Instadrabbling Sessions for April, May, and June
The first Saturday of each month, we will be hosting instadrabbling on our Discord server.
Sometimes serving the Lady of the Golden Wood isn’t all it is cracked up to be.
My Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales-based drabbles.
Círdan gives a commentary on the Noldor princes, Lúthien has an idea, and Thingol throws pillows.
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)
Durin's thoughts, on history and his people's place in it. A ficlet of exactly 250 words.
Fixed-length ficlets written in response to the Back to Middle-earth Month 2010 challenges. Please see the Table of Contents for summaries and warnings for each.
Updated with:
The Pendant in the Stream, in which Nerdanel considers her life had she never married Fëanor.
Delvers, in which Maedhros recalls a superstition of the captives in Angband (warning for dark themes).
Glorfindel in conversation with idril.
Maglor post silmaril.
The host of the Valar who marched to Middle-Erth to vanquish Morgoth were wreathed in valorous splendor. But what were they like before they set foot on the Hitherlands? A short piece; Thanksgiving present for Ellfine, Fiondil and KiMahalei.
This series will include small thinglets that do not fit in my other series.
New: Speak Faster. Nerdanel meets Ælfwine on Tol Eressëa. A double drabble.
Ar-Pharazôn begins to worship Morgoth. Drabble.
Two brothers face their father's death and the differences that have arisen between them, for one is of the King's Men and the other of the Elf-friends.
One day Elrond decides to acknowlegde a request that changed his life and that of others forever.
Manwë has to deal with unexpected doubts, and... disturbs the universe.
Written for the B2MeM prompt, "Do I dare disturb the universe?"
An anthology of ficlets, mostly in multiples of 100 words, here all together for the first time. (Forbidden Fruit makes its first appearance at a public archive) Open-ended.
Daeron finds that his silent listeners have grown tired of silence.
Triple drabble (Tribble?) written for the B2MeM 2009 prompt, "Imagine this! You are walking in the woods and sudden a tree whispers to you ..."
Learning to make a fire...
When you need a stealthy archer, who you gonna call?
Yeah, yeah, Celegorm's the fairest of the Sons of Fëanor, but how many times does he need to hear it? Curufin cannot resist tweaking his brother's vanity.
Kindness matters.
Departure, to be followed by a return.
