Welcome to the Beleriand System!

Join me as we traverse space stations and ships great and small, meet characters from all across the legendarium and explore new and exciting parts of the Arda Galaxy!

of the fate of Eluréd and Elurín no tale tells.

Except these.

A series of fics centered around characters' return from Mandos to Valinor, and other characters' reactions, set primarily after the beginning of the Third Age; the title of the series comes from Mary Oliver's "Starlings in Winter".

A collection of comedic poetry about The Silmarillion.

One-shots and shorter works set in my AU centered around my long fic 'Mighty Love', which is currently only posted on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11790954/chapters/26591097

Sorted chronologically.

In Aman Maedhros and Fingolfin start a secret relationship based on their common taste for plays of power and pain. When Maedhros comes back from Angband hurt both in body and soul Fingolfin does everything he can to make him still feel wanted.

Sharû is an orc, a soldier of Morgoth, and he should feel nothing but hatred and contempt for elves. But there are his parents who teach him differently, (his brother who looks like an elf), and there's also his superior who has sympathy for the slaves.

When the Valar come to fight, he helps to free the slaves instead of killing them, the deed earning him and his men a place in Aman.

Eonwe and Reviahûn have been a couple for many centuries. When Reviahûn manages to flee from his captivity in Angband, their world changes completely not only because the trees are gone.

Tolkienfic inspired by and engaging with Jewish holidays. 

Less a series than a label for all my stories that take place in my own headcanon/'verse

Before the Elves came to Aman, they spent centuries in the dark lands of Middle-earth, but there are few stories from these days. This series collects artwork and stories that attempt to close that gap in the history of the Eldar.

A collection of stories about Elrond\'s childhood with the Sons of Fëanor, and its impact on his later life.

25 chapters assembled into five stories. Each chapter fills four prompts, one from each of the four cards in the SWG May 2022 Vintage Bingo Challenge, for a total of 100 prompts filled.

The five stories are not all in the same continuity/universe -- for one thing, Ilverien and Red Crow cannot coexist, though there are elements they have in common -- but all of them can be read as part of an overall set of ideas.

Scenes from the lives of Caranthir and his wife Parmacundë.

Episodes from the life Galadriel wove for herself in Middle-Earth.

Who were Ulfang's people, and why did they betray the Elves?

Ongoing Russingon-centric exploration of the Finwëan family dynamic. Maedhros and Fingon throughout the ages and those who loved them dearly.

Stories can be read independently.

Narya & Raiy's Pass the Parcel for Holiday Party 2021

Tolkien briefly mentions the Awakening of Men and then over 300 years later they appear in Beleriand with fully-formed culture and an apparently exciting and interesting history that's barely hinted at in the Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth.

The latter describes an oral tradition passed down through many generations, so while the Tale Of Adanel may contain a core of truth, the precise details of their ancestors' lives would naturally become embellished or forgotten according to each storyteller's memory and understanding, morphing and evolving over time.

The stories in this series explore the possible early history of Adanel's ancestors, the keepers of their wisdom traditions. (Adanel and her Brother happen to themselves be the ancestors of most of the First Age Edain and Peredhil heroes.)

Maglor's wanderings in the Second Age and his reconnecting with Elrond.

Note: All parts of the series have been inspired by or written for one of the Back to Middle-earth Month prompts and challenges at some point.

A collection of stories concerning the Númenoreans, primarily the Faithful and Elf-friends. Some are standalones, while others crossover with larger fics and other series. Think of it as the Númenorean corner of Fern's Middle-earth Cinematic Universe.

A collection of stories concerning Thranduil, the Silvan Elves, and even the Doriathrim. Some are standalones, while others crossover with larger fics and other series. Think of it as the Greenwood's corner of Fern's Middle-earth Cinematic Universe.

A collection of stories featuring characters from across my "his vision darkened", "archaic and content", and "old path to a new hell" series, all leading to "Defiance" that will depict the war itself, and which will be followed by a final fic as a coda. Think of this series as the Infinity War/Endgame of Fern's Middle-earth Cinematic Universe.

A collection of stories concerning a dark lord of many names and many guises. Some are standalones, while others crossover with larger fics and other series. Think of it as Sauron's corner of Fern's Middle-earth Cinematic Universe.

Stories written (or begun) for Nancy Stohlman's flash fiction prompts in November 2021, National Novel Writing Month.
