OMG I Love This (as Fellow Eldest In A Large Family) And This Is Actually Rlly Realistic, Tho Of Course
OMG I love this (as fellow eldest in a large family) and this is actually rlly realistic, tho of course I don't of swords lol
Maedhros is ridiculously overprotective
During their childhood if any of the siblings were getting bothered by someone and they yelled for Nelyo he would drop everything and come running immediately. One time at a family gathering Curvo had started a fight with Argon and was losing. Badly. He hadn’t even gotten to the start of the second syllable and Maedhros was pulling them off each other with a first aid kit. He had been at the other side of the house in the middle of a conversation. Curvo hadn’t even yelled that loudly.
One time he found out Kano was being picked on. He was the equivalent of 15 and Maglor was like 12. He found Maglor crying after some 16 year olds had ripped up some of his music sheets. That was the first time Maedhros ever held a sword to someone’s throat. He had to be pulled off by three guards and no one could believe it because he was meant to be the well behaved sibling. When Feanor found out he was ridiculously proud and told Nelyo as much. Nerdanel glared at him disapprovingly but secretly agreed.
I firmly believe that even the whole way through the first age any of the brothers just needs to send one vague letter saying they might be in a bit trouble. Maedhros will be diverting the majority of his army to track them down wherever they are and make sure they’re ok. If Aredhel was Maedhros’ sibling Eol would have been found in a week and would be begging to be killed by the end of the week.
Anytime any of the Sinda diplomats get too aggressive towards Tyelko and Curvo about certain things Nelyo will make it clear that, yes, what they did was wrong and he’s aware they’re adults who made their own choices. But. They are also his little baby brothers so would you be so kind as to take a step back before he does something he most certainly would not regret. Everyone thinks Maedhros is scary enough to negotiate with on political matters. But that’s nothing compared to dealing with Protective Older Brother Maedhros.
Maedhros was very angry about the Angrod incident. He yelled at Caranthir for about half an hour. Moryo had apologised as soon as he’d seen Nelyo’s face but Maedhros still felt as if he couldn’t let his brother off so easily over something like this. He looked down at Caranthir’s face while he was in the middle of it and then he just stopped. Because that’s Moryo. This isn’t some general who went against his orders, that’s his baby brother and he looks like he’s about to cry. And he just hugs him. He knows it’s not even remotely the right thing to do, he can’t just not punish his brothers after they jeopardise relations with their allies. But damn it, he just can’t cope with any of his siblings look at him like that.
Maedhros loves his siblings a lot ok? Is this sort of about Maedhros losing the older sibling poll? Maybe.

I've saw few posts about mamma mia idea but with Gil-galad and his tons of unexplained fathers
but what about Elrond and HIS parent situation??
Imagine. You're trying to peacefully marry your cousin, but suddenly falling from the sky comes your star father with your bird mother. Also back from the eternal seashore hiking comes your lost, long-forgotten, murderer foster father. Then starts arguing who have best right to claim you as a son.
and boom, finwean family drama
(we can't forget Galadriel in all of this. oh, it'd be delightful)
Like Mother, Like Son
I love that Curufin and Fëanor look almost exactly alike, and I raise you this idea:
When seen from a distance, the tall, burly firstborn son of Fëanor favors his mother Nerdanel far more than his father, with his wild mane of red curls and his tan skin spattered with freckles. His stone-grey eyes are clearly Fëanor's, but he inherited his mother's large hands and broad shoulders; in fact, Nerdanel's almost masculine features are perfectly realized in Maedhros, the tallest of his family, a lordly Elf whose figure looks cut from the marble slabs his mother sculpts so artfully.
His personality is similar to hers as well; though his expression is often perceived to be cold and brooding, he has the same quick wit and observant nature as Nerdanel, and he weighs his words carefully before he speaks them. His lopsided, quirked grin brings to mind his mother's mischievous laughter.
It is why, though she would never say or show it, Maedhros is his mother's favorite son, and why it breaks her heart so to see him leave Valinor with the rest of the Noldor.
I absolutely love this - if you don't mind me adding my own hc to this: With all of his children (though specifically the first three) he would spend time getting to know at least a little bit more than the average person would (but let's be real here its Feanor he would probably try and find as much as possible) so that he could talk with his sons on these subjects, and wouldn't be (as) lost as most other elves would be whenever they discuss their interests/infodump
I also love the idea that they all infodump, all the time? At least before the whole silmarill debacle, they would do things together and cared about each others interests not just because of the interests, but also just to support each other in that way. :)

Learning Together
Head Canon: When Feanor first realized that Celegorm was very fond of animals he spent weeks learning all he could about them, as they were not his area of expertise, simply so he had something to bond with his third son over.
Maglor helping Elrond and Elros build the most elaborate blanket fort ever.
They have different rooms, like a kitchen where they keep their snacks, a stable where their stuffed animals go, and comfy nests of pillows and fluffy blankets for their bedroom. Maglor hangs lamps inside to cast everything in a magical glow. He of course is the minstrel to their majesties and plays whatever songs they ask him to.
Maedhros finds them all hunkered inside giggling. Elrond and Elros ‘capture’ him and make him their brave knight to guard their fortress.
When Erestor comes up to find out where his lords have vanished to, he finds himself challenged by Maedhros and also captured to manage the library of the blanket fort. Later he’s sent to the kitchens and returns with their lunch to have as a feast within the great hall of the fort.
It becomes one of their favorite games to play.
