Fëanor talks through how to make glorious enriched bread. Better than lembas!
Luckier. By whose definition, luckier?
Once, he had been more than a gracious listener in the Music.
That time was gone.
They're important, the myths people tell about themselves, about their histories. You can learn a lot from a tale or seven.
Eluréd and Elurín are lost. They meet somebody in the woods, though. Perhaps they can all be lost together.
These aren't really true drabbles per se, but they are what I came up with. Also, these are un-beta'd. Hope you enjoy!
Elegy on the fate of Boromir, the eleventh Ruling Steward of Gondor, son of Denethor I., after whom Boromir, son of Denethor II, was named.
Lulled to sleep by Luthien's spell, Carcharoth dreams.
Im which Hiril of the House of Haleth is the protagonist, there are extended dream sequences in caves, and I don’t have the slightest clue what any of it means yet.

What Feanaro may have been thinking before that speech in Tirion
Celebrimbor was first imagined as the descendant of Daeron. I decided to run with it.
Celebrimbor was the heir to the kingdom of Doriath before his father decided to vanish into thin air, leaving naught but a hastily scribbled note for a messenger to hand to him. In a difficult position as the black sheep of the royal family, Celebrimbor decides to leave for Nargothrond hoping not only to find a place where he fits in, but perhaps even word on the mysterious figure that was his mother.
Daeron and Maglor believe they are the only two elves left in Middle Earth, facing the changing world alone, until a suspiciously elven child comes knocking on their door in the midst of a storm, looking for safety.

In a post-apocalyptic world where only scraps of humankind survive, Eka discovers the lingering fëa of an Elf and is able to imagine a very different world. Written as a treat for Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, for the artwork "Courting of the Wood Nymph."
The story of Ninnachel of the Noldor, neither male nor female, but gwegwin -- literally 'man-woman' -- intersex and identifying as outside the binary. Warrior, lover, writer of obscene poetry, giver of hope and defiance, community builder.
Definition: An imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect.
From the Halls of Mandos, Curufin is made to see what is happening in Eregion.
After the Five Armies, Tauriel travels East.
In Nargothrond, Curufin deals with a lot of identity issues...
I am going to use this space for my contributions: meta, notes, links to stories, and to artwork. Rating will be teens or lower.
As Valinor is created, there are those who stay behind in the darkness to wait for those that come.
From the bliss of Valinor to the turbulent shores of Middle-earth, the life of Galadriel never gets boring.
A series of vignettes following my set of prompts for the Matryoshka challenge.
Celebrimbor takes refuge in memory. (Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain, only one step away . . .)
He is reborn in Valinor, and they assume he died because the Kindi were incapable of standing against Morgoth, especially after their King and Princes were not.
(The Noldor forget that their relatives weren't left behind on the March because they were incapable, but because they didn't wish to come.)
Kyron Tramell is a black high school student waking up everyday in a caged life of cocaine fumes, gunshots and abuse at the hands of thugs and a drug addicted stepfather. Then one day he opens his eyes to a magical reality. Kyron's a changeling, the son of a Noldorin Prince will his heritage & romance save him from the vengeance his heart craves for past bullies?
This is the tale of how an Elf became an Avenger, and what exactly that means to him. AU, obviously. From just before The Avengers to Civil War, probably through Infinity War eventually.
Strictly bookverse Tolkien, strictly movie-verse Avengers.
