#tuor and the fall of gondolin
At length they (Tuor and Voronwe ) came in their journeying to the Pools of Ivrin, and looked with grief on the defilement wrought there by the passage of Glaurung the Dragon; but even as they gazed upon it they saw one going northward in haste, and he was a tall Man, clad in black, and bearing a black sword. But they knew not who he was, nor anything of what had befallen in the south; and he passed them by, and they said no word.

I know this is lenition and Tuor’s father is called Peleg in LT, BUT:
AU: Beleg the father-less takes his found family trope too literally and adopts another random human child he finds in the woods
