I'd like a story about Thingol, but not that maniac who ended up under a dwarf's axe, only a happy man, king, husband or father -- your pick. Thank you :)

Aya Findekano!
Lord Fingon came riding over the bridge,
clad all in white and silver.

My lord Fingon came riding over the bridge.
Aya Findekano!
Lord Fingon came riding over the bridge,
clad all in white and silver,
and his knights followed him, one by one.

My lord Fingon came riding over the bridge.
Aya Findekano!

Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo!

My lord Fingon came riding over the bridge.
Aya Findekano!
So, welcome one and welcome all!
Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo.

I would like a story about a reembodied Celegorm meeting Elladan, and realizing how much he resembles Lúthien.

I'd be interested in a take on the love triangle between Gwindor, Finduilas and Turin that tries to pay attention to all three points of view on their own terms, as much as possible.
