Tolkien Meta Week Starts December 8!
Join us December 8-14, here and on Tumblr, as we share our thoughts, musings, rants, and headcanons about all aspects of Tolkien's world.
Maedhros stands at the precipice and ponders his choices, his folly, and his release.
When Angwë returns to Middle-earth after the War of the Powers, he discovers that Dwarves have moved into his mountain, Celebdil, and begun mining there. Then he meets his brother Sauron, who has plans for him.
Artíre and Sauron have put an end to their destructive feud... for the moment. How long can it last if others want to reignite it?
Furious at having been forced to take sides between Melkor's forces and the Ainur, Artíre seeks revenge on Sauron.
Amid the ruins of Doriath, the Elf-lord Oropher takes command.
This is an attempt at writing an account of the destruction of Doriath by the Sons of Feanor. It shall include the battle and aftermath. Hope you enjoy it.
The story of a mighty weapon and heirloom, spanning the younger ages of the world.
Thanks to JDE for the thorough beta work and for nudging me to post a story for the first time!
MEFA 2010 - First Place in Races: Other Beings: General
After the Sack of Doriath.
Valinor has been left in darkness, and Finarfin is the new king of the Noldor. One night, he awakens with a strange vision: Someone has died in Middle-earth--but who?
Tar-Miriel faces the wave that will drown Númenor while, in the midst of the forbidden realm of Valinor, Ar-Pharazôn is granted sudden awareness of her fate.
Celebrian falls in love and loses Celebrimbor, refuses Gil-galad until it's too late, and finally finds love with Elrond.
The tale of Elrond and Gildor coming together. Elros sees Elrond again, has sex with Gildor, meets up with Maglor, and dies.
Maedhros goes in search of Fingon's dead body after the Nirnaeth.
Maglor watches Maedhros consign his Silmaril to its right place in the earth. Then Maglor casts his Silmaril into the waters.
The Feanorian version of the Silmarillion.
After casting himself into the fiery chasm, Maedhros meets Iluvatar, has a theological lecture, and learns of love and Arda Remade.
A Maedhros angsting story. With the Silmaril in hand, he gets to ponder life before throwing himself into the fiery chasm. Not his glorious "Me miserable!" version. But hey, it's why I loved him even before I knew he was beautiful.
Sauron is freed from Morgoth by Maedhros, but he falls back into evil after the death of Maedhros.
This is the Redemption of the Noldor and the love story of Cirdan and Finrod. (There are 2 endings.)
Elrond receives a final letter from his brother.
163 years after their parting in Middle-earth, Elrond travels to Númenor to see his brother again.
Fragments of falling Doriath, centred on Oropher. Dior will not give up the jewel... MEFA 2010 First Place (Races: Elves: General).
In the trenches of a French battlefield, two young British officers and a forgotten figure from the dim past have a fateful encounter. Violence, character death.
