New and Updated Fiction

Sauron recounts his discovery of the fell beasts to Finrod, who visits the former Dark Lord during his imprisonment in the Halls of Mandos, in a tale of adventure and a bit of the macabre.

Pandë!verse-centric.  A little gory, some coarse language, mild sexual references.

Chapter 2 added:  Over tankards of ale, served in the replica of a familiar inn, Sauron continues his tale to Finrod:  his instructions to the Lord of the Nazgûl (who receives a disagreeable task); his uncertainties concerning the wisdom of leaving Mordor; and his journey to Layla’s homeland, where the Forbidden Valley lies.

The Royal Couple of Tirion Spent the Mingling Hour of the Trees Together

Maedhros, Fingon... Des cadeaux. 

Wherever Túrin goes, emotional turmoil is sure to follow. The marches of Doriath are no exception.

Turgon ponders whether to go to battle, and Maeglin makes his decision clear.

Les ruines du Beleriand... (drabble) Version française + traduction en anglais.

Idril and Tuor have sailed into the West... but will they ever reach it?

One long, meandering conversation between Ecthelion and Glorfindel.

I could say it's about aesthetics.
I could say it's about the author having fun with implicit characterization.
I could also say it's about vases, and grapes, and Maedhros.

 

The usual caveat applies: these are my versions of these characters, and while this story does not contradict canon, it does not have much to do with it, either. It's pure (s)elf-indulgence...

I had half a mind to throw your letter in the fire and let you wait another few months. After all, I told myself, he has waited thirty-four years. Surely he can wait a little more.

Fingon and Maglor correspond as Maedhros heals. Warning for descriptions of torture and mentions of rape.

So a shipwright, a high-king, and a seriously miffed Galdor walk into a bar…

Indis takes on a new servant, leading her to reminisce about life before Aman.

I got distracted by myself and my obsessing over a picture and forgot the prompt that I was writing. Tarion Anarore asked for "Hmm... The one with Fingon at the onset of the Dagor Bragollach." And instead she got Fingon and a bird!

Thanks, Ignoble Bard, for the Beta and entertainment along with the nitpicking. Your generosity is never taken for granted.

Maedhros reminisces, though he would rather not. An insight into how one deals with the day to day after the loss of a loved one.

A collection of Tolkien-based ficlets of varying subject matter and length written in response to this LJ challenge: "Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you between one and three sentences from that story. No holds barred. O-fic or any fandom you know I write."

Observing his son’s devotion to his newly rescued cousin brings back memories for Nolofinwë

Crossover! (English history and The Silmarillion) Written for an LJ comment fic challenge for this request from Just_Jenni: "Place the sons of Feanor into a Richard the Third setting in actual history. Any time, any place, but the sons MUST be in character and they MUST have some sort of interaction with Richard."

Richard III and Francis Lovell spend an evening in Leicester at the Blue Boar Inn shortly before the Battle of Bosworth with Silmarillion heroes Maedhros and Maglor. (Intended to work for anyone who knows either of the canons.)

Seeking shelter from storm one winter day in the Third Age, Maglor makes a grueling discovery.

The story of Maedhros' captivity in Angband, his rescue and his recovery is in the Silmarillion treated in a few paragraphs. This is a fleshed-out account of the events that may have befallen between Maedhros' imprisonment and his return to his old life... as far as that is possible.

Occasionally drifting into AU territory, depending on how closely you follow the source (WHICH source? :P).

The usual warnings apply - particularly to chapters marked with an asterisk.

Part One completed.
Part Two completed.

Part Three, Chapter 10 added: In which the reconciled Noldor make plans for the future. End of the trilogy.

Nellas meets a young woman in the woods of Doriath.

(Nellas/Niënor, slightly AU towards the end. Written for the 2013 Femslash Exchange for Rhapsody.)

When Niënor and Nellas fall in love, both of them learn about joy, sorrow, and unexpected gifts. Written for Astris/Solanaceae/Elvie at the 2013 Femslash Exchange.

B2MEM 2011 – Challenge – seduction plays a central role/Nan Elmoth.  Thingol contemplates beguilement. 

Fingolfin and Maedhros have an unexpected encounter in the woods during the Mereth Aderthad.

Berion, a captain of Fingon's guard, survives the defeat of his king in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and ends up in Gondolin.

A retelling of a very well-known story. Features Fëanor and Nerdanel as young geeks in love, a rather unsympathetic look at Indis, and a lot of very simple sentences.

Ulmo be thanked, the Noldorin refugees have finally found a leader. He has the most ridiculous name, though: Ereinion. "The Scion of Kings". And where did he come from, anyway?

Cirdan attempts to find out.
