Continuing on a line of thought I've been musing on: the dynasties of Kings and how succession works among an essentially immortal race that can provably reincarnate in the rare event they actually die. Among humans it can get complicated even without us coming back from the dead or living forever. This is just an idea I had on what it might be like if Finwë came back to life in Aman. This will have a few other short stories tied into it as well but can be read on its own. Enjoy!
Now it came to pass that when the last of the house of Finwë had been gathered to Aman once more that a great debate began among the Ñoldor - for the great tribe that had been sundered had now largely been made whole. And yet for all the joy of their reunion their bliss was still tinged with the sorrow of deep wounds. The mighty sons of Finwë were no longer counted among the living save for Finarfin and his children; even those who had been slain now lived again in the noble house of their father.
And the wounds of Alqualondë though deep had begun to heal as those who had been so wronged by death began to return at long last to the arms of their loved ones. And so it was that Finarfin was able to broker peace once more between the house in Tirion and the house in Alqualondë. And this was overseen by the High King Ingwë and praised by the Valar.
Yet as has been said, sadness still lurked among the Ñoldor and at long last the root was discovered. Now it was that when their King Finwë had been slain by Melkor, some time thereafter the elf-maid Miriel Serinde had returned among the living, though she abode not in her fathers house, nor in Finwe's - for upon her refusal to return once more to life, Finwë had been allowed a special exemption.
But the condition of the return had been that only one may live at one time, for the elves took not more than one spouse and the marriage of Miriel and Finwë could not be undone; least of all with the bearing of a child between them.
And so this arrangement further was made; that Miriel may not be suffered to go back to the halls of Mandos disembodied so that her husband may return; yet if she would consent to remain within the halls of Vairë alone then Finwë might be returned once more to his kin - he having committed no great wrong and being furthermore far beyond the time of his reincarnation. To this Miriel agreed, for the halls of Vairë were pleasing to her and she had no desire to return to her husbands house, yet neither did she wish for him to languish in Mandos far from his kin.
Thus, Finwë was once more clad in elvish form and allowed to return to the Ñoldor. And it was said that upon the return of his father in their great hall in Tirion that Finwë recognized his youngest son and acknowledged his rule as King of the Ñoldor. Yet when he made to bow Finarfin halted him saying;
"King I may be, but I cannot allow that one un-born before sun or moon who is Eldest even among the Eldar be suffered to kneel before his heir!"
Finarfin then and there would have lain down his crown yet Finwë would not willingly take it - for he did not wish to deprive his son of what he had gained. So it was held before the Ñoldor themselves to make the decision as to where the kingship lie. To this the Ñoldor answered that though their love of Finarfin was indeed great; that they felt it best if Finwë return to his throne. So it was such ordained and overseen by the Valar. And Finwë was crowned King of the Ñoldor once more and his house held with great honor. And many in Aman wondered now at the strange events that had come to pass - for the King whose death had wrought such change in Arda was now returned to his throne and for a moment the elves wondered if all such things that had been so broken were in time destined to so restored and this gave them great hope for the future.
