"[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/43967626/chapters/110551780 Gorthauro Estel]] by Sauron Gorthaur (Tough_Girl)
* Recommended by: Lord Maaar
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: What if Sauron had not fled? In which Sauron takes Eonwe's advice and returns to Valinor to face judgment for his deeds.
* Comments: If you think that Sauron is an Evil Overlord in the purest sense of the trope, then you would be absolutely correct... by the end of the Third Age. Because that is what he became after his obsession with control and order morphed into hatred and tyranny. However, Sauron is not as simple as he seems: he was not one of the original followers of the song of discord and only joined Melkor after he grew convinced that the mightiest of the Ainur could provide him the power to bring order to the world. As we all know, he turned into the right hand of Morgoth and did terrible things before the latter departed the world and that departure, for the briefest of times, caused Sauron to repent at the feet of Eonwe. Of course he did not follow through with that out of pride but... what if he actually did? Would the Valar have provided the fallen Maia with the tools and the space necessary for him to observe the consequences of his actions and to heal from Morgoth's poisonous influence? This fic explores that possibility while not making Sauron a good guy from the get go (in fact, his motives for repenting were selfish and his thoughts are, as of writing this review, still very spiteful, ungrateful and paranoid) and showing us in full the objectively terrible actions he committed under Morgoth. But more than that, despite being AU, it serves as a very fleshed-out exploration of Sauron's mind. If you are a Tolkien fan and find yourself intrigued by this mysterious and deceptively complicated character, then I can't recommend it enough.

* Synopsis: The Doom of Mandos lies heavy upon the house of Finwe. Now the scions of the house will embark on a dangerous game across centuries to save their family.
* Tags: Dark
* Comments: A complete interpretation encompassing most of Tolkien's work, from the Ainulindale to the Hobbit, it is a stand-alone universe in itself, requiring no canon context most of the time. Made of nearly 80 stories, of which seven are novels, this is a story for your summer vacation. Reading it is not easy because so much of the Silmarillion is angsty, but the author has such a knack for beautiful storytelling that will linger in your mind long after you have finished the stories. Underlining everything is the love that the scions of Finwe have for their family.

* Synopsis: When Fëanor and his followers sailed out of Valinor in the pursuit of Morgoth, and Fingolfin and his people crossed the Helcaraxë, both parties emerged onto a much different continent, far to the East, a continent of men, where the heirs of Finwë could forge a new nation. But within this continent, a strange melody, a song, is playing, both of, and not of, Eru's harmony...

''https://archiveofourown.org/series/1300685 All That Glitters: Gold Rush!AU]]'' by TolkienGirl, Mythopoeia, and Victoryindeath2
*Recommended by: MissMelancholy
*Status: Ongoing
*Synopsis: Westward Ho! Instead of moving east, the Feanorians fulfill their Manifest Destiny...and doom. Lots of rushing, very little gold. Set in the late 1840's/early 1850's, this massive series takes the Irish American Feanorians from New York to California, where Morgoth is busy being a terrifying railroad baron.
*Pairings: Pairings exist and some of the fics will focus on them but they are always tagged. The exploration of familial relationships takes priority.
*Tags: AU, Family, Tragedy, Loads and Loads of Characters
Comments: This is a series that has been around for a little over a year and is over 600,000 words long. Moves in a generally linear fashion from the time that Maedhros is in his early twenties, with flashback fics of his childhood and that of his cousins. Follows the Silmarillion canon most of the time but surprises with original twists. Tons of angst but also beautiful moments. The authors show no signs of slowing down!
