The Latest:

day 15: "an important moment"
A collection of works written for B2MeM 2020.
In The Book of Lost Tales, Fui Nienna's hall is roofed with bats' wings.
In later canon, it is a certain other female character who is associated with bat wings.
There can be no connection, though, surely?

From Numenor to Imladris, the stories of the past are handed down, culminating in a momentous occasion.
Annatar takes a brooding Celebrimbor for a walk in the snow.
Galadriel returns to Valinor only to find it has changed beyond her imaginings.
A mechanical clock is imported from The Shire to Valinor.

Year 2510 of the Third Age: Celebrian arrives in Valinor during Sovalle, a new (for her) feast of repentance and reconciliation. And, much to her suprise and discomfort, she's not the only new face hanging around...
Aredhel is dead, and her relationship with Thuringwethil evolves.
Death attends the summer festival, not once but twice.
A nameless evil spreads through the North, and the Elves must fight or be destroyed. When the Hidden Valley comes under siege, Elrond and Celebrían's children face wars of their own. Elladan bears the burden of his father's secret, Elrohir fights his greatest battle yet, and Arwen seeks her purpose in a darkening world.
The tale of the fall of Arnor and the rise of the Witch-king, as seen from Rivendell.
This story is completely written and will be posted over the month of December. Many thanks to my wonderful beta readers Dawn Felagund and Cherepashka.
Maglor, just wanting to be alone, is forced to tell his story to some victorious Elves of the Host of Finarfin.
But he doesn't tell them everything.
In the First Age, just before the Fifth Battle of Beleriand, Beleg joins the forces of King Fingon and meets Haldir of the Haladin, son of Halmir, who had been his ally in an earlier victory in Brethil.
Millennia after the disastrous loss of the Fifth Battle, Haldir of Lothlorien is introduced to a re-embodied Beleg in Valinor, and Beleg speaks to him of his namesake.
Haunted by the past two years of his life, Maglor returns to the home he vanished from. Maglor in history.
In the far future, in a galaxy far, far away, a few lines from the Silmarillion still serve as inspiration.
