New and Updated Writing

Of Aredhel. No, seriously.

An attempt at interior decoration leads to something else.

Now added: "Did the Earth Move...?" (another ficlet set in Valinor)

Different decisions by Sauron lead to startlingly different futures, while chance causes the best-laid of plans to go awry.

I wondered recently if I ever thought of writing a Fingon/Maedhros piece where they made different choices. This was as close as I could get. So, the answer is, I guess I do not have it in me to change their fate. Canon heretic that I am, however, I’ve already changed it plenty to suit my taste—happily ever after in Valinor together after the suffering and unhappy deaths given them in The Silmarillion and their requisite rehab in the Halls of Mandos. It’s the only way I can sleep at night.

This is a gift for Himring, who makes them suffer more than I do.

Alternate Universe. This is my very first fanfiction. You can find it posted on my FFN dot net profile under the name Elrond's Scribe. The ending of Arda Marred with a twist. You will have to read this little piece to make sense of many of my future stories. Includes the fate of the Silmarilli and much more. Hope you enjoy!

Aredhel and Fingon supervise Idril and Tyelpe’s Christmas Cookie baking playdate.

Lalwen's lover pleasures her during the Dagor Bragollach

Maedhros, a bit of post-Thangorodrim angst

Maedhros -- and Himring -- welcomes a visit for the season.

"Good morning," he says quietly, without looking at me. No one's said that to me in a long time.

For everything there is a season. Multi-age. Multiple characters.

Turgon before Vinyamar... Drabble, English and French versions.

Mandos fic madness for Halloween. In the halls of waiting, on the ward of the Ñ-specials, Tyelpe Curufinwion, Fëanorian brat extraordinaire, tells of his coming to Gondolin.

Written for alackofghosts on tumblr whose character design for Tyelpe I have shamelessly stolen. It was her art who made me wonder how this could happen.

Sauron assassinates Ar-Pharazôn before the Great Armament can be sent against Valinor, and takes power as Steward, turning the military might of Numenor and Mordor against the Eldar and Faithful; the history of Arda is altered forever.

Maglor and Uldor, some time before the Nírnaeth.

Exploring the lives of the Noldorin princes who would eventually produce the final king of the Noldor in Middle-earth.

The Steward Boromir, son of Denethor I, ruled Gondor at the end of the Watchful Peace, centuries before the War of the Ring.  He fought and repelled the Witch-king's forces in Osgiliath, but received a wound from a Morgul-blade doing so. Though his life was saved by his healers, he was crippled and died nine years later.

This story explores a different path for the life of the Steward...

Maedhros negotiates with Azaghal and accepts his offer of a dragon-proof helmet for Fingon. Fingon turns out to be less than enthusiastic about Maedhros's gift.

My take on the early history of the Dragon Helm of Dor-lomin.

Now added: Bonus drabble: A Matter of Helmets (Maedhros & Azaghal, gen)

Short stories containing members of House Feanor doing interesting, amusing, and strange things. Chapter Nine: Of Mice and Maiar. 

A pair of famous hands are burnt a bit less severely...

A poem for Finrod.

Olwë on the Kinslaying.

In after days historians would forget much about the Dagor Bragollach, and many things were left out of the Quenta Silmarillion, written with the gift of hindsight. But the coming of Celegorm and Curufin to Nargothrond was at first held as the greatest fortune to come to the Noldor out of that battle, for by their aid alone did Orodreth survive the fall of Tol Sirion.

Beleg meets and befriends Túrin, future life-ruiner.

A chance meeting in the forest prompts Nellas to revisit first impressions, and Lúthien to re-examine how she relates to her homeland.
