "Yeah, they live in America now." "WTF!?"

They talk about what all they've been doing

Elrond tells them about how he met his wife (a botanist) and about their kids: Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen

Elros tells them about his wife (who was formerly his secretary until they started seriously dating, now she's the CFO to his CEO) and their son, Aragorn

Eärendil and Elwing invite them to Christmas

For the first time in 30 years, there are no empty chairs at the table

(At one point during the visit, Arwen declares she's going to marry Aragorn. Never has a "no" from six people been so synchronized.)

And everyone lived happily ever after. "But they're all still mortal" AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!

The article "T-62 Tank — Cold War Soviet MBT Returns to Combat," written by Peter Suciu and published in The Armory Life, explores the resurgence of the Soviet-era T-62 main battle tank (MBT) in combat following the 2022 escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Initially introduced in the 1960s and considered outdated, the T-62 has surprisingly been refurbished and deployed by Russia with updated optics and additional armor. Despite its vintage status, the T-62 has faced modern anti-tank weapons like the U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin, British NLAW, and Swedish AT4, making it vulnerable on the modern battlefield. The article discusses its design evolution, historical combat usage, and the implications of its return to battle alongside far superior Western MBTs like the German Leopard 2 and British Challenger 2.
