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.
With Nargothrond’s might diminishing and the Elves’ borders hard-pressed, Finrod welcomes the first Men into his ranks, but when their chieftain, Bëor, becomes dearer to him than mere vassal, Finrod faces sending his lover or himself into deadly peril as the Enemy breaches the Elves’ leaguer.
Every morning, I leave you; every evening, you bring me back. An endless game—until the day it is not.
The memories Lalwen holds to or pushes away, on each side of the Ice.
The rider loosed the arrow before Dior could call a warning, and so he did what he needed to without a second thought – he leapt from the bush where he’d been hiding, and yelled to startle the deer into motion.
The doe ran; the herd ran; the arrow sank into the ground behind Dior with a deep wet thwock.
And then the rider came up to him, and Dior saw that this rider too was naked.
Celebrimbor is reading a novel, but there's a distraction.
It was written that Ulmo was alone, but delving deeper into the nature of the Valar and their adopted world reveals otherwise.
Elenwë did not marry for love, and finds herself longing through the years for something forbidden.
Idril and Meleth (my OC) welcome Finduilas, Niënor, and other refugees into Havens after the Fall of Doriath, hoping they can start anew there. Finduilas's daughter is distraught about the situation. Also, how did Finduilas and Niënor make it to the Havens after the Fall of Doriath?
Maedhros and Fingon meet in the mists, again and again. Until they don't.
Finrod thinks about his and Amarië's relationship while they cuddle in a forest. She is a closeted trans woman.
Fingon winters in Himring.
Fingon and Maedhros and the bittersweet taste of love.
Tirion's masked ball offers decadent delights, mistaken identities, insatiable yearnings, and inescapable philanderings.
Galadriel felt she had a well-matched friend in Princess Luthien, and she did not expect that ever to change.
A short crime-story that is a direct continuation of a Drabble written for B2MEM (Match).
Detective Aredhel and her second-in-command Haleth find the burned corpse of a boy. They now have to investigate men they had thought firmly and safely relegated to the past.
Can they be guilty of a crime so heinous? Why won't anybody in that dark, foreboding house cooperate when the women clearly toil to save their reputations and lives?
Pengolodh has a hard time getting accurate information on the past from a distracted Glorfindel and Ecthelion.
Ulmo sends dreams of war and sanctuary to Finrod and Turgon as they travel together along Sirion.
Shortly after the unexpected release of Fëanor, Daeron — now loremaster of Alqualondë and chief minstrel of the Eldar — finally reaches out to Maglor. Maglor is perplexed about his motives, but agrees to meet.
Finduilas has accompanied Finrod on a visit to Doriath, but she is soon drawn out into the forest to explore the land of hidden enchantments.
Pressure builds deep in Thangorodrim — a cheesy PWP drabble for the Cheesy Corn Chips Challenge.
Thuringwethil doesn't even know why she's here. It's not like the sex is rewarding.
Maglor wishes he could want less.
A wine-fueled faux pas has left a rift between Gil-galad and Elrond, maybe. If a week out of town and a new wardrobe can't set things right, there's always the sparring ring.
Newly arrived in Lindon but fast to the High King's confidence, Elrond is officially announced to Gil-Galad's court. He learns what these formal affairs are really all about. Content warning for consensual hair-braiding and maybe one drunken kiss or two.
Celebrían takes Elrond to meet her friend the Riverdaughter, who has news for him about someone he thought lost.
