Summary
“The Maedhros who stands before his son is not one thing but many. He is a struck-down statue. He is a fading demon. He is a sword in a nuclear war. He is historical debris. He is the sum of a nation’s ruin. He is the first sunset of the Empire’s apocalypse. He is Elrond’s beloved Baba, who would find him under every starless sky. Archives will dissect him. Historians will redeem him. Writers will swallow him whole.”
In 1937, notorious Indian revolutionary Maedhros Fëanorian and his brother Maglor, take in a British colonial officer's twin sons and raise them to adulthood. Decades later, Elrond Peredhel, trying to leave a family tragedy behind in England, returns to India during a time of political turbulence and finds that everything, from the national landscape to his firebrand father, the ineffable Comrade Maedhros, has changed. Chapter 19: Epilogue, Afterword and 'Alternate' Ending.

Return to Aman by bunn

Summary
A series of stories about Elrond's return to Aman at the end of the Third Age. All these assume that Maglor son of Fëanor was one of the other unnamed Elves who accompanied Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Frodo and Bilbo on the ship when they left Middle-earth. Point of view is usually either Maglor or Elrond, but occasionally someone else (Celebrian, Lalwen, Nerdanel...)
The first story, And the wind as sweet as honey in the mouth, is about Maglor and Elrond meeting again in the Second Age, rather than in Aman, but fits with the overall series otherwise.
This series is connected with the Mandos series, about the experiences of Feanor, Fingolfin, Fingon, Curufin and Celegorm in the Halls of Mandos, but it can stand alone.

Summary
"The sword remembered by history is rarely the sword that falls. The mistake is in thinking history exists to preserve a thing that happened, when in truth it only exists to replace what happened with an account of what happened. The true event retreats before its own record as a stone retreats beneath soft, vivid-green moss, each retelling another layer of growth, each layer another season's omission, until all that stands is the surface that has consumed the stone. The stone is still there, technically, at the core, but the core is no longer the story. The moss is the story. The moss is what you touch when you reach out to feel the stone."
___________________________In Doriath, Maglor catches a glimpse of two young princes being taken into a forest, only to disappear in the blink of an eye. Years later, as Sirion burns to the ground, he comes across two younger princes engrossed in a game of knucklebones.
