Ah, Elleth! These are so excellent. I think I've let you know my feelings about them. I still love the Maedhros-in-Doriath and the murder mystery too, Chilling, both of them. 

Quoting what I said elsewhere: Trying to keep track of Elleth's B2MeM contributions, I felt a bit like one of those hobbits who threw themselves flat on their bellies as Gandalf's firework dragon rushed over their heads and then looked up to see it turn a somersault over Bywater.

Great to see them posted here!

Ha!  That last line is a clincher.  

I have to confess that I'd pay for the ticket to watch Estelindë and Serindë having a collegial chat. ;^)

Here, the praise of the black blade mingles with the hate the dwarf felt in an ominous way, which makes my heart reach out to Beleg all the more. Thank you for writing this little piece!

I cannot believe you did this in 100 words! This is wonderful.  You left me sitting here with my hand over my mouth, stunned. Chilling, scary, and absolutely perfect. (I came here to read this one so I could read the remix Zeen did of it and read a couple more--wonderful also--the Aredhel space/in-patient one! Fabulous and the tiny petrichor poem. I guess I missed this collections because they were part of massive B2MeM influx. I will come back and read and comment on others.)

Ooooh, thank you, thank you for directing me to this fantastic ficlet!  As you well know, BeMeM results in so many stories of quality (and Bungo Baggins' Bingo generated a huge number of fics), that it is easy to miss stories.  Thank goodness I read this.  I came here to see how Elrond came across Estëlindë's journals, and found a rich, darkly atmospheric tale and a very satisfying backstory as to how Narsil came to the line of Elros.  Although there are a lot of great turns of phrase here, this stood out:

They follow in, driving a host of memories like rats before them.

Fabulous!

"She had really bad handwriting."

HA!

Love that the boy, who would grow up to be the man who would be king, is reading of a treatment he will apply to the very same condition that Estëlindë describes.  Very neat tie-in between the First Age and the Third Age.

This is so effective. Shiveringly good and evocative, spare and beautiful.

This is brilliant.
