New and Updated Fiction

I've often thought about Nerdanel's life after her husband and sons departed for Arda, leaving her behind in Aman.  This story (written for Slashy Santa's recent Valentine exchange) imagines the beginnings of her separation from Feanor - in her mind at least, after doubts about the marriage being successful were sown - and before her special relationship with Anaire had begun.  I have imagined the relationship to be a romantic one, although in the beginning there was a definite physical bond between the two women.

Fëanor was always fascinated by Nerdanel's freckles... the stars in her skin form constellations all her own - or are they?

Elwing receives some unexpected news.

As Sauron’s influence grows in Númenor, Míriel and a scholar of the Faithful discuss the translation of Elvish poetry.

Under the growing shadows of Angmar and amid her prophecies, Malbeth loves Fíriel and bides her time. 

The Valar call the Elves of Aman to prepare for the War of Wrath. Amid fraught Telerin politics, Anairë is conflicted.

In which Uinen struggles with what to do with Maglor wandering the shore of her Seas, the Oath that still clings to him, the Silmaril he keeps dropping into her domain, and her feelings in general.

Nerdanel sees an instrument that her second born used to play and remembers.
