Well, if you ever want fic recs that enrich canon without burrowing into OCs or ships, I can front you a few, provided you like Star Trek: Deep Space 9, The Silmarillion, or The Winter Soldier.

Sounds like nobody's shown you the good stuff, my guy.
That said, what you're asking for isn't actually legal for publication without getting the rights or waiting until it's public domain. Otherwise it's just sparkling plagiarism.

Reply to comment by craftygamergirl in Feanor's Speech: The best in all of Fantasy Literature by CanadianCultureKings
It's not entirely germane to an evaluation of Feanor and his speech, but it's interesting that the Valar only decided not to let Morgoth destroy Middle Earth after Earendil proved that holding a silmaril lets you reach Aman in spite of the Valar’s defenses, and Morgoth still had two. That's the kind of selfless justice I like in my angelic overlords, for sure!

Look, there are maybe 5 people on this good earth who love Feanor more than I do, but 'in all of fiction' is...a bit much.
I also think he was basically right about almost everything, but I won't get into that further than to say: Well, the Valar aren't human, and I don't think they understand the Children of Iluvatar well enough to rule over them competently. The elves shouldn't have been brought to Aman to begin with, they shouldn't have let all of creation except their own little paradise go to shit, and they should have at the absolute least clarified the extent to which they felt entitled to interfere with the elves' internal affairs before bringing them over.

Do you like xenopolitics? Because I fucking love xenopolitics. It's Garashir but as of chapter 56 they have mostly just had depressing conversations where they pointedly don't talk about how they were never in a relationship. Kelas Parmak and Rekot are both canon characters, also. The real meat of the story is about whether Cardassia eats itself alive after the Dominion War.
